Light On The Horizon? [Kathryn Lopez]
Wow. Just switched to FOX and saw, on the ticker, albeit from the kitchen, "We have cure for AIDS."
Does anyone else see our Commander in Chief's fingerprints on this one? I know I do!
Rebirth of a Nation [Andy McCarthy]
Just saw Shelby Steele talking on CNN about free markets and deregulations. Very articulate, considering...
Done All The Research I Can... [Jonah Goldberg]
Sorry folks, another bleg: can anyone tell me the difference between an ungulant and a ruminant? I'm researching for a quick spot of Space: 1999 fanfic. Also, does anyone know if Barbara Olsen was still alive in this verse's 1999? Thanks. I have an important meeting from now until 5, but I'll start responding tomorrow morning...
RE: AIDS Cure [John Derbyshire]
INRE AIDS Cure: Great. Another several decades, as opposed to years, of Sully...
RE: AIDS Cure [Mark Steyn]
Also, stock up on and buy up stock in Crisco, penicillin. But at least I'm guaranteed a glut of work reviewing musical theatre.
Darn [Kathryn Lopez]
Must have been pork rind dust in my eye. Apparently a repeat read: "Insurgents launch grenades." Woops.
Finally, to keep this economy strong we must take on the challenge of entitlements. Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid are commitments of conscience — and so it is our duty to keep them permanently sound.First of all, we're all well aware that Republicans' view on "entitlements" (not social safety nets, not -- eek! -- welfare, but entitlements) is that their challenge is to eliminate them entirely without pissing off too many Americans, right? Good, now that that's out of the way: notice how he refers to these programs as "commitments of conscience"? The man's speechwriters are about as subtle as gakked out tranny hookers bawling and balling up and down Polk Street. Get it right, fellow Americans. These programs are not examples of our all of us, rich and poor, pulling together to level the playing field for everyone. These are crumbs brushed off of robber barons' tables -- offhanded noblesse oblige. And don't you dare criticize the way the ruling class (multimillionaires like Bush and Cheney among them) disseminate their crumbs, or else...
"...a judge will never be in the best position to know what is in the national security interests of our country.”
Tony Snow called the senator's question to Rice a "great leap backward for feminism." And Tony nailed it... Feminists like Barbara Boxer want it both ways. They want abortion rights, they want women to have access to the workplace, but if the woman takes that freedom, does not marry, does not have children, evidently Boxer thinks that woman is unqualified to use her education, experience and judgment in her career. Now, according to Boxer, that woman has to have children to have her career.No, Snow hasn't nailed anything. He probably hasn't even nailed a woman since any initial, furtive, half-tumescent adolescent attempts at appearing heterosexual.
"Who pays the price [for the war]?" Boxer asked during the hearing. "I'm not going to pay a personal price. My kids are too old and my grandchild is too young."Well, okay, that can be ignored inasmuch as it is a point that while valid, can be and has been made of every Republican Iraq War Booster currently in office.
...
"You're not going to pay a particular price, as I understand it, with an immediate family. So who pays the price? The American military and their families."
"Great leap backward for feminism..."While I don't impugn the appreciation Our Dear Deciderer and his minions have for all sorts of great leaps, what would a bunch of reactionary, pack of dog-like, frat boy-loving, towel-snapping, rich, mostly white, fake good ole boys know about feminism? Just what the fuck is this statement supposed to mean? That Boxer (whatever her faults a true feminist) knows less than they do about being treated like a second-class minority despite her gender's comprising approximately half the population? Or is it more sinister and proprietary, an implied, "Now don't get too out of line, little missy, or I'll have to take off this here belt," thereby rescinding all those rights and privileges that were theirs to dole out anyway?
" 'As you know, there are more people waiting for me to pull this trigger than there are waiting on my return to the states,' " Crutchfield wrote in a portion of the message intended for his mother.
" 'I'm done hurting. All my life I've been hurting ... end this pain, ' Crutchfield wrote at the end of his two-page message."
Dear MSNBC,
I am shocked at the low calibre of "journalists" you
see fit to hire. Tucker Carlson is nothing but a
bully! My friend Chuck, who lives in the DC area
happened to blog about a sighting he had of Mr.
Carlson; Mr. Carlson, in his infinite vanity and
arrogance, was apparently googling his own name to
death when he came across the blog entry. Next thing
you know, Mr. Carlson is coming to my friend's place
of work to threaten him! My friend, to his credit,
chose to remove the blog entry. But it was too late;
yesterday, when Chuck came to work, he found that he
had been fired because Mr. Carlson had threatened a
lawsuit -- fired from a *minimum-wage job*, without
which he might not be able to get by.
And to add insult to injury, someone claiming to be
Carlson's legal representation showed up at Chuck's
former place of work to harass his former coworkers
for personal information about my friend.
I understand that this all took place outside of
Carlson's working day, but Mr. Carlson's behavior was
nevertheless outrageously bullying and is a very poor
reflection on his public figure, and by extension,
MSNBC's image. My friend Chuck in no way threatened
or libeled Mr. Carlson, but even if he had, there are
more productive avenues to recourse than threatening
"I'll fucking destroy you!" and using your massive
clout as a media celebrity to get a video clerk fired.
I hope someone can at least have a word with Mr.
Carlson about his disgusting behavior.
Thanks for your attention, from your sometime viewer,
[teh l4m3]
