So Ann Coulter makes it look like Keith Olbermann is basically Andy Bernard, constantly dropping that he went to Cornell, when really he went to the Cornell College of Agriculture and Life Sciences which she says isn’t Ive League. Me, I’m just happy when anyone has even heard of Carnegie Mellon University. It got mentioned on the Simpsons a couple episodes ago; that was awesome.
Anyway, Olbermann has responded to Coulter on the charge that, intelligence-wise, he’s just a poseur:
I didn’t know Google has a 3d modeling software, but some guy used it to visually show us what Obama’s economic plan looks like.
Look at the nigerian spam e-mail I got:

WASHINGTON (AP) – The NRA today came out in favor of the Obama administration’s attempt at reviving the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004, citing experts who say that assault weapons perpetuate unhealthy stereotypes of physical beauty.

“We support the proposed assault weapons ban for much that same reason that West Virginia state lawmaker Jeff Eldridge supports a ban on the sale of Barbie dolls,” said NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre, “because they place too much emphasis on the importance of a weapon’s physical beauty, at the expense of a shooter’s intellectual and emotional development.”
“American’s weapons enthusiasts admire the sleek, sexy design of fully automatic rifles, which is only natural because they’re great for killing terrorists,” said LaPierre. “But this admiration can become an unhealthy obsession that leads people to focus unnecessarily on shallow, cosmetic attributes completely unrelated to a gun’s ability to perforate evildoers. Sure, pistol grips, flash suppressors, and bayonet lugs LOOK pretty, but when it comes to cold-slabbing a home intruder, looks don’t matter.”
NRA Board member Ted Nugent was similarly enthusiastic in his support. “People need to hold a more realistic image of personal weaponry. Appearance and firepower, though nice, aren’t EVERYTHING. What’s more important is who the person holding the gun really is, deep down inside. Does the person always assume a gun is loaded? Do they know their target and what’s beyond it? Do they never point a gun at anything they don’t intend to destroy? Sadly, the existence of assault weapons perpetuates unhealthy stereotypes about beauty at the expense of more important things, and they need to go away.”
There’s nothing wrong with pretty,” said Nugent, “but good sight picture, controlled breathing, and squeezing instead of pulling the trigger are what REALLY matter.”
Things aren’t starting out well for Obama so far, so the Democrats decided they needed to distract the dummies in there party right now. With all the huge problems facing the nation right now, they sent out an e-mail saying how they plan to spend money to put up a billboard in West Palm Beach, Florida, to tell off Rush Limbaugh, and they’re having a contest for the slogan. Thus they can keep tiny Democrat brains busy thinking of ways to insult Rush and hopefully not noticing what complete and utter screw up Obama is.
Put that way, seems worth a try.
Anyway, if IMAO were to put up a billboard outside of the DNC headquarters (where did they locate that after the Soviet Union fell?), what would you have it say in ten words or less?
Did you see the two hour 24 episode Monday? You have a bunch of black people storming the White House by force. That could pretty easily be some racist metaphor about Obama. In the least, a bunch of black men after a white woman (the president) is pretty racist, I’m sure.
Anyway, I’ve been liking this season of 24 pretty well. Some say it’s jumped the shark (or nuked the fridge), but it just seems like classic 24 to me and one of the few shows conservatives can enjoy.
It is going to be hard to keep upping the stakes each season, though; in not too long, terrorists are going to have to blow up a solar system and threaten the entire galaxy to seem like a credible threat, but for now kidnapping the president is fine. As for the politics, it was a bad sign when Janeane Garfalo joined the cast (do yourself a favor and don’t read anything where she’s talking about politics; she’s a hateful, pitiful woman), but the season has still been about how torturing terrorists is not only effective — it’s entertaining — and the only one’s against it are mealy-mouthed liberals. And Jack Bauer doesn’t need their gratitude, but if he did, he could easily torture it out of them.
