Rock Chicks Take On Page & Plant as "Lez Zeppelin"
— Ace

Cool:

Four women rockers who took on the music of Led Zeppelin are driving club audiences to a frenzy and, offstage, whipping up speculation over their sexual tastes with the name of the band: Lez Zeppelin.

"We have sort of a 'don't ask, don't tell' policy," says Steph Paynes, lead guitar player and the "Jimmy Page" of the group. "It's better to keep it all a mystery, and in the end it really doesn't matter. What matters is the music."

The New York-based quartet came together almost three years ago with the express purpose of covering songs by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members Led Zeppelin.

They're among a small but growing number of all-female tribute bands Spin Magazine recently referred to as "Chicks with Picks," and include the playfully dubbed AC/DShe, Cheap Chick and The Ramonas.

There's also a female version of Rush. They're called, "Rush."

They don't seem to be lesbians, alas. They're just following the trend of these bands giving themselves names with some version of "chick" or "she" in the name.

Thanks to cthulhu.

Senator Kennedy's Speech
— Ace

Michelle Malkin calls it a meltdown, but I think it's a pretty decent speech. Not that I agree with a word of it; just that it's impassioned and fluent and all that (except towards the end, when Senator Exposed Testicles plainly is beginning to suffer from alcohol withdrawal).

Eh. Judge for yourself.

Riehl World View syncs up Kennedy's speech to Bluto Blutarsky's ravings from Animal House. Pretty funny.

"Climate Change" Coverage "Worse Than Thought"
— Ace

Hilarious comparison of headlines over the past five years from Karol.

If climate change gets worse and worse every year, how come I got coffee this morning without scuba gear?

The Gang of 14 actually argued against a filibuster.

On to the confirmation.

Another Study: Men Don't Like Funny Women
— Ace

Or, as Florida Cracker puts it, Boys Don't Make Passes At Girls Who Are Smart-Asses.

"Men see being funny as a male thing," he said. "When forced to choose between humour production and humour appreciation in potential partners, women valued humour production. Men valued receptivity to their own humour."

Yes, we are vain.

"Women see men with a sense of humour as dangerous and sexy, while men see it as threatening," [some BBC chick] said.

Yes, we are immature and insecure.

On the other hand, the one flaw in the study is that, as everyone knows, there are no actual funny women, so the survey might have well been about gigantic mutant piranha-monkeys.

Its Official. Clinton Worse Than Carter!
— Tanker

In case you haven't seen this at LGF yet, that degenerate Clinton has just converted to Islam. Apparently, a couple of mild cartoons about Mohammed is the same as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Carter's inability to do anything about the hostages was bad enough. But now, the lowlife who didn't even bother to visit NYC after the WTC was attacked (first time), and who did nothing more than fire off some cruise missiles when it was politically viable, is officially a dhimmi.
There is a special place awaiting Clinton in hell. I personally guarantee it!

Cindy Sheehan For Senate!
— Ace

Let's get this done.

Register your support for Mother Peace here!

The only thing is... this never works. We don't allow liberals to choose our nominees and I'm pretty sure they won't accept our "help" in getting this woman of "absolute moral authority" nominated over Dianne Feinstein.

Still-- can't hurt to try. Let's just not lick our chops over it too much, or appear too eager for it.

Even if Saint Cindy actually takes the Senate seat, it's a winning proposition for us. One could make the case that it's better to have a left-wing, Chavez-canoodling embarrassment as junior Senator from California than a liberalish Republican who won't vote with us most of the time anyhow.

More Conservative Media Bias: ABC Radio VP Endorses Alito-Filibuster Petition
— Ace

"Help stop the craziness!" he writes as he forwards the email along to a few thousand friends.

He's declined to comment on the email.

Peter Daou immediately labled him a "tool of the Rovian Propaganda Machine."

But remember: It's only reporters who are liberally biased. All their editors and executives are in fact rightwing crazies, and they're the ones who really control the news.
