Podcast: Dolly Parton...an American classic, Michigan's El Sayed is part of our future destruction, More Global Warming nonsense, mail-in balloting restrictions, Darline Graham? Get rid of family dynasties...and more!

Dolly Parton is badgered into saying something negative about Trump's bus-board locker-room talk, but refuses to bow to the media pressure, telling the twink agitator she learned long ago to "keep your damned mouth shut"
What I'm appreciating is that while her surface is soft and sweet, she's got some actual steel a centimeter underneath.

1977 interview shows that Barbara Walters has always been a seaward and Dolly Parton always had "country class"
Walters actually asks Dolly Parton if she knows that people think she's a joke. This because Walters can't get over the fact that a show-woman has 1, big breasts, and 2, dresses a bit outrageously because, get this, she's an entertainer. A stage performer. You know, someone people pay money to see live and expect them to put on a show.
She never would attack Liberace for wearing glitter-tuxedos. But she's mad that Dolly Parton makes Barbara Walters look bad through association (by being a woman). Babs, you wish people associated the two of you. Believe me, we can tell the difference.

Months ago, I reported that the final Zodiac cypher had been cracked and the name of the killer revealed. And the name of the killer turned out to be someone suspected in the unsolved Black Dahlia murder. The general tone of my mention of this was "serious you guys, this is real."
Well, it's not real. It's total bullshit.
Sorry about that. I did two things: 1, I bought into something, a conspiracy theory really, because it was new and exciting. And 2, I allowed a self-declared "expert" to snow me over with his "expert" claims about solving ciphers, an alleged expertise I could not challenge because I know practically nothing about codebreaking. I remember being similarly swindled by self-declared "experts" babbling about "chromatic aberrations." (Although I didn't really buy into that, but I found it "interesting" and I wasn't strongly skeptical about it. Hey they said they're "experts," they must know that they're talking about, right?)
I screwed up. It won't be the last time, I'm sure.

Chocolate Cherry Cordial
You must not think me mad when I tell you what I found below the thin shell of chocolate used to disguise this bonbon's true face. Yes! Hidden beneath its rich exterior is a hideously moist cherry cordial! What deranged architect could have engineered this non-Euclidean aberration? I dare not speculate.

Caramel Chew
There is a dimension ruled by a blind caramel God-King who sits on a vast, cyclopean milk-chocolate throne while his mindless, gooey followers dance to the piping of crazed flutes. It is said that there are gateways in our world that lead to this caramel hell-planet. The delectable Caramel Chew may be one such portal.

Notari said she wanted to make clear the neutral ICRC has no desire to see the release of any POWs, including Saddam, who are suspected of criminal acts. "Nobody in the ICRC is calling for the release of Saddam Hussein. Absolutely not," Notari told The Associated Press from the Geneva headquarters of the humanitarian agency, which serves as a watchdog to ensure adherence to the Geneva Conventions on the conduct of warfare. I'm not sure this affects the fundamental brief against this organization as being anti-Jew, anti-American, and devoutly leftist, though. posted by Ace at 02:26 PM Comments Congratuations, Ace, I didn't realize you had that kind of impact. Now that I know how widely-read your blog is, I promise to reduce the number of my comments that have to do with NAMBLA members shanking 4-year-old boys. I'll use the more PC phrase, "sexual healing." Posted by: Aaron on June 14, 2004 03:09 PM Actually, what this "clarification" proves is that the ICRC is still a pompously political leftist organization, but without either the courage of its convictions or control of its quango pie-hole. Fuck 'em, right along with all other NGOs that think I give a shit about their opinions - I'll still find other destinations for charitable giving. Posted by: Patton on June 14, 2004 03:52 PM I knew Doumani was talking out her ass yesterday. It had the sharp ring of ass speech. Posted by: rdbrewer on June 14, 2004 04:22 PM Gawd! Now Sully's on about how most conservatives are "okay with extra-legal torture." Please. Is there some musical about strawmen or something? No, most conservatives are not okay with it. But Sullivan is incapable of making the distinction between the official policies and what those dumbass hillbillies did. Posted by: blaster on June 14, 2004 04:43 PM Not to worry, Sully's just setting everything up ahead of time so he can endorse Kerry by the summer. You know, more in sadness than in anger...
