You, Sir, are stark raving bonkers. It's nice to have company.

Do your balls hang low,
Can you tie 'em in a bow,
Can you throw 'em over your shoulder,
Like a continental soldier,
Do you swing 'em to the left,
Do you swing 'em to the right,
Do your balls hang low.

My God!

Was that brilliant, or what? ;-D

A powerful, thoughtful, important, essay guaranteed to bring tears from laughing, while stirring the ol' brain cells into life for some serious thinking at the same time.

Let's see EITHER candidate for Prez do THAT in the next 3 months! ;-D

Only if the American woman can comprehend recent historical trends and, through sacrifice, reverse them by applying the Dialectics of Discipline can Phallicus Americani be rescued from the waters of oblivion.

Did I mention that I'm getting married this year?

I get it. That was an allegory. Like Mellville and Hawthorn and the other Puritians used to write.

So, like, the Moby Dick is the AP and Ahab is the Islamic terrorist?

Seriously, a fun read.

On the other hand the Obama salute could be the best thing for the AP in years. Check it out.

Will there EVER be a right winger who can be funny? Not in our lifetimes, I guess.

Newsbusters sees the same pornographic vision with AP:

Statism never sleeps.

The Obama administration has apparently identified a significant constituency it hasn't been able to buy off, and is attempting to do something about it.

Of course, the ever-gullible Darlene Superville at the Associated Press is swallowing the White House line completely, as seen in these excerpted paragraphs:

Obama to create White House Rural Council

President Barack Obama plans to create a special advisory council to recommend ways to boost the economic outlook and quality of life for the estimated 60 million people who live in rural areas of the U.S., a White House official said.
Obama was expected to sign an executive order Thursday establishing the White House Rural Council and naming Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, of Iowa, to be its chairman.

The official asked not to be identified in order to speak freely before a formal White House announcement about the council.

The panel will be responsible for providing recommendations to the president on investment in rural areas, as well as coordinating with a variety of rural interests, including agricultural groups, small businesses, and state, local and tribal governments.

... the panel's initial focus will be on job creation and economic development.

... The remaining subject areas will be: agriculture, access to credit, innovation, health care, education, Internet access, infrastructure, conservation and developing regional economies.
