RIP, finally. UPDATE: The response from the right-wing blogosphere — full of death poems and scripture, not to mention wailing and gnashing of teeth — was a little TOO predictable, don’t you think? UPDATE #2: I take that back. I was just home for lunch and caught about 20 minutes of the cable news networks. Man, do they want this … Read More
Pat Sajak – C_ns_rv_t_v_ D_ck?
Pat Sajak has a blog. It has many pictures of him putting his hand on his chin in a thoughtful pose. Or sitting on a tall stool, putting his hand on his chin, in a thoughtful pose. In Pat’s blog, he writes: Arguing with Liberals, and Why I’ve Stopped Every time I argue with a Liberal, I’m reminded of quarrels … Read More
Little Lulu: Dishonest or Stupid?
Here’s Michelle Malkin in her latest crybaby post: Update: Some bioethicists are now arguing that Terri is not a human being: Wesley Smith: Bill, do you think Terri is a person? Bill Allen [a bioethicist]: No, I do not. I think having awareness is an essential criterion for personhood. Even minimal awareness would support some criterion of personhood, but I … Read More
Michelle Malkin – Beyond Stupid
Hardly a day goes by when Michelle "Little Lulu" Malkin doesn’t write something incredibly duplicitious or illogical. Yesterday was no exception: One of the pro-abortion Left’s favorite attacks on people of faith is that we only care about children before they’re born and not afterwards. Hint to Malkin: linking to a Google search (search=anti-abortion+only+care+about+children+before+they+are+born) is pretty lame to begin with, … Read More
A Rant Against Idiocy
PZ Myers has had it up to here with the morons on the religious right who continue to — well, lie — about evolution out of either (a) intentional ignorance or (b) cognitive dissonence: I know what some people are thinking: just don’t call them "stupid" or a "moron", it distracts from the scientific argument. Of course it does; but … Read More
South Determined To Stay Ignorant
This really takes the cake. Showing of an IMAX volcano film is being denied by IMAX theaters in the South because it suggests that observable similarities occur between the DNA of species Buzzelli said while the Charleston theater doesn’t rule out showing "Volcanoes of the Deep Sea" in the future, she considers people’s religious views when showing films. The film … Read More
Schiavo Protesters
Look at the picture on the left of people opposed to the Schiavo tube removal. This is the kind of protest that, if done by the liberals, would have the right wingers rolling in the aisles, making fun. But I think it is a perfectly fine protest — after all, they got their pictures taken, which means they got their … Read More
O’Reilly Makes Shit Up
Bill O’Reilly on the March 15 edition of Westwood One’s The Radio Factor: O’REILLY: You know, the Founding Fathers didn’t write anything into the Constitution about gay marriage. Because back then, if you were gay, they hung you. So — you couldn’t get married ’cause they put you in the rack. You know, if you were runnin’ around wearing a … Read More
Little Lulu Bent Out Of Shape
I understand that I am not a conservative, so my brain is wired a little differently. But I consider myself a reasonably intelligent person with the ability to understand different points of view, even if I don’t necessarily agree with them. Still, I have to admit that many of Michelle Malkin’s outrages simply stump me. Take this, for instance: This … Read More
Kaye Grogan Outdoes Herself
Kaye Grogan (pictured here) is just plain sassy and scary. A regular columnist for Alan Keye’s Renew America website, her opinion pieces are routinely and savagely lampooned at World O’Crap and Sadly, No. Although, to be frank, her opinion pieces hardly need any satirization — they are unintentionally hysterical to begin with. Take this recent column of Grogan’s on the … Read More
Winger Blogs Get It Wrong
Typical right-winger blog analysis: The brutal murder of a family of Coptic Christians in Jersey City, New Jersey may have been carried out by Muslim fanatics in retaliation for the expression of "anti-Muslim" views on the internet…. As we’ve said many times before, these fanatics cannot be reasoned with or deterred. They can only be hunted down and killed, and … Read More
On Clicking The Link
Kevin Drum does gives a beautiful example of how the rightwing blogosphere likes to be, uh, less than truthful in their reporting. Oh, they have links to back up what they say . . . except for the fact that . . . . well, I’ll let Kevin Drum explain: Here is why you should always click the link. Today, … Read More
Hypocrisy of the Right – Part II
Eason Jordon believed that U.S. soldiers were targetting journalists. Ann "It’s Time for the New McCarthyism" Coulter wants U.S. soldiers to target journalists. Eason Jordon’s statement is made in a closed-door symposium with relatively few listeners. He retracts it almost immediately. Ann Coulter’s statement was made on national television to untold millions of listeners. She never retracts it. Eason Jordon … Read More
No Empirical Reality
Paid-off pundits to fake newsmen — where does it end? Frank Rich says it goes deeper: When the Bush administration isn’t using taxpayers’ money to buy its own fake news, it does everything it can to shut out and pillory real reporters who might tell Americans what is happening in what is, at least in theory, their own government. Paul … Read More
A Guy With A Conscience
The guy who started the ball rolling on Eason Jordon is apparently having second thoughts: Mr. Abovitz, who started it all, said he hoped bloggers could develop loftier goals than destroying people’s careers. "If you’re going to do this open-source journalism, it should have a higher purpose," he said. "At times it did seem like an angry mob, and an … Read More
