young lady in tank top: “So what do you think — does that guy like the earth or what?” young man in t-shirt: “Yeah — though if I had to guess, I’d say he likes pastry just a teensy bit more.” young lady in tank top: “Well, to be fair, you can’t really save the planet without a healthy reserve of carbs, can you? Think of it as alternative fuel.”

Thanks! (UPDATED)
To Robert Crawford, for the twisted trifecta: Silence of the Lambs SE DVD, a gourmet slow cooker cook book, and a Fiesta Ware casserole dish. The dogs, they’re nervous. Thanks also to JHoward for the very sweet multimedia speakers. Now I can listen to my nasally drone in deep rich layers of nasally droniness. Why, I’m almost tempted to start podcasting just so I can listen to myself sounding so

A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some Van Camp’s pork ‘n beans and an ice cold twelve pack of Busch Light. Yeeeehaaaaaw!*
9 Michael Vick excuses for running a dog fighting ring
“One of the dogs really did eat my homework — and from there, it just kinda snowballed…” I’m part Korean on my father’s side. So where you see a ‘dog fighting ring,’ I see a a buffet table filled with the freshest dishes this side of a Pukp’yongdong barbecue. RACISTS! “For some reason, it’s next to impossible to get you hands on sabertooth tigers, even if you have, like, a
"US: Top al-Qaida in Iraq Figure Captured"
Of course, another violent weed will spring up to take his place. Like kudzu, these terrorists are. They can’t be stopped — so why bother even trying? Aren’t there other things we can be doing? After all, somewhere in America, the bottom 10% of wage earners are, well, in the bottom 10% of wage earning. And that simply most not stand! From ABC News: The U.S. command said Wednesday the
Has the (cyber) purge begun?
Are certain blogs being quietly blacklisted? And if so, is this blacklisting being tied to content? Robert Spencer posed the question a few weeks back when he found out that JihadWatch was being blocked in places where CAIR or the Arab News, for instance, were not. Today, Pam at Atlas Shrugs is having similar issues. It is unlikely, I think, that we’ll see a return of The Fairness Doctrine. For

Kerry: 60+ votes for withdrawal there for the taking
— if, that is, Republican Senators weren’t being ordered by King George to stay the course. Or if Kerry’s magic hat was given a Senate office and, say, 6-10 votes. From The Hill: Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) told The Hill Tuesday that he believes more than 60 senators would vote for a change in the Iraq strategy if they were allowed to vote their conscience on a measure to redeploy
Pssst. Yeah, You. Wanna See . . .
Joan Walsh give Elizabeth Edwards a blow job? [Dan Collins] Right afterward I was on MSNBC with Dan Abrams and he asked me, “If you were Elizabeth Edwards’ advisor, would you have told her to make the call?” And I said I didn’t think anyone advised you — I thought it was your idea, nobody tells you what to do. Yes, well, I knew she was doing “Hardball,” and I
Netroot dilemma?
Heroic spy fucker Joe Wilson, fresh off his latest triumph in front of the House Judiciary Committee, is endorsing Hillary Clinton for President in 2008. Which creates a bit of a problem, given that the netroots have spent a lot of energy building up Wilson’s credibility, while working to remind us — daily — that Hillary Clinton’s (pre-election cycle) support for the war in Iraq (which was nothing more, really,
