If any of you have sent me a recent email (in the last three or four days) and were expecting a response and got none, I may not have received your email. There’s been a server switch, and the spammers haven’t caught up on the DNS yet, so I’m thinking some other emails may not have, either.

Or not. Maybe I’m just not getting much mail.

The AP actually changed its boilerplate to the truth for a change. Look what I found in a tongue-bath for Al-Manar, a.k.a. Hezbullah TV:

During the conflict, which began July 12 after Hezbollah killed three Israeli soldiers and captured two in a cross-border raid, the station routinely aired reports on guerrilla rockets strikes on northern Israel and ground battles with Israeli troops.

Wow. They usually completely omit the part about the three soldiers who were killed.

But then, of course, you read a little further and you find the usual crappy editing job by AP. Here’s a hint, schmucks: The Protocols are forgeries.

He said contingency plans to face such a situation were made several years ago, after the U.S. decision in December 2004 to place the station on its list of terror organizations. Earlier that year, the station was blocked from satellite programming in Australia and had to struggle with France to keep it from taking similar measures after its transmission of an anti-Semitic miniseries was denounced by Jewish lobby groups.

The series - “Al-Shatat,” Arabic for “The Diaspora” - was based on “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” - the 20th century anti-Semitic text purporting to describe a plan to achieve Jewish global domination - and depicted among other scenes the killing of a Christian child on the orders of a rabbi so the child’s blood could be added to matzos for Passover.

And of course, what tally would be complete without the “they won simply by surviving” meme?

Regardless of who won on the battlefield, employees at Al-Manar are confident they have won having survived the war.

I suppose that means the South really won the Civil War, then. It’s still here.
