S.Z. at World O’ Crap does all the research and work; I just steal. Largely due to The Passion of the Christ, as well as his macho movies that distort history (The Patriot, When We Were Soldiers), Mel became the darling of the right-wing, including a grassroots push to have him be President. S.Z. now takes a look at the … Read More
The Ugly Christian
If Ann Coulter is "an extraordinarily good Christian", then I hope nobody every calls me a Christian. I just don’t want to be in the same league as her. Read this vile interview (on a religious website) in which she is just plain mean and rude and self-righteous, not only on the subject matter being discussed, but to the interviewer.
Inside The Pod’s Mind
Die-hard conservatives are absolutely blown away with praise for Oliver Stone’s new movie "World Trade Center", which tells the true story of two NYC policemen trapped in the rubble of WTC on 9/11. Cal Thomas, for example, calls it one of the great Hollywood movies of all time, writing: Whatever one thinks of Oliver Stone, the man knows how to … Read More
Taxi Drivers Strike Again
It always amuses me how conservative pundit often invoke their personal conversations with taxi drivers as support for their positions. You know, as in . . . "I was talking to a taxi driver the other day, and he told me that he thinks that Iraq must have had weapons of mass destruction, and they are now in Syria." Therefore … Read More
Kaye Grogan Sez You’re A Loser
Kaye Grogan written a column for a few weeks. Presumably, she was on vacation, or in detox. Apparently, whatever it was, it didn’t take. You know that any column that ends with "And by the way . . . you’re the real losers — so get in the long line" was written by a very pissed-off columnist. There are some … Read More
Nathan Tabor: “Brits See U.S. As Vulgar?”
Nathan Tabor don’t like them redcoats: This past week we celebrated America’s independence, I was struck by this item that crossed the electronic news site of record, the Drudge Report: Britons See U.S. as Vulgar Empire Builder. Ladies and gentleman, this is what Nathon calls the "news site of record". If you had any doubts whether the War of Independence … Read More
Vitriol Aside…
Ann Coulter: NY POST: Vitriol aside for a moment, how would you define a liberal, politically speaking? ANN: Naive, misinformed fanatical Mother Earth-worshipers and fervent America-haters — and those are their good traits. RELATED: Angered by allegations of plagiarism directed against her, Ann Coulter calls the New York Post a "tabloid" which, you know, it is.
The Big Protest
Michelle Malkin organized a huge protest in front of the New York Times building on the Fourth of July. The purpose was to express outrage at the Time’s "leaking" of "classified information", thus jeopardizing the lives of Americans blah blah blah. 16 people, not including the organizers and journalists, showed up. Apparently, the New York Times is still in business. … Read More
The Winger Response To Hamdan
Entirely predictable. They’re getting all outraged and pulling the "activist judges" crap. Here, for example, is the editorial at NRO: As yesterday’s decision again demonstrates, this Court would rather impose its preferences on us than simply follow the law. We should find this unacceptable in any case. But when the consequences of the Court’s arrogance rise to the level of … Read More
Mark Levin Is A Moron
Publius beat me to it. I was going to post the exact same thing: Mark Levin, NRO: Congress and the Court are systematically stripping the presidency of war-making powers. Congress demands that the president get court approval before intercepting enemy communications (we call that intelligence gathering) and the Court demands that the president get statutory support from Congress before he … Read More
Viagraholics Anonymous
The organization sends an open letter to Rush Limbaugh (and it’s not a joke — they’re being sincere): To Our Fellow Viagraholic: We feel your pain. We’ve been there, and we too have suffered the humiliation and shame of having our lives torn apart by Viagra abuse. Rush, it doesn’t have to be this way. We at Viagraholics Anonymous are … Read More
Flag Amendment Fails
Burn ’em if you got ’em. Meanwhile, there’s delusions at the Corner. John Podheretz to fellow Cornerite Jonah Goldberg: Jonah, I also oppose the flag-burning amendment. But as a strictly Machiavellian matter, as a sheerly political stunt, you have to admit that it’s one of those peculiar gifts that keeps on giving. Republicans can bring it up every few years … Read More
Rush’s Drug Problems Continue, And People Like Me Giggle Like Schoolchildren
Schaudenfraude: A Customs inspector going through the baggage of conservative radio show host Rush Limbaugh on Monday afternoon found 29 small blue tablets — a supply of the impotence drug Viagra. Trouble is, the name on the bottle wasn’t Limbaugh. ”Limbaugh said it was for his own personal use and that the name on it was his doctor’s,” said Sgt. … Read More
Can’t Believe This Guy Is A Law Professor
Glenn "Instapundit" Reynolds, on the issue of the New York Times leaking news that the government is monitoring bank transactions: The founders gave freedom of the press to the people, they didn’t give freedom to the press. [NYT Editor] Keller positions himself as some sort of Constitutional High Priest, when in fact the "freedom of the press" the Framers described … Read More
Babel Babble
Let’s see — what’s up with the usual gaggle of wingnuts today? Nathan Tabor is writing non-sensical (and therefore mock-proof) columns, apparently giving the old college try at this thing called "humor". Since we want no part of that, we turn our attention to Marie Jon Apostrophe, since she’s undoubtedly going to send her latest column to me by email … Read More
