Saturday blog tour

This is a mini blog tour because I had a crazy day!

How about that Iraqi soccer team?

How bad IS the missile defense system the Bushies are insisting on deploying pre-election? Noah Schachtman at Defense Tech posts that the former Pentagon testing chief Phillip Coyle says it is about this bad. More.

Mark Elf posts that Israel Shamir has been outed as a Swedish neo-Nazi.

Everyone’s talking about those lying Swift Boat Vets. The best treatment of the SBVT (Notice how that acronym spells subvert?) controversy is by Arthur Silber, of course.

Salam Pax is back and is posting on a new blog. He called the new blog shut up you fat whiner!, probably so people wouldn’t doubt it was really him. He was in Najaf today. Meanwhile, the mathematically challenged Raed Jarrar is still AWOL.
