It’s only cheating if you get caught, right?

 I find it deeply curious that after no less than two wide-open fundraising scandals, the Democrats’ political machine trundles on unimpeded, kind of like a steamroller over a slow pedestrian. “What bump?!” First we have: Hsu raised big money for Clinton supporters And then: As Campaigns Chafe at Limits, Donors Might Be in Diapers Now [...]

Rational thinkers…and then Christians

What I find interesting in the increasingly vocal debates centering around atheism, the spurious church-n-state thing, and the apparently “growing” influence of a cabal of Christian “Dominionists” over all things secular in this country (?!?!) is the continued distinction the atheist set seeks to make between “rational thinkers” or “free thinkers,” and those who believe [...]

Ann Coulter and Perfected Jews

Perhaps you’ve heard about the big hullaballo wherein Ann Coulter is being flambe’d in liberal circles for have the insulting audacity to suggest that Jews needed to be perfected.  {{insert Obligatory Shocked Gasp}}.  Now, as a stand up comedienne, and as an ascerbic and bombastic editorialist, Ann Coulter is all that and more.  As an [...]

A few questions for my Muslim friends out there

Why did you take the job at the supermarket if you knew that you’d be asked to handle pork, alcohol and tobacco products? Why did you decide to become a cab driver if you weren’t going to take fares from people who smoke, or drink, or have dogs, or have a juicy ham sandwich in [...]

Like Peas in a Pod

Birds of a feather, etc… Fidel Castro Calls Hugo Chavez During Venezuelan Broadcast “Long-time listener, first-time caller.” “I am very touched when you sing about Che,” Castro told Chavez during his call to Chavez’s “Alo, Presidente!” program — referring to revolutionary icon Ernesto “Che” Guevara, to whom the program was dedicated. From one murderous dictator [...]

Nobel Peace Prizes – Also available in boxes of CrackerJacks.

Okay, so me, being the easily confused sort of individual that I am, I’m having a bit of a hard time figuring out how you get awarded the Nobel Peace for a PricePrize for “raising awareness about the grim, awful, terrible, inevitable, crushing, life-destroying, people-caused specter of global warming,” not too long after your “acclaimed [...]

Bring me a Sebring!!

Me like. Me want.  In my travels I’ve had occasion to rent many different types of cars.  I even once had the (mis)fortune of getting a PT Cruiser.  Hated it.  Chick car.  Uncomfortable.  No room.  Bad layout. But then.  Oh, dear sweet lordy but THEN! This trip I got a Chrystler Sebring. The Limited Edition [...]

On a related note…

I find it interesting that not once in this AP article: Austrian Man Shoots Colleague, Slices off Penis in ‘Honor Killing’ …are the words “Islamic” or “Muslim” mentioned.  Instead, honor killings are said to be: an ancient tradition associated with Kurdish regions of Turkey, Iraq and Iran as well as tribal areas in Pakistan and some [...]

From the “How Do I Take These People Seriously?” Dept.

Muslim Leaders Warn Pope ‘Survival of World’ at Stake The “survival of the world” is at stake if Muslims and Christians do not make peace with each other, leaders of the Muslim world will warn the Pope and other Christian leaders (my emphasis) today. Okay.  Uh, let me get this straight.  A MUSLIM is warning [...]

This is madness! This is SPARTAAAAA!

Just so we’re clear, charging people an additional $0.50 per GALLON of gas as an “incentive” to conserve gas and thus help fight against global warming is akin to the same sort of bullshit that had people dumping bales of tea in Boston Harbor 200 some-odd years ago.  That’s an extra 10$ on every 20-gallon tank of gas we’re already [...]
