Prosecutors say Kobe lied to authorities
: "Still, Denver trial lawyer Craig Silverman said it may not matter if Bryant lied to investigators.
'I don't think it means a lot,' Silverman said. 'In the post-Bill Clinton era it's not surprising that a married man would lie about a martial infidelity.' "

Frank Rich: Why Liberals Are No Fun
: "At Fox, Mr. Ailes invented not only agenda-driven news ingeniously branded 'fair and balanced' but also 'the whoosh': that sound that announces the arrival of a new headline. The whoosh may be idiotic, but TV wasn't long ago christened the idiot box for nothing. Idiocy can be fun."

Obesity: Whose fault is it?
: "Opponents of the food industry promise more lawsuits. A group of public health officials, consumer advocates and lawyers, many of whom sued tobacco companies, met last month in Boston to plot legal strategy against the food companies."
'Opponents of the food industry.'
Please wake me when it's over.

Bottled Water Creating A Mess: "'Sometimes I can’t figure it out, they say ‘plastic’ and you have to sit and think for a minute whether it’s plastic or whatever. It’s too much thinking involved,' said Ella Fial. "
Has she no shame?:
"There have been some wonderfully silly posts in here by lefty-lurkers and others, yours among them, so let me clear some things up:
1. Yes, I can read. I read Conason, and I read Coulter. Unlike you (and some others) I actually read both! Worse for me, I suppose, I actually lived through most of the years she discusses, so I know first-hand what she's talking about, and trust me, she's right. By the way, a personal request: Please, in the future, when are trying to be witty, say something that's actually witty; otherwise you just seem silly and petty.
2. The theme of Coulter's book is that for fifty years the left has in general acted and spoken publicly in such a way as to always give aid and comfort to the enemy. The occasional specific exception (e.g., Scoop Jackson, or the occasional moment of an Al Gore--most people probably won't remember; it was in the 80's) does not disprove the general thesis. That's the subject Conason fails to or refuses to engage. Instead, he spends however many words name-calling like a six year old, which is the kind of exertion that should raise the antennae: why, in that much space, can't he at least try to answer her general charge? Instead, the strategy of his piece is to claim that she left some things out, or got this or that specific instance of things wrong. The fact is (for example), there were communists in the State Department, and they were defended by Democrats, and promoted by Democrats, despite warnings by authorities. More recently, Democrats led the charge not just against the Viet Nam war, but for Ho Chi Minh. They praised Sadaam.... One should be entitled to ask, after a certain point, what's with these guys (and women) Why do they always--always!--take the anti-American position? These are sensible questions, asked by Coulter, unanswered by Conason.
If you're a controversialist like Coulter, you could then ask the next logical question, which is: how would the positions taken by Democrats be different if they were actively seeking to undermine the country? Again, from Conason, words and words, but no answer, other than to call Ann in so many words a penis-head.
The point of the headline to my post was that some men refuse to take women seriously. Name-calling is not a serious argument. Ask yourself this question: if treason had been written by, say, Christopher Hitchens or George Will or Bill Buckley, would Conason respond with this bitch-screed?
I hope this is helpful."
