Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I think you should post a picture of your HIDEOUS EYE for us. If you're going to go through partially disfiguring medical procedures, it's only right and appropriate that you share with us. We're your friends, after all.

You're okay with this, yet the Sharpie-d cat is problematic???

He never even applied for the position.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"I'd say this was a dream come true, but I never dared to dream the 'Playhouse' would join Adult Swim's amazing lineup of cool shows!" Reubens said. "Well, maybe I did dream of it a couple of times. OK, it's a dream come true!"

Cool! Of course, I already own them all on DVD, but still, there's an entire generation of stoned college students that desperately need a Word of the Day. Plus they can all go, "Whoa! Dude, that's Morpheus with the Jheri-curls and the chaps! Whoa! It's the Law and Order lady!"

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

That's good news indeed! I imagine the Cartoon Channel people have wanted to get their hands on it for a long long time.

I wonder if we'll see any behind-the-scenes stuff with Rob Zombie...

In addition to being Mark of the Beast day, it also is the release of Ann Coulter's new book Godless.

Though liberalism rejects the idea of God and reviles people of faith, it bears all the attributes of a religion itself. In Godless, Ann Coulter throws open the doors of the Church of Liberalism, showing us:

* Its sacraments (abortion)

* Its holy writ (Roe v. Wade)

* Its martyrs (from Soviet spy Alger Hiss to cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal)

* Its clergy (public school teachers)

* Its churches (government schools, where prayer is prohibited but condoms are free)

* Its doctrine of infallibility (as manifest in the "absolute moral authority" of spokesmen from Cindy Sheehan to Max Cleland)

* And its cosmology (in which mankind is an inconsequential accident)

Then, of course, there's the liberal creation myth: Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.

For liberals, evolution is the touchstone that separates the enlightened from the benighted. But Coulter neatly refutes the charade that liberals are rationalists guided by the ideals of free inquiry and the scientific method. She exposes the essential truth about Darwinian evolution that liberals refuse to confront: it is bogus science.

Now is the time to reserve your copy. Start your subscription to HUMAN EVENTS and make sure you get a FREE copy of Ann Coulter's landmark book, Godless.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Is this a paperback release, or an entirely new book? Most of that insane ranting sounds very familiar. (Is this the same book where she compares liberals to Communists because Scrabble boxes are red?)

Unfortunately, in my role as summer-fill in for the librarian who orders "current books," I ordered a copy of Godless today. We strive to actually be fair and balanced in the library. And someone might do a study on "wacky right-wing propagandists of the 2000s" some day, and will need primary sources.
