DISQUS

Dan:
1) It's "brunettes", not "brunets", unless you are referring to smart men liking MALEs, who would then be referred to as blonds and bruns.
2) it may be true that thoughtfulness is not prerequisite to the outer-lying (not fringe) edges of a social idea, but in my experience, as in Mill's, most of the hundreds (or more likely thousands) of "Liberals" I have met have been very learned, well read and intellectual. In contrast, the overwhelming majority of so-called "conservatives" I've met in my days have been disdainful of intellectualism, empiricism and logic, preferring to trust the messages their "guts" send them that confirm a narrow worldview.
If your experience is different than mine, great.
And Tom K, there's not a hell of a lot of difference between the tories and our conservatives today, just as there isn't a lot of difference between Scotch-Irish rednecks of the 19th century and our very own today.

John Stuart Mills once said "Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative"

Ergo conservpedia.

It's important to keep in mind that even within the ranks of the fringe-right xtian conservative set, there's a powerful movement, a real live grassroots rebellion, to address climate change.

The leadership is working hard to quell this uprising, but those efforts are failing and the people who make up that demographic are beginning to wrest some of the power away from the money/politics/ideology-mongers who have led them to where they are today.

So, I think conservepedia will die a death of attrition, because it is, as Steve Bowbrick says, as useful and worthwhile as a pet rock. Nothing needs to be done.

yeah! great job BG!

Yeah Scorcese. I mean, great! but duh. If they hadn't the academy would have had even less credibility than it has now.

Indeed there went Helen Mirren, and man she looked good.

Sorry, but I can't see things like the Beyonce/JHudson number without thinking of my Over the Top Symptoms.

The Mrs. says: look, they put peter o'toole right up front. He's like the reigning old guy now...
I say what about Sean Connery? He should get Reigning Old Guy.

And we just missed Jerry Seinfeld picking his nose. **just** missed it.

I read his lips, he definitely said "it is my intention to begin my run for president of the United States".
Really. He did.

Man, I just walked in the door and haven't even turned the TV on. But the looks of these comments, seems like I don't have to!
I'm really rooting for Scorcese. Me and 300million other people, but still.
He's due.

I had no intention of watching the grammys, but your post has completely changed my mind BG. I am so there. See ya sunday!

I can't believe I forgot to add this, knowing how much our Dear Editor loves top 10 lists. One of my all-time favorite lists is Molly Ivins' Top 3 Most Overrated Things:
Young pussy, Mack trucks and the FBI.

Every word that woman uttered was memorable. Nobody could skewer a worshiped institution like she could, with so few words!

What a loss.

And Anna Nicole is all over the papers today. "The Scandalous Life of Anna Nicole Smith" "TV Personality Dies" etc. >>

NJ's music is inspiring in so many ways and as a musician I think of her as one of the riverkeepers who will ensure that there is an American musical tradition after our culture tires of the Britneys.
And all that without mentioning that she's as hot as a penny on a summer sidewalk.

I hope that when I die my implants get me on the index.html of yahoo!
