BTW- Rush had a good point today. Although Dems are trying to make hay over the Cheney-Halliburton non-story, remember who it was that made Cheney exercise his options when he did. That is right, it was the press and Democrats who made him sell then, so he would not have a conflict of interest.

Some people are so obnoxious,
Some people are so obnoxious, thick-headed, elitist, condescending, snide, and sure of their own superior intellect that it is just painful to read their fatuous proclamations. This jackass is one of those people.
Even worse, he is teaching the next generation of Guardian hacks.
One thing I do have
One thing I do have to comment on for today (other than I think the Lindh sentence is fair- that is really what the justice system is all about- some av erage schmoe like me can hear the sentence and say ‘That sounds reasonable” and then I can move on and not have to hear about the despicable prick or his wacky parents for 20 years). On MSNBC today, they actually had a debate titled (with the snazzy little graphics at the bottom of the screen) “Corporate Scandals- Is President Bush part of the solution or part of the problem?” The clear implication being that Bush and Cheney have done something wrong with Harken and Halliburton. I know you lefties like to lie and fool yourselves about bias in the media, but c’mon. The only thing dumber than expecting the President being able to talk the economy sound is blaming the President for these corporate scandals. Morons everywhere, I tell ya.
I have been uber busy
I have been uber busy the last few days. I finally completed my apartment move (I have a BED!!- No more futon), and now I am moving into my new office and getting things ready for the fall semester. I should resume daily posting, and not the sporadic weirdness (nothing for four days, then 35 posts, nothing for two days) in a week or so.
The Libertarian Samizdata has moved
The Libertarian Samizdata has moved to this address. They have a brand new beautiful site.
BTW- Just to let you know, I have contacted the gracious and talented Sekimori, and I should have my site re-designed and moved by Sept. 15th.
George Michael- Alec Baldwin with
George Michael- Alec Baldwin with Rhythym?
George Michael is a buffoon. That much we can be sure of. The NY Times is now reporting that he is also a paranoid idiot.
George Michael says he’s nervous to return to his home in the United States because of the criticism he’s received for his new song and video, “Shoot the Dog.”
I have not seen this, nor will I. I do not recall ever listening or watching anything by this simpering idiot except for some video with a bunch of hot models in various stages of undress. However, the coverage of this ‘political statement’ appears to unanimously agree that it is something akin to a Michael Moore statement with a drum beat.
“It’s been very heavily inferred that I was actually an al-Qaida sympathizer, that somehow I thought that there was something not horrific and shocking and undeserved about the attacks on September the 11th,” he said. “Americans are very reactionary right now, and I — because of that article — cannot return to America, even though my partner lives there.”
I just inferred that you were an idiot, if that helps to clear the air. Come on back, as we have plenty of room for idiots in the U.S. In fact, we adore them. How else can you explain Congress, the NY Times, Bud Selig, and all of Hollywood?
“I don’t think that there’s any real connection between what I’m saying (in the video) and the fact that I’m a gay man. But there’s a lot of connection in the press as to those two things,” Michael said.
No connection- except in the PRESS. Idiot or not?
“For some reason I don’t have a right to talk about anything because I got caught four years ago … in a Los Angeles toilet,” he said. “Somehow that eradicates all possibility that what I’m saying might be for the best, or is worthy of being discussed. I can’t fight that kind of homophobia.”
Michael was charged with lewd conduct in a Los Angeles public toilet in 1998. Soon after, he said publicly for the first time that he’s gay.
Since there is no connect to his homosexuality and his political opinions, Michael must now create one. Idiot. And puhhhleaze! A public bathroom? That is just gross- I don’t even touch public bathroom handles when avoidable, let alone being handled in a public bathroom.
Later, his career rebounded with the single and video “Outside,”
Never heard of it. Helluva rebound.
which poked fun at the police.
Mature retribution for his arrest, I am sure.
George Michael, Idiot Abroad.
Paging Ted Barlow (who has
Paging Ted Barlow (who has been all atwitter about Harken lately).
Read this. Oh yeah, and could someone tell me why the Democrats never brought this up during the election?
I can tell you why. Because McAullife and Daschle learned from Morris and Clinton (and by proxy, Hitler). Just repeat a lie often enough…
And no one from here better send Ted nasty emails. He is wrong on this issue, but otherwise is a damned good lefty and he runs a damned good blog.
