The rumor since Monday is that Philadelphia Magazine named Attytood "best blog" or some such thing -- in my world, it doesn't exist if it's not online, so I guess I'll need to buy the magazine for myself, and so should you. If it's true, I am grateful, humble, honored, and just like you, puzzled :-).

To anyone who saw the magazine and is visiting for the first time, hi! -- I'm on "book vacation" (how's that for an oxymoron?) and the regular blogging of multple daily posts won't resume until mid-August or so. I hope you'll stick around.

I don't believe it. I miss the days when they did the best and worst. Maybe they're doing that again.

Can the Obamasiaah wiggle his huge ears and make it happen or sprinkle fairy dust on them to change their minds..Iran ends cooperation with UN nuclear arms probe AP, by George Jahn ////////////// VIENNA - Iran signaled Thursday that it will no longer cooperate with U.N. experts probing for signs of clandestine nuclear weapons work, confirming the investigation is at a dead end a year after it began. The announcement from Iranian Vice President Gholam Reza Aghazadeh compounded skepticism about denting Tehran's nuclear defiance, just five days after Tehran stonewalled demands from six world powers that it halt activities capable of producing the fissile core of warheads.

Latino-vs.-black violence drives hate crimes in L.A. to 5-year high Los Angeles Times, by Teresa Watanabe//////////////// Hate crimes in Los Angeles rose to their highest level in five years last year, led by attacks between Latinos and blacks, county officials reported today. The annual report by the Los Angeles County Human Relations Commission showed hate crimes rose by 28% overall for a total of 763, with assault and vandalism leading the way............ Our inert government allows an influx of poorly educated, low skilled, illegal aliens to flood our country, taking away jobs and neighborhoods from poor, low skilled Americans. The new arrivals have been racially discriminated against in their own country, but harbor racist sentiments themselves against the black Americans they are displacing from jobs and housing. Surprise, surprise -- racial strife is the result........... Quagmire! What is our exit strategy? When will the local government (Mexico) be able to take over and defend themselves?

He ventured forth to bring light to the world The anointed one's pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a miracle in action - and a blessing to all his faithful followersGerard Baker And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness. The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow. When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard and said among themselves: “Verily, who is this Child that he opens our hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?”

“weapons of mass defecation......”Stockpile Of Weapons-Grade Urine Discovered In Denver; Officials On Edge Firefighters in Denver have discovered a house filled with urine that protesters apparently planned to throw at police during protests around the upcoming Democratic National Committee convention. “I can confirm that a large cache of weapons-grade urine has been found in a Denver house recently,” said Denver Police spokesman Sgt. Mark Petrie. “This has caused quite a bit of concern for several reasons. First, the police nutritionist has warned us that the standard activist diet of latte, twinkies and marijuana is capable of producing urine of blinding toxicity. Second, the fact that they were able to pool together sufficient funds from their families to buy a house represents a significant tactical advancement for domestic activists over the much more decentralized parental-basement cells (PBCs) they traditionally operate from. Third, and perhaps most chilling, is the apparent abandonment of the cream pie as a weapon in favor of this new, potentially lethal weapon.

The insightful conservatives who post regularly in the comments section put Attytood over the top.

Glad for the good news, even if you are prone to odd fits of liberal outrage. <3

Obama's $845 billion U.N. plan forwarded to U.S. Senate floor 'Global Poverty Act' to cost each citizen $2,500 or more -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: July 25, 2008 12:30 am Eastern By Bob Unruh The U.S. Senate soon could debate whether you, your spouse and each of your children – as well as your in-laws, parents, grandparents, neighbors and everyone else in America – each will spend $2,500 or more to reduce poverty around the world. The plan sponsored by Sen. Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, is estimated to cost the U.S. some $845 billion over the coming few years in an effort to raise the standard of living around the globe. Barack Obama S.2433 already has been approved in one form by the U.S. House of Representatives and now has been placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar for pending debate.

"The insightful conservatives who post regularly in the comments section put Attytood over the top...." Good one, jmc. Very funny. Cause, you know, there's nowhere else to read cut and pastes from LGF, Newsmaxm, and WorldNetDaily, and fantasies about male body parts written by Republican lunatics.
