Signs of the impending apocalypse: Hilton, Mr. T, and Atlas Shrugs
Sure signs that we are living in the End Times:
- Paris Hilton is giving up sex.
- Mr T. is giving up gold chains.
- Pamela of Atlas Shrugged is deploying to Middle East to cover the Israel/Lebanon conflict.
Name the Fourth Horseman.
I shoulda known better than to click on the Paris Hilton link -- there was a picture of her trying to look, I guess, sexy.
What do people see in Paris Hilton? I don't get it ...

Ned Block called my friend Ronnie a "good rapper" recently. Does Ned Block assessing rhymesmanship count?

Tom Delay running and winning his old seat back? (Though apparently he'd just resign on day one so Perry could appoint someone, if he's forced to go through with it.)

Oh, wait. He's only a horse's ass.

Wow. If Paris Hilton pledged that publicly, I guess that's that then. No way somebody like Paris Hilton is risking the public scorn she'd face for breaking a vow of chastity.

Uh oh. Likening KL to MLK might have ushered in the End Times.
Not that the folks responsible will care. They'v all got corporate box seats for Armageddon, paid for with Lucifer's Black AmEx card.

#3 -- I only recently discovered Pamela through her ridiculous video posts. She's like a parody of a conservative, or a teenager who's a long ways from growing up. Her Israel excursion will be precious.

Hey! Mr. T. isn't a horseman! Mr. T. has a heart of gold. Maybe Mr. T. looks scary and different to you, but can't we learn something from that? Like maybe how we shouldn't judge a book by its cover? And also, drugs are bad and reading is fundamental. Stay in school.
Maybe you see Clubber Lang when you look at Mr. T., but I see Sgt. Bosco "B.A." Baracus. He's tough, but tender. And also, you have to trick him to get him aboard an airplane, which means he's also vulnerable. I don't know any freaky ontological category that could possibly contain Pamela from Atlas Shrugged, Paris Hilton and Mr. T., so I think we have a major misfile.

I find it somewhat amusing to see that the 3 most popular outgoing links at the moment are the three in this post, exactly in the order you posted them...

BTW -- what's the deal with the quotation about Jews being canaries in the mineshaft?
Actually, if you look at the history of, e.g., Nazi Germany, the proverbial canaries in the mineshaft are the homosexuals ... "they" usually come for the gays before they come for the Jews (cf. Niemoller).

DAS, Niemöller didn't mention gays; he only mentioned communists, socialists, and unions.
