Nancy Pelosi, Rufus’ Speaker of the House, gave a speech to the Legislative Conference of the National Association of Counties yesterday. Her full remarks are here (if you dare): Here’s a snippet of what she said: You’ve heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill, one or the other. But I don’t [...] It’s better to keep your mouth shut and be thought an idiot than open it and remove all doubt. In today’s example that proves the above statement we have one Tom Hanks courtesy of Time Magazine via John Nolte AKA Dirty Harry Tom talking about his new show on HBO: “From the outset, we wanted to make people [...] Wow, this sounds really, really bad. From Kyle Smith via ACEof Spades After all of Hollywood’s Iraq movies have flopped (even the Oscar-garlanded “The Hurt Locker” earned only $15 million at the box office), one studio thinks it has the following secret to success: The previous films didn’t insult the United States enough. Your potential theme song? Channeling the great Bobby Subgum, a teasah, a rittle ti’bit of the great Gary Eaton somehow making me sound not-too-shabby in the vocals department (and really pushing me — no baseball bats necessary — to hit the right word emphases throughout the song), while also supplying the guitars, bass and drums [...] Want to know why Ron Paul will NEVER be President? This pretty much sums it up. There are plenty of good reasons to dislike the Federal Reserve… and then there are Paulie’s reasons. Cocoa Puffs anyone? h/t: Jonah Goldberg at The Corner Share on Facebook Share on Facebook This is what Playboy magazine thinks of you. First, talented artist I must say. Yeah, even here in deepest darkest Iraq where we aren’t supposed to see such nasty things as Playboy magazine…some of us actually do see things that have appeared in it. This is one such thing. The article that accompanies [...] – or at the very least, I’m saying it to my students tomorrow. Dick Cheney Drives CPAC Wild With Killer Quote: “I Will Bathe In Your Blood Before the Children of Babylon!!!” Who Dat? Apparently there is a bit of a ruckus over who owns the rights to print the words “Who Dat?” on a t-shirt. LA Senator David Vitter claims that the city of New Orleans owns that phrase The NFL is trying to stop a local T-Shirt vendor from making shirts with the phrase saying the Aints [...] The sad thing about it is, the person this letter is intended for would consider him a tired senile old man… Dear President Obama, Though it’s almost a 100% chance a lefty musician’s going to get their hemp panties in a bunch, as an amateur song parodist, it’s always frustrating to see someone’s mimicry-creativity squashed (and Lord knows Neil Young, Dan Baird, Queen, Jeff Lynne and Mick & Keef would do likewise if my takes on their respective tunes [...] Despite beyond jaw-droppingly electrifying Super Bowl and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performances last decade, Prince seems to have fallen back to earth, real hard, with his latest project, a fight song for the Minnesota Vikings. Not only has James Brown’s heir to the King of Funk produced a tune that wouldn’t have even [...] David Bellavia strikes again. Please use the following phrases and facts on as many leaflet drops, posters and/or commercial advertisements as possible… …Let them know that the United States Military is committed to assuring each individual jihadist that they have the opportunity to go to the afterlife wherever and whenever they desire. They have to call us [...] For those who listed Johnny Cash’s American series of albums as some of their favorites of the last decade, get ready for what may be just one more. Considering Rick Rubin’s confessions he and Johnny left a lot of songs on the cutting room floor, I somehow doubt this’ll be the last one, but who [...] Frank Munro — author The Story of Ferdinand — was serious about grammar. Too bad he didn’t win that battle. In isolation, good grammar is a small thing. Good grammar is, however, a signpost of civilization (and is in no way the exclusive domain of the wealthy) and it is not coincidence [...] Singer Tori Amos fills us all in on her feelings about Sarah Palin and Barack Obama. From this SITE. AMOS MAKES PALIN PROMISE American singer TORI AMOS has vowed to run for office if former U.S. Vice President candidate SARAH PALIN ever tries to get elected again. Call me kooky (or worse), but something tells me Tiger Woods wouldn’t have as much fun listing his tabloid rumors as Spears’ team did. Hate to admit it, Brit: pretty damn clever way to go on the defensive offensive. The list culled mostly from U.S. and British websites, celebrity magazines and newspapers, included various reports of [...] Al Gore — in his most recent climate tome — has penned a poem which he read on CNN.

However, Eric, Floyd and eventually Rich (aka Mr. Front Page) anchored this week’s show, [...] Threedonians, I need your help! Your Wankette is teaching a college course in writing. One of my students — a young man with a troubled past — has shown great promise. He’s got an eloquence and originality that is rare in anyone, let alone a 17-year-old. But. He submitted an essay (subject: “Explain a theory”) that was…ughhhhhh… delineating [...] LIVE IN ABOUT AN HOUR – please set your online radios to www.righttalkradio.com from 2-4.

I believe that [...] “On the 3rd planet from the Sun, I’ve been trying to get the funky job done!” Wow! Mighty Skip has just made my month! And in a month that includes Christmas that’s sayin’ something’. I really like James Brown and I am a big fan of his song, “Gravity.” I hesitate to [...] Between his kick-ass takedown of Tiger Woods’ whiny press conference last week and this, one of the best arguments for a college football I-A (that’s right, I said it the old school way) playoff I’ve yet seen, Dan Wetzel’s gonna be getting a lot more traffic from my direction. As for the playoffs, though, still [...] Dr. Michael Schlesinger discusses climate science with the NY Times’ Andy Revkin (artist’s conception) Character 1 (r): Dr. Michael Schlesinger, a meteorologist at the University of Illinois, and one of the nation’s leading global warming alarmists. (Sidebar: when a skeptic is identified as a mere meteorologist – like Anthony Watts, for example – the [...] Little late, even for a save, but in light of the Freddie Mercury Biography special I finally cleared out of the TiVo backlog, as good a spot as any for a Top Five.

THERE IS MUCHO CURSING IN THIS CLIP, BUT IT’S WORTH EVERY SECOND. Share on Facebook “Whatever it is, I’m against it!” Alright students, listen up. I’ve had all I can take of this Climate Change/Global Warming/Ice Caps receding/El Nina/El Nino/CO2 Good/CO2 Bad/Carbon Footprint/Carbon Offset/Cap and Trade/Crap and Trade nonsense. In the words of Popeye the Sailor, “that’s all I can stands, I can’t stands no more!” I know this is [...] For years and years (and years) the Global Warming crowd has told us – over and over and over again – that it’s all about the science. We skeptics, no matter how legitimate our arguments, or how good our creditials, have been the ones “perverting science” – right? I don’t think that I am exaggerating [...] Smmmmmoooookin! OMG! OMG!

Anyone who has worked at a newspaper, at just about any level, is familiar with “AP style”. Among other things, AP style dictates the hierarchical progression of the story. You begin with the most important aspects of the story and work your way down to the least important. There are two [...] Fellow Right to Laugh veteran (and Ohio expatriate) Travis Cohen, tells tales of political correctness gone wrong, his agenda as the first “Jewpublican” candidate for President, and how using a word that rhymes with “giggles” can lead to daring escapes from a comedy gig. We somehow drifted off into conversations on Pearl Jam, “Under the [...] I happen to like this song (quite a lot). Heck, this one, too. Some people might even like this song. Share on Facebook This weekend, I will be writing a Veterans Day speech for a politician friend of mine. It’s the tenth year in a row that I’ve written one for him. Both Veterans Day and Memorial Day are very important to him – he’s a great guy – and to me, by the way. So I have [...] He’s still the smartest, handsomest, eloquentest, bestest President ever; and we are so lucky to have him, even though we are all too stupid to realize it. I’d like this on a t-shirt, please. With a “Just kidding!” on the back. Share on Facebook For those who have never been in the military, DOD provides a TV network called AFN for those deployed overseas.
