Lady Gaga is now walking around with soda cans in her hair. This passes for news at 5:00 AM on a Saturday morning. I am taking this opportunity to state that Lady Gaga grosses me out and that underneath her outlandish costumes she is suprisingly...dudish.
Worse, her music. She sings, and I quote: "La la ah ah ah- ro ma, ro ma ma, ga ga ooh la la- stuck in a bad romance!"
What the hell is that supposed to mean? Why do all her songs have the same beat? No wonder people are getting progressively stupider. Their heads are being pumped full of this stuff.

Disgusting
Donna Simpson, of New Jersey, has only 400 pounds to gain before she reaches her goal of weighing in at 1000.
This is one of the saddest, most digusting things I have ever seen. Here is everything that is wrong with America: the laziness, the utter lack of moderation, the feeling of pride in one's vices, the lionizing of personal choices that ought to be seen as shameful.
Her "boyfriend" (eeeeew.......) supports this. He supports the fact that this woman is destroying herself with food. He must be one truly sick, mentally compromised son-of-a-bitch, to be frank.
And the fact that anonymous online creeps pay to watch her eat? Whoever those people are, they ought to be kept far away from the rest of civilization. This is even worse than the fact that "midget porn" exists.

Wishful Thinking
The Boston Globe says that Catholic opposition to President Obama's awful healthcare plan is "crumbling".
Bullshit. There is still an enormous number of Catholics who oppose this bill, on the grounds that it is undoubtedly going to lead to taxpayer-funded abortions.
I have more to say on this later, but know this: if the Catholic Church supports the Obama administration on this healthcare reform bill, it will reap the consequences. There will be stronger government promotion/coverage of abortion (if Obama can muscle, cheat, and lie this bill through Congress, he will surely defeat its abortion-restricting stipulations similarly). There will be a stronger Democratic party, willing to continue its march towards moral obliteration for all. And there will be an association of Catholicism with the American left that will weaken and hurt Catholicism's position opposite liberal licentiousness on many issues.

Biting the Hand That Feeds You
What the fluff? Patrick Kennedy, having ruled out reelection, went on a paradoxical House floor tirade. His target? It wasn't the GOP. Nor Scott Brown. Nor George Bush. Nor "the past eight years".
What was it? The media. Of all things, the media. The "cynical" media, as he calls "it"*. Railing against the lack of press coverage of the Afghan war, Kennedy pointed up at the gallery, shook his fist, gnashed his teeth, and decried the newsmen.
Was this a stunt? Are you kidding, Patty? The press has praised, promoted, covered for, and lied to protect the Kennedy family for 50 years. After all they have done to shield America's royalty from negative public opinion, Patrick blasted away. Left-wing reporters across the nation must be feeling as though they've been had.
This is the ultimate betrayal. In liberal eschatology, Kennedy will be in a lower circle of hell than Brutus, Cassius, and the Iscariot...and Joe Lieberman.
*One should not refer to the media as "it", since "media" is plural. The singular usage would be "medium".
Plural: The media are sadly devoted to left-wing causes.
Singular: The medium of print news is dying.

Pro-Life QB Tebow Heading to the NFL
Apparently, Heisman-winning quarterback Tim Tebow's Focus on the Family commercial during the Super Bowl isn't going to keep NFL teams from drafting him. Despite last month's whining from Planned Parenthood, Tebow will be conducting private workouts for the Buffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawks. He is expected to be taken early in the NFL draft this month.
My two cents: the Bills should sign him ASAP. They have not had much success at the quaterback position in quite some time. Stints by Doug Flutie, Drew Bledsoe, Trent Edwards, Kelly Holcomb, and J.P. Losman have all proven fruitless. Perhaps the Bills can revive their sad-sack franchise by building a team around a premiere young QB. They are in a tough division: playing the Patriots and Jets twice a year each is not easy, and adding a dominant young passer to the mix would surely make for some memorable clashes against old foes in the fall.
Tebow might just be a dream player, from a public relations standpoint. True, his pro-life views are controversial. But he's a driven, image-conscious young man, and he has shown courage by speaking his mind. Who would you rather have as the face of your team: Tim Tebow, or the party-animal/potential rapist Ben Roethlisberger? Look for some major discomfort amongst Pittsburgh Steelers players, fans, and management this year. Big Ben is a nightmare off the field and his once-promising career has almost been destroyed. Bringing in a nice, Christian guy like Tebow is safer for business, it would seem.
I intend to keep monitoring Tim Tebow on this blog. Charting the impact of his own beliefs (and the media covergae of those beliefs) on his NFL career will make for interesting study.

Publius: I Was Wrong About the Oscars
I was wrong about Scott Brown's chances and I was wrong about Avatar. It didn't win Best Picture. The Hurt Locker did, and deservingly so. I just want to be transparent on this one, so that no one can hold it over me.
Sunday was quite a big night for the Iraq War drama, as the list of winners shows. It won six trophies.
Credit where it is due: Avatar won Best Special Effects and Best Cinematography, both of which it deserved.
Also, it is worth noting that Star Trek won as Oscar (Best Makeup). Star Trek. Oscar. How strange is that?
All in all, I believe that the cause of worthwhile, engaging filmmaking won the day this time. The Hurt Locker is the first Iraq War film to strike a chord with audiences. It is well-crafted, apolitical, and thrillingly plotted.

Embarassing
The United States has apologized to terrorist-harboring dictator Muammar Gaddafi of Libya for criticizing his calls for Jihad against Switzerland.
Go ahead and click on that link. Read the story. This is one of the most humiliating and embarassing diplomatic blunders that Obama's White House has yet committed. Gaddafi's government has openly assisted terrorist groups that have killed American citizens in the past. And we are apologizing to him because we were critical of his calls for more terrorism?
If President Obama does not immediately rectify this situation, than he will cement his place the weakest, most impotent American president since Carter, as far as international relations are concerned.
