Several new blogs to check out. First BlameBush:

Right away, I noticed two things about Scott Ritter: He shouts all the time, even in normal conversation, and he's a decent, kind, and noble human being showing unbelievable courage in the face of right-wing persecution.
We didn't have alot of time to talk - he was meeting a date at Chuck E. Cheese later that evening - but we had a couple of quick drinks and talked about recent events. During the course of the conversation, I had the youthful temerity of reading him a quote from his 1998 testimony before the U.S. Senate:

"Iraq today is not disarmed, and remains an ugly threat to its neighbors and to world peace."

Scott slammed his drink down on the table and glared at me. "SO?" he shouted.

"So, don't you see a contradiction between what you said then, and what you say now?"

"NOPE. NO CONTRADICTION. WHAT? WEAPONS OF...HALLIBURTON! SECURITY COUNCIL...HEY!! WHAT??? OLSEN TWINS. HELLO?"

Also go here, here, and here. Cold Fury put the whole Janet Jackson in the proper perspective:

I’m all for tits usually, and the barer the better, but the less naked Jackson freak-flesh I’m exposed to the better I like it.

Update! Damn, but I sure do wish the more squeamish and staid conservatives out there would just shut up already about this; they’re giving MTV, CBS, and everybody else involved just exactly what they’d obviously hoped for from it.

And Glenn Reynolds had this:

So here's my take: Breasts -- I like 'em. But if you look at this Drudge closeup (er, needless to say, it's probably not work-safe, depending as always on where you work) well, you can decide for yourself, but my first thought was "what an entirely unappealing breast." It's obviously fake (fake's OK; but obviously fake is, well, not so much) and then it's got some kind of bizarre pointy metal thing attached to the nipple. It looks like some sort of Ninja throwing-star weapon. (And forget the boob, what's going on with Janet Jackson's face? Oh, wait, never mind -- she's a Jackson.) Sorry, I'm not impressed.

Me neither.
