As always my Tuesday tribute to Miss Comet herself (if you don't know what that's about - believe me you probably don’t want to know, if your brave enough to take read this whole posting), Ann Coulter. This is a reprint of an article that Salon.com and I have kept alive for all these years. Enjoy. Ann of a thousand lays Ten modest proposals to help Ann Coulter get a date. Editor's Note: Clinton-hating pinup girl, talk-radio poobah, George magazine columnist and possible congressional candidate Ann Coulter recently lamented that she was having trouble getting dates in the nation's capital -- a situation rendered even more poignant by a recent report in Glamour that "One in four D.C. dudes expects to do the nasty on date No. 1, the highest percentage of any city surveyed." Herewith, as part of Salon's attempt to promote national reconciliation and sexual healing, we offer some tips for Ms. Coulter. - - - - - - - - - - - - By Thor Hesla June 25, 199

The new trailer for the Dixie Chicks Documentary (which is causing new calls of censorship), I'm sure your all looking forward to it.

Sunday Politicking (10/29/06)

In keeping with the new tradition of Sunday Morning Politics, I want to take the time to go over key house races today. Therefore it's only right that I take the time out and make sure that every nook and cranny is covered. But… there are some problems. Problem 1, is that most great Congresspeople are leaving the House of Commons for the most prestiguous House of Lords (that's the Senate for all you non-anglophiles out there) Problem 2, House Races are BOOORING! - Who are these people? Do I really care who is winning in the 22 nd district of Florida, should I even know who's running? NO! So how about this – I give you the link, let you look at it for yourself, and make up your own snarkly comments about these millioniares in waiting. The Coolest Political Map & Link Ever Made! If your lucky, I'll have more after the Heads stop Talking.

Everbody Hates Ned Flanders

Written & Performed - Homer Jay Simpson Everybody in the USA, Hates their stupid neighbor, He's Flanders and he's really, really laaaaame, Flanders tried to wreck my song, His views on birth control are wrong, I hate his guts and Flanders is his name F-L-A-N-R-D-S! He's the man that I hate best, I'd like to see his house go up in flames. F-L-A! His name is Ned! E-R-S! It's a stupid name, he's worse than Frankenstein or Dr. No. You can't upset him even slightly, He just smiles and nods politely, Then goes home and worships nightly, His leftorium, is an emporium, of woe. F-L-A! Don't yell at Ned, D-E-R! His wife is dead, Everybody hates that stupid jerk. Springfield rocks with Homer's joyous loathing, Filling clubs with angry valentinos. You don't have to move your feet, Just hate Flanders to the disco beat, He's your perky peppy nightmare neighborino. If you despise polite left-handers, Then I doubt you'll like Ned Flanders, Or his

What happended to good ol' American Revolt?

While watching my newest Netflix delivery (that the mailman didn’t break in half trying to stuff in my mailbox) something occurred to me tonight. The movie was Network, the 1976 Oscar winning film for Faye Dunaway, Peter Finch*, Beatrice Straight and Paddy Chayefsky. The immortal words of Finch’s character Howard Beale, “I’m mad as Hell; and I’m not going to take it any more” keep ringing in my head. However, it’s not only those words in that line that sticks out and leads me into introspection this morning. It’s the words that come before and after in subsequent scenes that really ring true in my head. Words like… “And woe is us! We're in a lot of trouble!! So, a rich little man with white hair died. What does that got to do with the price of rice, right? And why is that woe to us; Because less than 3 percent of you people read books”. Because less than 15 percent of you read newspapers. Because the only truth you know is what you get over this tube (television). Right n

NEW TOYs - Sharp LCD's (Reveiw to Follow)

Sharp, a worldwide leader in flat-panel Liquid Crystal Display Televisions (LCD TV), is advancing beyond the competition once again with the introduction of the first models ever produced in a generation 8 LCD factory. Today, Sharp announced two new widescreen, full-HD 1080p AQUOS® sets in new screen sizes, 46-inch (LC-46D62U) and 52-inch (LC-52D62U), produced at Sharp's groundbreaking new LCD plant, Kameyama No. 2. The Kameyama No. 2 plant began production operation in early August and will enable Sharp to build the most advanced flat-panel televisions in the world, and also help to meet the growing demand for competitively-priced large-screen high-definition (HD) LCD TVs in the U.S. Sharp's new D62U models feature a dramatically enhanced black level, producing a breathtaking picture quality that is second to none, and an elegant, new, fluid design that redefines the standard for flat-panel display. "With our new state-of-the-art factory, Sharp is advancing the LCD indu

Do you remeber your First Time?

I just noticed something - Are my posts somewhat “left-leaning”? Come on don’t be shy, tell me. Do I sound like Angela Davis’ and Howard Dean’s love child? I don’t want to; really, I want to take this timeout to stress that, the GOP is not entirely filled with alcoholic pedophiles, which would rather line their pockets with our money, than use our money to better our lives. I don’t want to say that. People like Lincoln Chaffee, Tom Coburn, Jon Kyl, Kay Bailey Hutchinson (meow), and John McCain are not bad people. They don’t do bad things, or say even sadder things. These are the good ones. Along with many more - heck, look at, Al D’Amato . It’s just that the GOP like the Dam’s need housecleaning. Heck, I’ll be just as happy seeing Rick Santorum leave, as I was seeing Cynthia McKinney get her walking papers (thank you, Georgia ). The people in those states need to use the constitution power that our fore-uncles gave us, and use it to clean the spiders from the corners. So please don&#

Sunday Politics Round-Up (Senate)

Being a New Yorker transplanted in a place with no voting rights (DC), has always lead me to my most consuming addiction; Politics. So here is the wrap-up for Sunday October 22, 2006 (I’m we’ll all look back and laugh, in 18 days when I’m proven correct) My Predication (YES, it counts) - Democratic Wins - Senate - 8, and a healthy beating for Katherine Harris) New York - Clinton v. Spencer. Yeah right, Hilly’s going to take this guy to woodshed. Anyone with a half-a-brain knows you can’t win in New York when you make the “mistake” of calling Italian’s - “goombahs”. Then you have the gall to father one kid with an aide, while being married to someone else. Any good Republican knows if you going to bang the mail-room intern you got to’ wrap it up. Who does this guy think he is Strom Thurmond? Minnesota - Kennedy v. Klobuchar. Klobuchar is a LOCK! I’m not sure how many other watched these two duke it on Meet The Press last week, but I do remember saying to myself over and over again

Procrastination!

I have to say as with most things in life, I'm late. I learned about bloggerspot and blogger nearly 6 years ago, and yet this is my first foray into the land of "online journaling". I know what your thinking, what a procrastinating bum, right? Well maybe, I had nothing interesting to say, ever think of that... (as if I'm some sort of fountain of wisdom nowadays). Well in any case your right. So I'm thinking this will be my place to share thoughts and highlights of my otherwise mudane (albiet excitingly so) life with the world. So heeeeerrrrrreeeee we go... enjoy
