Like a shorter, but better

Elton and his readers offer Haiku George W. Bush on the constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.

 

Shorter Mary Ann Glendon as Captain Jean-Luc Picard

Following up on our earlier post (click here or scroll down.) [Adapted from a comment we left at World O’Crap, inspired by Doug Gillett.]

Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: First Contact:

I will not sacrifice the Enterprise, I have made too many compromises already, too many retreats. They invade our space, and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds, and we fall back. But not again, the line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they’ve done!

Mary Ann Glendon in the Wall Street Journal:

This whole judicial review crap has gone on far enough! I will not sacrifice the sanctity of marriage, we have made too many compromises already, too many retreats. They invade our armed forces, and we fall back. They get their own TV shows, and we fall back. But not again, the line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they’ve done!

[This post basically entirely rewritten from a shorter, a concept inspired by busy, busy, busy from an idea by D-Squared.]

 

Shorter Michelle Malkin

Hollywood’s death row fetish

Liberal bias is so rampant in Hollywood that they refused to give Charles Bronson an Oscar for his work in Death Wish.

 

Who is the most powerful woman in the world?

No, it’s not Amber Pawlik. Or Richard Perle. It’s… Hillary!

A new book by New York Times best-selling author Richard Poe profiles, for the first time, the true story of how a group of “renegade journalists” ? including, prominently, WND’s Joseph Farah ? fought to expose America’s darkest scandals through the Internet, and how the most powerful woman in the world tried to stop them.

Sure, it wasn’t all that great when Hillary killed that nice man Vince Foster. Or when she had Buddy eliminated because he was going to spill the beans to Matt Drudge. Sadly, that is but a small part of what she did:

Hillary Clinton commanded a secret police operation dedicated to silencing dissent, muzzling media critics, intimidating political foes, whitewashing Clinton scandals, and obstructing justice

A secret police operation eh? Just how deep does this operation go?

Hillary’s operatives infiltrated every level of the news media, federal law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and the federal court system, the book chronicles.

Oh my, that doesn’t sound good. Not at all. Well, at least we now know why all that intelligence on Iraq was bogus, why the mainstream media completely ignored all those Clinton scandals (Monica who?,) and why the New York Times keeps giving her all that great coverage, like when they said she was “more complicated than her feminazi image.” It’s because Hillary and her minions control them all!

…the courageous new journalists of the Internet underground defied the odds and exposed the shocking truth about history?s most corrupt presidency. This is their story.

The Internet underground… The Net starring Joseph Farah as Sandra Bullock. Exciting!

Written with all the drama and tension of a gripping novel, this carefully researched book gives the inside story of how these modern-day patriots endured Hillary’s attacks, and emerged from the battlefield to become a sprawling, innovative news source reaching tens of millions each day. “Hillary?s Secret War” presents a tale of dogged courage and sacrifice, one of the greatest untold stories in the annals of journalism.

We hear that Mel Gibson has bought the movie rights.

 

So it’s not a joke right?

We found ourselves wondering if someone wasn’t pulling our leg in this Wall Street Journal editorial, authored by a Harvard law professor:

President Bush’s endorsement of a constitutional amendment to protect the institution of marriage should be welcomed by all Americans who are concerned about equality and preserving democratic decision-making.

Fortunately, s.z. at World O’Crap read the whole thing and provides a useful, paragraph-by-paragraph translation:

President Bush’s endorsement of a plan to write discrimination into the Constitution should be welcomed by all Americans who are concerned about equality, and don’t want homosexuals to get any. And if you don’t welcome it, then you’re probably a Commie.

Do yourselves a favor and read the whole thing.

 

There is Chewbacca of course…

Harry from SlyFelinos reports that the good professor of law from the State of Tennessee has activated the Chewbacca defense.

On second thought though, perhaps the fictional character Glenn Reynolds most resembles is Saturday Night Live/Phil Hartman’s Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.

 

If only you losers understood the rules

Alberto explains life to us poorly informed idiots:

On Tuesday, the White House counsel, Alberto R. Gonzales, said that critics of the detentions at Guant?namo were ill-informed. Mr. Gonzales, in a speech to a meeting of the American Bar Association, said that the critics failed to understand that the detentions should not be viewed as a civilian law-enforcement situation in which people are entitled to be charged and tried or released. Under the laws of war, he said, they can be detained “and they need not be guilty of anything.”

Isn’t America great?

Thanks to a reader for the link.

 

Ah, if only we had a pepper bar!

We thought we were the only ones extremely disturbed by this (and that,) but luckily it’s not just us.

 

Oh what a PAC!

We wish we could say we’re surprised, but… sadly, no! A visit to FrontPageMagazine takes on a wild and magical journey to:

STOP Hillary PAC

Dear friends, do you suppose the good PAC people are thinking about what William Safire is thinking?

It is very likely that Hillary Rodham Clinton is going to run for President of the United States in 2004.

Inside the Washington, DC Beltway, the “professional Republicans” do not believe she will run; instead, the conventional wisdom is that she will wait until 2008 to run.

Guess what? These are the very same people who, back in 1992, never thought then-President George H.W. Bush could possibly lose to a draft-dodging, pot-smoking newcomer named Bill Clinton. So they took Clinton lightly and never even attacked his atrocious record in Arkansas! [Emphasis added]

Oh no, not this again. The PAC’s web site is full of interesting and amusing features, such as a Hillary Translator. What it does is take a series of fairly innocent remarks by Hillary and tell you what she really means. Want some examples? Here you go:

When Hillary says:

So, how do we get smarter and fresher in posing that alternative…? We want to be looking for new ways to move the entire American enterprise forward.

What she really means is:

I will never rest until we have true European socialism in our government. The thing is, the media and the public are so darned easy to manipulate. I am going for cradle-to-the-grave coverage. If i call it the ‘American enterprise,’ I can do anything I want. Just sound patriotic while instituting a truly radical agenda!” [Emphasis in original]

Aren’t you glad you now know what Hillary really meant?

There are many more, so please do stop by and help. It looks like they could really use the help:

Please help now. Do it for America.

 

You always hurt the one you love

Our good friend Amber Pawlik emails the management to complain that we never kept this promise:

The people of Sadly, No! require sleep, so Amber will have to wait another day… See you in the morning.

Amber writes:

Ah, but you promised.

[…]

I’ll assume you have nothing, like usual.

Ouch!
