link link link, and, uh, link.

Pointer via Dr Frank, Anatacia bt#'s, with, as he points out, extra-hillarious comments (hypothetical note to commentors - stop proving people's points for them by existing).

Traditionalism vs modernism, aka, the comfy chair strikes back (no one was suspecting), by Ginny on Chicago Boyz.

Also via Chicago Boyz, comes this link to a post arguing that, awful as it was, dropping nuclear bombs on Japan to end WW2 was the right thing to do because of the extensive defensive preparations they had made to draw out the war and develop leverage for surrender negotiations. Often times there are choices between bad and worse, and when they are made, the revisionists pretend there were consequence free choices.

For the curious, Charles Krauthammer seems to be responding to Christopher Hitchens, or vice versa or something. I can't be bothered with chronology. Also, somewhat inappropriately, Kraut,uh,Hammer just struck me as an ammusing name (ignore Beversluis for the moment, please). Yo, you set the Bavarians up and he knocks them down! Somewhere there should be an Yanksmasher or Frogpounder for parity purposes. (Britkicker?) (Etc)

Also, Drawn! is pretty good, but if you need me to point you towards Instapundit links, you're what? Old? Normal?
