1. Well, don't keep us waiting! |
|
Is it that they are both written by homophobic Busheviks to advance some facet of Imperial propaganda?

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=529&e=1&u=/ap/20040225/ap_en_mo/film_the_passionAn estimated 6,000 people filled all 20 auditoriums at a Cinemark theater in this Dallas suburb to watch the film. All the tickets had been bought and donated by a local churchgoer. So like Ann's books, Mel will probably come out as the top movie grosser for the week, but how many of those tickets were purchased by individuals and not bulk order and handed out for free :shrug:

12. Along those lines, I picked up a signed Rudy Giuliani book |
|
(autographed, not stamped, or printed that way - the ink bled through to the other side of the page) at a second-hand store for buck and some change.
It appeared that the only time it had been cracked open was to get to the page where RG signed it.
I was going to give it to my brother this past Christmas if he started squawking like some of the e-mails he kept sending me.

10. They are both excellent examples of clinical self-loathing. |
|
Coulter and her screeds and rants and starved-down carcass that all smack of "I hate myself," and Mel's steady progression into sadomasochism, which cries out "I *must* suffer!"
They both need help, but instead are using the public as customers for their neuroses.
