Perhaps you could discuss the mindset of the left, in how they view themselves as the intellectual elite. This from yesterday's print version of The Economist magazine, The Jock-In-Chief:
"Or look at Republican voters. If the Democrats have an impregnable lead among the country's Ph.D.s, the Republicans have a lock on the NASCAR crowd. For Democrats the main qualification for a top job is "intelligence"- hence their constant complaint that Republican presidents are too dumb for the job. But for Republicans the most important qualification is "character"- by which they mean an ability to hit balls and bang heads."
Talk about arrogant!! And just where are the facts to back any of this crap up??
This smugness, this unfounded feeling of superiority typifies the left, and could be a big part of the reason that they come up with bad ideas that mishape our society.
They know what's best for the rest of us.

That's a pretty impressive lineup, gang. Wish I could listen.

But more importantly:

Regarding the graphic, do Karol's boobs really start directly from her neck like that? I can see why you'd be reduced to a quivering lump of panic attack but such things.

Ace,

Will Ms. MacDonald be in studio?

She's terrific.

Really.

I'm going to be jealous if you get to meet her.

Damn you.

Regarding the graphic, I assumed, based on Ace's Virtual Model ( http://ace.mu.nu/archives/059308.php ) that Karol was the one with the sunglasses.

Impressive line-up, looking forward to it. And I heartily second the sentiments of "metoo" above. MacDonald is a contributing editor I think at the journal that was the flagship for the rennaisance of NYC, City Journal. Good stuff!

What the heck? Is someone doing dishes in the background?

I hear dishes/pots and pans in the background

They must be broadcasting from the kitchen closet down at the Olive Garden.

Sorry about that.

Ace's balls sometimes clang together when he starts talking about privacy advocates.

Come on, answer the phone, you bastards!!

My mistake. I meant to type "Ace's man-tits."

What's the theme music? it's perfect.

Ha! I got through!

Ace, I'm still me, with 2 "n's".

Somehow, Spencer's answer still sounds like wishful thinking to me. Still.

I'd call if I weren't at work, but if anyone reads the comments during the show, ask Robert if he thinks the Koran needs something like a New Testament. DOes he think such a thing would help in redefining Isalm.

(Most) Christians long ago gave up on preaching the angry and vengeful God of the Old Testament in favor of God version 2.0.

Heh. One might note that what they need is... um... the person who kind of spurred the New Testament update.

As a wise one once said, "Find them, kill them, and convert their leaders."

I forgot to make Ace's day - I didn't say, "long time reader, first time caller." Sorry.

No one's listening eh? We don't count?

So Spencer's saying that rather going from "scriptura et traditio" to "scriptura sola", Islam needs to go the other way, and someone better get a move on with the "traditio" part?

The problem is that "fundamentalism", wherever you find it, is a product of wide-spread literacy, accompanied by only a casual knowledge of history.

Sort of like not knowing that Luther nailed his 95 theses to the church door in 1517.

Come on. I know the Protestant Reformation happened in the mid-1800's. Give me a break. It's humor.

"Give me a break. It's humor."

Which humerus would you like me to break?

The guy who's on between rush and roger hedgecock interviewed Spencer yesterday. KOGO may not be classic MSM, but it is the highest rated station in San Diego.

Listening to the replay of the show now. Heather's been wrong on one thing so far: Poindexter most certainly did deserve to be sacked for allowing PAM to be leaked. Developing it, or at least investigating the possibility of developing it, might've been excused. Letting the press get hold of it could not.

Bye son. Update your resume and come back when you get some basic political sense in your head.

"And we're BAAAAAAAACK... hi, I'm Karol"

Okay, that got a chuckle. Oooh, Bob Spencer.

Dr Pipes shout-out! And good comeback by Spencer.

"Islam itself is not moderate."

Indeed.

Spencer: "KAH-fir"
Ace: "So these Kah-FEERs... uh, not sure how you say it..."
Spencer: "Eh. That's close enough."

Love this guy. :)

Ace, you have to have Bob Spencer back on your show. This man rocks my world.

(assuming I'm using that phrase correctly)
