Something to Keep You Up at Night, Vol. 2


Either they used top notch Skywalker Ranch special FX to make all this stuff come out of Cheney’s mouth or, oh, why even bother finishing this sentence.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye, 1942-2007

The Bible says ‘Judge not lest ye be judged.’ Our lives are supposed to be hospitals, not courtrooms. Religious people today are courts and juries. When it comes down to it, Jesus died on the cross so that we could learn to love others like we love ourselves, not judge them or persecute them.

Can ‘t help but have a soft spot for this woman, even though she was an active part of the whole ‘gouge people for Jesus’ movement in the 80s. Those diva-like caked-on lashes are a deep-seated childhood memory that I treasure more than loathe. In the end, she proved to be much less of an evil force than someone like Falwell or Robertson. And she got to outlive Falwell! There’s some consolation in that, don’t you think?

I had not heard about this. I am kind of on an NPR diet. NPR makes me weep in the car on the way to work so I had to stop a little. BUT HERE, OBSERVE:

Hey Dumbass, We Can See You

Mayor touts L.A.’s climate plan, then jumps in SUV.

That is all. No photos. No clever bloggish banter. Just: what an idiot. What, you think we no hab eyes?

Bill O’Reilly Can Suck It


Next to being a simpleton that doesn’t know the difference between a loofah and a falafel, Bill O’Reilly is just plain WRONG. Earlier last year BOR stated that only “stoned” “dopey college kids” watch the Daily Show. He wrong! You read!

Pew judged the levels of knowledgeability (correct answers) among those surveyed and found that those who scored the highest were regular watchers of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show and Colbert Report. They tied with regular readers of major newspapers in the top spot — with 54% of them getting 2 out of 3 questions correct. Watchers of the Lehrer News Hour on PBS followed just behind.

Virtually bringing up the rear were regular watchers of Fox News. Only 1 in 3 could answer 2 out of 3 questions correctly. Fox topped only network morning show viewers.

Join me in shouting the words SUCK IT O’REILLY!!!! out the window. The truthiness of the matter is, if it weren’t for the Daily Show, I wouldn’t be able to pronounce Zbigniew Brzezinski.

Masses Demand! Give Peace, Beer – a Chance!!!

It was a good protest. We shouted and we disrupted many innocent Wicked-goers waiting outside the Pantages. We screwed up the traffic. Real bad too! Mission accomplished!

Is he…being funny or something? Seems like he’s trying to say he’s a good guy who doesn’t like fundamentalist dogma. But he is saying this while driving a giant gas-guzzling monstrosity that could take out a small immigrant family on a sidewalk without so much as a dent to its bumper? Also did you like how I automatically assumed it was a guy who drove this car? Men are often confusing.

Ann Coulter Hate Brigade, Vol. 4

“I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word “faggot.”

Funny how Reuters wouldn’t actually spell out what Coulter said. I had to get it from some local news site.

The woman has no shame, and responded thusly:

Coulter said the comment was a joke and on her Web site she carried the speech with the comment, “I’m so ashamed, I can’t stop laughing.” She then said Edwards’ campaign chairman’s main job was “fronting for Arab terrorists.”

This has obviously given the Edwards campaign some nice steam to run on, because bitch didn’t take the time to insult a Clinton or the black race while she was up there.

Why is she allowed to talk still?! Where is her momma? You didn’t learn your daughter right.

You may well ask: “Why direct action? Why sit-ins, marches and so forth? Isn’t negotiation a better path?” You are quite right in calling, for negotiation. Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored. My citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent-resister may sound rather shocking. But I must confess that I am not afraid of the word “tension.” I have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half-truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, we must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood.

Am I the only one who thinks MLK could be on some piece of our currency? I’m tired of looking at Andrew Jackson’s mug.
