Ann Coulter is indeed a truly despicable human being. Of course, I will gladly defend to the best of my abilities, to the death if need be, her right to ejaculate bile freely and unhindered.

Also, I've found that reading even a single paragraph of any of her myriad interviews, "editorials" or books is a great motivator to hit the punching bag or hop on the treadmill.

Perhaps Ann Coulter is the solution of our national weight crisis?

It just seems to me that RDM and staff are just making shit up week after week. They should take a page from the David Simon book on serial TV writing and arc the stories out years ahead of time (instead of two or three weeks before filming).

While on one hand, we might send Limbaugh and others over to Iraq to quash this insurgency by sitting on our enemies, I think on the other hand if we have Cargill and ConAgra export all that extra high-fructose corn syrup and McDonalds to the Middle-East, the enemies of freedumb will be keeling over with type-III diabetes and heart failure in no time -- perhaps sooner than we would ever be able to "win" the war on "terror" otherwise.

Makes bedfellows of Salon readers and Buchanan followers.

Of course, count me in. Its about time Israel stood up on its own and wiped its own ass. We have China and the rest of the world to worry about. If the members of a particular Abrahamic religion choose to keep asking for trouble in the middle-East, let them reap the consequences.

You will receive a friendly social call from agents working for the US Secret Service for any credible threat you make against presidents, past and present, presidential primary candidates, and a long list of next-in-liners including, probably to people on LGFs boards, Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

probably to people on LGFs boards

LGFs boards' chagrin

"..when the bloody Grey Poupon is in the icebox!"

After hearing that, about my own kitchen, I ceased chilling certain condiments, etcetera, needlessly. I already knew about tomatoes, thanks to Harold McGee; and I also refrigerate my Wheat Gluten Flour and Yeast (and, Heaven forbid, any anti-biotic I might be required to take). Huzzah.

If the government has nothing to hide, then what's the objection to recording interrogations?

The only motivation I can think of for interjecting that the recording of interrogation of terrorism or drug suspects in any way helps drug users, dealers or terrorists would be a pre-existing knowledge of impropriety on the part of the investigator. So, what do you know, and when did you know it, mona? m.b.f?

The philosophy that I have, that I think a self-respecting officer of the courts would share, is that law enforcement officials necessarily need to be held to a higher standard of scrutiny than their civilian counterparts. So, if civilians can be subject to constant, warrant-less surveillance then why not law enforcement?

..If Israel's policies towards Palestinians was changed, and Israel stopped violating international law and boards, 18-35 year olds would hold the nation of Israel in higher esteem.

Boarders, not boards.

Oh my God! My stoner boyfriend from high school wrote the season finale of "Battlestar Galactica"!

How did that happen? Why did Ronald D. Moore take a break and hand over responsibility for the finale to a guy who spent most of his time doing shots of Bacardi 151 Rum and noodling Hendrix on his guitar?

Holy cow, was his name Sean?

Kidding. The one thing I couldn't shake after that scene was wondering just what Cally's baby was? Cyloddler or Baltar love-child (it could happen)? I kept expecting Greg House to bust into her bunk and berate her into a tearful confession of a love affair, and to limp out, down the hall, scornfully telling Cameron "I told you it wasn't Lupis!"

Are the TWoP forums frakking online yet?

Will someone please re-do that ridiculous BSG finale to the version of Tears for Fears' "Mad World" that appears in Donnie Darko? The one by Gary Jules? Please post YouTube URL to Video Dog..

Seriously.. what the hell?

What is it that Canada is giving our government in the United States that makes people like me want to flee the country?

Or, has the U.S. bought off Canada on the gambit that once the affluent liberals are gone, then the en masse slaughter of poor people (brown, black) can be done without the interference of our "votes" and "democratic ideals?"

Am I over-reacting? This country is starting to bear little resemblance to the United States of America I learned about in AP History. Maybe I just went to a high school that was too liberal ("reality based").

As long as you are playing that game:

I've been following the comments, asked a couple of questions, and so far this looks like good old conservative bashing. I've seen nothing positive, just another bitchfest.

You folks might want to consider, that unless you offer something better, authoritarianism is the only game in town.

Okay.. fair enough. Let me propose this, then; authoritarianism provides easy answers to complex problems. Easy answers work, for a while. Then, after time passes, those easy answers start to fall apart.

Well, if you an authoritarian, I can see the viewpoint that criticizing authoritarian views can seem negative. I see it differently. I see accepting those views as counter-productive when those views fail to pan out in the real world. I see criticizing those views as the first step in creating a realistic critical dialog which may bear the fruit of realistic solutions.

To put it in terms you might grasp: authoritarian = concise, clear, brief and direct solutions to problems; liberal = measured, weighed, diplomatic and academic solutions to problems.

As for bashing conservatives -- please, are you kidding me? The current administration bears little or no resemblance to anything traditionally "conservative."

fuckin'. said.
