Pretty much. Maggie Gallagher (the real life 40 year old virgin) writes:
Two of the hottest love stories this summer are “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” and “March of the Penguins.” […]
Funny thing is, both movies are both pretty much about the same thing: […]
“The 40-Year-Old Virgin” is a quirky, rather vulgar and endearingly subversive sex comedy[.] […] The comedy here is rooted in the audience’s rueful laughter at the mishaps produced by the way the sexual drive relentlessly fuses with the restless human search for lasting love.
Which is exactly how we would summarize The March of the Penguins.

We’re ridin’ the BLT!

BLT (Basel, CH)
Here you go. This is for all of you folks poisoned by the cyanide of cynicism. Here’s the key to my free MP3 jukebox:
Now that only gives you access to about 50 of the hundreds of songs I’ve written and recorded over the years, but go for it! Tear them apart one by one. Protest each song at the rising of the sun. But when all is said and done, you will have hurt your cause. Your vituperative utterances have caused me to rise in prominance. I’m already gained a huge underground following since you’ve all been taking shots at me, so who I am to complain about your vociferous vitriol? You can run everry single song into the ground, but you can’t take away what you all wish you could take away from me—my right to freedom of speech.

Crazy Jesus Lady, August 25, 2005:
In the rough future our country faces, bad things will happen. We all know this. […] Imagine they’re planning that on the same day in the not-so-distant future, they will set off nuclear suitcase bombs in six American cities, including Washington, which will take the heaviest hit. Hundreds of thousands may die; millions will be endangered.
Evan Coyne Maloney, June 2004:
Put your hand on your neck and imagine a large knife sawing though it. (Stop and think for a minute…you can almost feel it, can’t you?) Well, that’s just one of your possible fates if we decline to fight this war.
What do wingnuts put in their coffee anyhow? Maybe Dr. BLT can write a song about it.

After much tweaking, and in no small part thanks to the help of Bruce, the first version of the style switcher (from white-on-black to black-on-white) should now be fully functional.
We had some minor issues with the new style not sticking on comments or extended entries, so we added the switch option to both windows (near the top.) Once selected in all 3 possible windows, the settings should stick (even when you close your browser.)
We hope this is to everyone’s liking — please report any problems in the comments. (Tested on Firefox and IE.)

Yes, other places may be smarter. But we have singing trolls.
I appreciate all of the viewpoints on Cindy Sheehan, but they’re all wrong. Here’s my view:

While in the process of attempting to improve your Sadly, No! experience, we made it worse.
For reasons that are beyond us the individual entry archives (which includes the extended entries) are totally messed up. Our feeble minds are working on it.
Update: Now broken in new and interesting ways.

An excellent post by Sadly, No!’s Brad R. raises the vital point that Glenn Reynolds is a c_m-guzzling monster tw_t. (Read-the-whole-thing index: Solid, Jackson!)
Instahonky links to this ABC News story called “PR Machine Behind Cindy Sheehan?” He adds, “I bet that if a GOP group were to send servicemen’s families to picket Democrats it would be getting more play. And more negative play.”
Meanwhile, at Sadly, No!, Gavin M. raises the supplementary point that Glenn Reynolds is a p__-gulping _ss-snorkler, adding that a heavily media-enabled GOP group founded by a PR firm is currently sending servicemen’s families to picket Sheehan. (Hat tip: Sadly, No!)
