Via The Truth Laid Bear’s New Weblog Showcase: LGF Watch takes aim at another blog for condemning a call to murder Dubya Bush while applauding a call to murder Yasser Arafat. If murder is wrong, isn’t it always wrong?

You may have noticed the “George W. Bush is a miserable failure” meme that has appeared here a few times recently. Over at Pen-Elayne on the Web, the lovely Ms. Riggs talks about this little game, which was inspired by a September stump comment made by Demublican presidential candidate Dick Gephardt and now is circulating throughout the liberal blogospheriverse. The game is pretty fun, but check out Elayne’s preferred nicknames for the miserable failure, which come courtesy of the fab WTF Is It Now?.

Another Dubya-themed diversion is on display at Rook’s Rant, where the Miserable-Failure-in-Thief is described as meager, meager, meager. Guy, you’re too kind.

So what to do when the nation is going to hell under the “leadership” of a meager, miserable failure? Natalie D’Arbeloff of Blaugustine is trying to get people to offer solutions to the many problems that face us at her Bloggers Parliament. Visit, read, and don’t mock, please. Offer solutions.

Over at the S-Train Caravan, Aysel laments the news that Sony is cutting loose 20,000 of its employees — for profit’s sake. The global corporation has the nerve to call the move “positive.” Tell that to 20,000 families.

The Mahablog offers a piece on the tragic Terri Schiavo case that pits the view of some disability-rights activists against some doctors’ opinion that when the brain is gone, life is gone.

Lastly, this is unbefuckinglievable. Attorney Jeffrey J. Upton, representing National Review Online contributing editor Donald L. Luskin, is threatening Atrios of the blog Eschaton with a libel lawsuit. Two words, Luskin: Public figure. Stand strong, Atrios.
