When I hear the word “bipartisan” I reach for my revolver
If y’all are gonna be bipartisan, then what was the argument for voting for you again?

When I hear the word “Islamo-fascism,” I reach for my revolver
but not for the reason the purveyors of the term are thinking. No, it is to defend myself against those that use the expression.
Fascism has two basic usages today, one precise, and one nebulous. (more…)

When I hear the words “[an actor] says,” I reach for my revolver
Brad Pitt says, “I’ll Marry When Everyone Can.”
Are Hollywood types stupid or evil, that is the question.
There is no need to waste many words unpacking his statement.
- Everyone already can marry anyone else, subject to constraints such as parental approval, age, physical capability, and so forth, unless one redefines what marriage is; in which case, I wonder if Brad has considered all the possibilities, absent an objective standard, that that would open up.
- If an injustice is being done somewhere by someone, why should Brad’s female consort, and his bastard children, have to suffer because of it?
He might just as well have said, “I’m going to continue to batter my girlfriend until a man marries a moose.”
