No matter who you are. . .
You must love BikerFox. He's a phenomenon, kind of like Richard Simmons, or Tony Robbins or Carson from Queer Eye for the Straight guy. Learn about BikerFox, for it will make your life better.
Oh, and don't forget his 2005 Photoshoot. And certainly don't miss out on signing, or at least reading, his guest book.

Protests Are "Worrisome"
Atrios put up what I think is one of his dumber posts today:
Democracy's Messy
Is it okay now to acknowledge that things in Lebanon are a bit messier (and, in fact, quite worrisome) than the 101st Fighting Keyboarders have been saying.
Sure, it's okay to say that. Go ahead. But, please, be sure to cite some specifics, please. Where has it been messy? Yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/050307/photos_wl_me_afp/050307170906_6dvhv8rb_photo1">The protests? The PEACEFUL protests? On both sides? If the protests on either side were met with a hail of bullets, "Atrios" might have some sort of point here. As it is. . . NOT. Ah, but it gets even better, with twice the hand wringing.
One reason I don't jump on every "yay! signs of protest by the good guys!" development or the latest "support the Iranian students!" calls which I regularly get in email is that some times these things end very badly.
Ah, yes, sometimes these things end very badly. And, sometimes, when I get in my car, I could possibly die in a horrific, decapitating car crash. Doesn't mean I stop driving. Sometimes, when I eat food, I could possibly get a hunk of steak lodged in my throat and choke to death. Doesn't mean I stop eating. On the flip side, sometimes peaceful protests can result in sweeping changes in policy and governmental rule, so maybe, you know, such protests should be encouraged and applauded, especially when they're unprecedented in the history of a region.
It's all very nice to support dissident movements and protests, but it's very easy to do when you're not the one facing down a billy club or a tank or in a country falling into civil war.
Anybody hear anything about Lebanon falling into civil war? Anybody hear about the Lebanese protesters facing down billy clubs or tanks? No? Why, it's almost as if "Atrios" is making shit up or something. In some convoluted way, "Atrios" thinks that, because Lebanese protesters may potentially be putting themselves in harm's way, nobody else has a right to support or encourage them. They should go it alone, those protester's should. We shouldn't be encouraging their dangerous actions with our reckless support, because we're not in danger ourselves and. . . what the fuck was his point again?
But, for more specifics get your smart commentary on Lebanon elsewhere. Don't know a damn thing about the place.
Apparently not. Didn't stop him from making a dumb-ass post though, so here's to free speech and all that.
And perhaps "Atrios" could entertain the blog reading world with his uninformed thoughts about protests in:
Never mind all that, though. Those are just worrisome protests that could, you know, potentially, maybe, possibly, but not necessarily likely, end very badly. So, shhhhhhhhhhhh. Nothing to encourage here.

Post Deleted
I had a post up that featured pictures of the supposed car involved in the shooting of the Italian journalist. The validity of those pictures is now under speculation, so I deleted the post until further notice.
