Probably not this morning. I woke up around 3am and took some cough medicine…

You can figure out the rest.

LATE AFTERNOON SUBSTITUTE

Captain’s Quarters (Ed Morrissey) A Rough Start For Mahmoud’s Festival Of Ignorance — “Pity poor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Here he goes to all the trouble of serving up some prime red meat to the Jew-haters of Islam, and they treat him like … well, like an ignorant and dangerous dictator. In the opening moments of the Holocaust Festival of Ignorance in Teheran, during which he called the Nazi genocide a “myth”, students made it clear that they weren’t buying what Mahmoud was shoveling:”

Iowa Voice (Brian) This Is Why We Don’t Take Global Warming Seriously — “See, the problem is that not enough people remember thirty years ago when we had some bad winters, and all the kook scientists were crying that we were entering another ice age. Now, because we happened to have had a few hotter summers than usual, it’s global warming and our skin is going to burn off. In another thirty years, they’ll be either back to the ‘ice age’ theory again, or they’ll have moved on to something else. Global milding, maybe?” [And for a good laugh make sure you read all the comments from the outraged. lol. Jim]

Blue Crab Boulevard (Gaius) Feel The Love — “If there was any real responsibility at the UN, Kofi Annan should have been turned out of office on his ear a long time ago. His continued tenure there for two terms is, I suspect, a direct result of his kissing up to some of the worst governments in the world. His relentless attempts to undermine anything America has tried to do in the decade of his control of the UN made him the darling of dictators everywhere.”
