I returned this evening from the wild mountainous hinterlands of Virginia, and was hoping to put up some actual posts before I collapsed into bed for a well-deserved forty winks. But I was defeated by the backlog of email — do y’all realize how much email you can send me in just two short days? It boggles the mind.Anyway, I was able to collect a more or less normal news feed. The most important story is that after decades of internecine warfare, Hamas and Fatah have now reconciled, and have cut a deal to work together against the common Zionist enemy.
Also, check out the latest on Syria — the deadly repression there is continuing, but Sen. John McCain, among others, says that Syria is not like Libya, and the regime’s actions do not warrant NATO intervention.
To see the headlines and the articles, open the full news post.
Thanks to 4symbols, AC, C. Cantoni, Fjordman, heroyalwhyness, Kitman, Lurker from Tulsa, Takuan Seiyo, TV, and all the other tipsters who sent these in.

McCain who? Oh, that guy that lost the last election. He's a war hero or something, isn't he?
{tongue in cheek, of course}
Point is that our respected war hero has become quite irrelevant since losing the election. Not sure he'll ever accept that. If I were him, I probably wouldn't accept it either.
