Tom Delay:
"Their leaders have lined up behind Howard Dean's brand of angry, intolerant politics. They've made their message clear: 'moderates need not apply' and that's a sad trend for a once-great party,"
Tom Delay is now upset about intolerance?
"Ladies and gentlemen, Christianity offers the only viable, reasonable, definitive answer to the questions of 'Where did I come from?' 'Why am I here?' 'Where am I going?' 'Does life have any meaningful purpose?' " DeLay said. "Only Christianity offers a way to understand that physical and moral border. Only Christianity offers a comprehensive worldview that covers all areas of life and thought, every aspect of creation. Only Christianity offers a way to live in response to the realities that we find in this world -- only Christianity."
Upset about angry people? The man who shoved a Congressman on the house floor and called him a "chickenshit"?
INtolerance from thre man who said Columbine happened "because our school systems teach our children that they are nothing but glorified apes who have evolutionized out of some primordial mud."
Oh no. Blogs are now officilay "out"?
Whatever shall I do now that the "HIP-O-METER" at the Philadelphia Weekly has declared blogs "out"?
I do take solace in the fact that there is no way on gods green earth anything or anybody using the phrase "HIP-O-METER" can ever be "in".

Pandagon creates a classic.
From Brent Bozell, raving lunatic of the right (hey if he can call a blanket group of anti war activists lunatics, I can do the same. Besides my use of it happens to be true, as opposed to a ridiculous generalization):
2. "NYPD Blue." This show airs in the last hour of prime time -- but at only 9 p.m. Central time. One recent show featured a serial killer plot. The victims were raped with a dildo and then strangled to death. The killer confesses she "knocked them on the head, sedated them, inserted the dildo with condom on it, and then strangled them."
The question to Eisner: Do you like being responsible for thousands of children asking their parents what a dildo is?
Note that Bozell's major problem out of assault, rape, murder by strangulation and a dildo...is the dildo.
Too funny.....
In ABC's defense it was a dildo that had a condom on it, which should count for something.
Richard Nixon was seen as a dishonest schemer ("Tricky Dick").
Other sentences that didnt make the cut in this op ed:
Hitler was viewed by some as a bad person.
Jesus seemed to be someone who was religuos in nature.
Rosie O'donnel appears to some as fat.

I found this article a fascinating exercise in the uselessness of top ten lists. Top ten albums of the year on MSNBC.
8 are from black artists.
R. Kelly
OutKast
50 Cent
Erykah Badu
Beyonce
Lizz Wright
Garage A Trois
Ludacris
I read it quickly and thought, man that’s odd. And choices like obscure Jazz albums.
Then I saw the author’s name.
Nekesa Mumbi Moody
It's teh time of year for useless top ten lists!!!
Heres my first.
Top 11 (ten is boring) people I enjoyed hating and the moments in which my hatred for them blossomed like a beautiful flower.
Rosie O’Donnel
The moment my hatred blossomed:
Outside the courthouse after her trial when she said, referring to her Boy George Musical “Taboo”:
I gave birth to a beautiful child ... in the form of musical theater."
Her child, Taboo, was stillborn. It is a gigantic flop, losing money and receiving horrible reviews.
Jessica Lynch.
Moment my hatred blossomed:
When the “hero” shows up after whoring out for a movie and book deal at a red carpet event with Britney “we should do whatever the President says” Spears.
Guess what. She’s not a hero. She’s just a hick grunt who got caught. And because she is white she becomes a media “hero”. She then takes that newfound celebrity status and gets an agent, book deal, movie deal, and starts showing up at Glamour events with Britney Spears in a cocktail dress that she no doubt bought from her million dollar advance for her book.
And of course the entire story of her capture and “rescue” have now been revealed to be a bunch of lies. Her convoy got ambushed, her gun jammed, and she was captured. Most of her injuries were from her crashing her Humvee.
For this she gets a Bronze Star, which is supposed to be awarded for HEROIC OR MERITORIOUS ACHIEVEMENT. She got it because the military knew she was great PR. Whereas true men and women of the military who actually do heroic things like FIGHT the enemy in that place many people forgot called Afghanistan and those people that actually attacked us AL Queda, as well as in Iraq (their just following orders) every day without a book deal and tearful Diane Sawyer interview are ignored.
Fox Sports Division.
The moment my hatred blossomed:
When the Fair and Balanced Sports division of Fox decided during the Yankee Red Sox division series to have Bret Boone, the brother of Yankee third baseman Aaron Boone do color commentary. Then after Boone hit that lucky shot in game seven they panend to Boone in the foxc booth for a good minute or so.
Way to be objective their FOX. Why not Have Posada’s deformed kid do color commentary next time?
Bill Bennett, serial Gambler and hypocrite.
Moment my hatred blossomed, reading this in the NYT:
That Mr. Limbaugh, with his advocacy of stiff punishment for drug
offenders, would himself admit to a long-term addiction was evocative of
the situation that Mr. Bennett was in earlier this year. One of the
nation's pre-eminent moral crusaders, Mr. Bennett acknowledged that he had
set a poor example by "too much gambling."
Nonetheless, Mr. Bennett sought in the interview to distinguish his own
shortcomings from the conduct of Mr. Limbaugh, a close friend who has dined
at his home, once with Justice Clarence Thomas. "Not an addiction," Mr.
Bennett said of his own actions, as if ticking off a list of talking
points, "not a problem, no therapy, gambling too much, stopped it."
And yet Mr. Bennett said that Mr. Limbaugh deserved to be judged less
severely than former President Bill Clinton, a Democrat and perennial
Limbaugh target, who was impeached in 1999 over his deceptions regarding an
affair with a White House intern. "He's not president of the United
States," Mr. Bennett said of Mr. Limbaugh. "He's not blaming his
accusers. He's not lying. He's not lying under oath."
"He was manly," Mr. Bennett added of Mr. Limbaugh. "He was straightforward."
Rush Limbaugh.
Moment my (admittedly long standing) hatred blossomed:
The conservative values, drug people should be sent to jail fat ass admitted he was a junkie and is under investigations for commiting felonies.
Splotchy Bill O’Reilly
Moment when my hatred blossomed.
When Franken ripped him a new one at a book expo, and he had his 568th tantrum if the year telling him to “shut up”. Watch the entire glorious thing here. O’Reilly has been whining like a school girl ever since
Bush
Moment when my (already burning white hot) hatred blossomed into that of a supernova:
DIANE SAWYER: But stated as a hard fact, that there were weapons of mass destruction as opposed to the possibility that he could move to acquire those weapons still —
PRESIDENT BUSH: So what's the difference?
Britney Spears
Moment when my hatred for her mind (Lets make sure we understand each other here) blossomed:
"Honestly, I think we should just trust our president in every decision that he makes and we should just support that,"
One of the rich girls moms.
Moment my hatred blossomed
UInlike the Simplr Life sluts, these girls actually think they are humble and not spoiled. But they are 15 so they don't know any better. So my hatred was saved for the moment when, as they are eating dinner at a 5 star restaurant, one of the chicks hag mother, who does nothing for a living but spend her husbands money, says:
"You are doing what the President said that you should be doing...Supporting the stores and we as citizens are doing that."
Wacko Jacko
Moment my hatred blossomed.
ED BRADLEY: Well, let me — let me say, from my perspective, my experience, I don't know any 45-year-old men, who are not relatives of the children, who share their bedroom with other children.
MICHAEL JACKSON: Well, what's wrong with sharing your bed? I didn't say I slept in the bed. Even if I did sleep in the bed, it's okay.
Ashton Kuchtner.
Moment my hatred blossomed:
Watch five seconds of Punk'd and you will know why I want to smack that oh so hip trucker hat off his head.

Bush's steely resolve in Iraq will only last until he needs to get elected.
Sure, When Karl Rove tells him to say thigns like "we're gonna stay til the jobs done" it makes him look determined and focused. Its a very good poll tested phrase. But polls also say that american deaths at election time wont help him get.. ahem, "re" elected. So its time to cut and run.
Hey im thrilled. I've got a friend over there. Anything to get him home. Of course this won't stop the cacophony of BS from the right about how no matter what hes a president who will see the job done, and Clinton was driven by polls and undermined the troops.
Blah blah blah.
Money magazines best places to live.
What no Hartford?
OF course the criteria is kind of biased. They have to be near a big city? A quaint littel sleepy town in New England could be the greatest, but if they aren't close to Boston they aren't "great" according to Money.
