The WaPo pulls one of its blogs after the ombudsman pisses off savvy Democrats (she should start reading blogs, in which case she would have been hip to the Abramoff gave only to Republicans thing)...
Who are all these people going to see Brokeback Mountain? I'm sorry I just don't get it -- it's not a family film... I'd think teenagers would rather see cowboys dealing with a whole different kind of six-shooter ... no straight guy is gonna be seen buying that ticket unless he's a paid film critic ... it's not exactly a couple film (cue the squirming straight guy...) and it's not a "chick film" either -- why would a girl want to see two good looking straight actors shagging each other? I guess I just don't understand the modern culture. Either that or gay people have a crap load of money to spend on movies ...
I think it's safe to say that every mine accident will now be a top news story...
There's a Black Jesus movie... Can't wait for the Bill Bennett/Pat Robertson commentary on that ...
I wonder who Israel could find to blame for those recent suicide bombings whom it coincidentally also would like to pound with airstikes... hmm... Oh here are a couple of countries!
