Ann Coulter, why couldn't you have stayed with your jaw wired shut? I feel like we almost got through an entire election season without seeing you on the news, but suddenly you have a new book out and you're back to spewing your hateful message all across the airwaves.
Well no more! With NBC canceling your appearances because of bad vibes or whatever this close to the inauguration, are you worried that your 15 minutes of shock value novelty has finally bored even the most thin-skinned liberal? And if so, to what heights will you have to elevate your crazy rhetoric in order to grab people's attention again?
Maybe if we provide a helpful time line of the last two years of your insanity, you'll be inspired to come up with some new reprehensible material disparaging women, blacks, Jews, Muslims and, of course, those dirty, dirty liberals. CONTINUED »
The U.S. Army is going to start a webcast straight from Iraq, so potential recruits see that it is still possible to host a vlog while in the midst of an unwinnable war against an ill-defined enemy in an unfamiliar land a million miles from home.

(And then Matthews had to ask about black people.) CONTINUED »
"This trip has been one of the most grueling and demanding physically that I have ever done, in probably the most inhospitable place in the world. The Helmand Desert, known as the Desert of Death, average temperature 47 degrees Celsius, 126 degrees Fahrenheit. In the afternoon heat being in the sun is like feeling yourself being cooked from the inside. Add body armor and Kevlar helmets, and after a few minutes simply walking became a Herculean task." [FNC]
The blogs are in a tizzy over photos like these of recent troop withdrawal Prince Harry, who spent 10 weeks in Afghanistan only to be forced home by Matt Drudge's "exclusive" item that trumped the British press' embargo. In exchange for keeping quiet, the UK papers were promised access to be used after his safe return home.
Now that he's back early, he's been quickly reduced to beefcake status. Where he belonged. CONTINUED »
