I’m posting this not to enter into the gay marriage debate (reasonable people of good will have differing views on the issue), but rather to highlight and stand in opposition to the misuse of copyright law by “Perez Hilton,†who is neither reasonable nor a person of good will.
No way. Instead, you’ve got a guy who could have decided to spend his life sucking on a governmental teat but, instead, was determined to take advantage of his natural-born right to “pursue happiness,†as the Founders intended.
For the same masochistic reason I often find myself watching the Sunday morning gasbags and reading Maureen Dowd columns, I watched the President’s self-congratulatory First-Hundred-Days Celebration news conference tonight.
Literally seconds after it was over, I fell asleep.
I figure the safety on my Bullshit Meter kicked in late. Just my luck. The warranty on the damned thing ran out ten days ago.
The One: Hey, I’ve got a great idea. I’m going to order that we have a look-a-like Air Force One, followed by a military fighter plane buzz the Statue of Liberty and the Financial District in lower Manhattan.
Potted Plant: Mr. President, I question whether that is a good idea. That is the place where the September 11th attacks took place and so many people were killed. I think it will frighten the workers in that area, particularly those who survived the September 11th attacks, as well as those who lost loved ones in the attacks.
I’ve had a full day of Life 101, and I don’t much feel like writing. Seems like as good a time as any to share a bit of the Right Brothers and their “List.”
Being veddy, veddy civilized peeps, we spent last night at the thee-ah-tah, where we saw a performance of 1776 (there are nice photos from the production). The cast was outstanding, but I particularly enjoyed Conrad John Schuck’s portrayal of Benjamin Franklin. He is probably best known for his appeare in the movie M*A*S*H as Capt. Walter ‘Painless’ Waldowski, the “best equipped dentist in the army,” and Sgt. Charles Enright in the TV series McMillan and Wife.
Much of the theme (the debate over declaring independence from England) was quite timely.
If it comes to a thee-ah-tah near you, I recommend you see it.
I have been so pre-occupied watching The One dismantle the Republic and the Free Market System that I had forgotten what a truly contemptible creep she is. The upside is that it was nice to see her sorry ass being grilled and smacked down after having seen a few of her loathsome performances when she was a senator questioning witnesses bloviating.
I wonder if she is kicking herself in the ass for having taken the Secretary of State gig. She really looks like Fido’s ass.
