September 2004 Archives

I'm letting her columns get away from me. Shame on me. So I'll make this quick...

In the article about Dan Rather, Ann talks about the scandal at CBS and attacks everyone from Bill Burkett to Al Gore to Dan Rather to to Kitty Kelley to Margot Kidder...okay...

Despite all of this bile and hatred spewed, she only clocked in at 7 total fallacies.

But that's not what I want to focus on today. What I wanted to say was that she criticizes CBS for not revealing Bill Burkett as their source for the forged documents because he's had a long-running hatred of Dubya. Okay, fine, but I haven't heard a peep about John O'Neill, the man who runs the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and wrote "Unfit for Command". John O'Neill's made a living debating Kerry, attacking him from the time of the Vietnam war on. He was even hand-picked by Nixon to debate him live on TV during the 60's. To slam CBS for using Bill Burkett while ignoring O'Neill's long history with Kerry is two-faced.

Alright, the other article comes in even lighter at only 2 fallacies, and I have to say that I agreed with the majority of this article. I do think that the New York Times is terribly skewed and, more importantly, wears its bias on its sleeve with pride. It's important that we keep the heat on the Times until they stop the majority of the Socialist nanny-state crap they write.

So, a total of only 9 fallacies across two articles...good job Ann. Maybe one day you'll actually be a voice of reason worth listening to, instead of the shrill white witch of the right.

So my candidate for President, Michael Badnarik, was on my local NPR station yesterday morning. Sadly, I don't think it was a slamdunk. He got cornered on the gun issue and on healthcare, and instead of making a strong case for why the libertarian position on both is the correct one, he got bogged down in semantics.

Also particularly painful was the whole 'Switzerland' issue. Many in favor of actually supporting the 2nd Amendment highlight Switzerland as a good model because everyone in that country has a gun in their house. Not just a gun, but a military assault rifle. Problem is, the Swiss do have guns in their houses, but the ammunition is tightly controlled. Badnarik didn't know this nuance, and when someone on the show confronted him about it, he floundered.

What should have happened instead was this:
Caller: "No, the Swiss have boxes of ammunition in their house, but they're sealed, and monitored by the government, and you get in trouble if you open them."
Badnarik: "Sure the bullets are monitored by the government, but since when has the monitoring of anything been a deterrent to crime? We monitor prostitution, drug traffic, gambling, and a host of other activities which are illegal and they continue to this day. If someone is intent on committing a crime they will commit the crime, irregardless of whether the government's watching them or not. The fact that the Swiss people have guns AND ammo in their house without an increase in crime is still significant. In fact, the amount of regulation on bullets is a non-issue in my mind, and shouldn't be what ends this debate. We have more important things to discuss than just that."

Oh well. Next time perhaps.

It never ceases to strike me how stirring and wonderful the Carmina Burana is. I grew up listening to Orff's masterpiece, and still, every time I play it, it sounds fresh and bold and magnificent.

I think I could listen to it a thousand times over without tiring of it.

You keep demanding the release of women prisoners in Iraq while holding two young Italian women. Tell you what. Let the Italians go and stop being hypocrites.

The school district in Muskegon, Mich recently simulated a terrorist attack on a school bus to test the ability of emergency responders to deal with the situation. Who were the terrorists? Arabs? Chechens? Students on a rampage ala Columbine? No. The terrorists were homeschoolers.

Quote:
"The exercise will simulate an attack by a fictitious radical group called Wackos Against Schools and Education who believe everyone should be homeschooled. Under the scenario, a bomb is placed on the bus and is detonated while the bus is traveling on Durham, causing the bus to land on its side and fill with smoke."

Excuse me? We're giving you tax dollars so you can reinforce some lesson like "home-schoolers are nutty"?

I'm so tired, I think the following is deep:

"Do what you love, love who you do, and be with the ones you got"

Someone put me to bed.

It's 0129, do you know where your developer is?

Right here, sitting in front of a computer, clearing up issues that confounded him earlier. Now, if only he could stop speaking in the third-person, things might get better.

I missed a party I was really hoping to get to on Friday night. Jeff was holding a bachelor party for a mutual friend, and I was supposed to go down to Harrisburg to be there, but I was at work until past 9pm that night.

I really wish I could have gone, especially because someone needs to teach the 'Dark Arts of the Husband' to the soon-to-be-bethrothed. Oh well. Perhaps this weekend I can get together with Jeff and some other guys and have a beer.

So, apparently, on TV, Jimmy Swaggart, that fun-loving rapscallion, has promised that if a gay man looks at him like he wants to marry him, Swaggart will kill him and let God know why he died.

Excuse me? WTF? I'm sorry, but did I just hear you say you're going to break one of the 10 Commandments and many admonitions from Jesus to "hate the sin, love the sinner" so you can fill some morbid need to go all John Woo action style on a gay man?

And again, like the exploding mail story, this gets ZERO news coverage. Where John Kerry's left testicle was during Vietnam was is apparently more important than a domestic terrorist group sending out exploding mail. The percentage of blow in Bush's right nostril in 1968 is more important than an influential and popular tele-evangelist advocating the murder of gay people. Ugh.

Can you tell me how many governors in the United States have received exploding mail in the last two weeks? Yeah, you probably haven't heard about it either. The last time I read the story online, the count was at two.

Now it's 14.

Why haven't we heard more about this?

Another great spyware article appeared on the web and they linked to me, so I feel that it's important that I promote them. The article is a series of reviews from GooRoo, and they do a Consumer Reports style review of the pros and cons of several spyware removal tools. If you're looking for something to clean your PC, this article will show you the way.

Read the article here.

It's that time of the week again: we're counting the logical fallacies in an Ann Coulter article again. Today we're defanging this article.

Wow, she pulled out a lot of stops today. Especially at the end. I'm not sure what's going on with Ann, but she's mad.

Alright, let's dive in. So at the top of the article she talks about democrats having the "paranormal ability to detect racism and sexism". Sure, liberals seem extremely sensitive to these issues, often more so than common sense would dictate, but paranormal? That's exaggeration. AnnCoulter.fallacies++

She then turns on Bill O'Reilly, calling him a liberal and saying that HE TOO can read minds. Maybe Ann was watching too much John Edward (the psychic) and confused him with John Edwards the candidate, so now she thinks that all liberals (O'Reilly's a liberal?) have ESP. That's exaggeration AND ad hominem. A two-fer!

So I had a vision last night while I was sleeping. It came to me in a fevered dream, as I worried about the people in the path of Hurricane Ivan. I dreamt I was standing on the beach in Florida about to be swept away by the wind and swells. Suddenly, out of the clouds in the front of Ivan, Jesus stepped forward bathed in golden light and the hosts of angels blew trumpets and sang. The wind grew very still and the rain stopped.

He put his hand on my shoulder and said "Do not worry my son. These hurricanes are my father's way of wiping Florida off of the map". Immediately I jumped up and said "But Lord, why would you want to do that?" And he replied "Why, to prevent them from screwing up this year's presidential election too. Duh!"

It all makes sense now. And you have it on good authority, because the good Lord Jesus said it.

I'm experiencing Vietnam Fatigue. Every day I turn on the news and hear debate about the Vietnam War, something I thought we had settled 30 years ago or so. *sigh*

It's gotten bad enough that I don't even care about some of the bigger stories that are coming out in the press now about the candidates and 'Nam.

For example:
CNN is reporting that Dick Cheney spent 2 months in Hanoi negotiating contracts for Halliburton to handle the food service and laundry service for the Hanoi Hilton and a chain of 6 other POW camps. Apparently CNN has some proof, in the form of documentation, but experts are calling that into question since they're written in crayon and have the name Brittany on them.

FoxNews has been running a story that John Edwards was Pol Pot's operating legal counsel in Cambodia during the Khmer Rougue, and actually fought in three skirmishes between Cambodian forces and NVA regulars along the border. They've also claimed that Edwards represented an NVA regular in a civil case when he slipped on a poorly constructed part of the Ho Chi Min trail, but that's at this point unsubstantiated.

After that story from FoxNews, Air America Radio, America's primary source for liberal radio countered with the story that Bush's actual job in the Texas ANG and later in the Alabama ANG was to bomb Mexico under orders from Poppy and the CIA to take America's attention away from Vietnam. They played a radio clip where W called Mexico part of 'el eje latino del mal estupendo'. Unfortunately, the shadow war against Mexico went poorly for the Americans, so it hasn't come to light until now. Apparently the devestation and bloodshed were just horrifying.

Which brings us to the most shocking story. It came to my attention on the the Sean Hannity Show that Kerry spent a delusional 3 weeks in Bangkok, high on angel dust, screaming about Laotian insurgents, and slaughtering Thai prostitutes in the back of a VW minibus. Democrats cried foul, saying this is a typical right-wing smear campaign engineered by Karl Rove, but some Texas businessmen have come forward with statments from 48 people who claim to have been in the minibus at the time. Their evidence is still being coroborated.

I would have, of course, been shocked when I heard these stories any other time in the news, but because of the Vietnam fatigue, I just don't care. But I'll keep you informed if I hear any more about these stories.

Here are some quick answers to questions I'm getting:
1. No I'm not dead
2. Yes, I'm still working on this site, I've just been very busy
3. Yes, I miss you all, and hope to hear from you soon

The Illinois State Rifle Association is running a story about a special taskforce that Mayor Daley in Chicago has brought together to start confiscating all guns in the Chicago area. But even more interesting is the fact that this taskforce, known as CAGE (Chicago Anti-Gun Enforcement), has access to nationwide gun purchase records, and has been downloading them.

Why does the Illinois State Police need to know if I chose to buy a gun in Pennasylvania? I don't think that they should even know if someone in Illinois bought a gun, but I know that makes my more statist friends claim I'm a nut, whatever. But I absolutely see no need for them to know about anything going on beyond the borders of their state.

Call me crazy, but I think that privacy is important, and the ability to act on my constitutionally protected rights is also important.

At the end of August, the FBI released more information about the case involving the death of Brian Wells, the pizza delivery guy that died after the collarbomb strapped to him went off.

They released the following characteristics on who they believe was the mastermind behind the crime:

Lived or worked in or near Erie and has probably moved away.

Is frugal, saving everything - including scraps of materials to reuse in building projects.

Works with wood, metal, wiring and plastic and is comfortable around power tools.

Had access to an area, such as a home workshop, where long periods of time could be spent working alone and undetected.

Takes pride in building things and spent a lot of time planning and constructing the bomb components.

Probably built a variety of objects over many years, preferring those that are destructive, such as knives or other weapons.

They've also increased the amount of the reward to $100,000. Holler if you know anything.

But now that Bush has just released documents showing that he was indeed suspended from the ANG that were supposed to have been released under the FOIA request by the Associated Press, can't he get in trouble?

I mean, if you just arbitrarily withhold documents you're supposed to hand over, that's a crime, right?

Well kids, it's that time again, yes time to debunk Ann Coulter. Well, it's not technically debunking her, since I'm not taking issue with the facts she presents. This is more like defanging her, which is appropriate since she reminds most people of a snake. Damn, I'm starting to sound like her. Well I guess it rubs off.

So here we go:
Todays article is entitled: "The More John Kerry Changes, The More He Stays The Same". Ooh, catchy.

Okay. She starts off with 1 exaggeration and 2 counts of mockery in the second paragraph. 3 already, and she hasn't made a point yet. You'd like to think that all of the third paragraph is an attack on John Kerry, but it really isn't. Kerry indeed changes his position, flip-flops, so it's hard to tell where he stands. He might say his position is nuanced, I say he needs to say something substantive. Whatever.

Ann then goes on to make some truly funny statements and point out some of the more obscure but humorous ways that Kerry has dramatically changed his position.

This was a very light article for her, and I'm frankly a little disappointed. I was looking forward to spending some time skewering the skewerer, but not today.

Frankly, the way Kerry's been phoning in his campaign lately makes it possible for Ann to basically phone in her article. Which leads me to phone in this update and then I'll hang up.

Total fallacies counted: 3

As an aside - I wanted to say something to the effect of "She's ignoring what Cheney said and letting it slide", but she's really not. Ann Coulter truly believes that a vote for Kerry is like placing a large bullseye on America, and she credits the vice-president for speaking the truth. I, however, don't believe that that's necessarily the truth, and I don't think that Cheney truly believes that either. I think that he was saying that more for calculated political effect than to make a point. But this is not the place to carry on that discussion.

Cheney Predicts Another Terrorist Attack If Kerry Wins

So, let's ignore the fact that Cheney's trying to scare people into voting for Bush by promising more terrorist attacks if Kerry wins the election. I mean, that's just ugly politics. "Vote for me, or you're all GOING TO DIE!" I guess it worked for LBJ against Goldwater. Whatever.

So, when the first attack occurred, Bush and Cheney said that the attack is all the Clinton administration's fault. They tried everything they could to pin the blame on Clinton...so if another attack occurs, wouldn't it be the Bush administration's fault? Or are they completely composed of anti-fault, driving all fault and blame away from them?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Morning Sedition on Air America Radio just called the mainstream media "fluffers for the President while he screws America".

That made me spit out some Diet Pepsi.

Here's the thing that kills me about people's continued calls for immediate Chechen independence, ala Russia just cuts it loose and lets it go: If Chechnya gets independence tomorrow, it becomes the next Afghanistan. It becomes the new global terrorist Wal-Mart, where people can go buy whatever they need (except now with better access to surplus Russian military equipment), train for whatever they want, and spread throughout Europe more quickly and easily. (If this all hasn't happened already).

It would become a viper's nest of islamic hate within months, and that's a disaster we couldn't afford.

The British Red Cross is asking for donations to help the Sudanese refugees displaced by the Janjaweed militias.

They're asking for money, but I've got a better idea: I'm willing to donate a few rifles and some ammunition that the people in the Sudan could then use to defend themselves against the quasi-Islamic, government-supported rape squads.

In fact, I think that the NRA should put some balls behind its rhetoric and form a task force that goes out and delivers weapons to people to who are being opressed and teaches them how to defend themselves. If they did that, I'd sign up the next day and become a member.

MSNBC is running a story about Putin's refusal to negotiate with the Islamic fascists operating out of Chechnya that attacked the school in Beslan. It said that Western officials are calling on Putin to negotiate, but it failed to say which. Who cares? That's not material.

When you walk into work and the air conditioning's still broke and the temperature's 85 in the office. We'd open the windows, but we don't have any.

If you're interested, the Christian Science Monitor has a political quiz that will help you determine who you should vote for.

I think it's well done, and the sections of the quiz are nicely broken out between Economic Issues, Foreign Policy, and Cultural Issues.

Kudos to the CSM.

It's good to see compassionate conservatism in full effect. After a protester was dragged to the ground by Madison Square Garden security, a young man jumped out his chair and started kicking the young lady.

Video can be found here. They include a picture of his face, and the New York City police are looking for him. If you've seen him, or know him, holler at me and I'll pass it along.

What a bastard.

I can't say that I necessarily believe everything that I see here but it does raise some interesting questions.

I'm getting tired of the Republicans assuming they have a mandate from God, and that everything they say is correct, but I'm even more tired of a few things from the Democrats:
1. I'm tired of the doves running everything. Sometimes you need to go to war to protect yourself. If the bully on the playground pushes you around, you don't run to the teacher, you hit back. The same goes for nations.
2. I'm tired of hearing from the Democrats that they're the party we should vote for because of the principle "Anybody But Bush". I know it's meant in jest, but some democrats have taken it too far. STOP IT! I'm not going to vote for just anyone merely because he's not Bush. I think I've demonstrated time and again that I'm no fan of Bush, but I'm not going to vote for Kerry because he's the anti-Bush.
3. STOP WITH THE VIETNAM shit already. Fine John, we know you went to Vietnam. That's admirable. I'm thankful that you chose to serve. Move on. Next issue. In fact, let's talk about something OTHER than national security and the fact that you went to Vietname. Every time I see a democrat on TV it's like "mumble mumble Hanoi mumble mumble Delta mumble mumble Vietnam Vietnam war hero mumble mumble".

At this point, I wish we'd have Howard Dean to vote for. At least then we'd be talking real political and social issues.

I'm excited that Nanowrimo is coming up soon. (That's National Novel Writing Month, in case you're wondering) I'm already working on a novel right now, and I'm really loving working on it, but I have another idea for the novel I'm going to save for November. :)

I truly feel like I've begun to clear out all of the mental blocks I was having before.

How very sweet it is.

I know some others have pointed this out, but in case you need some further evidence that this was NOT an act of rebellion or a war against the state of Russia, Arab Jihadist mercenaries were fighting alongside the Chechen terrorists. That's right, Al Qaeda members were involved in the attacks on school-children. THAT'S TERRORISM!

When is the media going to start labelling these people as what they are? Terrorists!

At least some Arab newspapers are running with the truth. How long till we can convince the American media to do the same?

I wrote in July about how the Osh Kosh police in Wisconsin were running around seizing people's guns, and I called it the police state, but apparently the chief of police in Oshkosh was only getting warmed up. He had someone arrested for waving a libertarian banner that said "No Bush, No Kerry, Vote Badnarik".

Call me crazy, but that is still legal right? I'm flabbergasted on this one.

I was turned down by Apple for their iTunes Affialite program because of "offensive religious materials". Apparently because I criticized muslim terrorists the other day, I'm offensive.

Thanks Apple. Good to know where you stand.

I mean, I recognize it's their choice, and they have the right to tell me no, and I'm fine with that, but I really don't think that calling a spade a spade is religiously offensive. Oh well, whatever.

I was glued to reports of the Russian School standoff and I was getting angrier and angrier as I listened to news stories. The reporters kept calling the hostage-takers as Chechen rebels, or Chechen separatists. What a load of bunk. They're terrorists! Plain and simple, terrorists. When they attacked 8-year-old children, they're no longer fighting against the state, but they are waging terror, and for that reason I feel no sympathy for them or for their cause.

Rebels do not do this to children. (WARNING, disturbing image). Terrorists do that to children.

ClickZ.com, a website for marketers, is speculating that Claria, our favorite manufacturer of spyware, preparing itself to be bought out. The word is that someone like Yahoo will buy them to compete with Google's AdWords.

We'll see.

The Inquirer recently ran a story about how some of the Philadelphia business-owners and politicians are pushing to have Philadelphia host the Summer Olympics. I'm a fan of the Olympics, but I don't think that Philly can host them. Here's my list of why:

1. Because Mayor Street, or whomever his hand-picked successor is, would try to find a way to make every athlete and coach coming to Philly pay the wage tax.
2. They'd never be able to find the athletes because they'd always be running to Delaware to buy things tax-free.
3. Athletes + (Cheesesteaks + Tastykakes + Funnelkakes + Pretzels) = Very sick athletes
4. Everyone would try to take Septa to get to events, but they'd have to take the train into the 30th Street Station and then pick up a bus, which would drop them off 13 blocks from the event, so they'd all have to huff it there and be late.
5. Because the area around the Italian Market would secede from the Union and declare itself a province of Italy for the two weeks during the Olympics.
6. New Jersey would keep whining that they should have gotten the Olympics instead of Philadelphia.
7. We'd have to hear the Rocky Theme EVERY DAMN TIME there'd be a boxing event.
8. The locals would refuse to attend any event that they couldn't drink beer at. "Well probably more people would watch synchronized swimming if you served beer".
9. The French athletes would keep getting pelted with batteries, beers, and whatever else the fans could find in the stands.
10. NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE, in Philadelphia could ever win a sporting event. Think about it. It'd be the first Olympics where only Bronze and Silver were awarded.

I was walking down the halls in my office trying to get some stretch time over lunch and I noticed the fire extinguisher on the wall had a sign on it: "Nonflammable Gas". Well, no shit.

I was surpassed on Google by Pest Patrol when someone searches for Claria. It's kind of a sad thing, except for the fact that Pest Patrol's page about Claria is filled with good information.

So I'll add them to my links of Spyware resources.

Yesterday was Heather's and my third wedding anniversary. Before you ask what magical and wonderful things we did to commemorate, I'd like to give you this glimpse into the start of the day:

I left home early to get to work early so I could be home early (there's a pattern in there) and so Heather and the kids were still asleep when I left. At 9am I got a phone call from Heather. I could hear the kids screaming and playing in the background.

M: "Hey baby, Happy Anniversary!"
H: "What????? Oh, yeah, I guess it is our anniverary. Is it already September? Yeah. Happy Anniversary honey."

So when I got home, Heather was at the doctor's with McKenna, we walked around the neighborhood, bathed the kids, and played cards. That was our special night. ;)

Speaking honestly for a second, I have to say two things:
1. I recognize that right now, we have two little ones, and many of the things that Heather and I would like to do just aren't possible right now, and I'm fine with that. If I can't take Heather to NYC to see a show on Broadway for our anniversary, that's fine, because the time will come later when we can.
2. The last three years that I've spent married to Heather have been the most exciting, stressful, wonderful, magical, amazing years I've ever had. Despite the stress and heartaches and troubles we've had (getting laid off twice, moving twice, having two kids in the NICU, the hypoglymic lows, the seizures, and all of the other things that have happened), I can't imagine spending these years with anyone else, and I'm thankful I've had Heather by my side. I love her dearly, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

bureaubrat - /'byur-&-"brat/ -

1. A bureaucrat who can't understand why you don't respect them enough for their position, and lets you know that they could be Assistant Supervisor I in two more years after they take the last 3 tests, and won't you be sorry then?

2. A bureaucrat who can't comprehend why you aren't willing to give more money and time to their office, department, or cause, and is angry at you for your dislike of bureaucratic structures.

So, the Chechen rebels attacked a school today, and they're holding some 400+ students and parents hostage. If you haven't heard about it, here's a link for you. What a mess. I'm serious, that's just crazy. They're promising to kill 50 students for every terrorist the Russians kill.

I have two thoughts:

1. This shows the consequences of having an unarmed populace. In Israel, teachers are armed. Parents going on field trips go armed. They do this because the Palestinians tried crap like this. It ended fast when everyone started going to school armed and would-be terrorists got killed. Funny how that works. The Russians should consider arming their people and then find out how long it takes before the Chechnyans stop running raids into other provinces.
2. I hope that the Russians don't negotiate. If they feel they must negotiate, I'd send Slim Pickens in to talk them, Dr. Strangelove style. In fact, I have a picture of him on his way to his last negotiation meeting:
   
   For those of you completely out of the know, Slim Pickens is riding an atomic bomb that's been dropped out of a B-52 onto Soviet soil. It's from the movie Dr. Strangelove. Now that you've made me explain it, it's kind of lost it's humor. But I'm going to continue on with my point. I'm sick and tired of these muslim extremists, these islamic fascists that would impose their religious point of view on the entire world. The minute you start doing this kind of stuff, you're fair game. I'm not going to have any sympathy for you or your cause. That goes for the Chechens, the Palestinians, anyone.

While I'm at it, why does it seem like the Islamists are causing all the grief and pain right now? Al-Qaeda, the Janjaweed, the Chechens, the Palestinians, the Iraqi insurgents. Seriously guys, go fuck yourself. I'm tired of you killing innocent civilians and even your own people trying to make some deep religious and political statement. All you've done is show how little you believe in your own religion and your own God.

So, my solution to finding Bin Laden is simply this: we blanket that no-mans land between Afghanistan and Pakistan where he's supposed to be hiding with pamphlets explaining that unless someone gives him up in the next week we're going to nuke the entire region. We've tried money, it didn't work. We tried Special Forces, that didn't work. Let's pull out the big sticks now. If you don't want to go nuclear just yet, we can go with chemical weapons. That's fine. Let's get it done. I'm ready.

CNet is reporting that Claria has settled lawsuits with several companies that were suing it. These companies were not happpy that Claria, through it's crapware program Gator, was covering their ads on websites with ads from competitors.

No word on how much was given to each of the plaintiffs in the case, but I hope that the Claria executives had to give up their Ferraris and million-dollar mansions.

Better yet, the executives of Claria should have to give everyone in the United States their home phone number so we can call them for help when they're crap spyware crashes our computers. I think I like that idea best.

"Hi, Jeff McFadden please."
"Hi Jeff, this is Maurice. Hey can you swing by my friend's house? Your POS software is making his computer unstable and I don't have the time to help him format his drive and reinstall windows. Can you handle that for me? Great. Thanks."

Well, it's that time again. It's time to count the logical fallacies in the latest Ann Coulter column.

Today she's doing some more talking about John Kerry and the Swift Boat Veterans. This should be fun.

Surprisingly, we had to get to paragraph 5 to hit our first true attack, which is, again, and ad hominem attack, against Democrats in general. Personal attacks seem to be a favorite of Ann. We start the count at 1.

In paragraph 7 we find exaggeration when she calls Doug Brinkley Kerry's hagiographer. A hagiographer is one who writes biographies of saints. She's using it in the sarcastic sense, duh...

Another ad hominem attack in paragraph 11. That raises the total to 3.

And she closes the article with 2 more personal attacks. This was a light day for her. Maybe she had writer's block. Anyway, that makes for a total of:

5 logical fallacies in today's article.
Coulter's spread a total of 21 fallacies across two articles. That's not something to be proud of, especially given how many people hold up her articles as something akin to the truth.

Oh well. There's no accounting for taste.

I've got 6 more GMail invites to share if anyone wants them. Apparently I'm a wallflower because I've been sharing the love and I'm running out of people to invite...
