The O’Rage Factor
Filed Under Uncategorized | |
Let’s take a short break from the seriousness of the issues of the day to watch Bill O’Reilly go nuts after the teleprompter doesn’t properly work back in the days he hosted “Inside Edition.”
It sort of reminds me of the SNL skit years back when the prompter broke down while some morning show anchors were live on the air, and the ensuing confusion and panic led to a scene worthy of Lord of the Flies — except with no spin.
Eat your heart out, Casey Kasem:

Monday’s Column: A Sneak Preview of Oliver Stone’s New Bush Movie
Filed Under Current Events, Politics | |
Filming has begun on Oliver Stone’s new project on the life of George W. Bush. The movie is going to be called “W”.
What can we expect the movie to contain? All I can say is that it should be interesting, in an “Animal House” meets “Dr. Strangelove” meets “All the President’s Men” kind of way.
Give a read to “Dissing W” (don’t blame me, sometimes they decide that the title I submitted just wasn’t lame enough) for the whole story.

Help Planned Parenthood Achieve Their Dream of Mother’s Day With Fewer Mothers
Filed Under Current Events, Politics | |
There’s a very special Mother’s Day message from the leader of Planned Parenthood at the PP website. Cecile Richards (Ann Richards’ daughter) would like you to send a Mother’s Day gift to Planned Parenthood:
So, please, make a special Mother’s Day gift to Planned Parenthood Federation of America — in memory of Ann Richards and on behalf of all the mothers, children, and families we help every day.
Wow, Planned Parenthood passing the hat for a contribution on Mother’s Day is a little like watching The Pontius Pilate Foundation asking for doations of hammers and nails on Good Friday.
Planned Parenthood’s madness aside, a happy Mother’s Day to all the moms who check in here from time to time!

Obama Needs a Secretary of States
Filed Under Current Events, Politics | |
Obama: I’ve visited 57 states, not counting Alaska and Hawaii.
If Bush said something like this during one of his campaigns it’d be mocked on the front page of many newspapers as proof of his dumbitude. If McCain said that, it’d be evidence of senility. But for Obama the media will chalk it up to fatigue.

What will it be like when Hillary is finally convinced it’s over? Somebody has done a fine job of predicting what that moment will be like, and I sure don’t want to be in the room when it comes to fruition in real life.
Warning — extreme language in the transcription, but if that doesn’t bother you much it’s awfully funny:

King of the Insults
Filed Under Current Events, Politics | |
Stephen King has responded to “right wing” critics of his comments a few weeks ago that if you can’t read, pretty much your only career option is to join the Army and go to Iraq.
King claimed that his critics misunderstood what he was saying, and he explained what he really meant by calling people who join the Army illiterate… again:
“That a right-wing blog would impugn my patriotism because I said children should learn to read, and could get better jobs by doing so, is beneath contempt. I live in a National Guard town, and I support our troops, but I don’t support either the war or educational policies that limit the options of young men and women to any one career — military or otherwise.”
Nice explanation. “I didn’t say that illiterate people join the Army… there are a few other low-level jobs they can also do…”
Don’t you love the left’s version of “support the troops”?
“I support the troops. I just don’t support their guns and bombs.”
I’m reminded of a local guy I hear on the radio from time to time who is a very vocal opponent of the Iraq war and thinks we have no business being there, but whenever somebody calls who is serving or has served in Iraq, the host thanks them profusely for their service. What?

‘Double, Double Toil and Trouble; Fire Burn, and Cauldron Bubble… There, is the War Over Now?’
Filed Under Current Events, Politics, War | |
Code Pink is now resorting to witchcraft to beef up the number of its supporters protesting Berkeley’s controversial Marine Corps Recruiting Center.
The women’s anti-war group has told ralliers to come equipped with spells and pointy hats Friday for “Witches, clowns and sirens day,” the last of the group’s weeklong homage to Mother’s Day.
“Women are coming to cast spells and do rituals and to impart wisdom to figure out how we’re going to end war,” Zanne Sam Joi of Bay Area Code Pink told FOXNews.com.
Fox News has even set up a 24-hour protest cam in front of the Marine recruitment center so you can see these fools in all their witchy, undignified glory. As of 3:45 a.m. San Francisco time, it looks like the Code Pink women are all still sleeping… many of them with each other no doubt.

First Look at Oliver Stone’s ‘W’
Filed Under Current Events, Politics | |
This Bush flick is going to be incredabulously funny — in a melodramaculous and unbiasable way that only Oliver Stone can present.

This is the typical large American university, where free thought and the symbolism thereof is encouraged — unless it falls out of line with rabid liberal intolerance of other opinions.
If you’re pro-life, this guy has a cross to pick with you:
“Constitutional right to an abortion”? Yep, it’s right there in the Bill of Rights:
…nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.
I guess the left considers the Roe v. Wade ruling to be “due process.” After all, why worry about depriving a single human being of their rights when you can just do it in bulk?
The Supreme Court said abortion is a right, so this guy’s all for it. I wonder how he would have felt about people making the same argument about the Dred Scott decision.

This is No Boating Accident!

The following Guardian story has been added to the ridiculous laundry list of things that cause global warming:
Surge in fatal shark attacks blamed on global warming
I get it… the greenhouse effect caused by your SUV and gas-powered leaf blower makes the water warmer, which makes sharks grumpy and in need of a refreshing appetizer. Humans, seeking relief from the hot air, go swimming in waters full of hot, hungry, grumpy sharks… okay, I think I see where they’re going. Sounds plausible.
