NEW YORK Ann Coulter is no stranger to controversy, but her latest adventures have several newspapers questioning whether carrying her syndicated column is worth the trouble. The Shreveport (La.) Times is currently leaving the decision of whether or not to keep Coulter up to its readers. But the first newspaper to officially drop Coulter’s column since the latest uproar began seems to be The Gazette of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where she had appeared for about 14 months.
...
However, Neumann surmised that Coulter’s incendiary book may have played an “indirect” role in the final decision. “I think it was the book that began to unwind support among her readers,” Neumann explained.
“Liberals have never liked her, and we’ve always gotten complaints [from them]. But the complaints that mattered the most were from the conservative readers,” who felt that their views were being misrepresented.
What, they don't care about complaints from liberals, but if conservatives complain they gotta do something?

Well, it's like the crossword-lovers complaining about the bridge column. You don't care until the bridge-players complain.
The shutter-button-to-shutter-action lag on my camera is too long. I have never succeeded in getting any pix of lightning.
When I moved in May, I was just going to downgrade my Netflix account from 3 to 1, but while I was checking out the website, I stumbled across the hold option, which worked out great for me that first month, since I was broke from the move. I reinstated it at the beginning of June, and have been working my way through the miniseries/first season of Battlestar Galactica (just got Disc 2 of the season last night, so I get to watch the second half of a two-parter tonight--woot!). After that's done, I've got Doctor Who in the queue, then a bunch of movies, including Syriana.

Well, that makes sense. You don't want to piss off those bridge players.

How frequent was the lightning? I guess if it's decently frequent, just randomly shooting might work.
Best use of The Grateful Dead in pop culture ever.
Not to mention Styx. Though I will grant that quoting "Mr. Roboto" at key moments has excellent comic effect.

We can be mean when riled up.
