Worthy of Note

Some really good stuff on the Web this AM. I won't try to do them justice by adding my two cents, but if you have a moment:

Black-Hole Speech -Jonah Goldberg On the absurdity of being offended over nothing.

It's Not Easy Being Hard Charles Krauthammer On soft versus "Hard power". Hard power freed the hostages in Columbia.
Between Obama v. McCain - Which do you think would advocate "hard power"?

And finally a hilarious take on a possible Al Qaeda corporate newletter (hat tip to Michelle Malkin) over at Iowahawk -The "Q" is for "Quality".. "

While team health benefits will be scaled back, we will be offsetting these changes with enhancements to associate retirement plans. For example, I am pleased to announce an exciting new 90-virgin paradise pension package, representing a 25% increase in virgins over our previous plan. Please see your local imam for details.

Enjoy!
