Miscellanea: My Cup Runneth Over Edition

Wow, it's just been one of those days with so much going on that I can't possibly get to it all...but here goes...

Lubos Motl continues his great coverage of a not-so-great event...in case you haven't heard by now, the no-confidence vote on Lawrence Summers passed by a healthy margin...

The great Christopher Hitchens has a followup on a very disturbing story...to begin with, how can WMD production facilities be openly discussed at the same time that Bush was 'lying' about the Iraq facilities? And second, how the hell did we not secure these sites? Quite vexing...

Clint at Right Question is seeing signs of a possible rightward lurch in the tendency of some conservatives to lampoon libertarians (under the apparent assumption that 'hedonist' is a proper synonym)...

The invaluable Tim Blair has apparently made an extremely weird enemy...

Americans For a Free Lebanon has news of the further march of democracy in Bahrain and Egypt...

Paul Campos exposes Ward Churchill as nothing more than a grifter working the long con...

Speaking of Churchill, Australia has its own version of the brouhaha...

Amir Taheri ponders the all-too-familiar silence of the Left when democracy is at stake...

And finally, I know you are literally on the edge of your seats waiting to hear my tournament picks...for the record, I've got Illinois, Duke, UConn, and Wake in the Final Four...Illinois beats Duke 87-79 to win the national title...you heard it here first!...
