Muhammad the Teddy Bear makes a great gift for your favorite infidel or apostate. A portion of the proceeds will benefit victims of radical Islam. Muhammad the Teddy Bear was also featured in The Washington Times Culture, Etc. blog, AnnCoulter.com and Atlas Shrugs.
Read the history of Muhammad the Teddy Bear. Keep in mind that the Left thinks we can have a reasoned dialogue with these people. Right….
Lisa DePasquale, a Northern Virginian, says she likes the simple things in life. You know: walking her dog, watching The Simpsons, and analyzing football games (or “buffilicious” players, to be specific). She is a girly-girl, satirical blogger, bright writer, Bionic Republican – my guess – and the director of the very – very! – influential Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Most importantly, she makes readers laugh. I’m her No 1. Australian fan.

Today’s lazy Sunday was brought to you by three NFL games, a Godfather II and Sopranos marathon on A&E and pre-Cyber Monday deals. The (financial) downside of the seductive holiday deals is that people often overspend on gifts for themselves. I’m certainly guilty. I often justify over-shopping by telling myself that I’ll buy two of something in case there’s someone I’m forgetting. Right…
Anyway, here are a few of the online stores that are taking my money this Christmas:
Target – Free shipping on a lot of items, but like Amazon.com and Overstock.com, one 
order may come in several shipments, so be sure the delivery date for all of them is before December 25.
Perpetual Kid — Love this site! It’s great for stocking stuffers. I guarantee you’ll have a unique gift. After all, who else sells tattoos for the elderly and edible candy cane-flavored shot glasses?
Overstock.com — Ok, I was disappointed with several of my purchases, so use Overstock with caution. A lot of my friends are big fans though, so I thought I’d include it in this list anyway. All you ever hear on the-website-that-must-not-be-named is “Free shipping on returns.” I tried to return something today and they actually do charge you for shipping if they deem your reason for returning the item as unworthy. By the way, the reason I’m returning said item is because the photo was misleading, i.e. item was labeled as a non-stick pan and photographed from the top. It’s actually a non-stick bowl. So, Website-That-Must-Not-Be-Named, feel the wrath of my strikethrough!
Old Navy — Bigger selection, less tweeners than the brick and morter shows. I love their flat $5 shipping.
Macy’s — My coworkers can attest to the fact that I have a Macys.com addiction as they’ve signed for many packages. They often have a bigger selection of brands than the Macy’s that’s less than one mile from house. In fact, returns are so easy that I usually return by mail instead of going to the brick and morter store. I’m all about minimizing human interaction.
Amazon — No explanation needed. We both know you’re going to give them more money.
Uncommon Goods — This site is one of my worst “one for me, one for you” indulgences. See Illusion Wine Glasses. Another favorite is the Global Warming Mug — I love giving this to my Exxon Mobil fat cat friends.

In Godless Ann Coulter wrote, “Liberals are perennially enraged that Republicans are allowed to talk back.” As such, this has spawned “Hugo Chavez Democrats” that make it their life’s work to get conservatives blacklisted from the media. The Left’s perpetual whining is usually funny, but not so much when the spineless surrender to them. Last week Daily Kos turned their attention to columnist Rachel Marsden. Marsden wrote a well-read column for the Toronto Sun and appears frequently on Fox News and other networks. Daily Kos objected to her recent column on waterboarding and this joke Marsden made on CNN:
I suppose that those who object to terror suspects getting water up the nose would say that, as a young competitive swimmer, I was also tortured. It was called “hypoxic training” — swimming underwater and holding our breath until we passed out. Our coaches didn’t call it torture, just an exercise in “mental toughness.” So think of it this way — terror suspects are getting some free mental toughness training courtesy of the U.S. government.
Daily Kos posted contact information for Marsden’s Toronto Sun editor and encouraged people to get her column removed from the newspaper. “pale cold” wrote:
But we don’t have to sit and take it. Speak up! All Canadian Kossacks can write a letter. If any American Kossacks want to vent, hey, please! Make the Toronto Sun aware of how abhorrent and completely UNCANADIAN they are for publishing such tripe. If they don’t want to live in a country with morals and humanitarian ethics? They know where the door is. I suspect that the rest of Canada won’t lose any sleep in their absence.
Guess what? It worked. The Toronto Sun was inundated with e-mails from the nutjobs at Daily Kos. Their new liberal editor-in-chief Lou Clancy notified Marsden that after a two-year relationship the Toronto Sun is dropping her weekly column.
As most conservatives would, Marsden is wearing the Daily Kos’s campaign against her as a badge of honor. Marsden responded on her website:
Attention terrorists and Islamofascists: You can now read the Toronto Sun without having your delicate sensibilities offended, as my weekly column is no longer with Sun Media. I am currently exploring US syndication and other venues for the column. In the meantime, you can continue to read it here at RachelMarsden.com, every Monday. And yes (to respond to some of your queries), after more than 2 years of writing weekly for the Sun, I’ve been under a new Editor-in-Chief, Lou Clancy, since October 5th, who comes from Canada’s most liberal newspaper: The Toronto Star. My column about Islam was spiked on his first day at the job. Best of luck to any principled conservatives who remain.
Show your support for Rachel Marsden by purchasing her cheeky ”CIA Center For Aquatic Excellence Waterboarding Team” t-shirt. All proceeds will be donated to the Children of Fallen Soldiers Relief Fund.
It should be noted that despite the Left’s protests, apparently torture does work. Perhaps we should scrap waterboarding and force terrorists to read page after page of incoherent rants from the Daily Kos e-mail monkeys. It gets results: Toronto Sun editor Lou Clancy folded in just a few hours.

After last week’s loss to the New England Patriots, I have to show Indianapolis Colt’s QB Peyton Manning some love.
In a recent interview with Right Wing News, Ann Coulter named your humble LOTUS blog as one of her favorites.
Are there any blogs or columnists you particularly enjoy reading?
That Ann Coulter is terrific! So controversial! I wonder if she means all those terrible things she says…
Also: Mark Steyn, Pat Buchanan, Phyllis Schlafly, David Limbaugh, Brent Bozell and many others, generally found on Human Events and Townhall.
Blogs: Sweetness & Light, Kausfiles, LOTUS blog, Newsbusters, Little Green Footballs, Ms. Underestimated, The Accidental Harpist — and of course, Right-Wing News — among others.

Watch it here. The host is NBC News anchor Brian Williams. Zzzzzzzz….
It was pretty funny though that “Bill Clinton” (Darryl Hammond) dressed up as “Mystery” from VH-1’s The Pick-Up Artist.
Speaking of Obama, I hate to admit it, but his recent appearance on Ellen was kind of cute. However, not cute enough to get filed under “Cute Boys.” I take that category very seriously.
