Carnivals:
By the way, I've got RINO Sightings this coming week, Monday March 13. Republicans and Independents Not Overdosed (on the Kool Aid). Looking for thoughtful stuff written by middle of the road folks? RINO Sightings is it. The official carnival of the Raging RINOs community. Go here for a list of past and future carnivals.
To submit, either email me or use the Conservative Cat Submission Form (A great carnival resource!)

Right in the middle of the nuclear argument with Iran, Captain's Quarters has the best article on the IEDs and other stuff that's been killing our soldiers being traced to Iran.
This is a casus belli.
There is no argument. President Bush would be justified in putting this evidence in front of an Iranian representative, and saying, "Prove this isn't you or produce those responsible or you will have a war with the United States of America". He also needs to put it in front of every world body going.
Head on war with Iran is not in any way desirable. We would most likely win, but the fallout would be very bad. The best way to get rid of the mullahs regime is from within, but we may not have that choice. Indeed, the mullahs may actually want war in some perverse way, thinking we would play as nice with them as we have with the Iraqi people. I don't think so. I think if they get pried out of power the Iranian people will never let them near it again, but the mullahs may think it's the best way to shore up their regime.
On an entirely different note in the struggle against terrorism, Michelle Malkin notes an Arab American psychologist tongue lashing an al-Jazeera host. Clip here at MEMRI.
One less survivor remains to testify to what he saw. Auschwitz Escapee Herskovic Dies at 91
Three months after being sent from Belgium to Auschwitz, Herskovic escaped by cutting through a chain-link fence with two other prisoners using a pair of wire cutters he had hidden. It was the first night of Hanukkah in 1942...
In his prewar home of Antwerp, Belgium, Herskovic delivered one of the earliest firsthand accounts of the atrocities of the Holocaust.
The resistance swiftly mobilized, placing bricks on railroad tracks to stop a train packed with hundreds of Jews bound for the camps. About 250 prisoners escaped.
"His survival saved hundreds," the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles said in a tribute.
I believe most folks are basically good. I would like not to have to believe it happened, but it did. Never forget.
Wallace and Gromit Fans want statue. Gromit, at least deserves one, despite the fact that he's fictional. Memorials to dogs aren't unknown. Lord Byron did one that may be his best known work. Then there's this one. I happen to think we need more praise, and more memorials for that kind of loyalty where it happens.
Apropos of this here's a post on how Pets can save you money. Given my recent vet bills, not likely (each of my two thirteen year old dachshunds have had vet bills over $2000 in the last year), but that's part of what I agreed to when I brought them home.
Wizbang has a good post up about legal and moral liability versus just plain stupid.
Every time you do something stupid, you roll the dice. The dice turn up bad enough, you get hurt or worse. The level of difficulty varies - many people get away with not wearing a seatbelt for a long time. Walking naked through a bad area at night with $100,000 plainly visible is a lot more likely to get you hurt.
It's not illegal to be stupid.
I've always had my suspicions that this was the case, and this particular satire makes a strong case for Universe designed by committee. Multiple committees. Separated by thousands of miles and not communicating with one another. The monotheistic deities we've all been talking about this past millennium
or so? They're the art critics. Let's all go pick at least one god from each classic pantheon to worship!
HT to Politburo Diktat
Argghhh! has some questions that were asked on an International Tourism Webs site (of Canada). The answers are worth laughing at.
Captain's Quarters notes the very welcome news that some House Elephants are trying to return to the issues that brought their party into its majority status, lowered federal spending.
Meanwhile, the Donkeys issue a Contract On America.
Seriously, the Donkeys don't have a message, and they know it. HT Hugh Hewitt
Michelle Malkin indicates what the current immigration plan in the senate wants to do with illegals who are currently here. Give them "gold cards". I wish I were making this up.
