Boy, what a weekend! Thanks to Charles Pierce at TAPPED, TomPaine.com, Matthew Yglesias, Ezra Klein, Shakespeare’s Sister, Firedoglake, Liberal Talk Radio, Waffle Ass, Justin Raimondo, Bushflash.com, History News Network, PHXnews, Jack Lail, everyone I thanked last time, and everyone I’ve missed. I’m slowly getting the blog page put together, as you can see; there are now links to the RSS feed and to my ActBlue page, where you can show some worthy candidates some folding green love.

I put up a YouTube version of part I:

I intend to post the YouTube version of each segment about a week after the Flash version, so feel free to watch it over there if that’s the way you roll. Share it around if you like, and tell folks where you got it.

Some short points:

• Yes, the sound quality sucks. All the JPEGs make each segment much larger than most Flash movies of equivalent size, so I’ve had to squeeze the audio down pretty aggressively to make the thing practical to stream (and affordable for me to serve). The sound quality in the YouTube version is a bit better, but don’t expect miracles.
• Justin Raimondo of antiwar.com wonders why Robert Novak, who opposed the invasion of Iraq, is shown briefly during the overview montage at the beginning of Part I. The reason for Novak’s inclusion in the montage will be made clear in Part III, which I’ll be posting this Thursday.
• A few commenters felt that the title of the documentary is somewhat disrespectful to the 101st Airborne Division, which President Eisenhower sent to desegregate Little Rock Central High School in 1957 and is home to some of the baddest soldiers the United States Army has to offer. The term “101st Fighting Keyboarders” was coined by TBogg in this post and is in widespread use among liberal blogs as a derisive term for chest-beating warbloggers who can’t actually be bothered to do any fighting themselves. The term is used ironically and no disrespect is intended (although, in a turn of events I couldn’t possibly make up, it has lately been appropriated by conservative blogger “Captain” Ed Morrissey as an appellation to wear with pride. If that seems disrespectful, consider discussing it with him over there).
• Coming in at number 4 on the list of the hosts accessing the site most frequently on Thursday: the U.S. House of Representatives. Hi guys! Good luck next month!
• Heh! Indeed. From Glenn “Instapundit” Reynolds’ hometown newspaper, the Knoxville News Sentinel.
• My fantasy football team is all alone at the top of its league. That has nothing to do with anything here; I just think it’s pretty awesome.
