Not Sure

Which part of compassionate conservativism this is:

The White House will seek to drastically shrink the Department of Housing and Urban Development's $8 billion community branch, purging dozens of economic development projects, scrapping a rural housing program and folding high-profile anti-poverty efforts into the Labor and Commerce departments, administration officials said yesterday.

People, get ready for the real President George W. Bush, and all his supposed political capital/mandate.

The Bush of the first 4 years "fought terror" and basically was running for reelection. You will now get a true taste of just how bad he can, and will be.

Aah, Florida

Nothing beats a place where 1 out of 3 women/girls under the age of 40 has a fake rack.

The best part about it is so many of them hang crosses from their necks, and usually it dangles down between the rack.

I'm sure Jesus would be all for the expanding of the rack for the sole purpose of attracting more people to have sex with you.

Sorry

Hey, I'm away, so posting will be bigtime light, unless someone else wants to take the reigns.

Best and Worst

Best Guy Ever.

Best Guy Ever.

Biggest Tool Ever.

As Andy pointed out, Joe Buck freaks out (and was ignored by co-hosts) over Randy Moss and his fake moon. Yet Joe Buck and Leon had no problem interrupting a Major League Baseball Playoff game for a commercial!

We can call this the Joe Buckwheat Episode.

Sad

It'd be nice if the Supreme Court justices responsible for not hearing this case were named in the article.

Pfff!

WEINISH: No he didn't!
TDerl: Yes he did.

Reuters:

A lawyer for Charles Graner, accused ringleader in the Iraq prisoner abuse scandal, on Monday compared piling naked prisoners into pyramids to cheerleader shows and said leashing inmates was also acceptable prisoner control.

"Don't cheerleaders all over America form pyramids six to eight times a year. Is that torture?" Guy Womack, Graner's attorney, said in opening arguments to the 10-member U.S. military jury at the reservist sergeant's court-martial.

Womack said using a tether was a valid method of controlling detainees, especially those who might be soiled with feces.

"You're keeping control of them. A tether is a valid control to be used in corrections," he said. "In Texas we'd lasso them and drag them out of there." He compared the leash to parents who place tethers on their toddlers while walking in shopping malls.

This is perfect example of "How to lose a case with the opening statement."

Film

I never thought it possible:

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 10, 2005--Topping off a stellar year in which her book How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale climbed onto The New York Times bestseller list, leading adult star Jenna Jameson was honored as Best Actress Film at the AVN Awards Show Saturday night (Jan. 8). Her husband and partner Justin Sterling won four awards, including Best Actor Film and their production company Club Jenna, won both the Best Video and Best Film awards at the Saturday night ceremony. It is the first time one studio has won in both film and video categories.

In accepting the Bella Loves Jenna Best Video award along with Sterling, Jenna noted that the honor proved that she and Sterling were right in believing that the horror and porn movie genres could be mixed if done well.

"We were astounded that the only two features we produced in 2004 won as best in their categories," said Sterling. "This is an unprecedented honor and it confirms our commitment to the quality of our product, not the quantity we release. It was a very good night for Jenna and me."

This is what they needed to make their jump to the O.C.

More on the S.S. Bullshit

George Will is retarded.

The Concord Coalition is not.

I'm not sure there's a group of democrats claiming Social Security is perfect, or doesn't need changing. However, Bush's proposal is to eliminate Social Security, and replace it with another program.

His proposal is financed through more debt, and is being sold, like everything else he does, falsely.

Higher Standards for the Press

So CBS cans 4 reporters for their "myopic zeal" with regard to President Bush's failure to complete his military service.

It's amazing they're not firing their entire News Department for reporting that Saddam Hussein had nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons.

I'm not sure if it's a sad thing, good thing, or both that our news media, or some outlets, have higher standards than the White House.

Newter

I wonder how much of his book on God is devoted to Gingrich cheating on his dying wife with a staff aide?

Former House speaker Newt Gingrich says he "got fed up with people who argue that somehow the concept of the creator wasn't central to how the Founding Fathers understood America." So in a book being published today, he includes a 19-page "Walking Tour of God in Washington, D.C.," cataloging references to the Bible, Moses and a heavenly father on the Capitol, monuments and memorials.

"In the last 30 years, you had this politically correct delegitimizing of God in American public life, which I think is a denial of the core of American civilization," he said in a telephone interview yesterday

Wow

I saw Million Dollar Baby and it blew. Twas not I alone that felt this way, but the person I saw it with and the couple behind me.

Yet somehow it wins awards.

It's Totally Safe!

How long before the Conservatives start telling us again that transferring nuclear waste across the nation by train is totally safe?
