washingtonpost.com: Fred Thompson, ‘Law & Order’ Senator?

How about that. I knew that Dianne Wiest had left the show, and that they hadn’t replaced her yet. I never imagined that the reason was they were working on getting Thompson. I think he’ll be great.

Orthopedic Art Exhibit

Two types of art: art by orthopedists, and art by their patients. I just think it’s interesting, no real comment here.

Baschab to speak at Republican Women’s lunch

If you’re in Mobile Monday, why not stop by and ask Judge Pamela Baschab why she (alone among the members of the Court of Criminal Appeals) to uphold Medell Banks’ conviction for a nonexistent murder. Feel free to make fun of her name.

Man, 28, charged with rape of girl

A better headline: “Corrections Officer, 28, rapes, impregnates girl, 11”. Sweet Jesus. An 11 year old! What kind of world is this? Not that this sort of thing gets one hundredth of the attention of any given abduction case, despite the fact that it’s hundreds of times more widespread. Too icky.

Good. Toss him in with the other criminals.

Snakeheads Put Small Maryland Pond on World Map

Reuters finally has a Snakehead story. There’s one piece of news I’d not seen before:

Even the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) said it favors killing the snakeheads, though it prefers a more humane method instead of the state’s broad poison plan.

I’m not sure what they’d want — tiny little individual lethal injections? — but when PETA wants you dead, you really are an unlovable animal.

U.S. forces to be in Afghanistan for many years, top general says

Thank God we’re not going in for any of that “nation-building”, huh? Actually, this is good news, I just enjoy pointing out Bush inconsistencies.

Israel Tells US Delaying Strike on Iraq is Dangerous

Of course, Israel is hardly an uninterested party. I still think they’re right.

Even PETA hates snakeheads

At the risk of being considered once again an anti-Muslim bigot: Boo-Flipping-Hoo. Why’d we save them?
