SAVE THE PLANET — DRIVE A HYBRID: Er, except when it’s air-freighted to you from Japan. “The Lexus LS600H, which costs £84,000, was a gift from Lexus to the 65-year-old former Beatle, who helped promote the hybrid vehicle. But instead of arriving by boat as expected, the car was flown to Britain on a Korean Air flight, creating a carbon footprint almost 100 times bigger than if it had come by sea.”

So much for driving “guilt-free.”

WEST VIRGINIA CALLED FOR HILLARY: By a large though not yet declared margin.

STEPHEN GREEN IS DRUNKBLOGGING WEST VIRGINIA. The primary, not the whole state. Though for him, that wouldn’t be an insuperable challenge, probably.

UPDATE: Mark Murray, Why West Virginia Matters.

MORE ON THE MOVE: Ralph Luker emails: “Do those of us who keep you on our blogroll need to change the link to the pj site?” Nope. You can if you want, but Instapundit.com continues to point here.

Meanwhile, if you visit the main Pajamas Media page you’ll see a helpful scrolling list of InstaPundit headlines. We’ll be doing some other cool stuff too, including a piece by me on Robert Heinlein and libertarianism. But for those who sent worried email, relax: InstaPundit will stay InstaPundit.

BOB BARR: Why I want to be President. Or at least, why he’s running.

UPDATE: He may have a few flipflop problems: “McCain voted against the prescription-drug entitlement in 2003. Barr voted for it. And by the way, Barr, who is now running on an anti-war platform, voted to authorize military force against Iraq.” He’s just grown in office. Or out of it!

ANOTHER UPDATE: A modest correction: “Clark Stooksbury points out that Barr had left Congress before the bill passed in 2003. That’s correct. But Barr was still in Congress in 2002, and he voted for the idea then. (I phrased the post a bit clumsily, so it sounded as though I were claiming that Barr had voted for the bill in 2003.)”

THEY TOLD ME THAT IF GEORGE W. BUSH WERE RE-ELECTED, people who spoke out on civil rights would be fired, even from university jobs. And they were right!

THE MOVE: James Joyner emails: “Congrats on the PJM move. I must admit, though, to wondering what you get out of it.” Well, nothing will really change — I’m just shifting to PJ’s servers for obscure but important ad-sales reasons, etc. This was actually my original deal when I signed up with them, it’s just been put off for one reason or another. Let me stress that I have zero complaints about HostingMatters, who hosted me for years with terrific service. They’ll continue hosting some other stuff of mine — including a new GlennReynolds.com site as soon as I get it put together — into the future. And except for a few minor bugs in the moving process, you should see no change in InstaPundit.

GOOD NEWS: Marine Corps meets 142 percent of recruiting goal. “The Marine Corps far surpassed its recruiting goal last month and could eventually be more than a year ahead of schedule in its plan to grow the force to 202,000 members. All military services met or exceeded their monthly recruiting goals in April, with the Marine Corps signing 142 percent of the number it was looking for, the Pentagon said.”

The story does its best to spin this as bad news about the slowing economy — but if that’s all it is, why is the combat-oriented Marine Corps doing the best of all the services? (Via TigerHawk, who has some thoughts).

UPDATE: Reader Alex del Castillo emails: “Because, thank god (or whatever), this country still produces people who really believe in *personal* sacrifice for something greater than themselves. One reason liberal commentators are so amazed at this type of thing is that such personal motivation sails pretty close to the whole family values/religion thing, which they like to conflate with Falwell, polygamists and other bad extremes of the Christian right for politcal reasons. Fact is, while the there are no atheists in foxholes, there are an awful lot of agnostics.”

HMM: “There are lots of methodologies and modes of thought that are widely acceptable within at least some circles of academia, but would strike an uninitiated outside observer as nonsensical, academically dishonest, or otherwise discreditable.”

BECAUSE THINGS DON’T SUCK ENOUGH ON THEIR OWN: Fake malaria drugs:

Until recently, fake malaria drugs have been a problem largely confined to Southeast Asia, where a sampling two years ago found 53 percent of the drugs substandard, and drug experts said Asia was facing “an epidemic of counterfeits.” . . . A study released last week suggests that the epidemic is spreading to Africa, where the malaria burden is even greater, and the regulatory agencies are even weaker. Tests on 195 packs of malaria drugs bought at private pharmacies found that 35 percent either did not contain enough active ingredient or did not dissolve quickly enough to work.

Find the perpetrators and shoot ’em up with the nastiest strain you can find. And limit them to their own medications . . . .
