Rush Limbaugh’s new low – Joan Walsh – Salon.com

Rush Limbaugh. STILL a huge piece of shit. Honestly, I saw Ann Coulter on CBS this morning (they’ve also had RimJob on recently) and I don’t get it. Why should anyone pretending to be a respectable news agency have these folks on? It’s like trying to get a legitimate viewpoint from Andy Dick. You *might* get something, but odds are you’re going to have to wade through a lot of crap first.

“I don’t hide from it. I do want and I still want Obama to fail… I define America succeeding by virtue of Obama failing. I love America!”

Mary Alice Carr – Why I’ll No Longer Be on Bill O’Reilly’s Show – washingtonpost.com

A well, meaning liberal finally wises up to why feeding the beast is a bad idea. Thus, after aiding and abetting O’Reilly in persuading people to kill abortion doctors, she now can no longer go on his show.

Look, if the guy was actually willing to allow other points of view to exist in his Shit Zone, you’d have a point. But he doesn’t, so I can’t see how that is a great idea at all. At least you woke up to it.

Jim Caple: Burning questions with San Francisco Giants pitcher Randy Johnson – ESPN

Caple has a pretty good interview with Randy Johnson, covering his long career and his (hopefully soon) 300th win.

I’ve always liked Johnson as a player and was glad to see him get a World Series ring in what I argue is one of the best World Series ever played, particularly for the time in which it was played.

That said, it’s really hard to forget the bird incident:

Bay Buchanan: After Assaulting Black Woman, Calling Her ‘Nigger,’ Epstein Was ‘Lynched’ | TPMDC

Those Buchanan kids weren’t spanked enough as children.

Plus, their copies of Mein Kampf should have been burned. I don’t care that Hitler autographed them personally.

Bay Buchanan has the nerve to say that her employee (I think I recently said it was her brother Pat’s worker) is being lynched by the media.

Why would she use these words? Because the guy she hired – and keeps employing – was the asshat who assaulted a black woman and called her the N-word. You know, what in most places constitutes a borderline hate crime at best.

But being a conservative means that you’re the victim, regardless of the fact that you a) are the aggressor, b) probably have the power, and c) oh yeah, you COMMITTED A FUCKING CRIME!

And you wonder how these idiots get any votes in elections at all.

Officials: Bin Laden Running Out Of Space To Hide : NPR

Here is one of those “here’s hoping” stories.

Personally, I think it is way too optimistic to think we can just bag bin Laden. The terrain is pretty rough by all accounts and not having any assets on the ground make it really tough. You know, it’s exactly how he escaped the last time when Bush pulled our troops back. Now we don’t even have soldiers on the hunt to pull back.

Also, the guy has been hiding for years. Killing him outright either makes him martyr or has no real effect anyway. This isn’t a cartoon. Yeah, it would be nice to have him dead or on trial in some Pennsylvania courtroom, but I don’t think it’s going to fix any of the problems we have in the region.
