Okay, so, Rush had Viagra in his bag and his doctor didn’t prescribe it in his name because if you’re Rush Limbaugh (or Bill Clinton or whomever) and you know you have a gazillion childish guns pointed at you – at all times – you’d rather not have some pharmacist blab in some internet forum that you’re using Viagra, or herpes medicine or genital wart salves or whatever. Perfectly understandable. Sadly, now we’ll be treated to a few days of... Read more
A few things I have be meaning to show you: Neo-Neocon’s fun and charming post on mondegreens, a subject upon which Vanderleun is also writing. HangRight Politics has unveiled their new Cut-and-run-Meter – creating a handy one-stop reference for you. Flopping Aces finds evidence that Democrat outrage is all for show. Gasp. We’ve always known it, but now it’s pretty much out there and admitted. Did he just say what I thought he did? I mean, I thought the whole... Read more
:::Scroll down for updates::: Lately, I find that when the blogs are swarming on an issue there are enough writers writing well on an issue – for example, the issue of Bill Keller and the NY Times’ perfidy – that I don’t really need to throw my less-impressive pearls out into the ‘sphere. I do like Glenn Reynolds’ response to Keller’s most childish and specious statement. Keller wrote – unbelievably – Some of the incoming mail quotes the angry words... Read more
Related: Keller is well-pummeled, you don’t need me. UPDATE: Do not miss Dr. Sanity’s roundup which includes a link to this Jack Kelly piece on how Time Magazine spikes stories that are “too heroic.” Yes, it’s relevant. Also, give a read over at at The Scratching Post – CTCat is a marketer who is wondering if perhaps the NY Times IS deliberately trying to provoke the WH into making charges against them: I suggest that the NYT is hoping, praying,...

It brings us this headline: Earth warmest in at least 400 years, panel finds Which begs the question…if we weren’t driving cars and flying planes and otherwise polluting the earth…why was the earth so freaking hot 400 years ago? How about, Global Warming is Junk Science exploiting on the fact that the earth naturally warms and cools…and that Global Warming is being given the big hysteria-push these days because it is going to be used as a means to an...

A great story about innocent joy, persistance and hard work. Gabriel Whitney says he did not plan to nearly suffocate President Bush in a bear hug. In fact, he did not plan to hug him at all. […] With more reason than most to be overjoyed, the 6-foot-7 midshipman stepped onto the stage to accept his degree and hugged Vice Adm. Joseph D. Stewart, the academy’s superintendent. Then he raised both arms in a victorious salute as his classmates roared... Read more
Since yesterday I brought you a kind of weird commercial, today I figured I’d give you a great one, like this terrific Volkswagon commercial. I’ve always been a sucker for Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire! I heard a great VW commercial on the radio today, too…the announcer is talking about German engineering and the ego-emission free VW cars, and decided that these german engineers must be aliens…he goes up to one and say, “excuse me are you an alien?” You...

My computer is acting up today, to the point where I just want to find a rifle and blow a hole through the thing…or find a katana and slice it to bits…so I’ll offer you a few tasty bites to chew on as I go out and find a weapon! Europeans Support Bush on Nuclear Stance”. I’m surprised the headline hasn’t yet been changed. Alexandra at All Things Beautiful has a provocative piece up (but then she is always fearless...

Getting back to this subject, there are plenty of people living and working here whose green cards or visas expired and who, encountering the quite broken INS, made the choice that to rip their established lives to shreds (particularly if they had children) in order to obey a corrupt and ineffective, floundering bureaucracy have made an understandable choice. “Illegal is illegal” might sound good, but it does not acknowledge the fact that our INS is irretrievably broken and unwilling or...

Big Lizard has an important post up this morning regarding just what nightmarish hoops “legal” immigrants must jump through to get citizenship (if they manage) via our quite broken INS system. He writes: Maybe people really don’t know; here are the two examples closest to me: Sachi My wife was a legal immigrant; she jumped through all the hoops, did everything by the book. She got a green card; she went through the whole citizenship procedure, satisfying every requirement save... Read more
