Seems I caught the attention of christian conservative columnist Marie Jon (or as she spells it, Marie Jon’) in response to my commentary about her recent column. And yes, I checked it out. It seems to be really her. You can read here full comment here, but I’ll parse it below: MARIE: I’m so sorry. I had the wrong (Neville) … Read More
Malmedy Malady
Keith Olbermann (MSNBC’s Countdown) routinely likes to poke fun at Bill O’Reilly, as we all do. But the other night, Keith went absolutely ballistic and handed O’Reilly his ass. It was a well-deserved lashing as O’Reilly was busted for twice misrepresenting historical facts, and bashing American soldiers from WWII, men who are no longer around to defend themselves. You really … Read More
Mike Adams Takes On Logic, And Loses
In his Town Hall column, UNC Professor Mike Adams provides transcripts of "conversations people actually initiated with me after seeing my copy of The Da Vinci Code". It’s hard to believe that Adams had so many conversations about The Da Vinci Code — initiated by others, as he claims. It’s even harder to believe that he could memorize those conversations … Read More
Marie Jon On Iraq
Rewew America columnist Marie Jon really shouldn’t be talking about how stupid Americans are when it comes to war: Americans have allowed themselves to be misinformed. They all too often can’t give an intelligent answer as to why they are giving up resolute to fight a war on terror. Wars are lost because of what happens right here at home. … Read More
Shorter Townhall
Shorter Mary Katherine Ham: "Moral clarity", by definition, means that we presume that the Duke lacrosse players accused of rape are innocent until proven guilty, and accused Muslim terrorists are just plain guilty. Shorter Jeff Emanuel: A judge did something I didn’t like; therefore, he is a judicial activist. Shorter Walter E. Williams: Enforcement of seatbelt laws is socialism. Yeah, … Read More
Pat Boone/Dixie Chicks Smackdown
Pat Boone is calling out the Dixie Chicks: Music legend Pat Boone is ripping into the Dixie Chicks for withdrawing their apology for a previous attack on President Bush. Music legend? Name one Pat Boone song that doesn’t suck. "I have four daughters, and I taught them to respect their elders, even if they weren’t president of the United States," … Read More
Kaye Grogan On The English Language
Kaye Grogan’s latest editorial on America’s "official" language is a hoot. Because Kaye struggles so much with English, it is ripe for parody. But Sadly, No beat me to it: Speak English . . . or else! Kaye GroganMay 20, 2006 Okay it’s official — I hope! It has taken 200 plus years for English to become America’s official language. … Read More
Who Are Christians?
Columnist Peggy Noonan is all confused about The Da Vinci Code (the movie): I do not understand the thinking of a studio that would make, for the amusement of a nation 85% to 90% of whose people identify themselves as Christian, a major movie aimed at attacking the central tenets of that faith, and insulting as poor fools its gulled … Read More
Debbie Daniel’s Civil War
Our favorite Renew America pundit, Kaye Grogan, must be on vacation or in rehab, but excitable advertising account executive Debbie Daniel is happy to fill in with breathless outrage on the subject of — what else — immigration. Her article is entitled "Load Your Guns — Let The Battle Begin", which may sound like hyperbolic rhetoric until you realize that … Read More
Six Months
Heh. NYT foreign affairs columnist Tom Friedman has six-month-itis when it comes to Iraq: New York Times, 11/30/03: "The next six months in Iraq—which will determine the prospects for democracy-building there—are the most important six months in U.S. foreign policy in a long, long time." CBS‘s Face the Nation, 10/3/04: "What we’re gonna find out, Bob, in the next six … Read More
Wanker Of The Day
I like poking fun at conservative columnists, but this guy writing about immigration takes the cake. In an article about how to deal with all the terrible undesireables, a Christian columnist at World Net Daily actually invoked Nazi Germany …favorably: [Bush] lied when he said: "Massive deportation of the people here is unrealistic – it’s just not going to work." … Read More
Nathan Tabor: There’s Got To Be No Morning-After
Having lost the primaries for NC State Senate, Nathan Tabor has a lot of time on his hands to think about all the issues that are important to him. Today, it’s womens’ health women acting like hos: Imagine going to your doctor and being offered a pill—not because you were sick, or in any danger of becoming sick. No—your friendly … Read More
Intentionally Uninformed
Renew America pundit and pro-lifer Judie Brown, on the subject of Planned Parenthood, in a column entitled "Intentionally Uninhibited": Frantically scurrying to protect its multi-million dollar birth control enterprise, Planned Parenthood has begun taking aim at pro-life forces with rapid fire rhetoric designed to frighten the uninformed. Frightening the uninformed is Judie’s job, dammit, a point she will doubtless make … Read More
“Impeach Bush!”
In case you haven’t been paying attention, that’s been the rally cry from the rightwing side of the blogosphere. Why? Because the Bush Administration reportedly has been shadowing the Minutemen (the group of private citizens monitoring the U.S.-Mexican border for illegal immigrants), and reporting information about Minutemen groups (including their locations) to the Mexican government. Michelle Malkin started the fire … Read More
Shorter Townhall Columnists
Shorter Bret Prelusky: Let’s be more adult about sex so the French can’t mock us. Shorter Dennis Prager: A war by any other name would be as sweet. Shorter Jennifer Morse: Wives need to "put out" more. Shorter Jay Homnick: When Clinton took sodas out of schools, he took my raison d’etre away.
