Theo Van Gogh Eulogized By Blog

Peaktalk has a nice reminder that Van Gogh wasn't just a victim of Islamist lunacy, but a passionate and interesting person.

His killer -- the guy who told his grieving family he had no remorse whatsoever, nor any sympathy for them -- was sentenced to life without parole, which is a difficult trick. Hard to get that kind of sentence in Holland.

Roger L. Simon notes that Hollywood still is entirely ignoring the butchering of one of their own. Not even a mention of the killer's sentencing in the town's industry-paper, Variety.

But I'm sure everyone is talking about Jane Fonda's Peace Bus, fueled by vegetable oil.

I don't think these are bad people. Terrorists and terroristy-sympathizers are of course monsters; but terrorist-deniers are just... well, addled.

There is simply no room in their worldview for vicious terrorists that must be hunted down and killed like the animals they are. They oppose violence, particularly violence committed "in their name," and so they must deny the existence of any evil that would make that brutish step necessary.

As they say, when the only tool you have is a hammer, all the world looks like the nail.

And on the other hand: when you have expressly denied the need for hammers, and when you sing Kumbaya songs all day about how great it would be if all hammers were beaten into plowshares, then nothing in the world looks like a nail, and anything displaying nail-like qualities must be studiously ignored and driven out of your mind as quickly as possible.

Thanks for the links to Traffic Non-Santa.

As I mentioned over at QandO blog she's gonna' try to emulate brother Peter's 60's movie. It will be titled "Gr-easy Rider."

I'm not Fonda "Wesson Jane".

Posted by: Jack M. on July 26, 2005 01:03 PM

Why, exactly, is Fonda going on a bus tour to oppose the Iraq war now? In the months leading up the invasion and a few months after, I might understand, but now, what's done is done. Does she want us to leave and put Saddam back in power?

The Crisco Kid?

I think she's having trouble selling her books, her looks, and her acting talent. This is just a publicity stunt.

Posted by: rabidfox on July 26, 2005 01:20 PM

I can't believe at her age and with her money she is still trying to resurrect that dead career of hers. What's next? A Playboy pictorial?

Allright, everybody get out your "Peter, Paul & Mary Songbook" and sing along:

If I had a haa-mmer,
I'd hammer in the mo-o-rning!
I'd hammer in the evening!
All over this la-and!

Posted by: Enas Yorl on July 26, 2005 02:42 PM

how great it would be if all hammers were beaten into plowshares

Uh, what would you use for the very last one?

Posted by: Jane Fonda's Cock on July 26, 2005 03:14 PM

JFC, you'd have to use some solid, heavy, blunt, non-hammery sort of, um, thing. Howard Dean's head maybe?

Posted by: Enas Yorl on July 26, 2005 05:45 PM

"Does she want us to leave and put Saddam back in power?"

That's just a rhetorical question, right? Of *course* that's what she wants. Saddam, the Sunnis, Zarqawi - they're the Real People, maaan. Talabani and Jaafari and the rest of them? Western stooges. Probably heroin smugglers, too.

/"hey," they're thinking, "it worked last time ..."

"I don't think these are bad people. Terrorists and terroristy-sympathizers are of course monsters; but terrorist-deniers are just... well, addled."

There's not much difference between a terrorist sympathizer and denier in my book.

George Orwell said: "Pacifism is objectively pro-Fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side you automatically help out that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, 'he that is not with me is against me.'

the curious silence of my Hollywood colleagues about the assassination (for his art) of their fellow filmmaker Theo Van Gogh by an Islamist psychokiller.

What is curious about it? Liberals are all scared shitless of Moslems and wouldn't touch it w/ Karl Rove's dick. Basically, Liberals are cowards and scared of their own shadows, so they compensate by talking tough about people and things they know won't bite them back, like Christians. But when it comes to Islam their abject cowardice becomes obvious.

And they really do have reason to fear. Islam has made it abundantly clear that they will kill anyone who may be a threat to their domination of the earth. The difference between Liberals and conservatives is that there are many conservatives who continue to speak and write the truth about Islam, while cowardly Liberals continue to hide from it.

There was fear aplenty. But the truth is, a lot of the panic Americans saw on television was performative. The throngs of people along Convention Center Boulevard sat patiently in the broiling weather, five or six deep in folding chairs on the sidewalk, waiting for something, someone, to arrive. Then, a television crew or photographer would show up, and people would pour into the street, falling on their knees, screaming and gesticulating to the camera. It was an awful situation, obviously, but when the camera wasn't on them, it was remarkable how patient and orderly everyone was.

Elric the Blade says he's no longer sure that Trump will have the right to appeal in the NY fraud case:
Yesterday, I thought that Trump had an appeal as of right on the fraud liability, based upon news reports that cited the second opinion as declining to find in favor of liability. That would give Trump at least 2 dissenting judges for an appeal as of right.
But now, after seeing the actual decisions, I'm not so sure. Sorry, guys. I've never seen or heard of what the second opinion did. They dissented, but ... decided not to dissent? I'm not sure what the effect is in terms of whether Trump has a right to appeal. I doubt anyone does.
I think even if Trump doesn't have a right of appeal, the Court of Appeals (NY's highest court) will take the case. But ... it's a liberal court so who knows how they'll rule. I have the docket number so I can track what gets appealed to the Court of Appeals. If Trump wants to appeal, I think he might file an appeal as of right and a petition for permission to appeal. His lawyers know this case much better than I, but even they might know what the effect of all the opinions are.
I don't think they'll take the appeal. Judges are lazy and cowardly and will duck any hot potato case they can. These judges are also liberal hacks, and do not want to deliver Trump a full victory.

Lost Seventies Mystery Click: The Darkest Song Ever Recorded?
I think Professor of Rock (on YouTube) claimed this song was so upsetting that people used to pull over to the side of the road when it came on the radio. It's about a fatal plane crash, but obviously it suggests a fatal car crash too, which could wig out a driver.
It's like one of those nasty 70s anti-war body horror movies. Not for the squeamish. I'm not even going to post the lyrics because they're upsetting too.
