Michael Moore hates America. Heh.

A great post from Alphecca on Reagan, the reactions from some on the left, and his own feelings on Reagan's passing.

On NPR this morning, I heard an interview with Billy Crystal in which Susan Stamberg asked him what he was listening to on his "Walkperson". This is perhaps the most ridiculous, stupid extension of politically correct feminism that I've ever heard. How does he figure out what his "Walkperson" does? Does he read the "personual"? When he goes to audition for roles, does he read from the "personuscript"? I can't even begin to express how stupid Stamberg sounded. If she had said that to Eddie Murphy or Richard Pryor, I hope they would have made a joke at her expense. What a maroon.

Open Google, type in "John Kerry's principled positions" and hit "I'm feeling lucky.". Funny stuff. Not as funny as doing the same thing with the phrase "French military victories" but funny nonetheless.

I recently wrote about how the media is failing in it's job and that it's the American people who lose out in this kind of situation. People from both sides of the aisle frequently complain of bias towards their political adversaries but in fact, I think this is highly unlikely. While a recent Pew Research Center poll shows that journalists tend to self-identify with liberal values, I think, and The Belmont Club tends to agree (Or is that you agreeing with the Belmont club-Ed. hard to say), that the real culprit here is a lack of ability, motivation and desire to report the real news. People tend to acheive to the lowest acceptable level. Journalists are people. Until we develop higher standards for the news and media, we'll continue to get bad coverage.

I truly believe blogs will lead the way in the revolution of how the world is reported on. I was once skeptical and it's easy to forget that we are still a very small minority, but in the long run, giving people the freedom to easily report on their world has to improve the accuracy of news reporting.

K and I are currently doing two of the things that you see on any list of the most stressful events in life: planning a wedding and buying a house. I haven't decided yet which is more stressful but Dan Drezner argues for the house.

Civil liberties take another hit in Ashcroft's America. I can't imagine that the Supreme Court wouldn't overturn the lower court's ruling on having to provide identification at all times. If I'm out running, I don't carry ID and shouldn't be required to. If you go for a walk around the neighborhood, you shouldn't be required to carry ID. This seems to be a true overreach of the powers of law enforcement in a democracy. But this is what is truly scary in the argument above:

Even some conservatives, such as Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl, support the idea of so-called Social Security cards with biometric identifiers such as retina scans and electronic fingerprints.
How can someone call themselves a conservative yet favor cards with retina scans and electronic fingerprints? This is very frightening if the case stands. Via BitchGirls.
