Don’t Hold Your Breath

From USA Today:

Authorities have arrested and charged a Duke University official who they say offered his adopted 5-year-old son for sex.

The FBI’s Washington field office said the school’s associate director of the Center for Health Policy, Frank Lombard, was caught in an Internet sting. Authorities said that Lombard tried to persuade a person [...]

Sunday Silliness

Since we’ve been talking TV:

Sunday Gospel

Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Yeah it’s long… turn it up and peruse the rest of your Internet. My favorite classical collection with the best version of this:

The Show Must Go On!

Maybe Michael Jackson will keep his dates at O2 Centre in London after all? Wasn’t he already plastinated?

Boehner: Cap and trade a “piece of sh*t”

John Boehner may be the last member of Congress with a dose of common sense.

When asked why he read portions of the cap-and-trade bill on the floor Friday night, Boehner told The Hill, “Hey, people deserve to know what’s in this pile of s–t.”

People worried about the “death of the GOP’ did [...]

A special video for Michael Jackson and his post-death media enablers

Here’s the actual video, no embedding, with it’s appropriate Michael Jackson shot.

The Jackson obit we were waiting for

By the world’s best obit writer, Mark Steyn. My, what was The Atlantic thinking.

If he was that aware of what was wrong with his childhood, why couldn’t he see his adulthood was even more luridly screwed up? You had to try hard to love the ”grown-up” Michael, even before he started outpacing his Fleet Street [...]

Bill? What bill?

Just like the stimulus package, Obama’s cap and trade catastrophe passed without a single member of the house reading it. To give more cause for concern, the  bill doesn’t officially exist. There is no copy available to read.

By all appearances, the House is about to vote on a very long bill of which it [...]

Nothing Beats…

being on vacation with a sick three-year old.

Why the Rush?

The unseemly haste with which cap-and-trade legislation was crammed through the House is due to one factor: the “crisis” is over.

The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberly Strassel explains:

Among the many reasons President Barack Obama and the Democratic majority are so intent on quickly jamming a cap-and-trade system through Congress is because the global warming [...]

3D Weekend Five: Favorite TV episodes

TV Guide just published a “100 Greatest Episodes” issue, and — like Entertainment Weekly before them — chose shows that, no one who’s a fan of the series, would have chosen.*  It’s the same dumb philosophy that puts Citizen Kane ahead of Casablanca on movie lists.

(*That is, like, one of the most awkward sentences [...]

Saturday Open Thread

You’re working for no one but The Big O and San Fran Nan…

House Passed “Cap & Trade”*

(*hereafter known as “Crap, it’s Tax!”)

I’m still screaming and throwing things.

One of the Repubs who missed the vote?  Appropriately enough: “Jeff Flake”.

This is so very, very bad.

Feel free to vent more eloquently.

*Marcoe, duly corrected.  I was feeling like it was already over, though, because I have even less faith in [...]

War on Science

From the San Francisco Chronicle:

A homeless man is on trial in San Mateo County on charges that he smacked a fellow transient in the face with a skateboard as the victim was engaged in a conversation about quantum physics, authorities said Wednesday.

Jason Everett Keller, 40, allegedly accosted another homeless man, Stephan Fava, on [...]

Congratulations, Outlaw!!

 

5 comments on 5 different posts, and done smack dab in the middle of peak posting time!  And, noon Pacific time is like, O-Dark-30 in the midde East, where he’s holed up in an undisclosed location!  And, even with the 130 degree temperature something tells me Outlaw didn’t even break a [...]

Mourning Michael Jackson

Bubbles was too distraught to comment.

As for me, I don’t get it.  I’d be more moved by the death of Emmanuel Lewis, another of the sad, creepy Jackson’s “dates.”

Jonah Goldberg gets it right:

Every cable network (including Fox, for the record) used the word “icon” to describe him as if this was some [...]

Troopathon 2009

Yesterday, Big Hollywood conducted a care-package drive for Troopathon 2009.  Many of their regular contributors told of their admiration for the troops, and some gold-star mothers described their mixture of grief and pride over their losses.

If you’d like to donate a care package for the men and women serving overseas, you can do so here.

Finally: A Post I Can Get Behind (all pun intended)

I was just trolling the waters at AceHQ when something caught my eye over in the “Previously on…” list.  It was my name, only not about me.  It’s some vengeance Ace was wreaking over Wonkette, all mixed in with gay Star Wars theories.

And it’s so disgusting and hilarious that I think I may have coughed [...]
