And Now Let's Take A Moment To Remember That Life Is Good
As I've mentioned previously, I spent last week emersed in right-wing blogville, attempting to look at the SwiftVets vs Kerry dustup as it developed day by day through a rightward gaze. I'll report on my findings in several posts, now that I've recovered my will to live, probably starting no later than tomorrow morning.
In the meantime, bereft of Stuart Smalley's undaunted affirmations, save for multiple screenings of the DVD of "Stuart Saves His Family," a much under-heralded, deliciously funny film (that makes an excellent gifr) written by Stuart's creator, the great Al Franken, who in every way and every day is getting better and better, let me share some life-affirming links with you.
Quote of the Day comes from Mark Kleiman:
There's more to read there, of course. Go enjoy.
Say a belated Happy First Blogiversay to s.z. and World O' Crap; s.z. has received the nicest missive from the Bush twins, and you'll want to look at it, and while there, don't miss this roundup of excellent blogs who had noted World O' Crap's birthday before we did. Of special note, check out Pete's, (he of the mysteriously funny The Dark Window) " O' Crap tribute" , and while looking in at The Dark Window, don't miss finding out How Saint Paul Predicted John Kerry's Treason Nearly 2000 Years Ago . Pete seems not to think it's an amusing post, though I was doubled over with laughter whenever I wasn't hyperventilating from fear and loathing.
I only discovered Pete when he vacation subbed for Seb at "Sadly No,"so check out Seb's comments on being subbed for by Pete here and here, as well as Seb's kudos to s.z. here. While there, make yourself even happier by checking out two takedowns of Kerry scandal-mongering here and here; that last "here" features the ravings of David Horowitz acolytes at TheFrontpage, a don't miss for sure.
For a takedown of the Instasmearing Instapundit to melt your heart and leave you aglow with happiness, go here.
Still feeling badly about those SwiftVets working our reprehensible SCLM? Check out The Bear Speaks, a promising new blog. and in particular "the Bear's" take on what's behind Kerry's measured response to the Bush attacks. And on the same subject, don't miss today's take on the Kerry strategy by Matt Gunn.
Yes, life IS good. (repeat ten times three time a day)

You know, I think Viagra really is a wonder drug: it seems to have made Bob Dole an even bigger prick than he used to be.
