He was 73. I must have seen him tell the story of “Moose Turd Pie” a dozen times:

I saw “Sex and the City” and was very pleasantly surprised, because most of the reviews I’d seen said it was “eh.”
It wasn’t. It was fabulous. Go read NYCWeboy’s review.

Lance Mannion:
What I’m saying is that Obama managed to create the perception in the Media that he had already won the nomination long before he was even close to winning the nomination and that Clinton in continuing to campaign as if she still had a chance was being a vindictive and egomaniacal spoilsport.
With the help [...]

Is it wrong that I feel a little schaedenfreude about this story?
I mean, it *is* Fox.
OTOH, I’m a little disturbed that there are now bedbugs in office buildings. I’m going to be paranoid about every itch I have at work now.

May as well go straight back to the source. Sadly, Smokey’s group had only a slightly better relationship with singing and playing in tune than the Beatles did covering the tune. I don’t think either of them were going for tone clusters. Shit happens. Nevertheless, it’s a decent tune and Smokey sounds great.

I hadn’t thought about this tune in years, but Susie’s post directly below made me remember a little. I probably haven’t heard the Beatles version since I was about 16. Awesome lyrics to accompany teenage melodrama.

Oy. Those cats couldn’t play or sing in to tune save their fucking lives in ‘62. Brutal medicine.

Alright, it looks as though my example was a flop. Let’s try this again.
Now I wasn’t at Senator Clinton’s speech in Detroit, but if I were and I’d heard her say she was going to “end the unfunded mandate known as No Child Left Behind,” my reaction would not have been “Oh my god! She’s [...]

As is often the case, it looks as though I wasn’t clear enough about why I thought Jeralyn’s post was so strange. Here is a small portion of Hillary Clinton’s March 19, 2008 speech in Detroit.
And we cannot continue the moral outrage and the economic calamity of having a health care system that doesn’t cover [...]

What happened to Jeralyn? She wasn’t always like this, was she? She seems understand what an executive order is, who can issue them and who can rescind them. Surely, she understands that Presidents can ask congressional allies to submit legislation and regularly do so. Did the word “decision” trip her up? Does she expect, or [...]

I can’t believe the IRS hasn’t looked into this church’s tax-exempt status yet.
Well, live by the sword, die by the sword, I guess. The only reason I know who this guy is at all is that Obama made his church membership and his relationship with his spiritual mentors part of his sales package. [...]

In Oregon, legal medical marijuana patients are denied liver transplants, but in California the FBI assisted Japanese gang members - hard core criminals - in getting visas so that they can get liver transplants. No word whether they moved them up on the list, but one guy was in the country [...]

I’ve been filled with a certain dread over the last half hour or so. I keep picturing little Scottie McClellan making a tearful apology for writing all those mean words. John Stossel is there. So is his mustache. Hilarity ensues.
Before you dismiss me as insane, please keep in mind that I have a track [...]

It seems cruel that we’ve had to endure the first and second terms of rotten and that in order to bring it all to a close, we have to endure what is shaping up to be the stupidest election ever. I expect that every few weeks or so, McCain is going to challenge [...]

Why weigh on a sunny day?
I won’t beat this dead horse any more, other than pointing out that you shouldn’t take seriously an argument about statistics from someone who “weighs” data, rather than “weights” it. (No joke, “weighed” or “unweighed” appears exactly 27 times in the analysis. Not a typo!)
Now I can’t get this song [...]

In comments yesterday, while attempting to explain something fairly obvious to a person with comprehension problems, I wrote that every member of the media establishment could have Chomsky sitting on their bedside table and it really wouldn’t make much of a difference. The content is king, and the content is not liberal.
Now this doesn’t [...]

I’m glad to see this.
If elected president, Democratic White House hopeful Barack Obama said one of the first things he wants to do is ensure the constitutionality of all the laws and executive orders passed while Republican President George W. Bush has been in office.
Those that don’t pass muster will be overturned, he said.

Michelle Malkin, keeping America safe from the scourge of Rachael Ray and her terrist scarf:
Dunkin’ Donuts pulled a television spot featuring talk show host and Food Network personality Rachael Ray this weekend after a Fox news commentator associated it with terrorists.
In the ad, Ray is wearing a scarf that Michelle Malkin said in her nationally [...]
