Ann Coulter is going to blow the lid off evolution...

I’ve got the same problem - I call them my orangutan arms. But you might be able to find, for roughly the same price, shirts that are labeled “athletic fit”. They have sleeves slightly longer as compared to the neck size as normal shirts.

Folks, every day Ann Coulter walks and draws breath on this planet is an indictment of evolution. She’s blowing the lid off it was we speak.

But I’d still hit it. I’d flip her over and pound her balloon knot. You know, if she was into it. I’d tell her I was white, Christian and Republican.

I once knew a UCLA graduate in Computer Science who believed Genesis literally.

Man, yeah. Good thing that mainstream serious movement conservatives aren’t at all like her:

Nope. But, she gets ratings. Money talks, journalistic integrity walks. :smack:

As for her new “Critique” of evolution, I do have to say that this is the first time I have ever seen Coulter actually promoting a conservative position (as dumb as it is). Until now, it’s just been gallon after gallon of bile and name calling towards the left.

And this, more than anything else, is what worries me about Ann Coulter and her ilk. Look, we’ve got raving loonies everywhere. I just finished a post about Squeaky Fromme’s long lost kid sister, Shirley Phelps-Roper, but those WBC loons are outcasts. No one likes them or takes them seriously. When someone like Ann Coulter is on the bestseller list and running the talk circuit among ostensibly educated people, something is wrong.

I might be waxing nostalgiac about the 80’s here, but 20 years ago, wouldn’t one expect to find Ann Coulter’s screeds listed in the back of Guns And Psychos magazine? In one of those tiny little ads on the next to the last page that you’d need a magnifying glass to make out (assuming, of course, that you had the necessary 5th grade reading level)?

It’s not that Ann Coulter is raving. It’s that her ravings are a hell of a lot more popular than they ought to be.

The journalism “industry” is almost like the video game industry. They need to keep being more and more extreme to keep people’s attention. People don’t want news, they excitement! Adventure! Glorified gossip!

If and when it all goes to shit in the end, we will have no one to blame but ourselves…

(Oh, and 20 years ago I was learning to read and geting excited about starting kindergarden in the fall :stuck_out_tongue: )

Did you read the Red State Baron’s review? comedy gold

A link, kind sir?

Apos, “Red State Baron” wrote a review on Amazon, and, I agree, it’s quite good.

Just to add onto this: the thing is, the idea of sensationalism is nothing new. Back in the 80s supermarket tabloids were a prevailing form of media, correct? The fact that soccer-moms are more engaged by glorified gossip and overhyped, self important celebrities is nothing new. The fact that young men are drawn towards professional sports rivalries and glorified soap opera proffesional wrestling is also not new.

What is new, and disturbing, is that the new venue for this buffoonery is the once respectable mainstream media, and the new scope is not celebrities or sports, but Federal leval politics.

Elect a Bush; things get hairy.

Thanks, Bird. Now I have the song from The Crying Game running through my head. :frowning:

Zinger accomplished. :smiley:

The combination of “Ann Coulter” and “blow the lid off” yields only one logical image:

…an exploding toilet.

Oh yeah, I remember 8th grade! Who would have thought that an ordinary ziplock bag and a cherry bomb could bring so much joy into a young innocent’s life. It’s the Ann Coulter’s of the world who want to outlaw that sort of thing, right along with gay marriage. Well, Ann, keep your anti-explosive nazi repression off of my indoor plumbing!![sup]*[/sup]

*OK, the Pennsylvania public school system’s indoor plumbing, but you get the idea . . .

Linty! You did that too? Excellent! :smiley:
