* Is Texas enacting legislation to protect Bush retroactively? I see no other reason for this bill to exist.
* This is so wrong, so funny and so not work safe. Speaking of Coulter, her column this week is so disjointed it begs for a 12 step recovery program. She skips from DeLay, to Katie Couric and then give us this on Bolton "I repeat: Bolton has been nominated to be ambassador to the United Nations. It's not like it's an important job. Get a grip, people! He's not replacing Paula Abdul on "American Idol." Wow.
* It's refreshing to hear how our democracy spreading and freedom giving is working in Iraq. I'd hate to think some of our bad traits might rub off on them.
* Ingenious recruitment methods beat having a draft, right?
* Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it... or at a minimum, be affected by it.
* If you lose your job in DC due to a scandal or misconduct, create a "coalition group" and just keep doin' whatcher doin'. feh!
* Mission Accomplished, redux.
* The hypocrisy of "Lest We Forget" is the forgetting part.
* Which part of this article is the most offensive? For me, it's this line "In short, Democrats as a class -- like smokers -- have, uh, issues. So let's just extend this hiring ban to cover unhappy, anti-social, self-destructive, unhealthy Democrats." You?
I often find Coulter a bit over the top, and haven't read the column you reference, but the passage you've quoted is very funny. She has a sharp wit, indeed.

Posted by: El Loco at May 5, 2005 10:01 PMBelieve it or not, I actually thought I caught shades of higher humor in Coulter's last piece. Take for example, her line: "(Sorry, military junta that runs Myanmar!)" This sounds vaguely like something you'd see from a person who was actually funny; in particular, it reminds me of something I'd read by David Rees on mnftiu.cc. (Christ, I can't find it. Why can't there be a search engine for Get Your War On?)
I know, I know. I don't even like making the comparison. But, what do think? After all, the right has very effectively co-opted various aspects of the left's ideas--why not humor? Lord knows they're not getting it from Bill O'Reilly.
