Hi all. Just a quick note to let you all know that Thailand is a marvelous place, and that the randy panzer rat and I are having a blast experiencing a highly-sexualized Other in its native habitat — even if the poor little fella did end up losing 2 toes on his right front leg thanks to a “misunderstanding” with some heavily-armed and surly opium farmers (and what we now

I shouldn’t joke about it.  Help me, please. Second Greatest Story Ever Told

Charlie Wilson’s War is one of several movies I saw over the weekend, and I am glad to say I can recommend it.  Directed Mike Nichols from a screenplay by Aaron Sorkin, there were certainly reasons to be concerned that the ostensibly fact-based film would stray too far into the realm of liberal fantasy.  It does do this on occasion, but not so much as to interfere with enjoying the

A study of hyper-moronicity.  It seems that “researchers” have discovered that sexists (men, of course) who are exposed to humor that disparages women are less likely thereupon to donate money to women’s causes.  So this is evidence that sexist humor (against women, of course) tends to unrepress prejudicial behavior among sexists (men, of course). Why the study didn’t bother to consider the effects of humor disparaging to men on women

It strikes me as strange that Caric and similar creatures don’t understand how their propagation and maintenance of the subtext contributes to stuff like this:  A jury Saturday convicted a black man of killing a white teen during a racially charged confrontation outside the man’s home despite his claims that he feared a lynch mob had come to attack his family.

According to the latest numbers from Rasmussen, she is currently viewed unfavorably by 54% of all voters — the highest unfavorable rating for any of the Democratic

The other day, I missed the disclosure that the Center for Independent Media — funder of lefty bloggers – operates as a cut-out of sorts for money from George Soros. Captain Ed asked: Why doesn’t George Soros work with more transparency? Why create the illusion of the “independent” nature of CIM and its subsidiaries, like MinnMon? It clearly indicates that they intend to quietly influence people via the use of front organizations that

What he said. Come on now, everybody sing along! NSFW.  But why the f**k are you at work?? Update:  Achmed sings!

But I’m endorsing Thompson, simply for the courage it takes to stand up to Big Swine in Iowa. Burge-Goldstein! 

Man, I can’t wait to hear what Mona has to say about this: Authorities have charged two women and a man with a weekend attack on three North Carolina football players. Police said robbery was probably the motive, although two of the players were sexually assaulted. Police say the players were attacked early Sunday at their off-campus apartment in Chapel Hill. All three were bound with tape before they were assaulted
