Okay, so I’m paraphrasing.  Still, Technorati’s Buzz TV cites yours truly as the conservative MAVERICK on the issue of distancing oneself from Ann Coulter’s comments—which only makes sense, since John McCain skipped CPAC and was unavailable for comment. In his defense, of course, rumor has it McCain is busy working on the much-anticipated McCain-Feingold 2:  Electronically-equal Boogaloo, which Dennis Kucinich and Taylor Marsh hope will augur a return to the

Following your Enlightenment’s inexorable repudiation of Rousseauvian romanticism, introduce into a once bucolic landscape the specter of fossil-fuel fed industrialization. Engage in a market system that exploits labor and resources to build obscene pools of capital for the few, while marginalizing the many.

Police say a man sought revenge against his ex-girlfriend by leaving homemade DVDs of her performing sex acts on car windshields throughout the area. The DVDs include the woman’s name, address and phone number. I know I’m going to be accused of blaming the victim, but what was she doing performing sex acts on car windshields throughout the area? That’ll show her how wrong she was to break up with

My 2004 HP laptop—which has been threatening to die longer than Abe Vigoda—is now officially on its last week of life.  The mouse freezes.  Security updates are impossible to download.  The hard drive is running hotter than a desert lapdance.  And lately, whenever I try to type the word “progressive,” the display literally shuts down until I agree to pay it a quarter toward some phantom union tax it assures

I thought I’d do some digging (even though Glenn Greenwald tells me it’s wrong) to find out what the liberal blogs were saying about Barney Frank’s joke on Bill Maher’s show that the bomb that blew up during Cheney’s visit was wasted (although it killed about 20 people outside the base where the Vice-President was visiting and drew attention to the terrible conditions prevailing in that country since ChimpyMcHalliburtonSorosCon diverted

As everybody knows, Ann Coulter more or less called John Edwards a faggot, and now his website’s asking for contributions (Coulter Cash) to demonstrate that people aren’t going to stand for that kind of bigotry.  I therefore invite you to donate money, to demonstrate your opposition to the kind of anti-Godbag bigotry demonstrated by former Edwards blogmistress Amanda Marcotte, to her favorite conservative pundit, Jeff Goldstein, so that he can
