John Cole reacts to yesterday night’s post about how he treated the news of Anna Nicole Smith’s death. Hmmm. Go take a look at that original post. He rightly takes MSNBC to task for wall-to-wall Anna Nicole coverage, but it’s afterwards that he gets untracked. Because all of the vitriol in the post and the comments is reserved for the dead woman–drunk, addict, gold-digger, horrible mother. The emphasis to me

Good News for Male PW Readers [Dan Collins]
No, I’m not going away . . . yet. Nice of you to think of me, though. High-flying men are not as attractive to women looking for love as those with an average job, scientists say. Woo-hoo! Fun-Fair for the Common Man! Perhaps unsurprisingly, the University of Central Lancashire research found the 186 female students asked preferred good-looking men. There’s always a catch, isn’t there? Lead researcher Simon Chu said
More Bad News for Bush [Dan Collins]
Polling of Arabs Reveals Bush Unpopular! Based on face-to-face interviews conducted for the Saban Center by the Zogby International polling firm last November and December, attitudes were surveyed in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco and United Arab Emirates. Respondents were asked to identify which world leader outside of their own country they disliked most. Bush was named by 38 percent, former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon by 11 percent,
Balloon Juice [Dan Collins] – UPDATED
Wuzzadem John sends me this email: I’ve always thought of John Cole as sort of a female version of Mandy – only with 90% less profanity – but after seeing this thread and the ensuing comments I have a much lower opinion of him. http://www.balloon-juice.com/?p=7874 That’s truly disgusting – and I’m not exactly the Mayor of Tactville. Just so you don’t have to go over there, here’s the post: Imagine
You know what today is, brother. Come on—give us what we want, why don’t you –?
—I would, honestly. But it turns out the little guy ate some bad pico de gallo with his lunchtime enchiladas and, after spending his entire afternoon on the crapper with an old plastic bucket by his feet, took off a few hours ago for Arizona, his plan being to hitch-hike to Douglas and join up with a Minutemen encampment along the border. Which to some of you might seem laudable
Same-sex marriage, civil unions, and the resurgence of the semantic distinction
While his column is primarily interested in examining how elites in the press manufacture news to conform to progressive dogma, Thomas Sowell’s “All the ‘News’?” reinforces an important point that I don’t think can be overstated by those who oppose same sex marriage on non-religious grounds—namely, that the problem is not so much with the arrangement as it is with the attempt by activists to forcibly broaden the definitions of
Got TiVO? [Dan Collins]
HuffPo dissident Greg Gutfeld’s show is hated by all the right people. I don’t receive television (because it’s mostly like arguing with alphie), so I can’t comment from firsthand experience, but it seems it might be worth a look. At least according to two three-timing media slut Jim Treacher. Now that Wuzzie’s off the junk, he and Mrs. R are en fuego. Will I get fired for saying en fuego?
a half-hearted attempt to reaffirm my conservative bona fides, 11
Man, that Sean Hannity sure has a nice head of hair on him, doesn’t he? And that chest! Only a man fully committed to personal responsibility can be disciplined enough to fill out a Van Heusen poplin button down like that. He must work out. Like, lots. God bless him.
The advance of the nannystate
The mass influx of west coasters to Colorado over the last decade or so is beginning to take its toll on statewide social policy —from the recent abomination of Amendment 41 (which was intended to “regulate” political activism, but has wound up making it impossible for government workers to give gifts to their grandchildren) to the push (yet again) by Democratic legislators to pass legislation that would turn all of
If You Can Stand It, One More Small Observation About Our Favorite Unhinged Lefty (CraigC)
There has been wall-to-wall commentary on Ms. Marcotte lately, and I can’t possibly follow it all, so if someone has already addressed this, I apologize. One thing I vow here and now–you motherfuckers who want to ban birth control will never sleep. I will fuck without making children day in and out and you will know it and you won’t be able to stop it. Toss and turn, you mean,
