Oh, remember the good old days, when Democrats gathered in public places and hurled venom at George W. Bush and his cabal. They are long gone for Democrats, who are increasingly canceling town hall meetings due to invasions by tea-party types and those upset with health care and spending. Screaming constituents, protesters dragged out by the [...] Elizabeth Gates is the daughter of now infamous Henry Gates, that seer of racial hegemony. The Gates offspring is a graduate of The New School for Social Research. I add that, because I once sent a query to the New School about possibly attending, though I was living in BFE, Ohio, just to see if [...] Wannabe career politician Ben Konop, who is traversing the state of Ohio in all manners trying to find locations that will actually vote him into office, gets an audience he deserves. Share on Facebook Oh the fun one can have with Auto-TUne software and a green screen… Share on Facebook This is what happens when ESPN Page 2’s Patrick Hruby leaves his politics at the door — awesome stuff! The only good Ewok is a dead Ewok.
DE-GENIUS ADDENDUM Share on Facebook Here is a great story from The Weekly Standard (its cover story) on the resurgence of the cocktail – and not the sugary concoctions that pass for cocktails — the liberal versions. The cocktail is a lovely simple thing: a mixture of spirits and flavorings that whets the appetite, pleases the eye, and stimulates the mind. [...] David Ortiz… tested positive for ‘roids in 2003. Hmmmm…. when did Ortiz begin his home run tear? Why…. it was 2003. The Oritz, Ramirez …..Red Sox are now the Black Sox Redux — cheaters — right Mike? Share on Facebook I found this article by Stephen Hunter at Commentary Magazine on the real Bonnie and Clyde vs. the film versions and the larger cultural ramifications of their glorification…. Here’s a couple of different tastes, but go read the whole thing here. The squalid ambush that ended their careers in 1934 disappeared down the collective memory [...] With Senator Chris Dodd trailing Rob Simmons, his likely opponent in the 2010 election, by 9 points in the latest Quinnipiac poll, he certainly doesn’t need any more bad news. It’s too bad for him, then, that the Associated Press has reported on the testimony of Robert Feinberg, who met with the Senate Ethics Committee in secret hearings. Feinberg [...] Share on Facebook This is Daniel Whitney before he started gettin’ her done as Larry Share on Facebook Mark Steyn had this to say at The Corner on Tuesday: Rep. John Conyers can’t see why lawmakers should read the laws they make. What’s the point? They wouldn’t understand ‘em anyway: “I love these members, they get up and say, ‘Read the bill,’” said Conyers. “What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you [...] An absolute keystone in fixing health care is tort reform. Republicans have pushed this for years, to little success, due to most politicians happen to be lawyers, who are paid exorbitantly by other lawyers to protect their own interests, all under the guise of “the little guy.” Hot Air linked to this IBD editorial today on [...] I never thought I’d ever see a headline like this one from USA Today: "White Males Hardest Hit" But if you read the story, the headline is only true in a certain sense. It turns out that older white males have a lower unemployment rate than most other groups. They are “hurt more by this recession” [...] In honor of Watchmen’s release on DVD, here’s my review of the film back in March. ———————————– Who watches the Watchmen? In some ways, the question should be who would want to. Nihilistic beyond nihilistic, Zack Snyder’s adaption of Alan Moore’s 80s graphic novel is a visual piece of art, examining the sordid entrails of the human condition. [...] The New York Post’s Kyle Smith, friend of Threedonia, talks up Quinton Tarantino’s World War II yarn “Inglorious Basterds.” Lets hope so, this summer needs some firepower. … blew the doors off the room in its first New York City screening yesterday. What. A. Movie. Smith says the film has a solid chance at some Oscar noms.
It’s no Chris Rock Chia afro, but still should go great with the adoring fan’s $20 collector plate…
Share on Facebook Share on Facebook New York City has hit upon an interesting way to combat homelessness — or at least part of its problem — by buying one-way tickets home for families willing to leave and who show up at shelters. “I didn’t expect the city to be the way it is,” said Hector Correa, who was in a homeless [...] Soon-to-retire U.S. Senator George Voinovich, has found the problem with the Republican party. It isn’t the message, it isn’t the corruption – it’s the southerners. “We got too many Jim DeMints (R-S.C.) and Tom Coburns (R-Ok.). It’s the southerners. They get on TV and go ‘errrr, errrrr.’ People hear them and say, ‘These people, they’re southerners. [...] Maybe this’ll rouse the Threedonia troops. If nothing else, we can all bitch about ‘roid-rage Clemens … Share on Facebook Movieguide’s Dr. Ted Baehr braves the occasionally bawdy RF3D waters for show number 16. Sorry, almost forgot we’re on Roman standard here — XVI. Turning in one of the few positive reviews of Terminator Salvation, Dr. Baehr also relates a recent development in which the New York Times endorsed his conservative and values-based Movieguide. Yes, [...] John Stossel’s Take has been added to the blogroll. It’s only been around for a few weeks, but it’s a site I visit every day. (With ABC continuing to delay airing his health care story, it may be the only place to hear from him on the topic.) Andrew Price’s blog, Commentarama, is an amazingly well-written daily treat. [...] I like Joe Biden. Any stand up comedian worth his salt… wouldn’t even have to hire writers with this guy around… Here’s Joe on Russia — you know the country Obama visited a couple fo weeks ago so we could have a “reset” of our relationship after that Cowboy Neanderthal (aka Homo Selectus [...] With the census coming up again next year, USA Today has an article about the difficulties in getting an accurate count: A review of the 2000 Census revealed that for the first time in history, the count was actually too high. It took two years to nail down the scope of the problem: About 10.2 million [...] That poor asshole Hank Skippy Gates. Only you can prevent Harvard faculty asshole profiling. Share on Facebook Patriot Bill Maher, responding to a question from CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, on whether Sarah Palin had a political future. Share on Facebook The world of racial and sexual politics is a small one. Lucia Whalen, the woman who called 911 to report the alleged break-in at Henry Gates’ house is represented by Boston lawyer and noted news personality Wendy Murphy. One wonders, once you enter elite legal, political or media circles, what it takes before your colleagues kick [...] Here’s another fascinating article (I’m on a roll even if no one comments on them) about CSI from Popular Mechanics. Did I say fascinating? I meant sobering and a bit scary. The faulty identification that sent Brown to prison for 15 years may seem like a rare glitch in the U.S. criminal justice system. [...] I’m more of a Powerage guy myself, but hard to deny the greatness of Highway to Hell. Three months to record, too. Not bad for “Mutt” Lange … “We just want to make the walls cave in and the ceiling collapse. We all have always shared a common belief that music is meant to be played [...] "Please don't ask where this finger's been." OK, so it’s based on a totally non-scientific survey, but till the first kickoff in September, I take what I can get. Coach Paterno’s 2007 football delinquents could not be reached for comment. Ditto the Nittany Lion mascot. Share on Facebook Saw this at BLACKFIVE The big wheels generally don’t make it out to the hinterlands where I’m at (several state governors did visit a few weeks ago, but that’s been about it)…so it was interesting to see that an actual “Hollywood Star” darkened the door of Camp Liberty and held the bridle of old “Trigger” (he [...] Here’s another fascinating article on the Israeli Mossad and its abandonment of the search for Mengele due to more pressing needs. Highly interesting… Nazi war criminals, exploding Egyptians, and Orthodox kidnappers! “I might have thought about Mengele for 10 minutes,” said Meir Amit, the celebrated chief of Israel’s Mossad from 1963 to 1968. Amit, who died [...] As if Threedonians needed any exhortation to stay out of jail…. Here however is a fascinating piece by Heather MacDonald at City Journal on jails in general and Rikers Island in particular. She highlights the problems of mentally ill offenders, the transitory nature of jail inmates (and the difference from prion inmates), inmate [...] The BBC reports on an on-going massacre in Nigeria. Dozens of people have been killed after Islamist militants staged three attacks in northern Nigeria, taking the total killed in two days of violence to 150. Some of the militants follow a preacher who campaigns against Western schools. The preacher, Mohammed Yusuf, says Western education is against Islamic teaching. The [...] "I am large! I contain multitudes!" Joe Biden had an op-ed piece in the New York Times yesterday, in which he claimed that: …the nature of the Recovery Act remains misunderstood by many, and misconstrued by others: critics have suggested that the entire $787 billion is being spent on pet programs.
