"Gee...what is my favorite flavor of ice cream?"
What use is it to parody the ridiculous? I've been thinking about
our namesake today.
I've stopped trying to parody her because, too often, the things she says are
beyond satire. I can't make a joke so stupid that Ann Coulter hasn't already beat me to it. Democrats
are traitors. Liberals
are evil. Dissent is
not American. That kind of comedy is hard to follow, ya know?
(Speaking of comedy, that Coulter quote page is worth a look if for nothing else than the editor's response to one particular lunatic utterance: "Does this woman have sand in her vagina or something?" Had I been drinking coffee, it would have spurted out my nose.)
I stand by my original supposition: Ann Coulter is a classic psychopath. She does what she does and says what she says because other people are not real to her. Everyone outside of Ann Coulter's skin is a meat puppet; an object to be manipulated to get what Ann wants. Who cares if liberals are dehumanized, so long as it brings Ann Coulter fame and power? They were never human in the first place.

Dear [recipient name was inserted here],
Please oppose the nomination of Miguel Estrada to the Federal Bench. We
have enough dangerously unqualified people in office already. Estrada is
an extremist, and George W. Bush only nominated him as a sop to the
hispanics, and so the GOP could pretend to care about "diversity." Thank
you.
Sincerely,

Changing the links around...
Raymi The Minx is an...
interesting blog. For grownups, though. Don't go there if you are allergic to nudity or tales of drug-addled self destruction.
Time to update the links again. Looks like the Political Shithead Awards web page has
gone away. Too bad, 'cause it was funny stuff.
Well, I started writing something on Saturday, about the Columbia, but deemed it not worth reading. If only Fox News would practice such restraint.
If you don't read TalkLeft, you should start. It's a smart, well-written and nicely formatted blog. Top shelf stuff.
Tom over at the The Funny Farm is running an outstanding 'toon from Xoverboard. MediaWhoresOnline should pick this one up... Dick Cheney (R. - If I Only Had a Heart) was the opening speaker at the 30th annual CPAC. To quote Obi Wan Kenobi, you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
It seems the freeper element was in full bloom at this year's conference, selling fun items like t-shirts that said "no muslims, no terrorism." How quickly we forget the IRA...
Speakers at this orgy of right-think included Ann Coulter, Gary Adlrich, Pat Buchanan.
And Chris Matthews....
See the list for yourself.
Will Cheney take any heat for appearing at such a hateful, partisan affair? Don't hold your breath. In the meantime, I think we need to find the text of Chris Matthew's speech at CPAC. Or maybe he was just there to get his programming updated.
