TGIF

What a week.

Third time lucky, eh? Yes, the Iraqis voted again this week, 80% turnout! That beats the last vote by residents of my block of flats! What an achievement.

Normblog has won best UK blog for 2005. Michael Yon has won best media/journalist blog for 2005. Fabulous.

And the US Democratic party is going down the tubes, too funny!

From Hugh Hewitt's radio programme interview with Mark Steyn yesterday, read the whole transcript here:

"HH: Mark Steyn, your reaction to Congressman Murtha's remarks yesterday? "

"MS: Well, If I was the Republican Party, I'd be praying they keep that guy on TV every minute of the day...the fact of the matter is now, the so-called insurgency, the so-called holdouts against Iraqi democracy, come down to basically these buffoons from the Democratic Party...shame on them, because they have nothing constructive to offer...these buffoons from the Democratic Party, and Zarqawi and his suicide bomber goons. Zarqawi and his idiots, his death cult idiots, are walking the walk. And this ridiculous fellow Murtha is talking the talk."

That would be Zarqawi who's from Jordan, not Iraq, I'm just saying...
