Who says you can't blog a week's worth of news in a single post? Wait until we do a month worth of jblog posts...

* Bush Pledges Continued U.S. Presence in Iraq: Donald Rumsfeld was unavailable for comment.

* Carter blames Israel for failure of roadmap, denies he’s anti-Israel: OK, seriously. The man lies. He tells obvious, easily demonstrated lies. Things that are not true. And be publishes them as fact, in an effort to undermine Israeli security. Why do we have to pay attention to him again?

* Quebec recognised as a nation within Canada: It's becoming increasingly obvious that Canada is not a real country. Can we take the conservatives and the ski-slopes in the Western half yet?

* AMERICAblog: In face of concerns about their safety, Bush twins snub US embassy officials in Argentina: John in DC is pissed off because the Bush twins are making it hard on the Secret Service and the State Department by... refusing to leave the territory of a US ally because people there don't like them. Screw that. Quadruple their security, and have them prance up and down the streets to their hearts' content. Civis romanus sum - things haven't gotten that bad where the First Daughters can't walk around in public. If they have, there's some serious recalculating that policy makers better be doing, and it better involve the phrase "saturation bombing". Seriously, we understand that the left's instinct is to cut and run whenever ANYBODY is angry with Americans - but this is effing absurd.

* We're just kidding about that saturation bombing stuff. Mostly.

* Hezbollah Said to Help Shiite Army in Iraq: They're doing it out of the goodness of their heart. It has nothing to do with Iran, because as the French have told us that Iran is a stabilizing force in the Middle East.

* Woman faces fines for wreath peace sign: Nope, we don't care if the homeowners association is fining her for being vaguely anti-American. And you know why? Because it's hysterical. If Borat gets to be anti-Semitic because it's objectively funny, then the Loma Linda Homeowners Association in Pagosa Springs gets to fine stupid moral exhibitionists.

* Is the L.A. Times Repeating Enemy Propaganda? Yes.

* Waxman has Bush administration in sights: Because this is a family blog, we rarely use the word "fellatio". But come on:

See, Erica Werner isn't being biased by accusing the Administration of blundering badly. She's just reporting on what many Democrats feel. It's news! And they're not just investigations, they're searing investigations.

* MyDD: Democrats Won. We Won. Get It? MR: Your base is a bunch of resentful liberals obsessed with anti-Establishment posing. Get It?

* Iran and Syria Helping Hizballah Rearm: If this is news to you, then you are an idiot.
