Ok best new award EVAH!
The Claude Rains Memorial Gambling Awareness Award, if you don't get the reference, shame on you, go rent Casablanca now, now, now!

Are we clear? Has everyone got that? For nearly a year, the fact that Democrats have been saying that it is illegal to fire mid- or low-level political public employees solely becaue of their political beliefs has partly obscured the fact that it is illegal to fire mid- or low-level political public employees solely becaue of their political beliefs, because of course Mr. Ehrlich said that it was all a big coinkydink that the people he happened to have his fixers make up a "death list" and fire as soon as he got into office were Democrats and that Democrats were just bringing it up because they don't like him, so it was clearly a partisan cat fight and we lost sight of the blatantly illegal thing, especially since the Democrats were being all venomous about it.

Kind of a bitch for those mid- or low-level political public employees who were illegally fired solely becaue of their political beliefs, but that's show business. I mean, they did decide to be Democrats. Nobody held a gun to their heads.

Political choices have consequences.

Funny that. Oh and Ann Coulter once again proves that she is rabid, mad-dog, foaming at the mouth bat-shit nuts:

I have difficulty ginning up much interest in this story inasmuch as I think the government should be spying on all Arabs, engaging in torture as a televised spectator sport, dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East, and sending liberals to Guantanamo. .

But if we must engage in a national debate on half-measures: After 9/11, any president who was not spying on people calling phone numbers associated with terrorists should be impeached for being an inept commander in chief.

Um, "dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East"? WTF? And um here's to spying on those brown-skinned people! Er, and yeah let's televise torture...maybe we could build a huge arena or, coliseum, yeah, and then we could throw suspected terrorists in and let them battle each other to the death. Oooh, or maybe we could put some starving lions and tigers in there for them to fight with their bare hands! Now we're cooking! Power to the police state, baby!

I have this sudden, intense mental image of Annie dressed up as Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS...

Except that Ann Coulter is clearly an (ugly) man in drag even at the best of times. Check out those hands. To paraphrase Austin Powers, "That's not a pundit, that's a man, baby, yeah!"

To be honest I've always thought the Adam's Apple a bit more of a giveaway...

You're probably right, but I can't look at her face without having nightmares for a week.

Hell, Casablanca saved my life at the Christmas party this year.

Someday I hope to deal with Ann Coulter in a way that will make people say "When they come for me, 'Board, I hope you'll be more of a help." Until then, I stick my neck out for nobody ;]

Someday somebody will throw a Casablanca party and then I'll be hard pressed to decide who to dress up as. I'd do Louis (because I worship Claude Raines like you would not believe), but I think I might be a little too tall... :(

I suspect she's got a girl skin suit like the killer in Silence of the Lambs. It's the only thing that makes sense.

A sound call.

Nobody gets better lines...

"They give me the bill, I tear up the bill. It is very convenient."

"How extravagant you are, throwing away women like that. Someday they may be scarce."

"Make it ten thousand. I'm only a poor corrupt official."

"All right, but tomorrow I'll be in with a breathtaking blonde, and it'll make me very happy if she loses."

"Rick, we know that there are many exit visas sold in this cafe, but we know that you yourself have never sold one. That is the reason we permit you to remain open."
"I thought it was because I let you win at roulette."
"That is another reason."

I mean, you can't BEAT that!

No you really can't, he just stole that film right out from under Bogart, no question about it. Gods I miss the days when screenwriters used to pen scripts with dialogue like that. *sigh*
Of course this is also a reason I adored the DS9 character Elim Garak so much. He was basically written as the Louis of the show.
