An Inconvenient Truth
Someone really ought to explain to St. Cynthia that even if the unthinkable were to happen and she actually won Nancy Pelosi’s seat in November of 2008, it would be a bit late to impeach President Bush then.

(Insufficiently) Right Said Fred?
Richard Viguerie looks at Fred?’s record and doesn’t like what he sees. Beldar deciphers the post, finding a backhanded endorsement of Fred?.

Are You a Not-Retarded American?
Apparently, I am, but YMMV.
|
You Are a Not-Retarded American |
 You know the bare minimum about US history, and unlike the author of this quiz, you probably even know the difference between “your” and “you’re.” Congratulations on bucking stereotypes. Now go out and show some foreigners that not all Yankees (and to those south of the Mason-Dixon line, that includes all y’all, too) are complete retards. |
Hat tip: some law professor who also isn’t retarded. UPDATE: The same, alas, cannot be said of a commenter.
UPDATE: Into the great sarchasm they go…
UPDATE x2: This test is better.

ICDSoft – ¡No Más!
With some help from OFJay, I’m no longer hosted on ICDSoft, and am now on Bluehost, a provider with a reputation for being more WordPress-friendly. Accordingly, I’ve lifted the requirement that commenters register. Voluntary registration is still encouraged, however.

Abortion Extortion
Today’s Scum of the Day award goes to the anonymous jerks who run Help My Baby Live, Please, threatening to abort their allegedly existent fetus if no one gives them $50,000. The only question is which kind of scum they are. Possible options:
- They really are two soulless jerks who are shallow enough to base their decision to abort or not abort a perfectly healthy kid on crass economics. Cf. Amy Richards in drag, if you will.
- He/she/it is some anti-abortion nut trying to make pro-abortionists look like Amy Richards scum. This is Snopes’s take. Trouble is, one would think any real anti-abortionist would know better than to use the phrase “pro-life” while pretending to be a pro-abortionist.
- He/she/it is some pro-abortion nut, trying to make anti-abortionists look like scum who set up web sites intended to defame pro-abortionists.
- He/she/it has no political agenda or friends of the opposite sex, and is highly unlikely ever to reproduce, but would be delighted to pocket whatever money you are willing to send his/her/its way.
Libby Scoots, Sort Of
Patterico is not pleased with President Bush’s decision to fire seven U.S. attorneys and commute Lewis “Scooter” Libby’s sentence. I agree. Bush should have fired eight U.S. attorneys and pardoned Libby outright.
