You may have heard of the Huffington Post, a new blog run by Ariana Huffington populated by random B-list celebrities and other people, the airing of whose opinions the world benefits from none at all. You may not, however, have heard of Huffington's Toast, a parody site created by Steve of Hog On Ice fame, designed by Aaron of Aaron's cc:, and authored by, among others, Jeff Goldstein of Protein Wisdom. It's by far the funniest thing to hit the blogosphere in, well, probably its entire history. So have a look. This Dennis Miller parody (I suspect written by Steve) is one of the sharpest parodies I've ever read. Really.

Next, Varifrank has a good point about Koran desecration that everyone, regardless of their political orientation, should be reminded of.

Finally, John Cole has a handy-dandy checklist of conservative principles which have been forsaken--either in part or in toto--by the Republican party. Yeah, it's sort of depressing, frankly, but it's something of which conservatives need to be reminded. Remember, folks, you're the "constituents." You can, you know, contact these politicians and try to influence them. And whatnot. Because if that weren't possible, there'd be nothing left we could conclude but that they must be corrupt.
