Brownback slams Romney.

Iain Murray explains part of the unwritten British constitution.

A reader writes:

I think you are being a snarky asshole about Paris Hilton – going to jail is a scary, disorienting, horrible experience. Sympathy and compassion and the right attitude, not mocking joviality – especially from a Catholic. This is actually a real person we are talking about.

A reader writes:

The Nick Ut thing is amazing. And what’s more, Wikipedia tells me that the Pulitzer-winning photo of the Vietnamese girl was taken 35 years ago today.

First time: tragedy. Second time: farce.

It’s very hard to beat the Brazilian Institute For Oriental Studies.

As one might expect, man’s best friend has the appropriate response to being stuck in a limo with the stupid spoiled whore who just got sent back to jail:

More SSW action here.

I really must go back to Holland soon. They’ve now invented Booz2Go.

A reader notices something telling: the photographer responsible for the weeping Paris Hilton photographs today, Nick Ut, has a slightly different journalistic pedigree. He took the Pulitzer-winning napalmed Vietnamese girl photograph. And the beat goes on.

Why Pelosi’s rhetoric is dumber and more insulting than Bush’s. I take the point. Can you believe she said something as moronic as this:

"Science is a gift of God to all of us and science has taken us to a place that is biblical in its power to cure. And that is the embryonic stem cell research."

Gag.

Let’s take a moment to assault reason, shall we? The latest, glorious twist in the Paris Hilton story is something that can surely bring us all together, red or blue, male or female, rich or poor. Whoever doesn’t feel an ounce of pleasure at the sight of this mega-rich non-entity finally being treated with a modicum of justice has surely lost the capacity to feel anything. Sorry, Al, I know I should be studying carbon offsets. But far from undermining democracy, this little story about this pathetic, pampered wretch can only restore a little faith in the criminal justice system. It’s almost enough to make up for O.J.

By the way, here’s a site especially for Al Gore. It’s called The Superficial. And it’s currently going cable on Hilton. Bonus points: TMZ says her lawyer is filing a habeas corpus suit! That’s some corpus.
