Company releasing home-made porn flick claimed to be of Jimi Hendrix getting it on with a couple of women (which the article helpfully identifies as “brunettes”). Enterpreneur thinks it would be awesome to have sex footage of Elvis or Sinatra (young, in both instances, I presume). Which brings up today’s question: What historical figures would you most care to see resurrected in porn? (h/t Hot Air) More Zombie Love: Fuck
There. [Dan Collins]
That wasn’t so hard, was it? David Thompson finishes a post on the absurd apology fallout from the Marcotte gaffe with this beautifully considered and constructed finale: One of the surest ways to erode a person’s probity is to make them repeat in public, among their peers, things that are unrealistic and absurd; things they know, or suspect, to be untrue. The more incoherent and ridiculous the claim – or
Election 2008: Obama has the most powerful tool in US politics [Karl]
Bloomberg’s Christopher Stern reports on Barack Obama’s Total Information Awareness: Almost 2 million people have entered personal information on Obama pages on social-networking Web sites such as Facebook, MySpace and his campaign’s mybarackobama.com, offering home addresses, phone numbers, their views on specific issues and the names of friends. The data have allowed Obama, 46, to raise more than $200 million, fill sports arenas with supporters across the nation and motivate
Could US Attorney misconduct spring former LA Gov. Edwin Edwards? [Karl w/a big wet kiss for thor]
Patterico wants to know: Did a prosecutor in the New Orleans U.S. Attorney’s Office commit misconduct which could jeopardize the conviction of former Louisiana governor Edwin Edwards? Did a defendant who turned state’s evidence against Edwards bribe Congressman William Jefferson to influence the former U.S. Attorney to get a better deal for himself? Did the Department of Justice ignore evidence of these claims? These are the allegations made by James
Wright in your face with bogus claims about "the black church" [Karl]
From TIME’s Joe Klein to the The View, folks are starting to talk about the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s claim that attacks on his hate-filled sermons are somehow attacks on “the black church” (the corollary being Barack Obama’s claim that he could no more disown Wright than he could “the black community”). It is thus time for a reminder: Obama knew he was joining a radical church; Rev. Wright told him so from the
Dems 2008: Bill Kristol figures it out, more or less [Karl]
Bill Kristol is getting blog buzz for his latest column on Hillary Clinton, primarily this: She is, of course, still behind in the race, and Obama will most likely be the nominee. His team has run the better campaign. In particular, it realized how important the caucus states could be: Obama’s delegate lead depends on his caucus victories. But Hillary may well be the better candidate. After all, for all the
Jeremiah Wright on AIDS, Again [Dan Collins]
Ecce homo that Obama can no more disown than he can the black community. If I were the black community, I’d be pretty f*ckin’ pissed. Jeremiah Wright, crucificato, claims that He is the black church in America. Nobody comes to the church except through Him. More: Shep slaps around some shmoe from TulaneÂÂ

In which I break character and answer a transparently loaded question about Ms Shannon Elizabeth's parodic/allegorical sexual proclivities
Yesterday’s post on the Marcotte / Savages dustup (and subsequent self-loathing, overtly “introspective” world wide apology tour) — presented in the form of a Shannon Elizabeth riff — has, as I’d imagined it might, brought the establishment feminist boilerplate out in full force: I am, evidently, in addition to being an asshole (confirmed), also a “racist” and a supporter of either “grey rape” or full on rape (each charge ridiculous).
