The morning cup of coffee has an exhilaration about it which the cheering influence of the afternoon or evening cup of tea cannot be expected to reproduce. ~ Oliver Wendall Holmes, Sr.

Happy 3rd Blogiversary to
The Path to Endarkenment

Captain’s Quarters (Ed Morrissey) Bad Judgment — “In any fair trial, both parties should have judges who enter the case with no bias towards either in the case and at least a passing connection to reality. Amiri’s big wet kiss to Saddam showed that he had neither, and he deserved to be ejected. Maybe these activists can save some of their outrage for Saddam instead of the democratically elected government that managed to refrain from finding the nearest high tree when this bloodthirty monster came into their custody.”

GOP Bloggers (Jonathan R.) West Submits to Muslim Censorship from Afar - “The word Islam means “submission,” and Muslims clearly take it very seriously. It’s too bad that so many in the West who proclaim to stand for egalitarian freedom when it comes to abortion or gay marriage or secular government are silent when the right to express an opinion is under assault by mysogynistic madmen who would ban abortion, execute gays and violently impose religion on all.”

Blogs for Bush (Mark Noonan) What We’ve Been Doing in Iraq — “The MSM and the left like to paint a grim picture of Iraq - a picture of a military bogged down in an unwinnable fight, sitting ducks for IEDs, while military and civil leadership has no clue of what to do. For anyone who even makes a cursory examination of the situation, such a description of Iraq is, well, laughably stupid.”

The Jawa Report (Dr. Rusty Shackleford) British Muslim: “How dare (the police) come to a Muslim area” — “Abu Izadeen and other minions of Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed interrupt a press conference by the Home Secretary about terrorism shouting “how dare you come to a Muslim area”.”
