That Clinking, Clanking Sound


Why do people on the left listen to, and then complain about, Ann Coulter? She's clearly just looking for a reaction. Like some pathetic fat guy trying to kill himself, she's just looking for attention. That's right. Like me, she needs psychiatric help. I'm sure that with psychopharmacology and intense therapy, she can lead a somewhat normal life. Much like "Snarf" from Thundercats.

In other news, Walter Lippman of Venezuela Today and Hands Off Venezuela sent this out today, just as a reminder. Wisdom!

Money makes the world go round
The world go round, the world go round
Money makes the world go round
It makes the world go round

A mark, a yen, a buck or a pound
A buck or a pound, a buck or a pound
Is all that makes the world go round
That clinking, clanking sound
Can make the world go round

Money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money

And finally, this from Judith Pasternak and the War Resisters League. Four conscientious objectors, Diedra Cobb, Anita Cole, Kelly Dougherty, and Katherine Jashinski, will be honored at the War Resisters League Annual Dinner tonight in New York City. Each of these women refused to serve in Iraq, which naturally got them into trouble given that they are officers. Katherine Jashinski is currently serving a three month sentence for "refusal to obey a legal order."

I do so admire these women, and will never forget what they have done to further the cause of peace. Usually, I spend all my time on this 'blog whining about my problems or embracing irony and absurdity in a desperate plea for laughter. Either that, or I'm trying to make some sort of statement. But no joke here. There is no greater cause on earth than the one taken up by the War Resisters League.
