I’ll Take Things That Are Fragile and Overpriced for $800 Alex.

Keith Olbermann compares himself to an expensive chandelier to David Letterman, http://fxn.ws/HfvXy8

Which begs the question… How the heck did Olbermann get on Letterman to begin with? If anyone needs anymore proof that David Letterman is in the Leftist tank then this is surely that. More people go to Instapundit than saw Keith Olbermann [...]

Weekend Five — April Fools!

Wanks is on the DL this weekend. While there is no “Weekend Five Controversy” here I’ll back her up today. In honor of April Fool’s Day — what is your Top 5 prank, hoax, or joke — either from your personal experience or from history.

In no particular order….

1. I’m a sucker for [...]

Stop the Presses!

Threedonians now have a new way to follow Floyd:

From the Daily Mail:  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2122318/Think-Twitters-New-site-prints-Twitter-page-favourite-celebritys-rolls-loo-paper.html

“A new site prints out your Twitter feed on rolls of toilet paper – or you can pick your favourite celebrity and turn their words into wipes. The site S***ter charges $35 for four rolls of paper printed with [...]

Paging the Trzupr

Coal may be a declining business in Harlan County, but it still a leading exporter in ass-kicking.

Pardon my cynicism, but – coincidentally – on the day of the biggest Supreme Court case in 12 years, the EPA has announced new regulations affecting the coal industry.

The rule will require new power plants to [...]

Tuesday Open Thread

Some of the greatest music of the past 50 years or so has been put out under the sponsorship of NFL FIlms — THE premiere myth makers of American culture in our history (IMHO).

And this one is the best — of course:

Love much of Unitas We Stand below:

Trope A Dope (BUMPED AND UPDATED)

h/t: Jim Treacher’s Facebook page

From today’s (3/26/2012) Orlando Sentinel:

With a single punch, Trayvon Martin decked the Neighborhood Watch volunteer who eventually shot and killed the unarmed 17-year-old, then Trayvon climbed on top of George Zimmerman and slammed his head into the sidewalk, leaving him bloody and battered, law enforcement authorities have [...]

Dumbocrats

Of course we all know that conservatives are smarter than liberals… mostly because we read widely and actually defend our ideas (with some notable exceptions of course) and are not afraid to admit we are wrong. There is research to back it up from Pew:

So Republicans are more knowledgeable than Democrats, contrary to [...]

The wishy washy and anti-semitic narratives of Toulouse

Michael C. Moynihan has an effective and needed take on the murders of Jewish schoolchildren in Toulouse, France.

Like America’s reaction to the murder of Trayvon Martin—who would likely be alive today had he been white—the French should move the debate toward the toxic anti-Jewish ideology that motivated Mohammed Merah.

 

 

 

Good News!

Olympic organizing committees often get derided for being corrupt, politically correct, and craven — and rightly so. They should also get credit where due of course. And this is one of those times:

London Olympic organizers announced plans Friday to remaster “Chariots of Fire,” the 1981 Oscar-winning film that opens with a classic scene [...]

Supreme Court takes on health care

The Supreme Court will take on the state’s challenge to the new federal health care law this spring. This will be one of the more important cases in a generation, for reasons that go beyond the law. A good primer, from the view that the law is constitutional, is presented by Jack Balkin at The [...]

Te-Boing!!!

I like Peyton Manning a lot. He’s a man of faith and a great competitor, if not as vocal as Tebow. I also like Tim Tebow a lot. Did he get a raw deal from Denver? How? When you take that much money for season tickets and seat licenses, etc. a team owner HAS [...]

Blame game

The Washington Post has an excellent “behind-the-scenes” look at last year’s budget talks. Details reveal an ending quite different from the one that was presented. Reticent tea party members refusing to compromise? Not quite.

What happened? Obama and his advisers have cast the collapse of the talks as a Republican failure. Boehner, unable to deliver, [...]

Too smart to fail?

Thomas Frank manages to plow through the wrong side of every issue he encounters. His tome “What’s the Matter with Kansas?” was a hit and a fun vicarious read for its sheer angst and liberal anger alone. (I imagine him frothing at the mouth from his laptop as he writes, sneering at his cat or [...]

May You See Your Children’s Children…

I ran across a blog, in one of those random RT encounters that make Twitter interesting, called The Path Less Taken run by an Irish writer living in London named Mary O’Regan. On her blog I ran across this story she did about the woman pictured above — an British woman named Katie Robinson [...]

And Speaking of Privacy…

And on a related note to the “big brother” post below there’s this story from The New York Times:

In this era of “Jersey Shore” antics and “Girls Gone Wild,” where bikini tops vanish like unattended wallets, it would seem natural to assume that this generation of college student has outdone the spring break [...]

They Should Have Named It George

This is unfortunate… and hilarious — I mean sad… real sad. If you’re still lurking “no on in particular” this photographer should be drawn and quartered.

An earless baby bunny that was a rising star on Germany’s celebrity animal scene had his 15 minutes of fame brought to an abrupt end when he was [...]

Pillows. 10 Paces at Dawn.

Kate Upton victim of frosty reception, catty remarks from fellow Sports Illustrated models, report says, http://fxn.ws/yT5LQA

There’s really only one way to resolve this conflict.

Yosemite in HD

Yosemite HD from Project Yosemite on Vimeo.

This is a beautiful time lapse of Yosemite National Park by Sheldon Neill and Colin Delehanty called “Project Yosemite”. I took my family to Yosemite last year and despite all of the beautiful photos, videos, etc. I have seen, it more than lived up to its reputation [...]

From Hell…

Let me preface this by a saying a few things. I believe Christopher Hitchens is in Hell. I write that with no relish but with profound sadness. I also say that without 100% conviction because God only knows what went on in Hitch’s last moments on this side of life — and I believe [...]

Topher Grace… Hero?

Maybe “hero” is a tad strong, but the “That 70s Show” star (and I like In Good Company) is apparently a film junkie and has become interested in editing as well. In that vein he has reportedly created an 85-minute version of all three Star Wars prequels that is quite good. Good news. Bad news. [...]
