Ann Coulter, in our Columnist section, blows back at Katrina and those who love it, namely the liberals and Democrats. But her column’s really not about that—it’s about the definition of the term “judicial activism”. Liberals don’t understand it, perhaps because it’s only two words strung together instead of eighty, and the word “empowerment” is not contained therein. Ann helps them to understand. She even provides examples. But here’s the first three paragraphs of “Actually, ‘judicial activism’ means ‘E=mc2’” so that I don’t, uh, blow it for you.
Democrats are so excited about Hurricane Katrina, they’re thinking of moving “Camp Casey” to an area outside the National Weather Service. What they haven’t figured out yet is how Richard Perle and the “neocons” cooked up a hurricane that targeted only black people. Meanwhile, rescuers in New Orleans have discovered a lower-than-expected 424 dead bodies or, as they’re known to liberals, “registered Democratic voters.”
In liberals’ defense, they’ve got a better shot at convincing Americans that Bush is responsible for a hurricane than convincing them that John Kerry was fit to be commander in chief. Compared to Kerry, Katrina is a blowhard they can work with.
Liberals think Hurricane Katrina means they get to pick the next Supreme Court justice. And as of today the smart money is on Cindy Sheehan — something about her moral authority being absolute.
Also in our Columnist section, Barbara Kay coincidentally wrote (yesterday—sorry I’m tardy) on the value of marriage, on the heels of Jennifer Roback Morse’s column a couple of days ago.
Barbara Kay’s column is called “The misguided march of the ‘quirkyalones’”. Here’s a snippet:
A two-page spread in the National Post earlier this month surveyed this phenomenon with a collage of “quirkyalone” profiles. (In Web parlance, quirkyalones are those who consider singleness a natural and desirable state). The sample group was divided between young, enthusiastic quirkyalones who may never mate, and older, disaffected quirkyalones who attempt to spin the straw of their relationship failures into philosophical gold.
The never-mateds’ reasons for preferring singleness underscored their ignorance of committed coupledom.
“Quirkyalones believe that maintaining friendship is very important,” a 31-year-old offered. But who—single or married—doesn’t?
A 50-year-old bachelor was described as wanting his independence because he is “in love with his wine, his music, his friends”—as though committed partners drink nothing but Diet Pepsi, in silence, with no one but each other on their speed-dials.
The older, disillusioned post-mateds, on the other hand, spouted literally meaningless fatuities, such as “I found out later that the best partner for me is myself.” Huh?
