Wednesday morning digest

- Today is the fourth annual International Eat an Animal for PETA Day. I'm going to celebrate by ripping into a ham sandwich for lunch and following that up with some leftover Hamburger Helper when I get home. Here's to ya, PETA. (H/T: Daimnation.)

- The Tamil Tigers should have been criminalized long ago.

- Two looks at Russ Feingold's attempt to punish President Bush for using the full power of the government he leads to stop another 9/11, here and here. And as the Wall St. Journal points out, it's increasingly clear that "anti-Bush pathology runs so deep among many Democrats that they really do think they're living in some new dictatorship."

- It's time to stop making excuses for all religiously-motivated violence.

- Birds of a feather will shit together.

- This type of thinking leads to this kind of unfortunate behaviour. I feel very sorry for this little girl because the adults in her life are clearly unfit as role models.

- Three looks at Iraq before , during and after the invasion. Dissenting view here.

- Wrestlemania is fast approaching and for the first time in a long time, I could care less. One thing that does interest me, though, is the ongoing debate over why Vince McMahon allegedly hates Macho Man Randy Savage and will never induct him into the WWE Hall of Fame, which happens annually on the Wrestlemania weekend. One school of thought contends it is because Savage reportedly nailed a teenage Stephanie McMahon back in the mid-90s. True or not, to that I say "oooooh yeah, dig it!"
