There’s a new one of these almost every day… the latest clip comes courtesy an LAT story quoting a U.S. State Department official:

"… The U.S. believes that there is international consensus on that."

But Monday evening, only Egypt and Qatar supported the U.S. position.

What the writer clearly doesn’t realize is that Egypt and Qatar do represent the entire international community.

Everyone knows downtown Doha is where all the happening performance artists are.

The specific instance here is an UN conference on women’s equality, which the Chimperites are blowing up by demanding that the entire world suddenly agree to a declaration that no woman has a right to an abortion.  Anywhere on Earth, apparently.

Yes, that’s something we can reasonably expect six billion people to immediately agree on.

Which "normal" person in your life is most likely to turn out to be a psychotic serial killer? The clean-cut Attorney General who invents legal rationales for torture 739   84.7%   The sweet-faced Cub Scout who seems to go through a lot of pet frogs 68   7.8%   The charming pizza delivery kid with the soundproof van 35   4%   The well-groomed priest who brings wine into the confessional 31   3.6%

Today we learn that the FCC has decided that Saving Private Ryan is not, in fact, indecent.

Really?  I thought I remembered Tom Hanks and Matt Damon doing a DV scene with a hot German MILF.

No, wait.  I’m thinking of Alec Guiness and William Holden in Bridge On The River Kwai.

Possibly my favorite actor, honest to God.  I don’t care what he’s in, I’m spending eight bucks.  He could be drinking milk of magnesia in his underwear, directed by Michael Bay.  So I’m thrilled to see him finally win an Oscar.

Only question I have is how far Hollywood will let him stretch.  I love it when he’s playing someone gentle and wise, who gives counsel to the white guy in the lead.  But he’s also great when he’s playing someone kind and all-knowing, who gives counsel to the white guy in the lead.

Wait, I know — somebody in this town has to be daring enough to write a script where Morgan Freeman plays someone gentle, wise, kind, and all-knowing, who gives counsel to the white guy in the lead.

Oh, man.  That would totally push people’s boundaries.

What will Karl Rove claim the AARP supports next? Mandatory gay sex with illegal immigrants 621   53.8%   Abortion on demand for women 65 and over 237   20.5%   Abolishing prayer during last rites 172   14.9%   Legalized pot for Al-Qaeda 125   10.8%

BTK serial-murder spree may be over.  And sure enough, the guy under arrest leads a local prayer group.  Which leads us to the new poll at left.

BlogPac has the lowdown.

There’s also a .pdf report about to circulate.  Worth a read.

Apparently, this claim of a seven-digit membership of this "USANext" group (yes, the one which tried to link the entire AARP to gay sex — and there’s an Amateur Home Video I am just dying to see) is a bit like claiming that Internet spam artists are an actual Nigerian revolutionary movement.
