Aaron's Rules of Media EvidenceThe best part of blogging is just taking something someone else wrote and posting it. You get traffic and praise, and yet you did absolutely no work whatsoever in creating the post. Aaron affords me an opportunity to cut and paste my way to a book deal: Media Rules of Evidence Rule 401: Relevance Defined All evidence that President Bush is an idiot, incompetent, corrupt, a religious zealot, favoring the rich, or leading the worst economy in the history of the world is relevant, no matter the news story you're ostensibly reporting on. Evidence contradicting such a worldview is irrelevant for all purposes.
(1) Unless otherwise provided for in these Rules or in the personal agenda of your editor-in-chief, all relevant evidence is admissible, no matter what the news story. (2) Irrelevant evidence is to be ignored, and if mentioned by lunatic right-wing conspiracy theorists who think that sarin in Iraq is evidence of sarin in Iraq, that irrelevant evidence shall be admissible as evidence of the lunacy of those same right-wing conspiracy theorists.
The possibility of unfair prejudice or confusion of issues shall have no impact on the relevance of the evidence, or on the admissibility of same. Later contradiction of relevant evidence, even if well-documented and incontrovetible, is to be rigorously ignored as irrelevant. Rule 404: Evidence of prior crimes relevant when they refer to Republicans, irrelevant when the refer to Democrats (a)(1) All evidence of prior crimes, bad acts, mistakes, changes of opinion, bad haircuts, humiliating moments, gaffes, or stuff that people just made up is both relevant and admissible against Republicans, under all circumstances, no matter how dubious the reliability or probative value of that evidence. (2) All evidence of prior crimes, bad acts, mistakes, changes of opinion, bad haircuts, falling off of snowboards or bicycles, war crimes, letting girls drown while contemplating future political career, membership in the Ku Klux Klan, accusing Latinos of being racist white men, lying to Congress under oath, or general douchebaggery is neither relevant nor admissible as against Democrats, although the same shall be admissible in all cases against the right-wing fanatics to demonstrate their fanaticism and fascism.
Evidence of reputation in the community shall be inadmissible as against Democrats, because the ghastly poor can't reasonably be expected to come into contact with John Kerry enough to really understand his depth and nuance anyway. All evidence of reputation or character, when it tends to demonstrate ordinary human weaknesses or mistakes, shall be admissible against Republicans, and shall be conclusive proof that they are, in fact, worse than Hitler. .... I'd just add Rule 408, the so-called "Rape Shield Rule," stating that Evidence of a Prior Rape Shall Not Admissible Against Bill Clinton, and Rule 408 (b), which states, when it comes to Democratic scandal, it's always high time to "move on." posted by Ace at 05:47 PM
CommentsWOO HOO! This is as cool as having my own blog! Posted by: Aaron on June 3, 2004 05:50 PM
Don't be disheartened by the traitorous,liberally-biased reporting. All the BS from the pompous troika of Rather, Jennings, and Brokaw cannot stop the truth from getting out, thanks to you and your fellow soldier-bloggers, Drudge, the eloquent Fadhil brothers at Iraq The Model, and all the other voices that (GASP!) disagree with all those liberal elitist dinosaurs. If I hear one more "expert" declare Iraq to be a quagmire just like Vietnam, I may throw something at the TV. All the hand-wringing over Fallujah ignores the 8000 or so Iraqi towns of similar size that are NOT, repeat NOT warzones. All the public agonizing over body counts ignores the fact that Marines have more stomach for the fight than some grandstanding beltway blowhards I could mention. Al-Sadr's thousands-strong militia is now hundreds-strong, thanks to the leatherneck meat grinder (SEMPER FI!) Can you verify a rumor I've heard that some of the Fallujah Shi'ites are sniping at the al-sadrite thugs.? Hmm, what's Arabic for posse.....? Posted by: Chris on June 3, 2004 06:19 PM
Note: I think these Rules are a lot more funny if you've read the Federal Rules of Evidence. Maybe I should do a parody of something more well-known. Posted by: Aaron on June 3, 2004 07:12 PM
First Ditto Chris and that may be the best comment ever posted. Second: The VRWC can lose this propaganda war by assuming that everyone can see through the spin and not countering it actively in the wider media. Posted by: Jane on June 4, 2004 08:55 AM

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals. The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite. Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
