   On a somewhat unrelated topic: Matt, is there a reason why you don’t give photo or illustration credits? Because I’m pretty sure that none of the last ten images (including the one above) you’ve used to accompany your posts are in the public domain—and even if they are you should still be giving the creator a credit line.

   giving the creator a credit line.

   Whoops, should’ve rephrased that. No jokes about my supposed crypto-fundamentalism, please.

   That’s about as realistic a scenario for war between the US and China as any I’ve seen from the right wing. They’ll probably adopt it any minute now.

   Matt was very good at crediting photos when he was an indy and later at the Atlantic. So it seems like there should be a good explanation for the lack of credits now that he’s at MJ.

   My guess is that Mother Jones has actually licensed reproduction rights (without the need for attribution) for the photos he’s using, and so no credits are needed. Otherwise you’re right, he needs to get on that.

   Did I say Mother Jones? Haha, I was thinking of Kevin Drum, the /other/ blogger who made a sudden venue change this summer. Sorry for the ridiculous comment.

   This is a serious problem and I think that we should start preparing countermeasures. The missile shields that will defend us against non-existing Iranian ballistic missiles bearing non-existing nuclear warheads will have to get second priority.

   As someone observed. if we will get a perfect sky shield, we will be attacked from containers born to our shores in cargo ships. Now, imagine our custom agents opening a containers and be instantly overwhelmed by the massive cuteness of pandas!

   So, we need to re-think our civil defences. On the other front, what cute weapons can we have? I read that Navy is training dolphins. Dolphins can be kind of cute. Also, seals and sorority sisters.

   Cute fighting pandas sounds like the Eddie Izzard gag about a transvestite airborne brigade. The all important element of surprise.

    Deadly preprogrammed weapons don’t get cuter than this:
