…maybe it’ll get some play. I’ve always been a bit ahead of my time. Like the Plasmatics, or Crack the Sky. **** update: See also, Mark Levin.

From the Daily Telegraph: Anderson, 41, was recently in Toronto speaking out against the abuse of animals in Hollywood. When asked by E! News Weekend Canada about Palin, she has some choice words for the Republican hopeful. The reporter asked Pam if she saw a recent Newsweek article, which showed a gigantic bear hide in the office of Palin’s house. “I can’t stand her,” Pam blurted out. “She can suck

This, from commenter Andrew the Noisy: “Pilate was an urbane and educated professional. Jesus was a Galileean redneck born in a barn.” — Though, in fairness, he was a Capricorn, too. Just thought you should know.

Evidently, rather than issuing a correction or retraction to an egregious error, ABC News has simply scrubbed their “Nightline” airing of the Charlie Gibson interview with Sarah Palin of Gibson’s misquote (and Governor Palin’s notice of that misquote) of a line Palin delivered to a church assembly — the result being that Palin is left not only to explain an out of context exhortation made at her old church, but

Excerpts from Gov. Palin’s interview with ABC’s Charlie Gibson, who tries hard to turn a “soccer Mom” into, well, Ahmanidinejihadiwhatever: GIBSON: You said recently, in your old church, “Our national leaders are sending U.S. soldiers on a task that is from God.” Are we fighting a holy war?

Can “justifiable homicide” be far behind? RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE!

Looking back to that horrible day, seven years ago: We must also engage, however, in the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness. The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity and suffering of others. Such a failure of empathy, such numbness to the

Janet Albrechtsen, WSJ: For left-leaning elites outside the United States, the nomination of Sarah Palin as the Republican vice presidential candidate is a case of “only in America” — a sneering phrase foreigners use to explain a weird or distasteful American phenomenon. For them, the emergence of a small-town conservative Christian woman with a large family and a beehive hairdo, who talks about the small-town American values of faith, family

In response to questions I posed in the previous thread, thor chides: This thread is about the evil radicalism that hibernates in Obama’s dark heart. We all know it’s there so we remind ourselves of his inner-evilness just so we know we know. Cartoon it all you’d like, but the thread is about how much of Obama’s early ideological training — bolstered and finessed by his associations (Wright, Ayers, et

Melanie Phillips on Obama and tranformational Marxism: In her game-changing convention speech, Sarah Palin took a swipe at Obama for having been nothing more in his life than a ‘community organiser’. This prompted the Obama campaign to issue a pained defence of community organisation as a way of promoting social change ‘from the bottom up’. The impression is that community organising is a worthy if woolly and ultimately ineffectual grassroots
