Update: Jill at WLST has a similar take (though less direct).
In her sickening tirade against anti-war actress Sally Field, Michelle Malkin indicates that she believes that there are sheep moms and lion moms. I have to admit that to a certain point, I agree with her. Some moms are […]

Last night was a GOP “Value Voters” debate. Phyllis Schlafly, Roy Moore, Paul Weyrich, Don Wildmon, Rick Scarborough, and Janet Folger were all in attendance, and Joseph Farah, the founder of WorldNetDaily, moderated. McCain, Guiliani, Romney and Thompson all refused to attend.
Here’s the opening “re-envisioning” of “God Bless America”, performed by the Church […]

State Rep. Shannon Jones (R) introduced HB 314 yesterday- another crap, anti-choice bill aimed at whittling away at women’s reproductive rights in Ohio by extending our state’s already-restrictive laws on abortion.
The sad part is, two Democrats co-sponsored the thing: Matthew H. Barrett (D-Amherst) and L. George Distel (D-Conneaut).
Come on boys, get with the program!
Here’s what […]

This is a sneak preview of tonight’s PB Late Night Theater entry. This is a clever, creative homemade video for Daft Punk’s song “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.” It starts a bit slow (and silly), but stick with it. By the end, this might make your top ten list of coolest things you’ve […]

Atrios has a very interesting collection of related quotes; Greenspan on Iraq, Greenspan on Ayn Rand, and Rand on the white man taking land from American Indians. I’m not sure they are completely analogous, but the underlying similarity in attitude is unmistakable.

The Canton Rep is reporting that Bill Todd is suing the Columbus City Schools Board of Education “challenging whether students within each district being treated equally.”
His proof: half-assed, biased research from the highly-conservative Buckeye Institute.
Todd is quoted as saying “This whole thing is about public schools, and about making sure they work as efficiently […]

An atheist State Sentator - in Nebraska - is suing God. Presented in it’s entirety, mostly because I can’t figure out what to cut out. (Not only is this guy an atheist, but he doesn’t belong to a political party, and has been in office longer than I’ve been alive - and I […]

More fun videos for YouTube tuesday.
This one is actually from CNN and relates to this story:
A University of Florida student was Tasered and arrested after trying to ask U.S. Senator John Kerry about the 2004 election and other subjects during a campus forum.
Note: As soon as this kid started talking I was looking forward […]

Catching up on my blogfeeds, and I saw this over at BSB. I love it.

It’s funny ’cause it’s true. In a “laugh so you don’t cry” kind of way, of course.
(The answer to the title questions is, of course, “no”.)

I see what they were going for, but I have to say - this is entirely too visceral. The message - smoking kills a ton of people - is good. The imagery, maybe not. This was published 9/11/07, BTW.

I will say, however, that the sheer fact that this ad was published puts […]

I haven’t been able to get this song out of my head since I saw it on the ipod commercial.
So now the rest of you will have to happily suffer like I do- singing this song all day long. 1-2-3-4….

I was flipping through channels on the hotel TV when I found John Murtha on C-SPAN2.
As he was finishing up his prepared remarks he said the most logical and common-sense thing I’ve heard in a long time:
“They say ‘what happens if we leave’… I say ‘what happens if we stay’”
You tell ‘em John!

As I noted this weekend, the latest 2007 campaign finance data shows A LOT of money pouring in to the Ohio GOP.
And, not surprisingly, a great deal of it is coming from contributors with an interest in promoting and expanding Charter schools.
As per Jill’s suggestion, here is some information on three of the top charter-school […]
