… to think Ann Coulter was an absolute moron. There are few people more intent on sounding chaotically stupid than this woman. Read her latest column at HumanEvents.com (two things: how terrible is that name? and since when do conservatives need an underground?).

No, seriously. Read it.

Okay… valid statements right? Sure. Until (and most of you know this) you realize the article she’s basing these bold assumptions on was clearly an April Fool’s joke. I wouldn’t expect you to, though, because even she, a hard-nosed, fact-hound, missed it.

This woman sells millions of books. People actually look to her as an intellectual guide. Her vitriolic words are held in high regard to parts of our nation. It (among a dozen other things) concerns me she failed to realize something so glaringly obvious.

Regardless of your education or ideology, anyone that thinks this woman credible should take a moment to clear their empty heads. Rush Limbaugh is obviously a blowhard idiot. Bill O’Reilly is an ignorant bully. And Ann should be among them, recognized as the baffoon she is.

How was your April Fools day? I’m sure if you agreed with the finer points (there aren’t any) of Coulter’s article, you’re likely amazed Google came up with CADIE without warning or are wondering when the eyeCamera 4.1 will hit Circuit City.

One can only hope her readers, Limbaugh’s listeners and O’Reilly’s viewers are a too-vocal minority. Because if their ilk are the real majority, we’re in more trouble than a lead car fishtailing into the final lap. (If you know what I mean.) (What do I mean?)

Thanks @ConvincingIndie for the tip.

what an ass...

what an ass...

After all the whining about how Christmas is being eroded, dismantled and violently attacked by domestic terrorists, where’s the “Christmas” in this post? (“Winter season,” eh?) Did you forget your one-man crusade? That you’re wasting airtime with your pathetic display offends me but you don’t even have the balls for consistency?

Maybe you’ve just realized the fight is lost. Christmas is a distorted holiday, bastardized into a retail circle-jerk. (If any of you watch Fox News, sorry for blowing your mind just there, should’a warned ya.) Does it matter what we call it?

Most Christmas celebrations occur between it and New Years; thus there are two (plural). Which, according to English-as-first-language, means “the holidays” is usually correct. Arguing that referring to them as such is anti-Christian makes you an ignorant dick but not using your own rhetorical idiocy? That’s just impressive.

It’s bad enough I already have to listen to shit Christmas music and watch terrible ads for extravagant gifts no one can afford. Now I have to watch (clips of; never made it through an entire “Factor” for health reasons) a desperate idiot talk to complete morons about an imagined war he can’t even live up to.

(More on thecontroversy“)

(Incidentally, FoxNews.com—Factor especially—still looks absolutely terrible in compliant, modern browsers. Think it’s because their target audience is so smart and adept? Yeah… that’s probably it…)

Full disclosure: I despise almost all holidays (save New Years and Thanksgiving) and couldn’t care less what they’re labeled.
