Laurence Simon is at it again, with this parody of the song "Giant Purple People Eater." (Hint: This one uses a one-eyed Egyptian-born people killer.)

Frank of IMAO has a transcript of a Donald Rumsfeld press conference that no other media source is brave enough to publish. Why, you'd almost think he made it up.

Da Goddess has figured out Osama bin Laden's real secret plan to destroy America. Honest.

Fred First is querying his fellow bloggers on their dialect oddities, and getting an international response. Don't let dialect discrimination overwhelm us, he says.

The Girl From Ipanema has been one of my favorite songs since I sang it in sixth-grade chorus. Madwoman Kane has managed to parody it with—who else?—George Bush as the subject.

Diane L. talks about the language of love, and how different it is for men and women.

Lynn Sislo has some good words of advice to the RIAA.

Solonor has gotten his hands on the secret emails the government used to spam the Iraqi Army officers.

Lynn B. on why Israel will never give up Hebron. (Hint: The Tomb of the Patriarchs is sacred to all three major religions, and the Muslims don't want to share.)

Dodd is talking states' rights and the President's attempt to limit damages in malpractice lawsuits. Why, I almost agree with what he says. (Almost.)

Windrider waxes poetic about the Axis of Weevil's gift pack, but I think I'm being insulted in the same post.

Shanti talks about quotas in her native India, and shows us how bad the quota system can be.

Michael Finley is a pissed-off poet. Yeah, I get where you're coming from, Michael. So do a lot of people.
