Sage Words From Jim Carrey?!?!?!

This via Drudge.

"I'm a Buddhist, I'm a Muslim, I'm a Christian. I'm whatever you want me to be...it all comes down to the same thing," he tells Kroft.

That is perhaps the smartest thing I have ever heard come out of Hollywood, and it has to come from one of the funniest men in the business?

It sounds like Jim Carrey may have found true enlightenment. May Buddha/Allah/God bless you, Jim Carrey!

Post-Therapy Kerry Supporter Speaks Out Publicly

(Hat Tip: Drudge)

Karen, whose medical insurance covers the treatment...

If I heard the Kerry '04 campaign correctly, I thought nobody in America had medical insurance. I thought that's why he wanted to give us his.

"Dr. Schooler absolutely understood the pain this election caused me...,"

I'm sure that $150/hour had nothing to do with his *choke* understanding *cough*

"...and he opened my mind to a new point of view," Karen said.

I thought liberals were already open-minded. In fact, I would say most liberals are so open-minded that their minds fell out a long time ago.

Why can't the left get the hint that we heard their message loud and clear and that more than half of us have no interest in entitlements and wealth redistribution?

Just what I was thinking

This thought, in one form or another, has been bouncing around in my head for months. Leave it to a satirist to put the thought to cyber-paper.

Note for the incredibly thin-skinned: ScrappleFace is strictly satire. If I have to explain satire, do us both a favor and don't click the link!

Pretty well sums up liberals

You really need to read this over at Cold Fury.

I especially like the part about the liberals not even believing half of what they say:

You don’t even believe half the stuff you’re currently crying about yourselves.

Because if you did, you wouldn’t be talking about it. You wouldn’t be writing whiny letters to the editor; you wouldn’t be fearfully mincing down to the Canadian Consulate to half-seriously inquire about moving; you wouldn’t be sitting in coffee houses denouncing the moronic inhabitants of Jesusland with your fellow smug, self-satisfied pseudo-hip doofuses. You’d be gearing up and arming yourselves for the fight of your lives. And much to your surprise, you’d have a lot of us over here on the right offering to help load mags.


I guess actions speak louder than words. If liberals really believed half of the crap they were spewing, they would be revolting against the establishment, instead of just revolting.

Michael Jackson blasts rapper Eminem over music video

What's the matter, Michael. Does the truth hurt?

11-Year-Old Girl Suspended For 'Dangerous' Cartwheels At School

You have got to be kidding me!!!!! When I was growing up, we used to play "Kill the Man With the Ball," which sounds a hell of a lot more dangerous than just about any gymnastics move you could do on a playground.

In fact, a game of "Kill the Man" cost me a pair of glasses.

A Little Common Sense, Please

I was just reading an article on Foxnews.com about how some local ABC affiliates around the country were refusing to show Saving Private Ryan for fear of incurring the wrath of the FCC.

Most of the concern comes from the 2004 Super Bowl baring of Janet Jackson's breast, Bono's comments at the 2003 Golden Globe Awards, and, of course, the ever-offensive Howard Stern.

One important distinction that these midwest prudes, and the FCC, need to remember is that these were all LIVE events which are, by nature, unpredictable. Saving Private Ryan, on the other hand, was filmed years ago, reviewed by the MPAA, and given an appropriate rating. Sufficient warnings are posted at the beginning of the movie. If you don't know what to expect when you tune in to a pre-recorded movie, then you have much bigger problems than hearing the occasional F-bomb on network TV.

Can we all, nationwide, just use a little common sense? If you are tuned in to a live event, you should have a reasonable expectation of whether or not to expect profanity or partial nudity, based on the station you are watching and the time of day. In cases like Janet Jackson, Bono, and Howard Stern, I would like to see the FCC nail them to the wall. However, a movie like Saving Private Ryan, given proper warnings, should cause no controversy.
