Classy guy, that Boris Becker.

Drops his wife off at the hospital in pre-term labor, then skives off to a restaurant where he finds the time to shag some model in a broom closet.

And he writes about it, in his own autobiography.

Didn’t people used to be ashamed about this sort of thing?

Aussie Blogger Tim Blair, with the brilliant James Lileks, has developed the “First Boilerplate Amendment.” He describes it here. As he says, this Amendment is

…for occasions when editors demand things like this be inserted into copy:

Of course, none of this is to suggest that all Muslims/leftists/environmentalists are terrorists/zombies/retarded, and I in no way wish to infer that these killers/cranks/feebs are responsible for global crime/destruction of values/frostbite in North Platte, Nebraska.

Thereafter such a paragraph, according to proposed legislation, would follow our Amendment:

But they are.

Yup.

… which is kind of like headlining an article “Gravity: still around” or “Sun expected to rise in a.m.”

I am slightly puzzled by the difference in reaction to slovenly turnip cabmin Claudette Bradshaw, and slick weasel cabmin Allan Rock. Both have their palms greased by the Irving family. Rock is sneaky. Bradshaw is slightly sneaky, but then turns around and gets the government–read, me–to pay for her greasing.

All of a sudden Bradshaw is Sweet Holy Purity, and Rock remains Toronto Scum.

So if Rock had me write a check for his payoff (via Revenue Canada), that would be fine.

I was thinking last week about the stupid Reuter-esque line “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.”

I wonder how Liberals would feel about “one woman’s abortion-provider is another woman’s serial baby killer.”

I happen to be pro-choice by the way. I’m just asking the question. Just trying to be helpful, you know.

So she’s sometimes over the top–for example, the famous quote that we should invade Islamic countries, assassinate their dictators, and convert the populace to Christianity… errrr, maybe a little more than just “over the top”…

But the Talking Ann Coulter Doll is awesome! My favourite line:

“Liberals hate America, they hate flag-wavers, they hate abortion opponents, they hate all religions except Islam, post 9/11. Even Islamic terrorists don’t hate America like Liberals do. They don’t have the energy. If they had that much energy, they’d have indoor plumbing by now.”

tee hee

Sorry for the long delay in posting–I had Blogger problems and could not access the system for days!

more posts later today…

Using what I call “the Suzuki Principle” has saved me considerable time and effort in developing appropriate and sensible opinions on a number of issues of the day. David Suzuki, a professor of environmental quackery at the University of British Columbia and a gadfly television personality, happens to be a hard-core left-winger. In addition, he appears to be barking mad. Any time he makes known his opinion about a political issue, you can reliably bet that he will be wrong. Completely, 180 degrees, utterly, howlingly mistaken.

All you have to do is take the position OPPOSITE to Suzuki’s, and you stand a pretty good chance of being right.

In the heat of political argument, right-wingers (both conservatives and libertarians) sometimes call their left-wing opponents “communists”. This is at once both childishly superficial and deeply wrong: communists were and are history’s foulest murderers. Stalin’s forced starvation of the Ukraine ranks close to the Nazi Holocaust as the most evil act of all time, and the continued existence of communist prison camp “countries” (North Korea, Cuba) in my view pushes the Communists just a nose ahead of the Nazis in the race to the bottom of hell.

But until then, go and have a look at October 15′s Cox and Forkum cartoon.

Communism IS just another form of government… you know, like slavery is just another form of employment.

What Bush SHOULD have said to the Dems a couple of months ago, from IMAO.

HAHAHAHAHAHA
