All that hate's gonna burn you up, kid.


Via Atrios- A remake of Red Dawn?

With Islamo-Arabs Fascists in place of Russians and Cubans?

Randal reminded me that Hollywood already made that movie. It was called "Invasion U.S.A."

I suppose it's lost on the wingnuts cheering for this that if the al-Qaeda had an actual army to invade the United States they wouldn't need to fly planes into skyscrapers and otherwise engage in guerilla tactics.

I'll let you in on a little secret- I'm keeping my finger's crossed this movie gets made. Having their goofy New York gets invaded by Arabs fantasies writ large in a big screen Hollywood film won't exactly help their cause. It'll highlight how stupid it is.

Nip it. You go read any book you want on the subject of child discipline and you'll find every one of them is in favor of bud-nipping.

Why I'm not a Right Wing Blogger by Dean Vernon Wormer.

I have a sense of shame.

The End.


(Case in point - This weekend Atrios pooches something and then publicly flogs himself for getting the basic facts of the matter wrong. At the very same time the conservative Ace of Spades completely botches another "fake memo" story but refuses to apologize or make a correction proving once again that the conservative blogsphere is made up of a bunch of intellectually stunted four year olds.)

Take your stinkin' paws of me, you damn dirty ape!

Damn, dirty hippies are apparently trying to ruin everything in Kentucky (and America.) I'm sure Digby and Duncan will be on the case.

Run away! RUN AWAAAYY!

Am I the only one that finds Andrew Sullivan highlighting through a nomination of Duncan for a "Moore award" his supreme bitch-slapping at Duncan's hands more than a bit odd?

"The willingness to send others off to die for a misguided war because you wet your pants after 9/11 is called "cowardice" not courage," - Atrios, classy as ever.

Try as I might I can find nothing ironic about Duncan's observation that the people sitting at their computers arguing about the rightness of Mr. Bush's Iraq adventure, or conflating the battle against terrorism with World War 2, or making speeches at Arlington promising to "finish the mission" are chickenshits not heroes.

The Andrew Sullivan's of the world conflate courage with stubbornness in the same way the leaders in the Catholic church remained adamant that the earth was the center of the universe long after Galileo proved them wrong. That's not courage it's obstinace.
