At Least Gibson Was Drunk #2
The last acceptable form of bigotry in America indeed. Don't hold your breath for any Gibson-like apology. (link via Open Book)

So That's Why Johnny Can't Read
I'm supportive of this school district's policy to "ban" cleavage, but things would be a whole lot easier if they just required school uniforms. And don't even get me started as to why this story is even considered news.

Catholic and Republican
I often hear and read how many Catholics in this country refuse to identify with either of the two major political parties because, it is claimed, there are aspects in each party's national platform which run counter to the Catholic faith. It's pretty easy to see how this is true with the Democrat Party, what with its express support for abortion and homosexual rights (pg.38), as well as embryonic stem cell research (pg.31). I don't, however, see anything in the GOP platform which goes against unchangeable Catholic tenets. Am I missing something, or are people just talking out of their rear ends?

Say it Loud! Say it Proud!
Ms. Magazine wants women and girls who have had an abortion to stand up and proudly proclaim that they have killed their unborn babies.
[sarcasm]Outstanding.[/sarcasm]

Yeah, Jimmah didn't expressly lash out at Jews here, but we all know what's driving his long held and public contempt for Israel. C'mon now.

Mel's Lapse Into Extreme Stupidity
Yeah, yeah, everything's alleged at this point, but I'd say there's a 99% chance Gibson did what he was cited for by police.
Update: Wow. How incredibly sad, if this is true.
Update 2: Gibson apologizes.

Ann Coulter: Snark Attack
The Unhinged Left usually deserve it, but Charlotte Allen is neither Unhinged nor a political leftist, so the 'tude AC gave to Charlotte in this interview was disappointing. (link via RelapsedCatholic)

How Many Like This Are in the CIA?
John Hinderaker at Powerline highlights recent public threats that former CIA employee and current DemonRat Party darling, Larry Johnson, made to conservative bloggers.
Of worthwhile note about Mr. Johnson is that immediately before 9/11 happened, he actually wrote in the New York Times that the threat of terrorism against Americans was declining! And yet, Johnson is apparently still viewed and hailed by the Dems as an "expert" on terrorism. Unbelievable.

Muy Caliente!
It's around 9:00pm and according to The Weather Channel website, it's about 81 degrees with 61% humidity in the central OC area. Blech!

3rd Circuit Says L@p Dancing Not Protected Speech
At least not when there's booze around. More details here. No indication that there were any visual demonstrations.

John Yoo and Jim Chen
Two Americans of Asian descent who clerked for the great Justice Clarence Thomas and are now prominent university law professors (Yoo at Berkeley and Chen at the Univ. of Minnesota).
Obviously, these guys are really smart, but I gotta tell ya, John Yoo's writing is as dry as cardboard (see, e.g., The Powers of War and Peace, which I just started reading) and a lot of Jim Chen's stuff is a bit beyond the scope of my comprehension (science and math were never strong suits of mine).

The Strangest of Bedfellows
The ACLU is representing Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church (of "God Hates F@gs" fame) in a lawsuit against the State of Missouri over a law which restricts protesting at funerals. (link via Drudge)
The church and the Rev. Fred Phelps say God is allowing troops, coal miners and others to be killed because the United States tolerates gay men and lesbians.
Missouri lawmakers were spurred to action after members of the church protested in St. Joseph, Mo., last August at the funeral of Army Spec. Edward L. Myers.
The law bans picketing and protests "in front of or about" any location where a funeral is held, from an hour before it begins until an hour after it ends. Offenders can face fines and jail time.
Given the track record that the ACLU has with promoting g@y rights, I wonder if anyone is asking Phelps how he is allowing himself and his "church" to be represented by folks whom he obviously thinks are going to Hell. Now that would be something to see and hear.

Big Surprise: LA Times Runs Misleading Story...Again
Paul at Powerline notes how the LA Dog Tranier's July 3, 2006 story about the difficulty Mitt Romney would have if he ran for President in '08 isn't exactly truthful. Although I personally don't think I could support a Romney nomination, it wouldn't be because he's Morman.
