Kevin Bacon Caused The Bridge To Collapse

This is just too funny to pass on - original post by Frank J. on IMAO.US:

The dust hadn’t even settled and no formal report as been issued on the cause, and liberal blogs are already abuzz about how the Minneapolis bridge collapse is Boooosh’s fault. It goes something like this:

1. Boooosh had an illegal war in Iraq.
2. War draws money away from states.
3. States no longer manage their infrastructure.
4. Bridge collapses.

I don’t think they’re looking at the whole picture though. The bridge collapse is obviously the fault of Kevin Bacon. This is why:

1. Kevin Bacon starred in Footloose.
2. The movie inspired Americans to rise against the system and dance.
3. This carefree attitude gradually evolved into structural engineers feeling life is too short to properly inspect bridges.
4. Bridge collapses.

I tell you, nothing in this country that goes wrong isn’t somehow linked to Kevin Bacon. Someone has to stop him.

John Edwards, Metrosexual

By Bernard Chapin, as appearing in this Intellectual Conservative article:

John Edwards has normalized the distasteful habit of men obsessing over their grooming and appearance.

The mainstream media pillories Ann Coulter in a manner that they do few other conservative commentators. Their hatred for her is widespread which is understandable because her wit and bravery make her far more daunting than any other pundit on the Right. If politics corresponded with chess, her value would equate with that of the queen.

In March, the press reacted with fury after she called Presidential candidate John Edwards a “faggot.” They dubbed it an anti-gay slur because faggot, thanks to political correctness, has now become a verboten term. Oh, it does remain appropriate should a gay person say it but when uttered by anyone else it is a term of hate.

Of course, the term has nothing to do with hate, and Coulter was not attempting to bash gays when she said it. She was going after far queerer folk; namely Senator John Edwards. As she explained: “C’mon, it was a joke. I would never insult gays by suggesting that they are like John Edwards. That would be mean.”

Senator Edwards’ problems have nothing to do with his sexual orientation or anybody else’s, but everything to do with his being a trivial non-entity. His version of leadership reflects a complete void of masculinity. Metrosexual is the best way to describe this soon-to-be-trounced Presidential contender. The evidence for his being one is rapidly becoming irrefutable.

Consider Monday night’s Democratic debate for instance. In a most bizarre interlude, Edwards turned towards Hillary Clinton and gave her some fashion advice. In regards to a question about what he didn’t like about Hillary he said, “I’m not sure about that coat.” No doubt she would have made a better decision had she perused his weekly fashionista column before deciding on the night’s color scheme. There is no question that metrosexuals have considerable cache when it comes to couture.

Edwards has also been known to spend $400 on a haircut and his infatuation with his appearance was flamboyantly evident in a video that came out last year. What we can be certain of is that there is nothing manly about this former Senator. He is a fop and a dandy. Edwards also has done much to substantiate Coulter’s insinuation that there is something a little funny about him over the course of the last few months.

Most damning is his habit of getting his wife to fight his battles for him. Last month, Mrs. Edwards called up the program Hardball to pick a fight with Coulter on her husband’s behalf. Coulter appropriately asked during her rant, “Why isn’t John Edwards making this call?” He did not make the phone call because it was more convenient to hide behind his wife.

I’m no great proponent of chivalry, but the last thing a man should ever do is use his wife as an instrument for self-defense. Seeking the shelter of a skirt when you’re under siege is not an act in keeping with manly virtue; yet, there seems to be no sign of Mrs. Edwards discontinuing her role as her husband’s Swiss Guard. Just last week, she criticized Hillary Clinton’s capacity to adequately advance the needs of women. Here again, we see that the pusillanimous Senator has asked his wife to do his dirty work.

Given the former Senator’s recent behaviors and tendencies, I think that it’s time for our nation’s trendy politically correct journalists to issue an apology to Ann Coulter. Even if her choice of words was regrettable, there is no denying that John Edwards is a man that no boy would want to grow up to be. 

I have said it before but we all owe Ann Coulter our thanks and support because without brave conservative figures like her, the general public would have no chance to roll back the parameters of political correctness. Coulter expands the marketplace of ideas and prevents cultural Marxism from continuing to establish the rules by which we speak and live.

John Edwards will always be remembered but not for his electoral success. He has normalized the distasteful habits of men obsessing over their grooming and appearance, along with the need to hide behind your wife when the going gets tough.

PropagandaTube

Taken from this Fox News article:

The hardline Islamic group Hizb ut-Tahrir has started posting professionally produced propaganda video clips on YouTube.  

The clips, some lasting almost 10 minutes, posted on the internet video-sharing site depict Muslims being attacked by Western forces and asks “for how much longer?”

Produced by the group’s Malaysian branch, the clips call on Muslims to “arise and shake off the dust” of European colonialism and show members marching in support of Palestinians to the commentary “O armies of the Muslim world, we wait for your help.”

“For how much longer” you ask? Until we run out of terrorists, for starters…

 

Edwards Hedge Fund $oaks ‘Cane Victims

More from the “John Edwards is a crooked douchebag” files:

Embarrassed presidential hopeful John Edwards promised yesterday to take millions of dollars of his own fortune out of a hedge fund tied to subprime lenders who foreclosed on victims of Hurricane Katrina.

The populist candidate - who has denounced such lenders - invested $16 million of his $30 million in assets in Fortress Investment Group. The Wall Street Journal reported that 34 New Orleans homeowners struggling to overcome Katrina’s aftermath faced foreclosure suits from subprime-lending units of Fortress.

Yesterday, the red-faced Democratic candidate vowed to remove from his portfolio any Fortress funds that have a stake in those lender units.

“I will not have my family’s money involved in these firms that are foreclosing on people in New Orleans,” he said while on the campaign trial in Des Moines, Iowa.

When Fortress’ connections to subprime lenders were reported in May, Edwards said he was unaware of it and would ask the company to help Katrina victims faced with losing their homes.

Sources said Edwards spoke to senior Fortress executives and was assured something would be done.

But the Journal’s disclosures indicated the foreclosures were still being pursued and that led him to decide yesterday to divest his stake, they said.

Edwards, a former North Carolina senator, has other connections to Fortress. He worked for the firm as a senior adviser after his losing 2004 race as Sen. John Kerry’s vice-presidential running mate. He was paid $479,512 for part-time work last year, records show.

Fortress executives also have donated more than $150,000 to Edwards’ campaign during the first six months of the year.

A spokesman for the campaign said he didn’t know how quickly Edwards would be able to divest the controversial funds. He declined to say whether Edwards would give back the adviser’s fee or the campaign contributions.

Sorry Roy Pearson, you don’t hold a candle to this guy… maybe he’ll buy you a pair of pants if the court rules in his favor. Here is the full FoxNews coverage of the suit.

Bishop Urges Christians to call God “Allah”

In an effort to ease rising tensions between Muslims and Catholics, Tiny Muskins, a Catholic bishop in the Netherlands has suggested that people of all faiths should refer to God as “Allah.” According to this WorldNetDaily report:

Tiny Muskens, the bishop of Breda, told the Dutch TV program “Network” Monday night he believes God doesn’t mind what he is called, Radio Netherlands Worldwide reported. The Almighty is above such “discussion and bickering.”

Perhaps needless to mention, this proposal has met much rejection and criticism:

I’m sure his intentions are good but his theology needs a little fine-tuning,” said Father Jonathan Morris, a Roman Catholic priest based in Rome. Morris, a news analyst for FOX News Channel, also called the idea impractical.

“Words and names mean things,” Morris said. “Referring to God as Allah means something.”

Words do mean things, and they can all be summed up in this catchy tune: Islam’s Not For Me (source and lyrics: faithfreedom.org)

Congressional Approval Rating Up 1%

According to this Zogby international approval ratings report:

[The approval survey] shows that the overall job approval rating for the work of Congress remains far below the President’s, as just 15% give the national legislature a collective positive rating, up one point since last month. Changes in both the ratings for the President and Congress are statistically insignificant.

Here is a picture of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi congratulating themselves over that one point gain:

Holy Hostility, Bat Man

According to this Breitbart article:

Former major league All-Star Jose Offerman was charged with two counts of second-degree assault after hitting an opposing team’s pitcher and catcher with his bat during an independent minor league game.

Offerman posted $10,000 bond and was due in Bridgeport Superior Court on Aug. 23, court officials said Wednesday.

Offerman, playing for the Long Island Ducks in the Atlantic League, homered in the first inning Tuesday night. The next inning, he was hit by a pitch from Bridgeport Bluefish starter Matt Beech and charged the mound with his bat.

Catcher John Nathans was hit in the head and sustained a concussion. He tried to keep playing, but left the game with nausea and collapsed in the dugout, team spokesman Nick Razzette said.
