Tomorrow I get the keys to my house and then all this weekend its moving time. That, combined with having to move my computer and get it set up on a cable modem again, means there will be little blogging this weekend. I really wanted to be a contender for Most Blood-Hungry Blog, but I’m too far behind in the polls at this point anyway. You readers are useless; don’t make me get new ones.
Anyway, to the links. Laurence Simon has his tips for a happy Halloween, the sick bastard. Plus, he has put up the new addition of the Daily Funnies.
Joshua Ferguson explains why Halloween is a Democrat’s idea.
Rand Simberg has the Democrat’s sequel to the Bruce Willis hit The Sixth Sense (image only seems to work when you view it on his main page).
Emperor Misha I, who had a surge in the polls today, gives his reasons why he should be voted the Most Hawkish and Blood-Hungry blogger, and they are pretty hard to argue with.
Finally, as compensation to not doing well in Bill Quick’s contest, I got mentioned by Warblogger Watch. I should probably put up a warning on my site saying: “May be too intense for idiotarian viewers.”

This Better Be My Last Post About the Existence of Iraq
I’ve been really busy as of late (actually, there is a ton of other stuff I should be doing right now rather than blogging) and thus I haven’t been able to follow the news as closely. I stopped by the CIA World Fact Book today, though, and, listed right there between Iran and Ireland, was Iraq.
It’s still there? What gives?
Bush got his approval for war, so why haven’t we marched in there and annihilated all the bastards? I don’t get it. It’s not because of all these distractions like North Korea having nukes, is it? There will be plenty of time left to raze them after we’ve had our way with Iraq.
Oh, wait, we’re not actually waiting on the U.N., are we? If we are, I remember reading this Tom Clancy novel where some guys held the U.N. hostage; why don’t we do that. Their building is right here in New York, so it’s not like we have to go anywhere to do it. What we do is have our special forces storm the building and hold everyone in there at gunpoint. You just know those weenies will be falling over each other to be the first to cave into our demands. First, we’ll have them approve our war with Iraq. Then, we’ll make them sign a declaration that Gerhard Schroeder is a little girl. Finally, we make them give us a “blank check” war approval, approving war for a country to be filled in later.
Then again, holding them hostage at gunpoint could be taken as meaning their opinion matters, thus giving them the attention they crave. Damn, diplomacy is hard.
I Have Arrived!
I noticed a number of hits from Instapundit today, but not a deluge like a quick mention from Glenn Reynolds usually brings. So, I went to investigate and, lo and behold, I have a permalink on his page. I thought there would be a huge ceremony where one is presented with their Instapundit permalink, but instead it just appeared overnight as if it were always there. Perhaps it was always there. Perhaps Glenn Reynolds had foresaw my blog and had placed the link there even before I had started blogging, the link waiting there until I was finally ready. Such is the mystery that is Instapundit.
I am not so mysterious. I’m getting ready to update my blog roll and wonder if anyone else would like to be added and thus also become eligible for my prestigious Links of the Day. The cost is that you have to have a link to me on your page and then give me one human soul (doesn’t need to be yours). Most important, though, is to e-mail me.
I Could Come Up With a Better Title if I Were More Devious
I just saw a new McBride commercial against Jeb Bush. In it, they say that Jeb Bush has “devious plans” for the amendment to limit class size in Florida. And, guess what, they have evidence that Jeb Bush has said devious plans. On a secret tape they obtained at the expense of many Democrats’ lives, Bush proclaims quote, “I have devious plans.” Wow! Devious plans so devious that they cannot be described by the devious Jeb Bush as anything other than devious plans! Think of the nightmare of deviousness if Jeb Bush is reelected!
Joanne Jacobs, who knows infinitely more about education issues than I, points out that McBride is yet another person against standardized tests for teachers and instead wants to reward schools that produce dumb kids with more money. I wonder if he’s in the pocket of the NEA? That would be devious!
At first, I was just really happy that Reno would not be my governor, but, now that I’m over that euphoria, I really don’t want McBride either. So, if you’re a Floridian, make sure to vote on… oh, crap, I better find out when that day is.
Ode to Violence
Despite a whispering campaign against me, I am still going to campaign for Daily Pundit’s title of Most Hawkish and Blood-Hungry (remember, you get five votes). So, to that end, I have now posted an ode to violence itself. You will all read it.
