First Quarter
- In an effort to bolster the sagging industry, the Oscars will have a much more “populist” tone this year. Nominees will include Owen Wilson for Best Actor (”The Wedding Crashers”), Jada Pinkett Smith for Best Actress (”Madagascar,” hippo), and for Best Picture, “That Really Funny Commercial wiith The Duck Who Keeps […]

[First of all, I want to say that I could spend the whole day down in the discussion thread for Tuesday’s entry. I’m very, very grateful that what might have been a rancorous screamfest (as is the WWW norm) is a far-reaching and respectful conversation. Pat yourselves on the back, and please, stay […]

I didn’t realize that I’d had a good relationship with Jesus Christ until it all went sour this year.
No, really.
Some of you who know me might be suspicious of this statement. You might be saying, “Whoa, Adam, I’m pretty sure you’re Jewish. And pretty secular at that, perhaps even an atheist.” Well, […]

… Merry Christmas, you wonderful old Building and Loan!
I’ve sort of been avoiding this hot topic on the grounds that it’s a little embarrassing. Because if it wasn’t for Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly and John Gibson, it might never have become known that I was waging a war on Christmas.
See, I’m one of those […]

Holiday celebrations are getting underway at Casa Felber West (we even have a lovely War on Christmas Tree, with ornaments supplied by MoveOn that depict secular liberal media steet gangs lynching Santa! Shh - please don’t tell decent Americans!), so blog entries might be briefer in the coming days.

President Bush, from today’s press conference today. It was more fun than last night’s speech.
Anyway:
—————————-

Hey Kids!
Do you want to be President? Do you love your White House Playset but sometimes get stuck when your friends ask you the tough questions? Do you need to explain that broken window to […]

So this brouhaha about the renewal of the Patriot Act is a little confusing, right?
Don’t worry, I can explain everything:
Democrats hate America. Republicans hate liberty.
Wow, that almost reads like some of the news reports, columns, and blogs about this, doesn’t it? And there’s a reason - if that’s not true, then […]

- First of all, some of you have noticed that my very own sister has turned to blackmail. I don’t know why, and I don’t know how she got a hold of those obviously doctored photographs. All that I can say is that this aggression will not stand.
- On a completely […]

From CNN (AP wire) today:

WASHINGTON — Sen. John McCain and President Bush’s national security adviser remained at an impasse Wednesday over the senator’s proposed ban on cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of foreign terrorism suspects.
“At this point, discussions are ongoing,” national security adviser Stephen Hadley told The Associated Press as he left McCain’s Capitol […]

INT. PRIME MINISTER’S OFFICE, BAGHDAD - DAY
[Prime Minister IYAD ALLAWI sits behind a large mahogany desk. Workmen shuttle in and out of the office, redecorating. A large banner reading “CONGRATULATIONS!” hangs from the ceiling. The phone rings.]
ALLAWI: Hello? Prime-Minister-elect Allawi here.
ALI: Hey, Iyad, it’s Ali.
ALLAWI: Ali… Ali… from […]
