No Cats here – just Dogs…and more Dogs.

Beer and wine samples. Our clever Washington State Legislature, who can’t seem to pass a decent DUI law, now wants to enact legislation allowing grocery stores and like establishments to pass out booze samples. Yes, now you’ll be able to go to Costco, or Safeway, KMart or Walmart and partake of a few samples of the newest barley and hops, then get in your car and drive away.

Brilliant.

As the NHL considers canceling the rest of the season, these two got their goodbye’s in a little early.

There are few things in the world that are worse than NAMBLA. Thank God the FBI has agents trolling the Internet looking for this excrement.

Not for the faint of heart.

Cheney’s daughter goes up a pay grade (or two).

Jeez. They just don’t get it.

Hardblogger, Mike Moran, commenting on the recent Eason Jordan fall from grace:

“But this latest instance of demonstrates the dangers of combining the unfettered, unaccountable blogosphere with “main stream” journalism institutions that react slavishly to share prices and are suffering through crises of confidence (ala CNN) or integrity (ala The New York Times and CBS). While it remains unclear if Jordan jumped or was pushed from his Atlantan heights, what is clear is that CNN is a lesser place without him, and the quality of political debate in the United States will likely deteriorate further, as well.”

The rest of the article is just more of the same. Bloggers=evil. Jordan? A hapless victim of the “Taliban of the American Media”.

Looks like the blogosphere will continue babysitting the MSM for quite awhile.

Yes.

“The moral of the story: the media can’t just cover up the truth and expect to get away with it – and journalists can’t just toss around allegations without substantiation and expect people to believe them anymore.”

First, let me say one thing. I Love My Wife.

<Risk On>
Thinking about this for a moment, I have to say – Karol, you’re right.

Did I mention that I Love My Wife?

From the UK Telegraph op-ed page:

“The ugly blight of Oscarphobia has yet to be entirely eradicated, and it is difficult for many otherwise ordinary homosexuals – when in their teens they first find themselves struggling with frightening and unnatural urges to stay up late and watch a bunch of phony old actors congratulating themselves on being rich – to share, except with the closest intimates, their feelings about who looked best on the red carpet. Their eyes may swell with answering tears as they watch Gwyneth Paltrow blub; but these are tears they choose not to shed in public. These people deserve our sympathy, not our condemnation.”

The thought that someone, or even a group of people, have this issue on the top of their “must be concerned about this” list is unbelievable.

God help them.
