Getting Ridiculous

Apparently Sony has spent $100,000 to digitally remove a Kabbalah bracelet from Ashton Kutcher’s wrist in an upcoming movie. The story is test audiences found it really annoying. <blank stare> Good grief. Who was their test audience? The 700 Club? They’re probably the only people not wearing a Kabbalah bracelet who even know what [...]

Curioser and Curioser

Much continues to be said as Terri Schiavo’s time on this earth grows short. Some of it I agree with. Some of it I do not. As arguments grow more impassioned, it seems that we have indeed left the real world and entered a realm of bizarre fantasy.
One editorial in the WSJ raises the right’s [...]

To be or not to be…

The recent media frenzy over Terri Schiavo has me thinking a lot about the issue. There is only one thing that is absolutely clear to me: Congress has absolutely no business whatsoever getting involved in what should be a personal and private matter. I’m extremely cynical when it comes to the efficacy of government, and [...]

Royalty

The passenger cabin was being served by an obviously gay flight attendant, who seemed to put everyone in a good mood as he served them food and drinks.
As the plane prepared to descend, he came swishing down the aisle and announced to the passengers, “Captain Marvey has asked me to announce that he’ll [...]

Dolphins, Penguins and Ducks! Oh, my!

Andrew Sullivan pointed me to an article on homosexual, necrophiliac ducks. I’ll let you read the account, witnessed by a researcher in the Netherlands for yourself. The apparently recent discovery of homosexuality among animals has been used by opponents and proponents alike. Homosexuals point to the evidence of homosexual pairs in the animal kingdom as [...]

Please, no! Anything but that!

I was reading today about Bush’s proposal to trim back farm subsidies, particularly to cotton growers. Apparently in today’s world market it is impossible for cotton growers in the U.S. to make a profit. According to the article:

Without the safety net, some analysts contend, many of the 25,000 U.S. cotton growers would switch to crops [...]

Totally Missed the Point

Ann Coulter has posted two columns in a row about “liberal gay bashing.” All she has managed to do is demonstrate how completely clueless she and other conservatives are and how completely they miss the point.
Ann seems to think that talking openly about someone’s sexuality is demeaning to the person in question. Her first example [...]

Drawing Lines

The Supreme Court has ruled that execution of minors is unconstitutional. This has, of course, elicited the usual “activist judges” cry from the left. Honestly, I’m not really sure how I feel on the subject. I tend to think that the “they don’t know any better” argument is horseshit. There may be something to the [...]

The Perfidy of Dreams

I had and interesting experience this morning. I was dreaming that I had gone over to a friend’s house and was hanging out watching TV with some other guys. One of these fellows, the only one I remember having an identity, was a guy on my swim team. We’ll call him Ralph. The evening wore [...]
