Sack! Pillage! Peacekeep!
"Captain Byambaa Chinzorig is, perhaps not surprisingly, a little touchy about 1258 and all that. When Mongolian forces last came to Iraq, led by the great warrior Prince Hulagu, grandson of Genghis Khan, they sacked Baghdad, killed an estimated 800,000 people, brought to a bloody end the Abbasid caliphate and destroyed a vast array of ornate public buildings and a sophisticated irrigation system. Today, 745 years later, their plans are much more modest. "
trials; tribulations.
Plastic is down again. Damn it all! Damn it all to hell! Don't toy with me like this, Steadman!
ICv2 News - Fantagraphics To Reprint The Complete Peanuts
Word comes, via MetaFilter, that Fantagraphics will be reprinting the entire 50-year run of Peanuts, in 25 volumes. While, sadly, the strips from the eighties and nineties weren't very good, in the early days this comic was pretty darn groundbreaking.

Welcome on Emmanuelle.net
Une amie francophone makes the interesting observation that, in her opinion, "Arnold Schwarzenegger has an accent much less pronounced than today." Her suggestion for the reason? Ah-nold isn't smoking pot any more.
Margaret Cho BLOG
Margaret Cho -- the BLOG. Hooray!
Speaking of Korean chicks, where's your blog, Sueann? Or are you too busy winning fabulous vacations and posing in wedding photos - is that it? Seriously, dude - I've got plenty of vacation time. Take me with you.

Flip Flop Flyin'
A recent MeFi posting tripped a switch in my brain, reminding me of minipops.
I had forgotten what they were called, so I had been aimlessly looking for the site for probably two years (when I remembered to look, of course). Hooray!
Now, off to the museum with you!

Plastic.com has been offline for the past few days. (Don't worry -- it's up now!) Some were scared, but I wasn't worried -- we've been through worse before.
briankiel dot blog: Old-fashioned lock-in at Chiat/Day
It looks like I'm not the only blogstar who survived Thursday. The line at the cafeteria was hell, I tells ya!
Two more Chiat-based blogifiers: Krisr.com and Star-la.com. More as I find 'em.
PS - Ex-temp Mary no longer seems to be blogging at the Payne Pages blogspot site. These days all the Kool Kids have their own domain names.

Shut up! Shut up!
In the vein of last Friday's "Talk Like A Pirate Day," Atrios has brought us "Talk Like Bill O'Reilly Day". Has he ever. The thing is, while we can all talk like pirates until the cows come home, nobody, it seems, can stand to imitate O'Reilly for more than an hour or two.

Once again, FOX News shows that they are the classiest fucking news network around.
UPDATE - Okay, they've gone and changed the phone number to one that will get you to CNN. But earlier, they had posted Tucker Carlson's home phone number.

Eric Alterman: Altercation#030923
Charlie Pierce doesn't just write great little messages to Eric Alterman's Altercation, this week he's a-fillin' in.
Fame! I'm gonna live forever!
Being famous does have some advantages, points out Heather Havrilevsky in her article on the Emmys in Salon.
Like when you break up with your fiancé and they make about 15 or 20 cruel jokes about it on the Emmys. Or when your sudden death is teased repeatedly on national TV. That's what it's all about, you know?

Emmyblog!
What has MRJEFF3000 learned from the 2003 Emmys?
1. That Seven of Nine chick is pretty hot, and she's got a nice big rack.
2. That Alicia Silverstone chick is pretty hot, and she's got a nice small rack.
That said, ON TO 2004!
