Rachel Lucas has a psychological analysis of Michael Moore. I have to admit it: I found the movie Canadian Bacon funny. Does that make me evil to enjoy that piece of crap’s work?
Laurence Simon spots a beautiful thing.
Initially I said I wouldn’t link to Instapundit in my Links of the Day, as any traffic I might send his way would be like a few drops of water to the Pacific Ocean, but I enjoyed him ripping apart an article based just on its title so much that I had to point it out.

Typing is Verboten!
A lot of us are pissed at Michael Moore for his new idotic and racist statements, but few would dispute his right to say it (thought some may be perturbed by the illegality of beating the crap out of him for it). Ones who might not allow Moore speaking are the Germans. They are trying to prosecute a man for a post on the internet that allegedly glorifies the 9-11 attacks. Maybe he is an idiot and deserves a Clue Bat™ to the head, but three years in prison for one statement he wrote on the internet? You think the Germans would have learned their lesson after we kicked their ass for being Nazis, but apparently not. Just goes to show you once again that, if you want to live in the land of the free, some European country ain’t going to cut it. America is your one and only choice. Apparently, a nation can only truly understand freedom if it gets its start by shooting a bunch of Redcoats with muskets.
Banning Toy Guns – The Last Bastion of Anti-Gun Retards
The Democrats in New York’s City Council are now moving to ban all toy guns, realistic looking or not. They say you can spray paint an unrealistic gun and then get yourself shot by police, and that, they also say, is a bad thing. One case they mention in favor of this ban was how a 17-year-old got himself killed after pointing a toy gun at the head of a police officer in an attempted mugging. Maybe I just don’t think like other people, but instead of my first reaction to that story being “We must ban toy guns immediately to prevent such tragedy” it’s “Dumbass! Good thing he killed himself off.”
Who will be most affected by this ban? It’s The Children™, that’s who. Boys love nothing more than to pretend to shoot each other, but, being denied toy guns to play with, they’ll have no choice but to become flaming homosexuals. But children’s feelings can be dismissed in legislative decisions because they can’t vote. That’s because most people believe that, if children are left to their own resources, they’ll do nothing but stick their fingers in electrical outlets and drink Drano. I, on the other hand, think children can have some political clout. They need to realize that, if first the government is allowed to ban toy guns, nothing prevents videogames or Barbie from being banned as well. So, children need to use a Democratic debating technique that they actually invented: the nagging whine.
“Mommy! I don’t want there to be Democrats in office!” a child can scream and then pound the floor with his fists. Eventually, the parent will have no choice but to vote out all the Democrats. Otherwise, the federal penitentiary will fill up with eight year olds found in illegal possession of squirt guns, which, I guess, will also end the nagging.
