Talking back to mass emails from political magazines, 1

Received this email just moments ago from the New Republic’s Franklin Foer: Dear Reader, Dick Cheney’s daughter is an open lesbian-and now she is pregnant. Her presence would seem to pose a problem for conservatives. How can they decry gay unions and then fail to decry Mary Cheney’s lifestyle? In this week’s cover story Andrew Sullivan explores the conundrum represented by Mary Cheney and then dissects the conservative reaction to

refuses debate, because there is no debate. Former President Carter turned down a request to debate Alan Dershowitz about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying the outspoken Harvard law professor “knows nothing about the situation.” Carter, author of a new book advocating “peace not apartheid” in the region, said he will not visit Brandeis University to discuss the book because the university requested he debate Dershowitz. “I don’t want to have a

is a bit like iodine.  My friend Frank Pulley sends this joke: Bono, the lead singer of the band U2 is famous throughout the entertainment industry for being more than just a little self-righteous. He was playing a U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland when he asked the audience for total quiet. Then in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands … once every few seconds. Holding the audience

Just in time for the holidays, our ever diligent media have added a new word for breasts to our mammary-denotation-starved nomenclature: “personal issues.” Miss USA’s ‘personal issues’ scrutinized You’re Fired? The organizers of the Miss USA pageant said Thursday they are evaluating the “behavioral and personal issues” of the reigning winner and will decide her future within a week. Pageant officials and Scrooge McDuck Donald Trump, who co-owns the Miss
