Communists for Kerry have dispelled the puny flea-bites of the crimethink death-merchant counter-revolutionaries known as Swiftboat Veterans. Behold their triumphant righteous fisting….

Not all Communists are bad people! Check these pictures out. Very, very funny! And while you’re at it, read about America’s love affair with elitist defecation. (Via Comrade Justin.) MORE: The more I think this over, the more it appears that the comrades over at ComradesforKerry.Com have just as much right to lay claim to…

Everybody loves to question the timing. But how about questioning the timing of the questioning of the timing? Last year, Philadelphia’s Mayor John Street “discovered” that the evil Bush administration had planted a Watergate-style bug in his office. Street had been behind in a close race, but the hoopla surrounding the bug — replete with…

I got an instant message last night from someone who posts on a message board I used to be involved with. He was very excited about his new song (‘i’m writing a protest song heh’) and asked me to critique his lyrics. I asked what he was protesting, and though I didn’t get a direct…

It looks as if the Lapham school of journalism has twice decided Arnold Schwarzenegger was a liar before the uncooperative transcripts of his speeches dared to refuse to reflect the Laphamized lies he was supposed to have told! TWICE! Once on Tuesday night — and once last year! This has even created a battle between…

I’m fast gaining a reputation as a not very nice guy. So our newest winner, following inaugural Idiot of the Week Carl Lewis, is my fellow Pennsylvanian, Kathryn Miller of Greensburg: Store Clerk Accepts Fake $200 Bill, Makes Change PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) – At first glance it looked like the real thing, so store clerk Kathryn…

Stuff like this was supposed to arrive in the 23rd century. Not that I’m complaining, mind you.

My attention was caught by this article on this site . Reuters reports that the Danish company Aresa Biodetection has developed genetically-modified flowers which change color when their roots come in contact with Nitrogen Dioxide in the soil. Explosives used in mines produce NO2 as the chemicals gradually decay. Okay, so some of these ideas…

To go along with this entry, a new wrinkle on keeping cool. Still punching above their weight.

Staunch Mac Blogger Brian Tiemann is back from Toronto. Besides being an irredeemably nice guy, he has enriched my conversational ability. “I don’t give a rat’s left ass cheek.” strikes me as one of those rare improvements on the original. I use it frequently now. Thanks Brian!

The following testimony is abridged. You are viewing a mere skeleton. The fullness of its wisdom can be found here. Testimony Before United States House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime on ?The Ethics of Cloning? June 7, 2001 Testimony of Leon R. Kass, M.D., Ph.D.* Mr. Chairman and Members of the…

Thanks to the wonders of the Internet, I didn’t even need to set my VCR to catch John McCain’s speech. A bit late, perhaps, but well worth the wait. Senator McCain is an inspiration to me (even though I disagree with him on campaign finance reform as well as gun control). There’s a lot of…

More beheadings of innocent people by bloodthirsty barbarians. Every time this happens, I wonder whether each beheading video should be dedicated to Michael Moore with something like this: “The beheading video you are about to see is dedicated to Michael Moore — a great American patriot who is spreading the truth.” The latest video atrocity…

NEWSFLASH! (About “pursuit of happiness” and other liberal heresies….) According to Alan Keyes, Dick Cheney’s daughter is a “selfish hedonist” — and the reason is simple: Vice President Dick Cheney’s daughter Mary is a “selfish hedonist” because she is a lesbian. Without getting into the question of hedonism, and whether it’s good or bad (discussed…

Here’s an experiment in the counterintuitive: instead of starting my day with yet another post about nostalgia for leftist demonstrators who remind me of Berkeley, I’ll fast forward to more recent nostalgia — and remind everyone to read this week’s very funny Bonfire of the Vanities. It’s hosted by Dr. Rusty Shackleford, and the theme…
