I'm going to be in the car all day, so the usual diet of misanthropy will be limited. The good news is: I have links!

• Bitter considers a new career option and notes her cohort's investment in duct tape is paying off.

• VodkaPundit lays down a brutal Fisking on an unsuspecting commenter.

• Dan Drezner speculates that Weaseldom may be overwhelmed by the evidence sooner rather than later.

• Ryan McGee has a brutal two-parter on relationships.

• Michele has lost her patience with Hollywood's weasel entertainers.

• Virginia Postrel has lots of great new stuff up that I'd post direct links to if I felt like picking the anchors out of the page source. Notably, the book's now The Substance of Style: How the Rise of Aesthetic Value Is Remaking Commerce, Culture, and Consciousness; apparently, Look and Feel was too risqué for the publishers. Or maybe they were just concerned that the jacket photo would lead to readers mistaking the title as an imperative. [Grammar humor. Cute. —ed. Aaagh, I've caught the dreaded ed meme!]

As an aside, I was brutally disappointed when I turned on C-SPAN late last night and there was no evidence of Robert Byrd reading the phone book. I thought we were supposed to be having a good old-fashioned filibuster? Meanwhile, Howard Bashman suggests the possibility of a double-whammy filibuster; I, too, have never heard of a committee meeting being filibustered. No word yet either on whether this will hold up final passage of the four-month-overdue Omnibus Appropriations Bill, which I can hopefully pore over in detail by tonight (assuming the GPO is on the ball).
