Or suffer the wrath of the passive-aggressive customer service rep.

I think Jeffery Scrotum Bag Barnes is a lovely name. What is that, Irish?

I'm tempted to call Paul Krugman mentally retarded, but I don't want to insult the mentally retarded.

Instead we shall refer to him as Cousin It.

Anyway, Cousin It's hatred of Republicans is only matched by his love of the French.

And as you might have guessed by now, they are both based upon lies and liberal lunacy.

Here is Cousin It's love letter to Froggystan.

Perhaps even more important, however, the members of that French family are compensated for their lower income with much more time together. Fully employed French workers average about seven weeks of paid vacation a year. In America, that figure is less than four.

Now here is reality delivering a bracing bitch slap to the side of his head.

With unemployment hovering at 10 percent, a growing number of French can no longer afford a traditional August getaway -- a summer ritual that symbolizes the good life a la francaise.

Donald Luskin does a great job of fisking his trash on a regular basis.

This just in from the Anti-Semitic dhimmis at the AP.

You might need a calendar for this one.

Ramzi Qabalawi, 55, a refugee in Lebanon since the 1948 founding of Israel, called the Gaza withdrawal "a great victory" for the Palestinians.

EON basically fired him.

We went through this once before. Actually, we've gone through this with every Bond before, because this is the Bond negotiation process. Actor says "Never again." EON says "Here's more money." Actor says "Okay, one more time."

Or EON says, "You're fired." Actor says, "Okay, I'll do it for 10% more than I did it for last time." EON says, "Okay, one more time."

Well, that didn't really happen with Lazenby (knocked way too hard for not being Sean Connery in his first and only outing) or Dalton (too weird-looking to be Bond; plus, the movies sucked).

But for Connery, Moore, and Brosnan, that has been the standard process.

So once again: Who will be the next Bond? Football Fans for Truth has some ideas.

Clive Owen at the top of the list, of course. Jeremy Northam, though? Too goofy. He'd be Timothy Dalton II.

Jason Stratham could do it; FFFT doesn't see him as comfortable in a ritzy casino, but that's what the tux is for, dude. Connery was, as Ian Fleming described him, "a Scottish lorry driver," without the aristocratic bearing he thought Bond should have. (Fleming, um, thought that David Niven would be the perfect Bond.)

But once Connery had the tux on, everything was copacetic.

Stratham basically auditioned for the role as Handsome Rob in The Italian Job. Wouldn't take much for him to learn an upper-class accent.

Iaon Gruffold is a good actor, but he's too young, too short, and too pretty.

Fun to talk about, I guess, but my prediction for the next Bond? Pierce Brosnan.

Unfortunately.

Brosnan On the Liberation From Bondage:

His departure from the role was a "titanic jolt to the system," says Brosnan, followed by "a great sense of calm."

"I thought. ... I can do anything I want to do now. I'm not beholden to them or anyone. I'm not shackled by some contracted image. So there was a sense of liberation."

...

He plays a foulmouthed, skirt-chasing hit man in the upcoming film "The Matador."

Wow. He's playing a skirt-chasing hitman in his next film? I'm glad to see him spread his wings and really fly away from the Bond image.

So far, Brosnan has played either Remington Steele (Thomas Crowne Affair, After the Sunset) or James Bond (Tailor of Panama) in most of his non-Bond roles.

Even in Mrs. Doubtfire he played Remington Steele, pretty much.

The guy's got all the thespianic range of an Andy Dick.

10. Why did you kill my son?

9. You had something to do with Natalie Wood's drowning, too, didn't you?

8. Is this war being fought on behalf of the Jews?

7. If not all of the Jews, is this war being fought on behalf of Ben Gazzarra?

6. Who do you think is cuter-- Brian Williams or Matt Lauer? I've had the chance to meet both gentlemen and I have to say that Brian Williams is more "classically" handsome, but there's something about Matt Lauer that makes me think he'd be a real tiger in bed. Your thoughts?

5. A follow-up: Do you have Charlie Rose's home phone number?

4. Why did you lie to us about Saddam Hussein's WMD's?

3. Seriously-- is there even a man named "Saddam Hussein," or was that just another neo-con lie?

2. Knopff is overing me a $250,000 advance against 15% of royalties, but Doubleday is offering $300,000 against 10%. What would you do in this situation?

...and the Number One "Question" Saint Cindy Sheehan Wants "Answered" By President Bush...

1. Would you mind moving? You're blocking my camera.

Main Entry: 1sac·ri·fice
Pronunciation: 'sa-kr&-"fIs, also -f&s or -"fIz
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old French, from Latin sacrificium, from sacr-, sacer + facere to make -- more at DO
1 : an act of offering to a deity something precious; especially : the killing of a victim on an altar
2 : something offered in sacrifice
3 a : destruction or surrender of something for the sake of something else b : something given up or lost
4 : LOSS
5 : SACRIFICE HIT

Sorry, but the concept of "voluntary" is implicit in "sacrifice." Casey Sheehan sacrificed his life to defend his country; Cindy Sheehan did not sacrifice anything. Indeed, she wanted to run him over with a car in order to get him injured and out of his military obligations.

A piece taken in chess is just a piece taken. It's only when you deliberately give up the piece to attain something else that it's a "sacrifice."

I'm not saying Casey was a chess-piece, for any barking moonbats who want to seize on that. I'm just giving another example of the common understanding of the word "sacrifice."

Cindy Sheehan suffered a loss. A great loss, one of the worst losses there is. But she didn't "sacrifice" anything. Sacrifice implies a voluntary giving up of something for the greater good.

It also implies heroism.

There is no heroism in losing a child to a car accident. Nor of losing a child to a war with which one strenously disagrees. As there is no voluntary decision to accept the loss, there is no heroism, whether physical, martial, or moral.

There may be heroism that comes after such an involuntary loss, as John Walsh displayed after losing his son to murder, and dedicating his life to getting fugitives identified and captured and locked up for a long, long time.

By the left's political lights, Cindy Sheehan may be exhibiting "sacrifice" and even "heroism" after having lost her son... but she did not display sacrifice nor heroism in losing her son originally. Neither did John Walsh.

Personally, I'm not sure what she's currently "sacrificing." I've always wanted to be a Media Darling myself, and I don't see how becoming one is all that strenuous or heroic an act.

She's being made fun of? Criticized? Having her motives questioned? Well, by that definition, George Bush must be a goddamned hero himself.

So please-- can it.

Words have meanings. If you're not sure of the meaning of a word, I would refer you to www.m-w.com, which has a lot of easily-searchable definitions. Sort of like what I like to call a "dictionary."

Definition 4: Yes, it does appear that "loss" appears on the list. The definitions of words sometimes expand, based on usage.

So I guess some do use the word "sacrifice" to sometimes simply mean a loss.

In which case I'm not sure why one wouldn't just say "loss."

In any event, the word "sacrifice" with regard to Cindy Sheehan is being used by the left to imply the normal, more common definition of the word-- a voluntary offering of something precious.

She didn't offer anything. Her loss was not voluntary. We do not say that parents of children who die of SIDS "sacrificed" their children.
