Debbie Schlussel Makes Me Feel Smart

-
I have to admit that I'm starting to like Debbie Schlussel, even though she is quite possibly a pedophile. She is so outlandishly stupid that she makes me feel smart by comparison.

Debbie Schlussel was criticized by Octavia Nasr in one of the CNN blogs for her repeated attacks on Miss USA Rima Fakih. Ms. Schlussel, in turn, got bent out of shape because Ms. Nasr referred to her as a neoconservative, which she believes is "an anti-Semitic slur."

Really, Debbie Schlussel? Really?

Neoconservative is an anti-Semitic slur? Really?

Neoconservatism is generally defined as being a branch of conservative thought that advocates for using economic and military power to export American values abroad. Wikipedia's entry on it is here. Merriam-Webster Dictionary has a similar definition that's available here.

Differentiating neoconservatives from other types of conservatives is relevant simply because they have significant philosophical differences other branches of conservatism. Fiscal conservatives, for example, are opposed to much of what neoconservatives advocate for because it invariably involves spending massive amounts of tax dollars.

Classic examples of neoconservatives include former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney. Both were frequently referred to as neoconservatives. Neither were of whom are Jewish.

If a certain school of political thought has a definition with no bearing on one's religious affiliation, and is applied equally to all share said ideology irrespective of their religion then, by definition, it can't be viewed as a slur against any religion. Therefore, it is complete nonsense to call neoconservatism an anti-Semitic slur.

All of which leads me to conclude that God created Debbie Schlussel to make the rest of us feel smart.

Hayley Williams Flashes Twitter

I have to confess, I had no idea who Hayley Williams  was prior to this morning nor did I have any idea who the band Paramore was. In fact, now that I do know, I'm not all that certain that I really care about Paramore. But I digress. The thing is, sometime last night, Hayley Williams' Twitter account was reportedly hacked. This resulted in a photo of Hayless Williams topless making its way onto the internet. Hayley Williams insists that it was a simple security breach. Personally, I can't help but feel that this smells too much like a publicity stunt. Either way, the photo is out there and a lot more people suddenly know who Hayley Williams is - coincidence or not. Oh, and yes - it has taken an enormous amount of restraint for me to not show the uncensored version of that photo.

I was surfing the web last night, looking for more news on Kristen Bell . I came across this post on TMZ.com about Kristen at the beach . They were critical of the photo of her to the left, but admired her in the one to the right. I don't care what the folks at TMZ say. Granny shades or not. Hair up or down. Kristen Bell looks darn hot.

33 Women in 2 Weeks?

James Hunt James Hunt  was the Formula One champion in back 1976 - a time long before I was paying any attention to either women or cars. According to a new biography by Tom Rubython , during a two week binge while in Tokyo that year, James Hunt and his friend Barry Sheene  each had sex with thirty three different flight attendants. And yes, that's thirty three women each. Over the course of fourteen days. An average of a little more than two stewardesses per day. James Hunt and Barry Sheene set the bar high (or low) for an outstanding summer vacation.
