Bad Day For Blogging

Well, obviously, today's big topic - pretty much to the exclusion of everything else - is the execution of Saddam Hussein. There are a couple of posts from others out there that should be looked at, however. Gateway Pundit has a roundup of stuff from the left side of the sphere. Contrary to what one commenter wrote here yesterday, I think, there actually is much wailing and gnashing of teeth coming from that side of the sphere.

Redstate has a takedown of the mendacious and pernicious meme that keeps popping up. As he points out, things change over time. One of the things the left is very good at is cherry picking a certain event out of its historical context and judging it in light of today's standards. That is a particularly egregious way to lie.

UPDATE: Yuck. This is unhinged. A news anchor in Orlando calling Saddam's execution an "assassination. Anchoress calls it a new low in broadcast journalism. Its probably even worse than that.
