For the love of all that is holy, sacred and true..

Please tell me some kind soul among you taped the "Atomic Shakespeare" episode of Moonlighting last night on Nick At Nite?

I don't know why this had me laughing until my ribs were sore, but..

The Master: The Daleks are planning to exterminate you as soon as you twiddly hippy jeep..

Emma: Sorry. That was me.

I SO need to dig out my treasured download of "Curse Of The Fatal Death".

Tom DeLay is a gibbering idiot

We pretty much already knew this, but let's let laughing boy himself set this up (courtesy of this post at This Modern World):

Tom DeLay:

"You know, if Houston, Texas, was held to the same standard as Iraq is held to, nobody'd go to Houston, because all this reporting coming out of the local press in Houston is violence, murders, robberies, deaths on the highways," DeLay said.

"And if you took that as the image of what is a great city that has an incredible quality of life and an incredible economy, it's amazing to me. Go to Iraq. And see what's actually happening there."

"Everybody that comes from Iraq is amazed at the difference of what they see on the ground and what they see on the television set."

That might well be a valid criticism there, Tom. How about we hear from an actual Iraqi who would be amazed at the difference between what they see and your delusional yammerings.

Genties and ladlemen, I give you Iraqi blogger Riverbend:

Yep. Things are going just peachy keen!

Oh, for pity's sake.. O'Reilly's at it again.

The entire Air America staff should be put in chains because they're traitors.

O'REILLY: And when he [Durbin] went out there, his intent was to whip up the American public against the Bush detainee policy. That's what his intent was. His intent wasn't to undermine the war effort, because he never even thought about it. He never even thought about it. But by not thinking about it, he made an egregious mistake because you must know the difference between dissent from the Iraq war and the war on terror and undermining it. And any American that undermines that war, with our soldiers in the field, or undermines the war on terror, with 3,000 dead on 9-11, is a traitor.

(Hey Bill - how is speaking your mind undermining the war? Fucking fool. But wait, folks, it gets better!)

Everybody got it? Dissent, fine; undermining, you're a traitor. Got it? So, all those clowns over at the liberal radio network, we could incarcerate them immediately. Will you have that done, please? Send over the FBI and just put them in chains, because they, you know, they're undermining everything and they don't care, couldn't care less.

I'd be pissed off, but at this point the shrillness of freaks like O'Reilly is just laughable. I can't wait to see what The Daily Show makes of this.

House Approves Flag-Burning Amendment

WASHINGTON - The House on Wednesday approved a constitutional amendment that would give Congress the power to ban desecration of the American flag, a measure rejected twice by the Senate in the past decade but expected to get a closer vote this year.

(snip)

"Ask the men and women who stood on top of the (World) Trade Center," said Rep. Randy (Duke) Cunningham, R-Calif. "Ask them and they will tell you: pass this amendment."

*FACEPALM*

(Agree with this or not, but if what that gibbering bastard said doesn't piss you off and the games the far Reich are playing with the memories of the fallen of That Day doesn't piss you off, then I frankly pity you.)

But Rep. Jerrold Nadler (news, bio, voting record), D-N.Y., said, "If the flag needs protection at all, it needs protection from members of Congress who value the symbol more than the freedoms that the flag represents."

Amen, brother, amen.
