Video: Dumbest Story Of The Week
This is pure catnip for atheists. As a Christian, I really hate it when nonsense like this is presented as “news.” It makes everyone involved look foolish — especially Christians.
Obviously, there’s no mystery. The bristles on the broom are flat enough and the broom is balanced enough to stand on its bristles. Again, as a Christian I don’t deny that God can be involved in many things — but this isn’t one of them.

Sarah Palin To Speak At CLSA Forum In Hong Kong
From the AP:
Former U.S. vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, once questioned about her lack of foreign policy experience, will make her first trip to Asia in September.
The former Alaska governor will visit Hong Kong to address the CLSA Investors Forum, a well-known annual conference of global investment managers, the host announced Monday.
Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Alan Greenspan have spoken at the event, hosted by brokerage and investment group CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets.
Good for her. It’s about time the financial big wigs of the world got a refresher course in free market economics.

Here is Dick Cheney’s awesome interview with Chris Wallace this past Sunday. It’s his best one yet:
Can Social Conservatism Still Win?
Can a staunch social conservative still win an election in an increasingly Democratic state? We’ll find out in November if Bob McDonnell wins the governorship in Virginia. You can read an article exploring his controversial views in depth here.
Here are some highlights:
- He described working women and feminists as “detrimental” to the family
- He criticized a Supreme Court decision legalizing contraceptive for non-married people
- In 2001, he voted against a resolution in support of ending wage discrimination between men and women
- He opposes abortion, even in cases of rape and incest
Unsurprisingly, his Democratic opponent Creigh Deeds is trying to put these social issues front and center. He hopes that moderate suburban women in northern Virginia will sour on McDonnell of his social views. I’d normally expect it to work.
But in this electoral climate it might not. Right now, the biggest worry is the economy. Moderate suburbanites are as concerned as anyone else. They’re concerned they could lose their jobs and homes.
To the extent McDonnell can keep this election about the economy his controversial social views should have only a limited impact. True, some feminists who pay enough attention to know all of the details I listed will be horrified and incensed. But most of them were probably already voting for Deeds.
Many suburban women could be persuaded to vote for McDonnell if he has a better economic message. He can make the argument that “I’m going to make sure you have a job and health insurance. This election isn’t about social issues, it’s about the economy.” He can also say as he already has that he’s changed his mind on some of these issues since he’s been in office.
Remember too, that McDonnell doesn’t need to win every female voter. He was going to lose liberal women anyway. He just needs to avoid being blown out among moderate women, and he can focus on turning out the Republican base to win.
In an ordinary year, his views would be much more of a problem. But in an economic crisis, social issues almost always recede. President Obama was able to win last year, despite voting against the infants born alive protection act as an Illinois state senator. Ironically, that same dynamic will probably help a conservative culture warrior in Virginia.

Oil Painting Of Fox News Anchor Patti Ann Browne For Sale On Ebay
I laughed my ass off for about five minutes when I saw this. Frankly, it’s the highlight of the week.
The Notorious P.A.B. (Patti’s alter ego) is represented in a lovely oil painting. If you don’t watch Fox News this painting will mean nothing to you.
If you watch Fox News, but don’t watch “Red Eye” at 3 AM during the week you probably won’t get the joke.
I’ll explain what’s in the painting, but if you don’t know what it means you’ll have to look it up yourself.
Patti Ann Browne is sitting on a thrown with Fluffy McNutter on a leash. At her feet are the heads of Greg Gutfeld, Andy Levy, and Bill Shultz. In the background are a series of unicorn heads one of which I assume belongs to Unicorn Jones.
This is the most bad ass painting ever.
Place your bid for it on Ebay!

Video: Rep. Tim Bishop Tries To Stack Town Hall With Unions — But It Backfires
This is a beautiful thing. Rep. Tim Bishop who represents New York’s 1st congressional district bussed in 3 loads of union thugs to stack his town hall.
This didn’t sit well with the grassroots folks who showed up. When the union boss said he didn’t even live in the district — the crowd went wild. The union thugs were run out of the joint.
The democrats can bus in all the phony Obamacare drones they want, but the genuine grassroots passion will not be silenced. Real passion beats phony passion no matter what.
Nice try, Bishop.
The union thugs have a huge financial interest in seeing Obamacare pass even if it kills the rest of us. So screw them.
Predictable: Lockerbie Bomber May Not Be Dying
The “compassionate” release of the Lockerbie bomber is becoming a bigger story by the hour. The entire case stinks of pay-offs, horse-trading, and outright lies.
Questions are now being raised about the doctor who made the prognosis about Megrahi’s prostate cancer. The terrorist was seen by several doctors and only one of them was willing to say he was dying. What’s more, that particular doctor may have been employed by the Libyan government.
Add that to Libyan President Moammar Gaddafi’s son’s flat-out admission that Megrahi’s release was tied to an oil deal with the British government — and we have the makings of a full-blown international scandal.

HuffPo: Maybe Mary Jo Would Have Been Happy To Die For Ted Kennedy
Some of these hardcore libs are really sick puppies:
We don’t know how much Kennedy was affected by her death, or what she’d have thought about arguably being a catalyst for the most successful Senate career in history. What we don’t know, as always, could fill a Metrodome.
Still, ignorance doesn’t preclude a right to wonder. So it doesn’t automatically make someone (aka, me) a Limbaugh-loving, aerial-wolf-hunting NRA troll for asking what Mary Jo Kopechne would have had to say about Ted’s death, and what she’d have thought of the life and career that are being (rightfully) heralded.
Who knows — maybe she’d feel it was worth it.
I don’t even know what to say to that. To even suggest that Mary Jo might feel drowning in the back of Ted Kennedy’s car was worth it is beyond the pale. Although, to be fair, most of what comes from The Huffington Post is beyond the pale.
