Say Hello To My Little Antiwar Friend [Karl]

Oliver Stone is planning to direct an anti-war television commercial for the leftist group MoveOn.org.  The Stone ad campaign will focus on a specific American family affected by the war, chosen by MoveOnbats for maximum moral authority. This is a marriage made in Heaven (if it’s not too Christianist to refer to both marriage and Heaven).  Indeed, I suspect most PW readers could have predicted it. It’s a little ironic,

Eros, By Any Other Name [Dan Collins]

Several cities around the world — including Paris, Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, and Barcelona — are home to erotic museums. Typically, they exhibit everything from pornography to high-minded paintings exploring local sexual attitudes and culture. It’s kind of a strange thing for a museum to be.  I guess I’m okay with it, but I’m not using the rest room. Dude, That’s Some Powerful Shit Premium Swift We’re all

My Wife Commits Porkrilege [Dan Collins]

Driving to Mass today, Mary had time to unpack some of her stories from her visit with her juniors to Houston, to demonstrate some Waldorf educational methods to schools in the Houston area, part of their social service component.  One of the students has grandparents in The Woodlands nearby, who offered to fix up a luncheon for all eight of the students and the two teachers.  Nate said it would

Theorizing the Incomprehensible [Dan Collins]

Today in The Times of London, Camille Paglia and others take a shot at explaining Cho, citing a feminized culture and the sterile patriarchy of the campus, all at the same time.  It’s the best written piece on Cho that I’ve read to this point, and I’ll be interest to hear what Dr. Helen has to say about it if she decides to weigh in.  Meanwhile, I’m wondering what you

His Name Is Cole Hamels (CraigC)

Complete game, five hits, one run, 15 K’s.  And a triple play.  And not one of those fluke triple plays, a 5-4-3 around-the-horn triple play. Now, can somebody get me a bullpen? *

Partial Birth Abortion [Dan Collins]

It seems that abortion rights advocates are up in arms about the term, “partial birth abortion.” I suppose they think it ought to be impartial. Speaking of which, and coming back to a topic which I’ve not spoken on in a while, but which is close to my heart, I’ve once again been attacked by a friend from academia (a dwindling cluster of whom remain) on the grounds that my

My Wife and Daughter [Dan Collins]

are watching a movie.  I hollered into the living room, asking what it was.  They said, as near as I could make out, The Cunt of Mountie Crisco.  It sounds Canadian.  Should I be concerned? UPDATE: It’s by someone named “Dumbass”.

Danny C Go To the Mall [Dan Collins]

Two weeks ago, I got hit by triple witching when all my insurance premiums came up for payment at the same time.  So I smoked butts that I keep in a cookie tin against the eventuality, severely restricted my beer consumption, and defrosted lots of stuff from the top-loading freezer to chop up and toss into the slow cooker, much to the consternation of the monsterlings, and finished the last

Ismail Ax [Dan Collins]

The answer?  Nobody seems to have considered the obvious: Is Maalox. Heartburn.

Radicalized Sturgeon Attack Jetskiers [Dan Collins]

Parker said problems with sturgeon — which are large, prehistoric-looking fish with hard plates along their backs that can grow up to 8 feet long and up to 200 pounds — came to a head last year when 10 people were injured in accidents caused by the jumping fish. Parker said the Gulf sturgeon migrate into the Suwannee River in March to spawn, and remain in the river until the
