Your Mom's a Ho(mophobe)Well, that didn't take too long. Sullivan, caught out lying his ass off, decides that now's the time to go through the comments at Lucianne.com and cry "homophobes!" I'm sure it's just a coincidince that Lucianne Goldberg is Jonah Goldberg's mother. Some of the posts are homophobic (but what the hell does that have to do with Lucianne?), but a few aren't. Where's the homphobia here?: Yeah, I used to read Sullivan's blog on a daily basis, until, I don't know, maybe mid-winter last year. He was going wobbly on just about everything, so I removed him from my bookmarks, and haven't thought about it since--simply don't miss his commentary. I suspect his webstats show a major falloff in readership. Is "wobbly" some new anti-gay slur I don't know about? If so-- why wasn't I informed immediately? And this is cute: I don't say good-bye, I say good riddance. Kudos to Kathryn Lopez for outing the traitor early on. Ah, I see. He says "outed." That must be some sort of extraodinarily-subtle anti-gay dig. Right. If No One's Going to Pat My Back, Looks Like I'll Just Have to Do It My Damn Self Update: Didn't someone predict that Sullivan would show initial restraint and then proceed to emotional, nasty, and personal counterattacks? I can't predict the economy. I can't predict the war. I can't predict whether some post I write will get linked. But I do have a weird super-power: I can predict Andrew Sullivan. There's gotta be some way I can, err, "monetarize" this oddball skill o' mine. posted by Ace at 01:45 PM
CommentsIt's a sad commentary that I clicked the link, and got "page cannot be displayed." We all want to go watch the hissy-fit take place, so the site is overloaded. At least it brought me to my senses. There's quite enough bile and venom in just what you quoted. I will now go get some more coffee and pretend to work. Posted by: Dianna on June 17, 2004 01:48 PM
You sir are a raging 'mo-pho!!!!! Posted by: Rusty Shackleford on June 17, 2004 01:52 PM
Yeah, and Lucianne used to have a picture of herself dressed in a feathered boa on her website. Everyone knows that feathered boa's are inherently pejorative, because of the drag queen connotations. Posted by: Scout on June 17, 2004 02:06 PM
Ace, where was that prediction about his upcoming defenses? Posted by: on June 17, 2004 02:30 PM
Check out the big brain on Ace! Posted by: SWLiP on June 17, 2004 02:30 PM
My prediction was at the penultimate update to the "Yasser Arafat" post: Why not press my luck and predict something else? Sullivan is going to react quite emotionally and nastily to Goldberg's politely-worded (but tough-minded) query. He'll restrain himself somewhat at first, but over the coming weeks we're going to hear an awful lot about political inquisitions, loyalty oaths, the much-reduced space allowed to us for our own personal exploration of difficult political issues, etc. You know-- all that whiny bullshit by which Sullivan cries "victim." The right to privacy he's always nattering on about (last seen being used to explain why Gary Condit shouldn't be forced to ask those mean policemen's questions) will conveniently morph and expand one more time to include a paid writer and poltical commentator's publically-stated political beliefs. And no, I'm not saying that gay men are nasty and emotional. But I am saying that this particular gay man is. I've seen his work before; this should be a doozy. .... Says I. Posted by: ace on June 17, 2004 02:33 PM
It's easy to predict Andrew Sullivan...all you have to is ask yourself "What Would Kevin Spacey do" if he were spending his time blogging instead of cruising parks. This isn't meant to diminish your skill, Ace. After all, you were the WWKSD visionary..... Posted by: Senator PhilABuster on June 17, 2004 02:39 PM
I just sent the following email to Andrew: You get a billion emails and comments on the web from conservitives who couldn't care less about you being gay, and what do you do? You post comments from a few bigots, pretending that is what conservatives are like and what you have to put up with. You asshole. You're obvious. Anything to make you feel better about yourself, just like the irrationals we are always complaining about on the left, right? Posted by: rdbrewer on June 17, 2004 02:39 PM
SWLiP, Where's that's from? It's driving me crazy. And something else is driving me crazy. Where is THIS from (paraphrased): Ooooh, Mikey. Mikey's on fire! Fire! That is driving me bananas. I can almost see the scene, but I have no idea what movie it's in. Posted by: ace on June 17, 2004 02:55 PM
"Defending Your Life" Posted by: Scout on June 17, 2004 03:04 PM
Scout, sorry, I think you're wrong. DYL does indeed make reference to "the big brain," but this particular quote -- "Check out the big brain on ____" -- I'm pretty sure comes from a more recent, more youth-directed comedy. Posted by: ace on June 17, 2004 03:10 PM
Eh, sorry. I took a shot. Posted by: Scout on June 17, 2004 03:18 PM
In PULP FICTION, Jules says "Check out the big brain on Brad!" when Brad correctly guesses Jules and Vincent work for Marcellus Wallace. Posted by: Steve Johnson on June 17, 2004 03:19 PM
"Check out the big brain on Brad!" Classic line from Pulp Fiction. Brad knew why the Quarter Pounder with cheese was called La Royale in France. Posted by: Enas Yorl on June 17, 2004 03:20 PM
Steve-- YES! Now, how about my "Mikey's on fire! Fire!" line. The name is probably not "Mikey." I don't know the actual name. Posted by: ace on June 17, 2004 03:21 PM
Enas, Yes, I think your specific recollection is right. Was his name "Brad"? That doesn't sound right. IMDB says "Brett." I think that's who we're talking about. Posted by: ace on June 17, 2004 03:22 PM
"Mikey's on fire" is Dr. Evil talking about his son in the last movie just before Mini-Me gets the boot. I don't know whether it's "Mikey," though. Posted by: rdbrewer on June 17, 2004 03:27 PM
Oh yeah, "Scotty's on fire. Fire." Posted by: rdbrewer on June 17, 2004 03:29 PM
Yes yes it's Brett. I just listened to the wav file again. Sorry. Loose shit.Going on.Here. Posted by: Enas Yorl on June 17, 2004 03:30 PM
Yes, yes, yes, yes! Scotty's on fire! Fire! Thank you, RD. That has been bugging me for three days. Posted by: ace on June 17, 2004 03:31 PM
Steve is right when he says "Check out the big brain on Brad!" is from Pulp Fiction, but wrong on the context. Jules says that when Brad (Frank Whaley) correctly guesses that a Quarter Pounder with Cheese is called a Royale with Cheese in Paris, "Because of the metric system." Posted by: SWLiP on June 17, 2004 04:15 PM
Sorry. Enas already got it. Posted by: SWLiP on June 17, 2004 04:16 PM
Please eschew the silliest word every created, "homophobia." Literally, fear of things that are the same. 1. It makes no sense linguistically. Posted by: dib on June 17, 2004 04:56 PM
AMEN dib! (Although I never thought of the first one)... what should it mean: Fear of alike things? Fear of humans and apes? Posted by: JFH on June 18, 2004 08:55 AM
"Mikey's on fire." "Scotty's on fire." "Brett?" "Brad?" "What's the frequency, Kenneth?" Gotta hand it to you guys--as the world struggles with some of the toughest problems it's ever faced--greater than Naziism, slightly worse than Communism, IMO--you guys manage to provide comic relief and movie trivia. If you're doing this a year from now I'll know we're okay. Posted by: sf on June 19, 2004 08:21 PM

This isn't Christmas Eve fare, and I thought about waiting until the 26th to post it, but supposedly an amateur detective has solved the Zodiac killer mystery. And the horrific Black Dahlia killing. He says it's the same person! I always thought of them as very far apart in time but I think Black Dahlia was mid-fifties (nope, 1947) mid and the Zodiac murders began in 1968 so it's possible it's the same killer.
The killer, if it's the same man, would have been in his 20s when he killed the Black Dahlia and his 40s when he did the Zodiac murders. Possible. A little caveat: I saw someone snark on Reddit, "The Zodiac case gets solved more often than Wordle." There are a ton of coincidences here, supposedly, like a Zodiac cipher being solved by the name "Elizabeth." Elizabeth Short was the name of the so-called Black Dahlia. If you don't know about the Black Dahlia, don't look it up. Just accept that it's grisly on the level of Jack the Ripper. Yes, the named suspect resembles the police sketch of Zodiac. Here's a podcast with the amateur sleuth who claims he cracked the Zodiac. Daily Mail article. Link to get around the LA Times' paywall for their article.

Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens
Whoops, I meant she bravely attacks Sydney Sweeney for "bending the knee." (Sweeney put out a very empty PR statement saying "I'm against hate." Whoop-de-doo.) Megyn Kelly claims she doesn't want to call people out on the right when asked about Candace Owens but then has no compunctions at all about calling people out on the right. As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller." She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.
