Welcome to an Instapundit-like link round-up of what I hope are links that you find worthwhile. I'll be updating this post throughout the day.
Yasser Arafat is dead (for real this time, it seems). May his first day in Hell last 10,000 years, and may that be the shortest. Power Line has a supplement to Arafat's obituary befitting the artist formerly known as the world's oldest living terrorist.
Media Research Center has the ten worst campaign distortions of 2004. Not surprisingly, CBS figures prominently in four of them. I don't know if MRC was actually ranking the stories; if so, I would have placed the media's distortions of the 9/11 Commission Report concerning the links between Iraq and al Qaeda much higher.
Speaking of CBS, I wanted to do a right fisking of this moronic piece by former correspondent Eric Enberg denigrating bloggers. I've changed my mind though, as Colby Cosh and Doug Kern have done it smarter and funnier than I ever could've.
[Amateur lefty webzine] Slate's Emily Yoffe assures us that it's okay to share our beds with our pets. That's reassuring, as on any given night you will find no fewer than two, if not all four, of the Kestner dogs stealing our blankets or otherwise hogging our bed. We're a pack, and the bedroom is our den; what can I tell you?
Cori Dauber notes that the NYT is still spinning its coverage of the Iraq War as pessimistically as possible. As if to drive that point home, the third main article in the on-line edition fawns all over the snipers in Fallujah -- the ones shooting at our Marines.
Martin Kove, better known as Sensei John Kreese of the Cobra-Kai dojo, now works with SuEllen Fried in talking to elementary school kids about bullying. You mean, he was available? And he's still wearing the black karate outfit?
