I have no love of MoDo, but I must admit my reading life would be much less interesting without her. Technically speaking, she's funnier than Margaret Cho--just unintentionally.

Now you've done it Unabrewer. Ace is gonna have to settle the following question:

Who is the funnier (or the least not-funny) of the two: MoDo or MoChow?

This is sorta like the question of the irresistable druken force meeting the unmovable overweight object.

Let the debate begin!

"Republicans don't believe in the imagination, partly because so few of them have one, but mostly because it gets in the way of their chosen work, which is to destroy the human race and the planet."

Man, that is the response I'm going to use from now on when I am asked why I vote Republican. Low taxes, personal responsibility, self reliance, strict constitutionalism, faith in the free market? Nah, I am an automaton programmed to destroy humanity, like the Terminator, but without the accent or the muscles.

"Clothing is wonderful, but let them go naked for a while, at least the kids." Whoooa! Guess I missed it, but did Her Highness the Empress Teraaazza actually say that?

I can live with most of those comments. They can be blamed on partisanship, or ignorance, or insanity. But the woman who aborts two healthy babies so that she doesn't have to shop at Costco is just plain evil.

I suspect throwing in Cheney’s suggestion that Leahy go pleasure himself was meant to be some sort of bipartisan nod. No question, though: a lot of very good stuff there, some of it even better than Moore’s “Minuteman” brainf@rt. Tim Blair had a similar list, but much longer. (I always screw up the links, so just go to his archives for Dec.23.)

Is it just me, or is political discourse in this country skidding downhill on some sort of rhetorical luge run? Another decade of decline like this, and we’re going to sound like a yapping pack of Legally Huntable Sub-Helots.

Tereza did say the thing about clothing, and after sitting through a total of almost eleven days of no airconditioning after the three hurricanes that hit us, I'd have to say she was on to something.

When the air temp and humidity are both in the middle 80s or higher, clothing is *bad*.

Cirby: so that was you! Now I know who to send the photographs to.
