Peggy Noonan is such a twit

When she started chewing on Sarah last fall, along with the rest of the worthless snooze media, I finally realized that Peggy Noonan wasn’t the far-seeing iconoclast I had thought. Now, as the Seablogger suggests, when she can encounter a continent-spanning technology like wi-fi on a jet flight and somehow equate it to garage-level industry, it shows she’s just another empty head with a deadline and no original (much less logical) thought.

Gay marriage? I still don’t care

Nevertheless, it’s interesting that the civil unions allowed to homosexuals are becoming increasingly popular with heterosexuals in France. The reason: you can get out of them without losing property or paying alimony. (These people are childless, obviously.) Thus to the conservative "fear" that gay marriage would undermine traditional marriage. The civil union alternative, at least in France, is already undermining traditional marriage. Me, I still can’t get exercised over the gay marriage issue. Even if most of them married and divorced monthly, they’d only match what heterosexuals already are doing.

Muslim beheading comes to New York

The Religion of Peace is at it again. It’s just changed venues. An old tale told in a new setting. Lucky us.

UPDATE: Meanwhile, this crime has become one more illustration of why American newspapers are dying. They could puff this guy – before he became a murderer in a typically-Muslim fashion – but now they not only can’t report what he did on the front page but they try to excuse his method on page twenty-six. Pathetic.

Nuff said

California bailout

Speaking of suckers, why should we spend our money to bail out a bankrupt California which has spent decades looking down their oh-so-much-better noses at the rest of us? They have it all. They just can’t pay for it.

Go Arizona!

Personally, I couldn’t care less who wins the Super Bowl. But Mr. B., for whom all things sports are important, is rooting for Arizona. So, by all means, fight fiercely Arizona. You probably have the best-looking cheerleaders, anyhow.

UPDATE:  Didn’t matter, apparently. Steelers won. Mr. B. forgot to watch, maybe that was it. I didn’t care to.
