OPW

One of the things I like the most about the tabbed browsing feature in Apple's Safari browser is that with one click I can simultaneously load all 49 weblogs in my daily read folder of favorites. Each in their own tab. This is not something I would recommend attempting with a dial-up connection though. Some days, like today, as I go through the tabs I am awed by the level of talent. It's kind of a mixed blessing. There is so much great stuff to read but by the time you read it all, you feel that there is really nothing left for you to contribute. Your left with posting a quiz or Other People's Words. So for your reading pleasure, I offer you links to stuff and sites you have probably already read.

Steven Den Beste comments on the government of the Philippines. He is not very nice to them.

The Philippines government demonstrated its strength of will and steadfastness by dropping to their knees, begging for mercy and giving the kidnappers everything they wanted.

The technical term for their behavior is "groveling".

Charles at LGF Comments on the U.N. vote in the Israeli Security barrier. He is not very nice to them.
The dictators, cronies, bagmen, and sycophantic toadies of the United Nations General Assembly have voted 150-6 that Israel is violating the human rights of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades.

And Israel must immediately cease oppressing the Islamic killers, by tearing down the defensive barrier that has been preventing them from carrying out their sacred mission—slaughtering children on schoolbuses: UN Assembly Tells Israel to Tear Down Barrier.

Words cannot convey my deep, boundless disgust.

Michele at A Small Victory tries valiantly to give a clue to the clueless. She's not very nice to them.
To you, a grave crime against humanity occurs when Whoopi Goldberg loses her Slimfast ads because the owners of the company decided that she no longer was a good representative of their product. She spoke out against the president, against his administration, made jokes about him and she lost an ad contract. She didn't lose her life. She isn't in jail. Her family hasn't been wiped out. Try some perspective.

The Dixie Chicks dissented and made the cover of Entertainment Weekly the next month.

That's America for you. Fascist land of dictatorship, oppression, stifling of dissent and a police state.

Hugh Hewitt guestions how deep the Berger story goes into the Democratic Party. He's not very nice to them.
There's much much more to this, as Berger's slap-dash --at best-- treatment of the nation's secrets in a time of war again underscores the Dems' fundamental unseriousness about national security.
Captain Ed at Captain's Quarter's posted about the latest Democratic judicial filibuster. He's not very nice to them.
This time, the issues were nakedly partisan and strictly political. Such a display of naked politicization of the judicial nomination process should shame the Democrats, who have turned this session into the most radical Senatorial opposition to any American executive in the history of our nation, excluding the Civil War.
Paul at Wizbang has a list of questions about the Berger situation the media seem to avoiding asking. He was not very nice to them.
Obviously, I could come up with another 30 quickly. And the follow-up questions once I got the answers would multiply. The media is seriously behind on this story. The NYT and CBS have obviously tried to shut the story down in one news cycle. SOMEBODY should be asking these questions. If I can come up with 30 questions in 5 minutes, it ain't that hard.
Frank J. at IMAO thinks the best thing to do with the left is to laugh at them. And along the way he was not very nice to them.
It’s true that Fahrenheit 9/11 has made around a hundred million in the box office, but the people lauding it are those who are already completely lost into madness and hatred. It hasn't moved the polls, and, personally, all it’s done is help me learn to spell "Fahrenheit" correctly.
Michele Malkin explains the political demographic of "Security Moms." She is very nice to them. Which is as it should be since they since they are moms, and they are right.
I am what this year's election pollsters call a "security mom." I'm married with two young children. I own a gun. And I vote.

Nothing matters more to me right now than the safety of my home and the survival of my homeland. I believe in the right to defend myself, and in America's right to defend itself against its enemies. I am a citizen of the United States, not the United Nations.

Rachel Lucas discusses Michael Moore's comments on Linda Rondstadt. Just how do you suppose she dealt with them? She wasn't very nice to them.
What I really have a problem with is, once again, Michael Moore's apparent inability to say things that are true. "But neither they nor you have the right to remove her from your building when all she did was exercise her AMERICAN right to speak her mind." Really? Sorry, dude. You're wrong. They - the management - do have the right to remove her stupid ass from the building because the building is private property. Get. It. Through. Your. Thick. Head.
Read and enjoy. And if you can't be nice, be mean with talent.

YUP- That feature made a friend of mine buy a Mac. She said if it was that easy she wanted one. I have all my fav blogs a single click of the mouse away.

2 That's cool. I just use Bloglines and get much the same result, I think.

Thanks for the link to the "security mom" piece. That was very interesting.

3 Mozilla does the same trick.

Meanwhile, there seems to be a lot of not-very-nicesness going around. Much of it very well-deserved.
