And There's Other Stuff Going On In Real News, Too

Eh, you know the sites. Drudge, Lucianne, FoxNews, etc.

A lot of times I don't link big stories because 1, I imagine everyone knows about them, so why should I waste your time linking a story you already read? and 2, because I have nothing to add.

I mean, they rounded up nine bombing suspects in London. This is great news.

And that would be my comment: "Hey, guys, this is great news."

The suspected bomb-master has been detained in Zambia.

Again: "Hey, guys, this is really super news. I hope they hang him. That would be even more super."

So, nothing to add. Unless I could pull a Wretchard and analogize the capture of nine terrorist suspects to Darius' defense of Athens or somethin'. Which I can't. Was Darius even the king of Athens? I have no idea. So, right there, strike one.

Anyway... just letting everyone know, they're catching the terrorists. Yes, I know about it, and I'm not mentioning it because I figure you all do too.

Darius I, II and III ruled Persia.

Posted by: Bill from INDC on July 28, 2005 03:32 PM

Persia, by the way, was the arch-enemy of Athens.

You've essentially mistaken Stalin for a President of the United States. Good job.

Still waiting for that Oliver Willis-Japanese fembot joke, btw.

Posted by: Bill from INDC on July 28, 2005 03:35 PM

Xerxes then. Who can keep them straight?

I sure can't.

Posted by: ace on July 28, 2005 03:36 PM

Me, a lowly Athenien? I shall crush you as the Spartans at Thermopylae.

Posted by: Xerxes on July 28, 2005 03:50 PM

Shame on you, Ace.

Posted by: Victor Davis Hanson on July 28, 2005 03:55 PM

Me, a lowly Athenien? I shall crush you as the Spartans at Thermopylae.

Whatever, Xerxes. An army of 120,000 retards could have defeated that picket of 300 man-touchers faster than you.

Oh, and your navy fought like pansies at Salamis, bitch.

Posted by: Themistocles on July 28, 2005 04:04 PM

Yeah, ok, I screwed the pooch on those.

Posted by: Xerxes on July 28, 2005 04:13 PM

Of course, it looks like they could have had him earlier but refused a US request to have him arrested while he was in South Africa CNN link. I'm sure the left will say it's really our fault, that but for Guantanamo Bay or Abu Ghraib or whatever, the British Government would have agreed to arrest him earlier. More here at ThoughtsOnline

Just want y'all to know that no matter which side wins, Athens is gonna blow it all up in less than a century.

Which is just one more reason why you never trust democrats with national defense.

Posted by: Thucydides on July 28, 2005 04:30 PM

Never fear, I shall come to Athens defense.

Posted by: Alcibiades on July 28, 2005 04:35 PM

Athenians are chumps.

Posted by: Lysander on July 28, 2005 04:43 PM

Everyone knows that Darius is the King of the Blowfish.

Posted by: Dman on July 28, 2005 05:12 PM

Darius was the Persian Emperor defeated by Alexander the Great which is (clears throat) an example of the 2000 years of war along the fault line between the East and the West running from the Bosporus down along the Euphrates to the Persian Gulf.

It is now time for the West to repeat the triumphs of Alexander and reclaim Constantinople, Antioch and Alexandria from the nomad sand naxis.

Hey Bill, you know a hoplites second favorite activity? Bend over.

Posted by: Lycurgus on July 28, 2005 06:05 PM

I think it's HILARIOUS. Uh oh :)

Posted by: Dianne on July 28, 2005 06:47 PM

(rhythm: anapests; or, if you wanna look at it that way, iambic hexameter)

The feeble-minds who fill the board with taunts historical/

Would be more usefully employed behind a glory hole/

It's true that Athens fucked it up, the mob just got too greedy/

But still all good conservatives must not neglect the needy.

Fa fa faaaa.

Posted by: Aristophanes on July 28, 2005 06:49 PM

Pardon me. That's octameter catalectic, not hexameter.

My man Pericles had that illegal alien problem licked. Malkin would be all over him.

Hyperbolus BETRAYED Athens!

This is a DISASTER for our city!!!

Posted by: Albert F. Kleon, Jr. on July 28, 2005 06:57 PM

I went to nerd camp. Trust me, this is better.

For one thing, we can't smell each other.

Posted by: Knemon on July 28, 2005 06:58 PM

Hey, Lycurgas, you're mom's a Messenian helot.

Got a problem with that? You can have your butt-boy Cleombrotus meet me outside Leuctra after school to settle it.

Elric the Blade says he's no longer sure that Trump will have the right to appeal in the NY fraud case:
Yesterday, I thought that Trump had an appeal as of right on the fraud liability, based upon news reports that cited the second opinion as declining to find in favor of liability. That would give Trump at least 2 dissenting judges for an appeal as of right.
But now, after seeing the actual decisions, I'm not so sure. Sorry, guys. I've never seen or heard of what the second opinion did. They dissented, but ... decided not to dissent? I'm not sure what the effect is in terms of whether Trump has a right to appeal. I doubt anyone does.
I think even if Trump doesn't have a right of appeal, the Court of Appeals (NY's highest court) will take the case. But ... it's a liberal court so who knows how they'll rule. I have the docket number so I can track what gets appealed to the Court of Appeals. If Trump wants to appeal, I think he might file an appeal as of right and a petition for permission to appeal. His lawyers know this case much better than I, but even they might know what the effect of all the opinions are.
I don't think they'll take the appeal. Judges are lazy and cowardly and will duck any hot potato case they can. These judges are also liberal hacks, and do not want to deliver Trump a full victory.

Lost Seventies Mystery Click: The Darkest Song Ever Recorded?
I think Professor of Rock (on YouTube) claimed this song was so upsetting that people used to pull over to the side of the road when it came on the radio. It's about a fatal plane crash, but obviously it suggests a fatal car crash too, which could wig out a driver.
It's like one of those nasty 70s anti-war body horror movies. Not for the squeamish. I'm not even going to post the lyrics because they're upsetting too.
