It’s a late one, but hey… you’re not paying for it.

Here’s more stuff you should be reading instead of this lousy blog.

• I love the Mike Myers line about all of Scottish cuisine being based on a dare. Well, they’ve done it again. The Scots have gone and invented the most dangerous food in Britain. Yep, these are my people. (Boing Boing)
• You should really see this photo of a young George W. playing full-contact rugby. (Tom Tomorrow, via Atrios)
• And this unfortunate snapshot of our Kommandant in Chief.
• The Washington Post mis-reported sworn statements made by witnesses in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal in ways that would seem to favor the guilty. Why?
• Nice post by Kevin Drum. You should read the whole thing, but I’ll give you the first two ‘graphs:

  STRADDLING AND WAFFLING….Does John Kerry sometimes straddle difficult issues in an effort to please multiple constituencies? Sure. So do all politicians. Kerry’s real problem, though, isn’t that he straddles more than anyone else, but that he does it badly. When he explains his positions, he sounds like he’s straddling.

  George Bush is Kerry’s exact opposite. He straddles issues with as much vigor as most politicians, but nonetheless manages to retain a reputation as a straight talking guy who says what he means and means what he says.

• Digby sez the Swift Boat veterans charges that Kerry didn’t earn his medals tarnishes all war heroes. You think they care?
