... see everybody back in a few days.
The Virtual Victrola will be back this weekend, featuring recordings made by Tommy Dorsey as a trumpeter.
Stories worth watching:
The sad, sordid tale of James Massey:
Malkin coverage (1) (2)
Gateway Pundit Coverage (1) (2)
Read the email The Anchoress received from a frightened and discouraged reader in France. Gateway Pundit also has good coverage of the French riots.
A reminder about the prohibited chemical weapons and nuclear material found so far in Iraq. Apparently, Democrats have trouble distinguishing numbers like 1500 and 0. And WizBang also has a good discussion about the latest moonbat talking point, the alleged use of "white phosphorus" against civilians during combat operations in Iraq. I could write about this subject, but I'd probably end up saying what Jay says.
And here's more on the "white phosphorus" story. Bottom line here: the only "military personnel" who have stepped forward as witnesses for the moonbat crowd are militant Bush-haters. That should be worth something. Also, white phosphorus ignites at room temperature, burns very brightly, and emits a lot of smoke. It is used in illumination flares, "tracer" ammunition rounds, and as a smoke screen generator. It has never been used as a "terror weapon" and it has never been deployed solely as an incendiary agent. Those who say otherwise are themselves probably "blowing smoke."
The Jordan suicide bombings. Experts say that they have all the earmarks of an al Qaeda operation. Pundits say that this will backfire; Jordan is a peaceful, prosperous state that (so far) has not been tarnished by terrorism. I hope they're right. Pray for the victims and survivors.
UPDATE: One of the perps has been caught. She was part of a husband and wife suicide team. Her bomb belt did not explode. Her brother was once the right-hand man to Abu Musab al- Zarqawi, and Jordanian officials are hopeful that she will provide useful information about al-Zarqawi and his Iraq-based al Qaeda operations.
There's a new name for the citizens of San Francisco: "targets."
This weekend was the 191st anniversary of the birth of Adolph Sax, the inventor of the saxophone. PowerLine's Scott Johnson looks at the sax and its impact on American music.
I'll keep adding to this list throughout the rest of the week.
