This post deserves linkage simply for making a connection between Archbishop Rowan Williams and the Doctor’s Arch Enemy the Master. Money Quote:

Well, the Master had his flaws, I’ll give you that. One of which was an unwavering commitment to the forces of evil. But at least he didn’t waffle, like Dr Rowan Williams. He wasn’t always strictly truthful, but unless you were massively gullible you knew where he stood. He was in favour of unbridled greed, tryannical world domination, the enslavement of entire galaxies, and the ordination of women bishops.

I don’t think much of Williams myself but I see though Thompson’s unflattering comparison with the 3rd doctor’s foe. He knows Rich’s comic blog has a New 3rd doctor story in progress and is engaged in shameless blogwhoring in the hopes of getting crossover hits.

You can’t fool me.

…After seeing this question at The Reclusive Leftist concerning Meghan McCain Picture:

Having covered-by-proxy the feminist bases, I’m now going to indulge my curiosity and ask the group at large (including everyone in Finland — hei, ystävyys kotona Suomi!) the thing I’ve been wondering ever since I saw Meghan’s picture: what’s up with her boobs? I’m not criticizing or attacking or snarking; I’m just trying to figure out what the deal is. Are those implants? The shadowing is very weird.

I’ve avoided telling this story because it sound wrong but she has given me courage so I’ll repeat the story as I told it in comments over there:

I can’t tell that story without my Passion of the Christ story…so here goes…

My mother is VERY Catholic. When the Passion of the Christ came out I took her to the first showing, as we sat down, a man with a seeing eye dog sat in front of us. Considering the movie was in Aramaic and Latin that was rather odd, but anyway…

…when the movie was over everyone left very somberly. I asked my mother what she thought, she said she was VERY impressed…

…she couldn’t believe the dog had sat quiet through the entire movie. When ever the subject of the movie she talks about the dog, she still can’t get over it.

Last year my son and I went to a Sarah Palin Rally in NH. She was really impressive and authentic. At the end she was signing autographs (both my son and I failed to get one) as the crowd thinned I saw her from the waist down for the first time…

…and I still shake my head. I’m from a big Italian family, I went to a Catholic school I have known and do know more women with 5 kids or more than most people these days.

Her hips are the wrong shape. When you’ve had 5 kids your hips have a particular shape, her’s are wrong, they just don’t fit the paradigm. It still makes me shake my head. It’s like Babe Ruth’s legs; they make her look weird. They’re just all wrong!

I think Sarah Palin is awesome, I would support her as a national candidate over any other candidate. No pol has ever matched my positions as close or impressed me more…

…just don’t get me started on her hips. I’m my mother’s son.

My son still laughs at me when I go on about it. I don’t talk about the BBC interviewing me on camera, I don’t talk about the disgusting counter rally of teenagers, or the professionalism of the secret service that really impressed me. Not about her fine speech and the fact she radiates competence. Not that she reminds me of my mother and big sister as the type of person who gets things done.

I go on about how her hips look weird on her. Sometimes I’m just Sheldon Cooper without the Ph.D.

Yeah I know how it sounds but it doesn’t matter they just look Wrong that’s my position and I’m sticking with it!

Maybe it’s my breath…

but I’ve noticed my trackbacks no longer seem to appear on Michelle Malkin or hotair when I link to their posts.

My blog might accidentally be in their spam filter or they might consider my links shameless blogwhoring but otherwise I have absolutely no clue.

Gallup polled me this afternoon…

…on healthcare. Basically they asked me how I felt about Obama then a bunch of person question about how I felt about stuff in general.

In 46 years this is the first time I’ve been polled by Gallup it was interesting but seemed to end abruptly.

I would have expected different questions but hey we conservatives have to be willing to talk to these guys.
