Ann Coulter, known for being on the top of everyone’s “Who I’d Like to Hate Fuck” list and for totally lurving What's Happening? reruns, says more words that make people’s mouth’s O with surprise. (‘Oh no she di-in’t! That girl is one crazy bitch!’)

First, she makes fun of people who don’t have wholesome, American, WASP-y names like she does:
“No, but I do think someone named B. Hussein Obama should avoid using hijack and religion in the same sentence.“

Isn’t Barry an American enough name for you, Ann?

Then, she makes the tenuous connection that an expensive haircut is grounds for assassination:
"If I’m going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I’ll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot.”
It’s too bad your cheaply layered and highlighted hair will get more expensive to maintain once you get your Mexican hairstylist shipped back to whatever country it was she came from.

Best part abut that last bit is that when Coulter was on Hardball, she gets a call from Elizabeth “Live Strong” Edwards calling her out on her low-balling of political discussion. Ho, shit! Get the Jell-O pit ready, this is gonna get nasty.

I can’t wait to see what she says next!

... I might have to get this one:

This week's Administration scandal, it seems, is Dick Cheney (aka "God") - and he deserves it. Cheney has probably been the scandal of the last 300 or so weeks. This time however, Dick has chosen to dodge the scandal (not submitting documents to the National Archives) by claiming he's not part of the executive branch.

So in response, and in a move that is at once witty and tough, while also completely hopeless, Congressman Rahm Emanuel is planning to introduce a budget amendment that will take away the bulk of the VP's funding. Emanuel reasons that since Cheney seems to think he's not part of the Administration, he shouldn't be funded as part of it.

When asked during a recent press conference how the Administration feels about this classification and Emanuel's proposed amendment, former temporary White House Press Secretary Dana Perino (aka "the incredibly clueless babe press secretary") eloquently expressed why it's necessary to keep Dick's files classified. Actually... no... Perino just thinks it's "an interesting constitutional question, and I think that lots of people can debate it."

Cheney's office, filling the explanatory void where Perino left off, went back to Rahm with the Admin's new favorite response to everything, accusing him of "playing politics."

If you're in New York this summer you've got your pick of publicly funded, free events: movies in parks, concerts, slip 'n slides, etc.

However, some of the most interesting free stuff is going on at Brooklyn Bridge Park, where on 7/7/07 the Boredoms will be playing with 77 drummers.

Also at the park will be large sandboxes and a floating, ship-bound pool, which I'll assume the idea was stolen directly from the Simpsons episode "Bart Of Darkness":

Ice Cream man: [driving past in his truck] I'm all out of ice cream! [to Bart and Lisa] It's true, you know. Ice cream! Ice cream!
Bart+Lisa: Aw...
Chili man: [driving past in his truck] Chili! Red-hot Texas-style chili! And we got gingerale: boiling-hot Texas-style gingerale! Texas...
Bart: Ew!
Lisa: Aw, face it, Bart. Our salvation isn't just going to roll by on the back of some stupid truck.

Otto: Woo, I gotta replace that window.
Bart+Lisa: Pool Mobile?!

Newsweek's survey, and Wonkette have more on how stupid you and I are.

Note to Rupert Murdoch: at least the unending media scrutiny of your business dealings w/r/t your purchase of the WSJ has yielded one valuable asset: the title of your forthcoming hip-hop album.

Actually come to think of it, "Ruler of a Vast Empire Reaches Out For More" isn't too bad either.

The New York Times leads with Paris.

Dick Cheney is so powerful that the Washington Post has devoted an entire section to him.

The section, actually called "Angler } The Cheney Presidency," looks at Cheney from Wyoming to Washington, everything in between and about. The story is complete with photo albums where you can see Dick play with children, give creepy looks, smile with historical figures, lurk, give creepy looks, be a child (it seems weird to think he was once young), get married, lurk, go fishing, and give a stare down a five year old child.

And while the Post doesn't really add anything groundbreaking to the Cheney saga, it does put together a number of useful stories and verify things you always felt were true. No, he didn't listen to Condi & Colin. Yes, he writes policy with a rubber stamp from Bush. No, he didn't flinch during 9/11 - and yes, he did start drafting plans to "fuck everything" that day.

But all this talk really boils down to one thing: Bush does next-to-nothing; it's all Dick.

It's hard to tell if he's smiling or grimacing.

Actually, it was just a World War II plane, not an X-Wing. And it was in Greenland. And it was over a decade ago. But the plane flew again today. Full story from the NY Times here.
