Juvenalia

For whatever reason, “Retardo Montalban” of Sadly, No! just can’t seem to quit me—as he makes clear by way of frequent invocations in a post about how he’s going to change his internet handle.  So that, you know—he can be taken seriously as a thinker. What I find so amusing about “Retardo” is that he’s a guy who, at various times, has called himself “Penius” and “Ebeneezer Spooge”—along with several

Guardian Twat Urges Further Redefinition of Masculinity [Dan Collins]

I hope that at least this gets this pussy-face laid. We are offering up a fast food menu of impoverished stereotypes to our sons, based on rigid class systems and exclusion. The thought of filling 21st century boyhood with the same stale old guff on evil foreigners and government-sanctioned assassins makes me feel tired and more than a bit concerned. This is a scary and thrilling time to be male

Docu-Drama [Dan Collins; UPDATED]

I have to highlight this. At Tailrank, the most active story is that Scooter Libby destroyed a memo from Cheney that would have implicated the VP in the Plame fiasco, led by Thinkprogress. This, according to Maguire, who’s the only guy I know who seems to understand the story in its entirety, is bullshit (link and ff.).

***Now About Buck Owens*** Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, whose new book has been attacked as slanted against Israel, received two standing ovations as he answered critics during a much-anticipated talk at a historically Jewish college. The former president and Nobel Peace Prize winner acknowledged to an audience at Brandeis University on Tuesday that “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” has “caused great concern in the Jewish community,” but noted that it

What Would Obama Say? [Karl]

As Jeff recently returned to the argument that racial categorizations tend to collapse under the weight of their own logical incoherence, the tale of freshman Rep. Stephen I. Cohen (D-TN) should not pass unnoticed at PW. Rep. Cohen, who won his seat in the 60 percent black district vacated by Harold Ford, wanted to join the Congressional Black Caucus, but dropped his bid after several current and former caucus members

Shallow Thoughts, by CraigC

Sometimes when I’m feeling down and I need a little pick-me-up, I’ll go up to a fat chick and say, “So……when’s the baby due?”
