Posted by Bill *** Anyone noticed a certain, um, uh, aesthetic sensibility in the recent episodes of Vent? Quoth Allah: Let me be the first to say: dear God. I thought I was watching an oddly political toothpaste and shampoo commercial for the first 30 seconds or so. As Goldstein admits, boy, is his upcoming guest spot ever going to wreck that trend. Hard.

Where do the tracks for your hate train end, Steve?
Will a blogger help Allen recover from the "macaca" gaffe? It might be a chicken-soup solution: it certainly wouldn't hurt. Ultimately, if candidates go out of their way to say foolish things and exhibit poor judgment, all of the bloggers in the world won't undo the damage. What would help would be a respected voice to broadcast an apology for a single misstep and to provide an explanation that made more sense than the Allen campaign's initial statements provided. In the best possible relationship, a well-connected blogger would have consulted on the response to ensure it didn't make matters worse. I'd be willing to do it for six figures and an unlimited supply of pop tarts (the popular breakfast pastry, not the Duke Cunningham kind). And they'd just have to accept that I'll be voting for Giuliani in the '08 primary.

And just TRY to get that disco bad boy out of your head now! Posted by: Steve the LLamabutcher at August 23, 2006 11:41 AM I'm a big fan of toothpaste myself. Posted by: Flea at August 23, 2006 01:44 PM I like the pictures with the knife in the back. I think for Isreal, the hate picture it should have another level of hate. Maybe a little guy with a bomb jacket or a mushroom cloud kind of hate. My Favorite part is that the UN isn't important enough to get a role. It would pretty much be nothing but questionmarks though... Posted by: Big Mac w/ anEgg at August 23, 2006 04:49 PM First, Bethany is -- uhhh... What? Allah's tagline for the "Bethany-themed etc etc" was awesome: "I know" That pretty much sums it up. Dear God, why can't she be on Fox (no pun intended) five times a week instead of Crazy Annie C? Viewership would literally go through the roof.
I realize I'm somewhat preaching to the choir on this, and I'm definitely one to accept legit criticism of Israel (and chuckle at the often-hamhanded use of the anti-Semitism club by its most zealous "defenders"), but if the goal is to help people who aren't news junkies understand the Middle East, then treating Iran-Hezbollah the same as EU-Israel is simply going to confuse matters in the long run, and probably amounts to yet another (in this case, I'm sure unintentional) bit of "moral equivalency" conventional wisdom regarding that region of the world.
