Top 11 Ways The Dixie Chicks Have Been Oppressed

Saturday I had the pleasure of sitting in with Brian "St. Paul" Ward and John Hinderacker on the Northern Alliance Radio Network. The Dixie Chicks were a topic of conversation, as they are promoting a new movie, "Shut Up and Sing," which opens this week in theaters. Of course, they are claiming this movie documents all the oppression they face for speaking out against Emperor Bush. Here are the top 11 ways they are being oppressed:

11. Good bands and one-hit wonders alike wouldn't let them cover any quality tunes, so they were stuck recording Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide."

10. Disenfranchised as voters, as George Bush was re-elected over their objections.

9. Red Cross refused to accept their offer of a $1 million donation.

8. Never inducted into the country music hall of fame.

7. Forced to endure Learned Foot's posting on their blog.

6. NBC refused to run an ad for their movie.

5. Entertainment Weekly forced them to cover their titties when they appeared "nude" on the cover.

4. Weren't invited to perform as guests in Hayseed Dixie's album, "A Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC."

3. Almost never receive radio airplay outside of 1,000 country music stations.

2. In an interview with Howard Stern, he refused to include them his perverted sexual fantasies.

1. Wikipedia entry on them references the fact that some men find Natalie Maines to be a bit chunky.

Top 11 Ways Democrats Will Spin James Webb’ Literary Work

The novel written by Virginia Democratic Senate candidate James Webb contains a graphic description of a sexual act between a man and a boy. Here are the top 11 ways that Webb and the Democrats are or will attempt to spin this:

11. He was still a Republican when he wrote that novel

10. Search through every word of every one of his novels and you won’t find the word “M*caca”

9. According to Bill Clinton, that isn’t even a sex act

8. At least he didn’t IM the novel to Congressional Pages

7. Gary Glitter thought that it was great art

6. His publisher wanted him to tap the virtually untouched NAMBLA market

5. There are all kinds of scenes like this in Shakespeare

4. A popular pop singer has optioned the film rights, so it can’t be too out of the mainstream

3. It’s not hypocritical for a Democrat to be a disgusting pervert

2. It’s Bush’s fault!

1. Lynne Cheney’s children’s books are much more perverted – if you decode her codewords

Bachmann-Wetterling Debate Turns Ugly

Do you get the feeling that these gals just don't like each other? Brief video here (a must see).

More An Annoyance Than An Honor

I have been elected Soil and Water Commissioner of the MOB as a result of doing a poorer job of running an ineffective campaign than Chad the Elder. My opponents in the next election will be able to make an issue of the fact that I missed all of the commission meetings.

Your Nietzsche Leader

I often fret that we at NIGP aren't displaying enough nihilism. So I was thrilled to stumble across this link. It is a site dedicated to both philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche and the syrupy cartoon "The Family Circus."

The Nietzsche Family Circus pairs a randomized Family Circus cartoon with a randomized Friedrich Nietzsche quote.

You can refresh the page to get newly generated random combinations. This one is my favorite, as Family Circus aficionados know well that Dolly always has something cute to say:

One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly.

Jim Klobuchar’s Super Strib Fans

[The Super Strib Fans are gathered around a table in the cafeteria of the Minneapolis StarTribune]

Jim Klobuchar:
Good afternoon, my friends, and welcome to “Jim Klobuchar’s Super Strib Fans”. I’m Jim Klobuchar and with me as always are the Super Strib Fans: Jim Boyd … Nick Coleman … Kate Parry … and The Old Scout.

Super Strib Fans:
Hey, Jim

The Old Scout:
Yo, wassup, dawg?

Jim Klobuchar:
Aight, here we are coming to you from Minneapolis, Minnesota, the heart of DFL country and the home, of course, to a certain newspaper which has carved out a spot on the Mt. Rushmore of journalistic greatness. That newspaper, which is known the world over as … Da Strib!

Super Strib Fans:
Da Strib! Da Strib!

Jim Klobuchar:
Okay, as you all know, we have an election coming up. How about some predictions on what the final Minnesota Poll will say in the U.S. Senate race.

Kate Parry:
Why are we predicting the results of the poll and not the election?

Jim Boyd:
Are you suggesting that they’ll be different?

Kate Parry:
Oh, you mean the Rod Daves Minnesota Poll? If anything the Minnesota Poll will be more accurate than the election because the Republicans can’t cheat on the Minnesota Poll.

Jim Klobuchar:
Final Minnesota Poll, Kennedy or Amy. Your predictions?

Nick Coleman:
Da Strib’s Amy 84, Kennedy 8

Kate Parry:
Da Strib 92, Kennedy 2 !! Da Strib! Da Strib!

Jim Boyd:
Da Strib’s Amy 105, bad Kennedy -3

Kate Parry:
-3?

Jim Boyd:
Hey, Rod Daves will find a way!

Super Strib Fans:
Da Strib!! Da Strib!!

Jim Klobuchar:
Old Scout, how do you see it?

The Old Scout:
Da Strib 78, Kennedizza 20

Jim Boyd:
What? Is that supposed to be a joke, funny boy?

The Old Scout:
Da sizzle ofa kizzle Kennedy izza grizza closa. He’ll make it a race-zilla. Dats how I see it dawg.

Jim Klobuchar:
Calm down everybody, he sees a close race. That’s his prerogative. Now gentlemen, let me ask you this …

Kate Parry:
I’m not a gentleman, I’m a woman.

Nick Coleman:
Are you contradicting again Parry?

Kate Parry:
Oh, no. I know that you know stuff. Good job, Klowby!

Jim Klobuchar:
Now gentleman, let me ask you this: Who would win, the Strib or a class five tornado?

The Old Scout:
Yo, class five? Da Tornado, but it would be close

Kate Parry:
I would go with the tornado too!

Jim Klobuchar:
But what, if Mark Dayton warned da Strib about the tornado?

The Old Scout:
Da Strib!

Jim Boyd:
Da Strib!

Kate Parry:
Da Strib!

Nick Coleman:
Da Strib!

Jim Klobuchar:
Well, I see we’re out of time. Now remember to tune in next week when we’ll discuss T-Paw versus da Strib for Governor. Aight, Strib vs. Meryl Streep. Who would win the Academy Award for best actress, Strib or Streep?

Super Strib Fans:
Da Strib! Da Strib! Da Strib!

Bono is a rich man, he wears a rich man's cloak

Nobel Peace Prize nominee Paul Hewson, aka Bono, is in the news again. Is he instructing us greedy first world conservatives of our duty to our brothers and sisters in Africa? Well, actually, yes. But today he's also in the news for a surprising reason. Bono recently endorsed David Strom's ideology by suggesting that high tax rates are an affront to human dignity every bit as offensive as third world poverty.

Now I can't find a quote to back this up. However, I remember someone once telling me that actions speak louder than words:

The rocker and his U2 band have moved their business empire from Ireland to Holland to avoid paying the new high tax rates that have been imposed by the Irish government on music royalties.

Not surprisingly, Bono's greed is seen by some as hypocritical. Our first example is NewsMax commentator James Hirsen:

The problem is that this is the same guy who has consistently urged the U.S. government to use its own citizens' tax dollars to finance other nations' social programs and forgive Third World countries' debts.

And:

British television talk show host Graham Norton launched a harangue against the Irish rocker for his apparent hypocrisy." People like Bono really annoy me," Norton said. "He goes to hell and back to avoid paying tax. He has a special accountant. He works out Irish tax loopholes. And then he's asking me to buy a well for an African village."

Don't blame Bono for being a hypocrite. He likes hearing what a great humanitarian he is. And if he can command hundreds of dollars for a concert ticket on the free market (minimum price for U2's Aloha Stadium concert was $60 for general admission nosebleeds, scalpers wanted more than double face value), then he is worth what he gets.

However, he might just want to think twice about preaching to governments about how they should spend the tax revenues they obtain from the folks who, unlike Bono, aren't rich enough to avoid paying their taxes.

Light Blogging

My blogging will be light. I have to go out shopping for dress shoes, long pants, and non-Hawaiian shirts so that I can go to Mass on Sunday.

Media Goes To The Wells To Make Up A Story

Our friends in the media get routinely beaten up about errant reporting. BBC News has found a way to publish complete crap and conjecture without worrying about appearing on a NARN segment of "This Week In Gatekeeping." One of the great things about this hypothesis is none of us will ever be around by the time it is conclusively proven wrong (kind of like global warming):

Humanity may split into two sub-species in 100,000 years' time as predicted by HG Wells, an expert has said. Evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry of the London School of Economics expects a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass to emerge. The descendants of the genetic upper class would be tall, slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent, and creative and a far cry from the "underclass" humans who would have evolved into dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures.

I wonder what the beautiful people will look like?

. . . men will exhibit symmetrical facial features, look athletic, and have squarer jaws, deeper voices and bigger penises.

Sweet. You know what they say about those deep voiced guys. Meanwhile, women will look like this:

Women, on the other hand, will develop lighter, smooth, hairless skin, large clear eyes, pert breasts, glossy hair, and even features, he adds. Racial differences will be ironed out by interbreeding, producing a uniform race of coffee-coloured people.

OK, it probably isn't fair to suggest that liberals will evolve into ugly trolls while conservatives will be sexy. After all, Jessica Alba has been around Hollywood for long enough to become a tree-hugging bleeding heart. So in the interest of "fairness," here's a local conservative who makes the morlocks look good:

Top 11 Things That I Don't Want To See At Mass*

*All are things that I have witnessed in the last few years

11. Baseball caps--Is it asking too much to comb your hair for the Lord?

10. Sneakers--This is a church not a gym

9. Shorts--Put some pants on pal

8. Mini-skirts--Get that behind behind me Satan!

7. Sandals on men--I know Jesus wore 'em but this is 21st century America not 1st century Israel hippie

6. Bare mid-riffs--Skin should not be in

5. T-shirts with logos/slogans--I'm sure the Staind concert was great dude, but I don't need to know

4. Tank tops--When did you stop beating your wife?

3. Athletic jerseys--God doesn't care how the Vikings do on Sunday

2. Flip-flops--Nothing says casual disdain like a pair of flip-flops

1. Cleavage--Normally I've very pro-cleavage (just a peek--it's like looking at the sun), but there is a time and place for everything and church is not a place for displaying your wares ladies

An Imaginary Debate: Carmen Electra and Albert Einstein on Quantum Mechanics

Katie from Yucky Salad With Bones points us to this quote from Carmen Electra in US Weekly (I really must start subscribing):

“I'm really into quantum physics. Some of my friends are into it, some of them aren't, so I'm trying to get them excited about discovering all these interesting things about thoughts and the power of thoughts. It gives me chills thinking about it. It's fun.”

Carmen’s evangelical enthusiasm for quantum mechanics leads one to wonder how a debate between her an Albert Einstein (who was skeptical of quantum mechanics) might have gone.

SISYPHUS:
Welcome to the Electra/Einstein debate on quantum mechanics. Ms. Electra, Dr. Einstein, your opening statement please.

ELECTRA:
I get chills thinking about quantum physics! It’s fun!

EINSTEIN:
I do agree that quantum mechanics is an internally consistent theory that has made successful predictions and I admit that the Feynman-Wheeler path integral formulation does appeal from a principle of least action perspective. However, let's consider the paradox I suggested with Podolsky and Rosen ...

ELECTRA:
I get excited about all these interesting things about thoughts and the power of thoughts.

EINSTEIN:
I think you misunderstand. Quantum mechanics states that by observing an event, you collapse the wave function for that event. That is, you find out which of the possible states of a system that the system is actually in. You don’t actually have any control over which state the system actually ends up in – the probability for ending in each state is determined by solving the Schrödinger equation for that system.

ELECTRA:
Some of my friends are into it, some of them aren't, so I'm trying to get them excited about discovering all these interesting things about thoughts and the power of thoughts.

EINSTEIN:
No, quantum mechanics doesn’t work that way! It DOES NOT say that you can control events just by the POWER OF YOUR THOUGHTS …

[Carmen Electra removes all of her clothes]

EINSTEIN:
Oh, my God, I CAN control events just with the power of my thoughts!

SISYPHUS:
No, she takes her clothes off during every debate.

EINSTEIN:
This debate is over!

Top 11 Songs from Wellstone! the Musical

You've read the book, you've seen the movie, you've attended the camp, we hope you're not the guy who taught at the school ... and now it's time to see the musical.

Yes, Wellstone! the Musical has opened to predictably rave reviews among the local thespian set. Not surprising, since I believe Wellstone! advocated for marriage rights for thespians. If you count your self among that crowd and flock down to the Great American History Theater to see St. Paul Wellstone in all his gauzy, hagiographied glory, here are the top 11 songs you might be tapping your toes to:

11) Be the Change*

10) Let Us Rise Up and Sing*

9) Hard Times Coming Our Way*

8) There's No Ism Like Socialism

7) Tax-a-lot!

6) I'm Dreaming of a Rainbow Holiday Season

Top 11 Reasons Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid Didn’t File Financial Disclosure Reports On a Las Vegas Land Deal That Made Him $1.1 Million

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) has gotten himself into a little bit of a pickle involving his apparent failure to file required financial disclosure documents. But don’t worry, he has plenty of excuses. Here are the top 11:

11. Thought “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” applied to Senate Ethics rules

10. His “associates” don’t care to see their names splashed around in government documents, if you know what I mean

9. Ethics rules are only for Republicans because they’re the greedy evil ones

8. Was too busy rooting gay Republican child molesters out of Congress to be bothered with trivial paperwork

7. It was for the children!

6. Was too busy memorizing the list of gay Republican staffers on Capitol Hill so he wouldn’t accidentally turn his back to any of them

9. Chamberlain wasn't a peanut farmer

8. Chamberlain didn’t enable Hitler to build atomic weapons

7. Chamberlain's accent didn't make him sound like an effeminate redneck

6. Chamberlain had the good taste to die shortly after leaving office, instead of disgracing himself further

5. Chamberlain didn’t go to foreign countries and rip Churchill

4. Chamberlain never gave away the Suez Canal

3. In return for betraying Western Civilization, at least Chamberlain got a nifty piece of paper, far more than Jimmy Carter ever got

Top 11 Other Surprising Studies in the Lancet

The New York Times reports that a study in the British medical journal Lancet estimates that more than 600,000 civilians have been killed by violence in Iraq since the start of the war. What the New York Times doesn’t tell you is that the same issue of Lancet contains some other surprising studies. Here are the top 11:

11. There actually were one million men at the one million man march

10. Total number of Iraqis killed by Saddam Hussein: 3

9. Kate Moss weighs 796 pounds

8. The economy was actually good during the Carter Administration

-University of Wisconsin professor Kevin Barrett

11. Hitler supported scientific research

10. Hitler was able to use diplomacy to negotiate peace treaties with his enemies

9. Hitler invested in alternative energy

8. Hitler invested to improve his country's infrastructure

7. Hitler tried to ease the plight of the Palestinian people

6. Hitler used a brush to paint while Bush clears brush

5. Hitler was a teetotaler and certainly never did cocaine

4. Hitler actually saw combat and was wounded in action

3. Hitler was a much better public speaker

2. The French cooperated with Hitler

1. With literally HALF the cahones of Bush, Hitler invaded four times as many countries

Another Republican Sex Scandal

Mary Kiffmeyer is sure a boring secretary of state.

Over in Wisconsin, Republican SOS candidate Sandy Sullivan just published a tell-all book titled, "Green Bay Love Stories and Other Affairs." In the book she brags about being a skank who liked to bang the jocks. One pearl of wisdom from Sandy:

Remember, the '60s was the `dawning of the Age of Aquarius' and some women ... were thrilled to experience this brave, new freedom, and celebrate our sexuality ... and the football players loved it!

I liked my Republican party a lot better when it was just a bunch of mean old men who hated paying taxes.

For those of you who want a more family friendly book on the off-field action of the NFL, try Mark Yost's "Tailgating, Sacks and Salary Caps."

Rock Solid in the Blogosphere for Summer 2006

I’ve been putting it off for as long as possible, but the time has come to name the Rock Solid in the Blogosphere winner for the Summer of 2006.

But first, let’s pause to thank our outgoing winner: Mary Katharine Ham. M-Kat has thrived since leaving Hugh Hewitt’s nest and has had a great three-month reign. She has come into her own blogging at townhall and especially in her videos at hotair. If I had one complaint, it would be that she hasn’t done more parodies of “The View” with Michelle Malkin.

Sigh, now I suppose we must move on and declare a new winner. So, the Summer 2006 winner of the award that Hugh Hewitt has called a “high honor and great distinction” goes to ... John Hinderaker.

This may come as a surprise to those who have followed our sometimes bitter rivalry/competition with Power Line, but the fact of the matter is that we have always admired their work. Yes, we have been jealous of there recognition by liberal magazines like Time and Playboy and they were no doubt jealous that we were named right-wing blog of the year by City Pages, but when you get right down to it, both of our blogs are pretty awesome.

True, when perusing Power Line, one has to be careful to not accidentally read one of Paul Mirengoff’s Everton posts (all reasonable British Premier League Football fans are for Arsenal, of course). But, John Hinderaker makes it worth the risk, especially during pageant season.

Nowhere is his expertise more evident than in his excellent coverage of beauty pageants, most recently, the Miss World competition, where he notes the influence of reality TV on the proceedings. Although he failed to mention the eventual winner in his Miss World preview posts, one is still drawn to them again and again.

Here is a sampling of the best of Hinderaker:

Miss World 2006: preview, the climax approaches, final
Miss Universe 2006: preview 1, preview 2, handicapping, final
Miss America 2006: final
Miss Universe 2005: preview (warning: no pictures), handicapping, final, outrage
Miss Universe 2004: preview, handicapping, live-blog,
Miss World 2004: approaching climax, preview, final
Miss Argentina 2004: final
Miss USA 2004: preview 1
Miss World 2003: prelims 1, prelims 2, handicapping, final
Miss America 2003: final
Miss World 2002: controversy (warning: no pictures), final (warning: no pictures)

The other worthy nominees were:

Kevin “It’s an honor just to be nominated” Ecker

Katie from Yucky Salad with Bones who was the front runner until she inexplicably declared “The Breakfast Club” to be the best High School movie of all time

Dean Barnett, who once again proves that Hugh Hewitt is better at choosing co-bloggers than sports teams

And, the go-to guy for election and political analysis, Michael Barone.

Congratulations, John Hinderaker, on joining the elite club of Rock Solid in Blogosphere winners. Enjoy your reign.

Top 11 Democratic Reponses To The North Korean Atomic Bomb Test

11. “Karl Rove engineered this to distract from the Foley scandal.”

10. “There was no nuclear test; Dick Cheney planted the TNT – just like he did on 9-11.”

9. “This is what happens when you fail to follow the wisdom Clinton and Carter.”

8. “At least North Korea isn’t covering up inappropriate Instant Messages to pages.”

6. “There was no test. The seismic activity coincided with Ted Kennedy’s and Dennis Hastert’s annual sumo wrestling match.”

7. “The seismic activity was caused by Global Warming”

5. “Yeah, yeah, nuke tests are bad. Now let’s move on to something important, like finding a way to protect our children from gay Republican Congressmen.”

4. “I demand a full investigation into whether Foley IM’d Kim Jong Il.”

3. “If this keeps us from retaking the House and Senate, Kim Jong Il will have finally gone too far!”

2. “If we would have set up midnight basketball leagues in North Korea, their scientists would have had something to do besides build nukes.”

1. “It’s the Foley scandal, stupid!”

Top 11 Things That Atomizer Could Have Bought Instead Of Twins Playoff Tickets

By now, you've all probably heard that the "Domefield advantage" supposedly enjoyed by the Twins has been anything but in recent years during the playoffs. In fact, with the game one and game two losses to Oakland, the Twins have now lost seven straight playoff games at home dating back to game two of the 2002 ALCS.

One of our acquaintances from the world of blogging, Atomizer from the deservedly obscure blog "Fraters Libertas," has had the misfortune of having personally attended six of these games. We were discussing this around the NIGP water cooler the other day and wondering how much the poor sap had laid out over the years to see his team in the playoffs only to be end up bitter and disappointed.

We conservatively estimate that the cost was somewher around $650 and present the Top 11 Things That Atomizer Could Have Bought Instead Of Twins Playoff Tickets:

11. Sixteen 1.75 liter bottles of Bombay Sapphire

10. Admission to every town ball game in Red Wing for three years

9. Sixty-five Cobb salads at Keegan's ($9.95 each)

8. Eight months of premium HD cable package so he can watch movies instead of baseball

7. Fifty-four twelve-packs of Summit

6. Eighty-three copies of Noam Chomsky's Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance

5. 144 packs of cigarettes (at $4.50 a pack)

4. 13,000 paper bags to wear over his head

3. $650 worth of stocks (with a 12% annual return--admittedly very good--he could have approximately $20,000 in 30 years)

2. 656 punk songs from I-Tunes (99 cents each)

1. A trip to Oakland to see the Twins actually win a playoff game

Top 11 Magazines More Interesting Than The Claremont Review of Books

Powerline is trumpeting the arrival of another issue of the CRB. As a former subscriber, it's hard to describe just how dry, stilted, academic, esoteric, wooden and just downright dull this magazine is. Only a man of Mitch Berg's vast intelligence and background understands what unexplained references to "Clausewitz" mean.

So, I have come up with a list of Top 11 magazines I'd rather read. I didn't make these up, btw. They are all real.
