I thought I’d switch it up and give the ladies pictures of the NFL’s cutest coach.  I give you Tampa Bay Bucs coach John (Chucky) Gruden.  I don’t care what the feminists say — angry white men are the sexiest.

  

Photo of the Day

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

This Washington Times photo caught my attention today.  Sure the President doesn’t do everything we want him to, but what a wonderful photo.  The President is completely at ease, the First Lady looks regal and the adorable little boy doesn’t seem to care that he’s resting his arm on the President of the Free World.  The expressions on their faces are just heartwarming.

Take the Liberal Hollywood Writers — Please!

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

Negotiations between Hollywood writers and their employers have been at a standstill for several weeks. The writers’ strike won’t affect most prime-time programs for some time since studios have enough material in the hopper to get them through the season. The strike has, however, affected daily shows like The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Late Show with David Letterman. It should be noted that Late Night with Conan O’Brien is one of the few programs paying its support staff while the Writers’ Guild haggles over their right to first class airfare. (See Jennsylvania.com for a succinct viewpoint from a working-class writer.)

The strike has led the programs of media darlings Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert to rely on reruns. Given that they have cable shows with mediocre ratings by prime-time standards, it’s peculiar that they would be mentioned in nearly every article about the writers’ strike. The fact that they use writers should come as a shock to many people since we have to endure the mainstream media’s multiple orgasms over the brilliance of Stewart and Colbert. Perhaps the real writers are on to something. If I were one of them, I would strike, too.

My male friends will live to be 100

Sunday, December 2nd, 2007

Softpedia via Fark:

A German research published in New England Journal of Medicine and Weekly World News said that men staring at women’s breasts in fact prolong their lives with years.

“Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female such as Baywatch actress Pamela Lee is equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out,” said author Dr. Karen Weatherby, a gerontologist.

The team led by Weatherby was made up of researchers at three hospitals in Frankfurt, Germany, and found this results after monitoring for 5 years the health of 200 male subjects, half of whom were asked to look at busty females daily, while the other half had to abstain from doing so.

For five years, the boob oglers presented a lower blood pressure, slower resting pulse rates and decreased risk of coronary artery disease.

“Sexual excitement gets the heart pumping and improves blood circulation. There’s no question: Gazing at large breasts makes men healthier. Our study indicates that engaging in this activity a few minutes daily cuts the risk of stroke and heart attack in half.” said Weatherby, who even recommended that men aged over 40 should spend at least 10 minutes daily admiring breasts sized “D-cup” or larger.

She said that this was as healthy as going to the gym for 30 minutes daily and prolonged a man’s life by five years.

Sorry, guys, no pictures in this post.

Guest Commentary: University of Florida’s Liberal Obsession

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

By Ashley Emans, University of Florida

On November 13, several student groups at The University of Florida held a viewing and a panel discussion of the documentary film Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West. Fliers advertising the event (which had of course been repeatedly torn down by free speech loving liberals) contained the phrase, “Radical Islam Wants You Dead.” Now the university administration is demanding an apology from the five hosting student organizations: College Republicans, Law School Republicans, the Jewish Law Students Association, the Jewish Student Union, and Gators For Israel. This is likely the direct result of Islam On Campus lobbying the highest ranking UF officials, including President Bernie Machen, for an investigation into the event and its advertising.

Vice President for Student Affairs, Dr. Patricia Telles-Irvin, sent an email to every single UF student on Monday, November 26 that explained the university’s disapproval of the advertisements and asked for an apology and clarification. The letter was slavish, bland, hypocritical, and disappointing. In it she fell all over herself in a rush to restore the Gator universe back to its proper leftward rotation.

“At the University of Florida we have embraced a set of values, one of which is diversity. Diversity is not just about having representation from various cultures on campus, it also is having each member contribute to an inclusive and safe environment and collectively enhancing our understanding and appreciation of the richness brought by such differences.” wrote Telles-Irvin. UF does so much hand-wringing over racial/ethnic/class/gender/religious diversity, yet it shuns the most important type of diversity a college could ever give: diversity of thought. Conservative impulses are swiftly suppressed, in and out of class, just as the Obsession kerfluffle has proved. Dr. Telles-Irvin and the rest of the administration apparently believe students who feel threatened by radical Islam have forfeited their rights of expression by not falling in line with what is the acceptable opinion according to them, namely that you are not allowed to fear radical Islam.
