Laura Ingraham: Of Thee I Zing
August 26, 2011
Okay. This is the third, and last, of this woman’s books that I’ve tried to read. The jury is in: harpy.
I tried, and I hate to give up on a book I’ve started. Though I disagree with her on some social issues, I’m generally aligned with her. O’Reilly trusts her with his show when he’s out. She’s easy on the eyes. But this woman is so uptight it almost defies metaphor. The next Ann Coulter (whose surprisingly enjoyable if infrequent wit Ingraham unsuccessfully tries to emulate) will be a delight to read after this.
I could have saved myself a lot of trouble by reminding myself that she converted to Catholicism. Did you hear me? Converted to Catholicism; made a conscious decision, as a rational adult, to adopt this system of beliefs over whatever alternatives she was considering. That should have clued me in. That, and the fact that the excellent Dinesh D’Souza evidently dumped her not too far from the altar.
But noooo, I wasted several hours of my life reading parts of these three turds. I can be forgiven only because I’m a library guy, and put no money in her, and by extension almost certainly the Vatican Bank’s, pocket in doing so.
Can’t I? Please?
“Special” Ed Is At It Again…
August 18, 2011
“Special” Ed Schultz is at it again. Now, if Perry had said that “these are dark days in the White House, blacker than we’ve seen in a coon’s age, and we must not be niggardly in our efforts to end them,” I could buy it. But this is a load of shit.
Excellent idea, asshole.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, etc…
July 3, 2011
A quick review of Eva Gabrielsson’s “There Are Things I Want You To Know” About Stieg Larsson And Me.
(Stieg’s the late genius who wrote the astounding Millennium Trilogy—Dragon Tattoo, Played With Fire, Hornet’s Nest; Eva was his common law wife)
Yeah, there are some things she’d like you to know, alright. Here they are:
1. She is the most victimized and persecuted woman in human history.
2. All evil in the world may be laid at the feet of white, male, right wing fascists and Nazis.
3. That evil which may later be discovered to be unattributable to fascists and Nazis may be reliably blamed on corporate boogeymen and other capitalists (who are probably fascists and Nazis too).
4. She was worried that when the U.S. intervened in Grenada, the entire population was in danger of being massacred by U.S. troops.
From the foreword (presumably approved by Ms. G): “Eva, tempered in the fires of adversity, is poised to write the final words of their (Stieg’s and her enemies’) fate and lead a dance on their graves.” She then goes on in the book to opine, with typical left wing liberal humility, that ”our (Steig’s and her) upbringing gave us a strong moral compass, a faculty doubtless more developed in us than it is in most people of our generation.”
Hmmm.
Save your time; don’t read it. You’re welcome

I want someone to declare a Non-Mother’s Day.
I grind my teeth about this more every year. For the last two weeks, I can’t download my e-mail or walk into a store without being assaulted by exhortations to buy this or that for “Mom.” Take Mom to brunch, get Mom a Kindle, get fabulous Mother’s Day deals at the office furniture outlet, blah blah blah.
I want a day for women who haven’t contributed to the exponential increase in population that will have this planet groaning under ten billion people by the end of the century. I want flowers for not dumping yet another flannelhead into the public education system at taxpayer expense (currently ten thousand bucks a year, give or take). I want a card for sparing the public yet another brace of unsupervised toddlers squealing and stampeding through the grocery or restaurant. I want a discount for not blocking the sidewalk with a double-wide stroller.
I want a promotional deal for not adding to the traffic jams caused by the exodus from soccer practice or the backup behind a discharging school bus. I want champagne for never imagining, not once, that the compensation for my failures, or the salvation of my marriage, lay in producing yet another human being to juggle the hot potato of my problems through life. I want a gift card for not lowering the collective intelligence of the entire human dialogue with squeally, inane public conversations with a repulsively sticky-faced infant.
I want an upgrade to first class for not believing the mere exercise of my biology made me something special. I want complimentary coffee for not nauseating people with the narcissistic details of sonograms. I want overdue-book amnesty for never blathering on about MY KID until anyone with an IQ higher than their heart rate wanted to cover their ears and scream. I want free admission to the movies for never erasing a man’s future by making him a father when he had other plans.
I want a twofer deal for not causing the destruction of more acres of other species’ homes. I want reserved orchestra seating for women who’ve had a tubal ligation. I want an end to the idea that reproduction is some kind of goddam achievement. It’s not as if human beings were in danger of extinction any time soon.
How about a nice Sunday in June?

…this may go on for quite a while.
As a recovering (it’s a lifelong chore) mackerel snapper (I get to call them that for the same reason only blacks are allowed to use the N word), I long for the day that institutional liability is successfully pursued in this matter. It has no doubt been the dirty little secret for centuries, and yet there seems to be a disturbing dearth of general public concern over it. The hypocrisy, denial, cover ups, and mind boggling legal machinations of Holy Mother Church (don’t you love that?), not to mention the crimes themselves, constitute the most despicable organizational corruption I can think of.
Where is the outrage?

McCain was making some thoughtful points regarding issues important to the matter at hand, and THIS is the response from the President of the United States? It was rude and unstatesmanlike, and it unilaterally dismissed a valid thread from one of this country’s longest serving legislators.
One gets the feeling that Obama has been waiting for a venue like this where he might be publicly seen to throw this obviously premeditated insult at McCain. And like a little kid who has learned a new cuss word, he thought it so clever that he just couldn’t hold it in any longer— it made no contextual sense. It exposes Obama for the increasingly overbearing, out of his league, and desperate-to-show-ANY-results naked emperor that he is, all the more so because of McCain’s good natured, tactful reply.

“But what the Democrats never understand is that Americans don’t really care what position you take, just stick with one. Just be strong. They’re not bright enough to really understand the issues. But like an animal, they can sort of sense strength or weakness. They can smell it on you.”—Bill Maher

Once Your Potential First Couple…
February 11, 2010
I suppose this is what might be expected of an Edwards: a bogus lawsuit. The husband made 60 million dollars suing people on the basis of what has been subsequently proven as largely junk science. Now it’s the wife’s turn.
She knew her husband was man-whoring around on her for years, and evidently didn’t care to address it. Perhaps all along she was willing to tolerate it for a shot at first lady (sound familiar?), a shot for which she demonstrably traded on her cancer. Nice. And if an awful lot of bamboozled people had had their way, she’d have succeeded.
Andrew Young, the prospective defendant, enabled both Edwardses. He took a phony paternity rap for John, and was his bimbo eruption (a term unknown until Bill Clinton came along; thanks, Mr. President) specialist, with Elizabeth’s tacit if not explicit approval. But what finally sent her into legal mode against Young was, in my opinion, not any of this; it was the unflattering portrait he paints of her in his book, The Politician. I won’t spoil the read for you. Keep in mind she’s not suing him for libel (and neither is John, so far), and that speaks for itself, but for “alienation of affection,” a grounds for legal action recognized in only a very few states.
Andrew Young is right. He should be scared. Because I don’t think this wolverine bitch takes prisoners.
