Ann Coulter: “I don’t see a clear angle on the anus”

While critical thinking Americans were not watching Fox News on Tuesday night , wait for it….  Ann Coulter revealed what she is really concerned about; body scanners failing to detect those dreaded Terrorist using  foreskin and anal bombs.

Speaking on Fox News’ O’Reilly Factor Tuesday night, Coulter declared she was opposed to the Transportation Security Administration’s new push to add body scanners to airports in an effort to detect terrorist’s explosive devices.

O’Reilly countered: “If you have a body scan and you have a bomb in your underwear, they can see the bomb through the body scan.”

To this, Coulter replied: “No one credible has asserted that… No they’ll be able to see a container… It was spread throughout the diaper. Unless the bomb is inserted under the foreskin, and by the way, I don’t see a clear angle on the anus. That’s a pretty easy hiding place for this.”

“Moreover, the shoe bomber, all of his bomb materials was, I think, 50 milligrams,” Coulter added. “The diaper bomber carried 80 milligrams. As long as there’s carry-on luggage, they’re going to get it on.”

O’Reilly noted that Coulter is in rare agreement with the American Civil Liberties Union, the civil rights group, which argues that the full body scans intrude on Americans’ privacy.

Did she really say, “Unless the bomb is inserted under the foreskin, and by the way, I don’t see a clear angle on the anus? Coulter of all people, should have a really clear “angle” on the anus, after all her head has been up her ass long enough. Moreover, one thing the body scanners would detect is the absence of  Coulter’s gray matter.   

If Air Travel worked like Health Care

We really would have a need for more pharmaceuticals.

Yes that was painful but oh so true. Personally, I suggest we  consider Chanel Monticello’s approach to helping the uninsured.

An Op-Ed to Ponder

As the Nation’s Pulse Races, Obama Can’t Seem to Find His

Source: Maureen Dowd | The New York Times

I was walking through a deserted downtown on Christmas Eve with a friend, past the lonely, gray Treasury Building, past the snowy White House with no president inside.

“I hope the terrorists don’t think this is a good time to attack,” I said, looking protectively at the White House, which always looks smaller and more vulnerable and beautiful than you expect, no matter how often you see it up close.

I thought our guard might be down because of the holiday; now I realize our guard is down every day.

One thrilling thing about moving from W. to Barack Obama was that Obama seemed like an avatar of modernity.

W., Dick Cheney and Rummy kept ceaselessly dragging us back into the past. America seemed to have lost her ingenuity, her quickness, her man-on-the-moon bravura, her Bugs Bunny panache.

Were we clever and inventive enough to protect ourselves from the new breed of Flintstones-hardy yet Facebook-savvy terrorists?

W.’s favorite word was “resolute,” but despite gazillions spent and Cheney’s bluster, our efforts to shield ourselves seemed flaccid.

Rep. Alan Greyson to Cheney STFU!

I knew there was a reason I liked this man.

Going Rogue after the pepto

Palin Alert

For those of you who like me,  just can’t cough up $3.98 for Caribou Barbie’s mutilation of a tree (I have a weak stomach), “Going Rogue” there is hope. Mudflats is “tiptoeing through the Muck of Alaskan Politics”, one a page at a time. Here is a sample of their offerings.

Page 116- This piece of brilliance came from the Alaska Dispatch. And thank you Andrew Halcro for correcting what was an obvious unintentional blunder from Palin who said “Democrat governor” instead of “Democratic governor.” I’m glad you said it correctly, despite you being all effete and everything.

Page 117-118
Halcro, “the Wasilla town crier” (Kilkenny) and “the falafel lady” Andree McLeod were considered credible sources by the national press. Imagine that! I wonder if they engaged in juvenile, petty bitter name-calling? That would be really lame, and people would find it hard to take them seriously. You know, like if they called you “the crazy lady” or “the Wasilla town whack job” or something.

There was a debate at a chamber of commerce luncheon. She chose to send Sean Parnell (the Lt. Governor nominee) to attend in her stead, and she went instead to visit with the troops who were about to be deployed because that was more important than a silly Chamber of Commerce luncheon.

Irony Alert! The very same Sean Parnell (who became governor when she quit) decided it was more important to attend an Association of General Contractors luncheon than to meet the President who was stopping off 2 miles down the road to honor the troops last week. I just had to throw that out there.

Indy Weekly: Hal Crowley’s, Glenn Beck piece a must read

Last year my brother left me a phone message, recommending a rare visit to the world of television to check out a new face on CNN. Not just another radio right-winger masticating headlines, he said, but a creature from some even lower rung on the ladder of life, working an act so addled and inept that he had to be kidding, had to be auditioning for Comedy Central—but who was, in fact, dead serious. (Our era, in the words of the blog Eschaton, “begins the age when it is impossible to tell parody/ irony/ performance art from completely sincere product.”)

Hence the title of Crowley’s piece “Tears of a Clown” continue reading.

South Carolina state attorney caught with stripper in graveyard

An attorney and a stripper in a graveyard? Who’d a thunk it, just in time for Halloween kitties and did I mention I an truly beginning to be concerned about our neighbors, south of the border? But, I quess you could say the attorney and the stripper were paying each other respect ……the Viagra and sex toys came along for the ride, “just in case.”

A deputy assistant attorney general who said he was on his lunch break when an officer found him with a stripper and sex toys in his sport utility vehicle has been fired, his boss said Wednesday.

Roland Corning, 66, a former state legislator, was in a secluded part of a downtown cemetery when an officer spotted him Monday, according to a police report obtained by The Associated Press under the Freedom of Information Act.

As the officer approached, Corning sped off, then pulled over a few blocks away. He and the 18-year-old woman with him, an employee of the Platinum Plus Gentleman’s Club, gave conflicting stories about what they were doing in the cemetery, Officer Michael Wines wrote in his report, though he did not elaborate.

Corning gave Wines a badge showing he worked for the state Attorney General’s Office. Wines, whose wife also works there, called her to make sure Corning was telling the truth.

He then searched the SUV, where he found a Viagra pill and several sex toys, items Corning said he always kept with him, “just in case,” according to the report.

Felons release blocked, behold an Epiphany

Geez folks, I was convinced the Department of Correction’s insane proposal to release “20 sentenced to life felons” would actually take place on October 29th 2009. But Governor Perdue, today decided to block the inmate’s release and this time Perdue’s epiphany was bi-partisan, everyone’s breathing a sigh of relief.

 “I think it’s one of the most appalling things I’ve ever heard,” she said. “I cannot imagine that our system of laws works in such a way that people who are in prison for a life sentence for rape or murder, now we’re being told there’s nothing we can do and I have to let them out. I refuse that kind of discussion.”

North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper agreed. In a news release Thursday evening, he said, “In the interest of public safety and to ensure that sentences and release dates are properly calculated according to law, we have advised the Department of Correction that no prisoners have to be released until further direction from the courts.”

Can I get an Amen? Oh, but wait there’s more to the story. Next comes the guy with the long professional title, who plays devil’s advocate, defends the criminal and quotes the Constitution.
