Helen Thomas. 90 years ugly.

I like the attempt to "soften" her there with guaze or a gel lens. Right idea, but they didn't take it far enough. They should have tried shooting her through three too four inches of steel plate.

Thanks to adolfo for the suggestion.

Did I say Reagan? I meant Che Guevera.

STORY OPPORTUNITY : Fans of Che Guevara - Associated Press (US) I'm looking for people who own 'Che' Guevara T-shirts, magnets, etc. Are you a Che fan? Why? Or is the image of his face just a cool icon to have? What does he represent to you? Why does he hold such mystique so many years after the Cuban Revolution and his death? Please include name, age, location and contact info. No phone calls, please. Contact [Name deleted]

From my email box.

COOL FACT ABOUT CHE GUEVERA: He murdered a lot of people. Isn't that cooooool? Isn't murder sexy-crazy-hot?

The Associated Press

Frankly, we've just become exhausted with even pretending.

Great stuff. Helen Thomas is an embarassment. Not only is the nasty old bitch hopelessly antisemitic, she is also an incompetent reporter without even a bare acquaintance with the facts.

No, really. Fish caught displaying human-like teeth.

Well, not movie-star teeth or anything.

I'd call shenanigans, but how the hell do you surgically implant a row of human teeth into a freakin' fish?

Deep Ones Involvement?: Was this fish caught near Innsmouth, I wonder?

Lebanon? Syria? Cairo? Londonistan?

Uh-uh. Outside the Israeli consulate in NYC, baby. Right where Allah knocked down a couple of towers. I would think that our patriotic Muslim guests/immigrants would be mindful the last time there were cries of Allah destroying stuff, 2800+ people were murdered.

Had enough?

BTW, if Allah will do all these magical things for you, why don't you relocate back to your backwards hellholes and ask him to provide functioning plumbing, water distribution, and electricity?

Thanks to Andy the Squirrel.

If you want it, here it is, come and get it, get your comments up fast.

Is there any way to hotlink a Haloscan comments thread from here?

Update: I'm adding Haloscan comments in the threads, at the end of each post.

Mu.nu comments just never seem to work. I think I may just have to switch to Haloscan, though that will cause problems with traffic counting and advertisers.

I'm not watching Rockstar: Supernova, but maybe I'll start. There's a cute chick on it going by the name "Storm Large" who told Tommy Lee to Google her for nudie pics. She wasn't kidding. CONTENT WARNING: Pictures are disappointingly tasteful.

And of course Ann Coulter did a little Basic Instict style leg crossing and uncrossing on Danny Deutsch. Pooter before swine.

Could someone please intercut this with Wayne ("Neumann") Knight's eyes bugging out? That would kick ass.

Thanks to CraigC. for the Couter. That's a deliberate typo, btw.

Test: Comment on Coulter? |

More on Before the Dawn, this time from Steyn:

Both Keeley and LeBlanc believe that for a variety of reasons anthropologists and their fellow archaeologists have seriously underreported the prevalence of warfare among primitive societies. . . . 'I realized that archaeologists of the postwar period had artificially "pacified the past" and shared a pervasive bias against the possibility of prehistoric warfare,' says Keeley."

...

rofessor Keeley and Steven LeBlanc of Harvard disclose almost as an aside that, in fact, their scientific colleagues were equally invested in the notion of the noble primitive living in peace with nature and his fellow man, even though no such creature appears to have existed. "Most archaeologists," says LeBlanc, "ignored the fortifications around Mayan cities and viewed the Mayan elite as peaceful priests. But over the last 20 years Mayan records have been deciphered. Contrary to archaeologists' wishful thinking, they show the allegedly peaceful elite was heavily into war, conquest and the sanguinary sacrifice of beaten opponents.... The large number of copper and bronze axes found in Late Neolithic and Bronze Age burials were held to be not battle axes but a form of money."

And on, and on. Do you remember that fabulously preserved 5,000-year-old man they found in a glacier in 1991? He had one of those copper axes the experts assured us were an early unit of currency. Unfortunately for this theory, he had it hafted in a manner that suggested he wasn't asking, "Can you break a twenty?" "He also had with him," notes professor Keeley, "a dagger, a bow, and some arrows; presumably these were his small change." Nonetheless, anthropologists concluded that he was a shepherd who had fallen asleep and frozen peacefully to death in a snowstorm. Then the X-ray results came back and showed he had an arrowhead in him.

"Christianists" and secularists seem to have a fundamental debate over the nature of man. "Christianists" postulate man was conceived in sin and acts sinfully, and must strive to be better than an animal.

Secularists seem committed to the opposite proposition, that man was conceived in perfect tranquility and harmony with nature and never sinned at all until "society" came along (sua sponte) and began teaching him all sorts of nasty things, like racism, homophobia, wifebeating, war, and "factory farming."

Hobbes versus Rousseau, for the billionth time.

The "Reality Based Community" sure seems pretty detached from reality, by my reckoning.

Thanks to Matt.

I'm not sure whether to formally end my semi-embargo on Greenwad. My email box continues to overflow with right-wing bloggers attacking him.

I don't care about him, and I'm surprised other people do. But so many people can't resist the catnip I don't know if I should just give in and begin linking them.

I was over at a left-wing site the other day, and the hero-worship of this guy was pretty sickening. They really think he's "having an effect" and "persauding people" and "getting under the skin" of righwingers.

The thing is, it's all just the same leftist cant and liberal talking points, day in, day out. There's no there there. There's nothing new. Why they imagine that the nth iteration of "conservatives are Krazy Kristian Exxxtremists" would "get under my skin" is beyond me.

I would ask for feedback, but the comments are down, as usual, so I guess I just won't link.
