I swear that when I saw this, I thought I was reading the Onion.
"In the press galleries at the convention, journalists wrinkled their noses in disgust when Piper, Ms. Palin’s youngest daughter, was filmed kitty-licking her baby brother’s hair into place." I don't think I really grasped how deep the cultural divide really is until I read this article. It's a perfect example of a media elitist simultaneously getting it and not getting it.
Lost amid the Palinmania, interesting news from Waziristan.
The real truth about Talihook.
And finally, one more that I could've sworn was parody. You think we've got it bad with the PC police in THIS country?
P.S. I'm actually blogging over at my place again... - FbL

Well this made my day! MSNBC says Olbermann, Matthews won't anchor.......h/t Jonah at the Corner. I am hoping it's because MSNBC realized how peeved I was. - Maggie

Making good on a debt incurred 42 years ago in the A-Shau valley - "Thanks".
And, channeling Dusty in his post below - John Hawkins of Right Wing News comes back to the fold, if with a hint of resistance. -the Armorer

*A term of art from the artillery. Harassment and Interdiction Fires. Back in the day, when you could just kill people and break things without a note from a lawyer, they were pre-planned, but to the enemy, random, fires at known gathering points, road junctions, Main Supply Routes, assembly areas, etc - to keep the bad guy nervous that the world around him might start exploding at any minute. Not really relevant to today's operating environment, right? But, it *is. The UAVs we fly over Afghanistan and Pakistan looking for targets of opportunity are a form of H&I fires, if you really want to parse it finely. We just have better sensors and fire control now. Of course, now I have to call them UAS's, because someone got a Legion of Merit for the name change.Anyway, I call the post H&I Fires because it's random things posted by me and people I've given posting privileges to that particular topic. Another term of art that might be appropriate is Free Fire Zone.
Heh. The commercials are the only reason to watch Euro TV to begin with...
Perhaps a picture of the product, but no human beings allowed on the packaging.
In fact, all packaging should be generic.
And all scripts submitted to MEP Svensson's office, 6 months in advance, at a minimum, for approval and mark-up.
Owhell, it's a socialist paradise, just ban advertising altogether.
And make everybody, male or female, wear the hijab, with the face fully covered, and everybody has to speak through voice-coders that mask the gender of the speaker.. That will no doubt improve life for women immensely and make the EU a paradise of equality.
*His* McCain???? I don't think so! He is *MY* McCain and I have the blog posts at my place to prove it.
Talk about a blunder!
