All in all, interesting, but omg people!
Ah, Justice in the raw. Ain't it beautiful!
There's been what was a fascinating discussion of rationality and religion going on in the comments thread at Making Light, somewhat blighted by a pompous ass taking offense at Steven Brust being a Trotskyite, but otherwise interesting and workday-consumptive.
Oh. My. God. (Like Aimee's post, this is also Mel-related.)
On his Fox News program, Bill O'Reilly called Mel Gibson's recent anti-Semitic comments "inexcusable," but said it is "more important" to discuss the "point where the media and individual Americans start to enjoy the suffering of rich and powerful people." Guest Geraldo Rivera later suggested that O'Reilly refer to "that schmuck from MSNBC," apparently MSNBC host Keith Olbermann; Rivera added that the "schmuck from MSNBC" is a "lowlife." Rivera also asserted that Comedy Central hosts Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert "make a living putting on video of old ladies slipping on ice and people laughing" and that they "exist in a small little place where they count for nothing."

O'Reilly declared that media figures who have criticized Gibson's remarks are "smear merchants" who have "blood all over their mouth, these vampires," and also targeted the "corporate masters" behind them, who are "the truly evil people."
Howdy, Empress!
Mel's a choob, eh? But I think that's someone else's gag.
What is 98 degrees minus Nick Lachey?
Oh. My. Gawd.
Am I cynical to immediately assume that the "free pennies" are a veiled dig at stereotypical thriftiness? It may be that Mel can do no right in my view, but that's where my mind went the second I looked at that picture.

What did the Scots ever do to Gibson? He owes us big time for the fucking Braveheart atrocity, that MADE him! Why, he ... what?
Oh. Never mind.
