Representative Alan Grayson: Republicans Are 'Knuckle Dragging Neanderthals'

Yep, Represenative Grayson actually says it: Republicans are "knuckle-dragging Neanderthals who think they can dictate policy to America" (at about 5:55 minutes):

The "knuckle draggers" slur is pretty popular across the leftosphere --- which explains how stupid an attack it is. (The "knuckle dragging" associations are based on essentially racist stereotypes that have been debunked by scientific anthropology ... so much for the "reality-based" community!)

But check out Michelle Malkin's post, "
Alan Grayson’s Diarrhea of the Mouth."

And in some related diarrhea,
Matthew Yglesias applauds Grayson's politically incorrect demonology, and essentially extends the knuckle dragging slur --- in defending global warming hysteria --- to the "stupid" population of the U.S. conservative heartland:

In particular, you really can’t talk about the climate change issue in a sensible way without mentioning the irreducible wrongness of residents of a large developed nation endangering the lives and livelihoods of a couple billion people in the developing world with our industrial activities.
Stay classy, Matt.

First SNL, Now 'So You Think You Can Dance': Is Pop Culture Safe for Kids These Days?

I guess it's a good thing that I'm a news junkie, because popular entertainment's getting pretty raunchy these days - and that's saying something. Just last weekend, Jenny Slate swore on Saturday Night Live (and apparently Megan Fox put in a bump-and-grind star-turn with Kenan Thompson). And now it turns out that an auditioner on Tuesday night's "So You Think You Can Dance" flashed her private parts while rolling around on the floor. The New York Daily News has the story, " 'So You Think You Can Dance' Flash: Contestant Exposes Herself on National TV." But for a bit more of an in-the-know take, see DListed, "So You Think You Can Flash Your S***** On Network TV?":

THINK OF THE CHILDREN! First, Jenny Slate f*** bombed us all on SNL this past weekend, and now a giant bare vagina made an appearance on So You Think You Can Dance last night (see above NSFWish). No, Ryan Gaycrest was not a guest judge. An actual vagina popped out on stage when a dancer invited us into her carniceria during her audition. I KNOW! Our pure eyes have been tainted. We should have never boarded the Mayflower and come to America. Dark-sided!
Go to the OMG Blog for even more explict coverage (NSFW).

Everyone's apparently getting a kick out of it, but frankly, it's to the point where is actually not culturally safe to watch television - and readers know I'm no prude, But geez, I've got young kids!

American Nihilist Defends Suspected Terrorist Najibullah Zazi: Blames U.S. Imperialism!

Here's more of the standard-fare anti-Americanism we can expect from the demonic boys at American Nihilist, "Locking up the Innocent." The piece is defending Najibullah Zazi, who has pled not guilty to allegations the he's the mastermind of what's being called "one of the most serious terrorist attacks on American soil since Sept. 11, 2001."

Here's
the comments, from Dr. Obama Biobrain:

The man pled not guilty, yet they're keeping him in jail anyway. What part of "not guilty" don't they understand? It might make sense to keep him locked up if he had admitted he was guilty, I mean, assuming he wasn't making a joke. But someone who says they're not guilty? What sort of justice system is this? Whatever happened to the presumption of innocence?

And the main thing to remember is that this guy's an Afghan immigrant, so we really owe him something. After all, we sent our imperialist troops to his country, sullying his native land with our impure materialism and infidel religion, and we were guilty as hell. Yet our troops roam free, even after admitting to the murders of thousands of his people, while this guy remains locked up for merely wanting to murder ours.
In other words, Americans deserve whatever Zazi and his allies are ready to dish out.

Great. Real patriots over there at American Nihilist.

Nude Brooke Shields Exhibit Prompts Backlash

A photo exhibit featuring images of a young Brooke Shields nude has sparked a cultural and political backlash. Lots of stories in the news. See, "Exhibit Featuring Nude Photo of 10-year-Old Brooke Shields Sparks Outrage." (Via Memeorandum.)

Plus, the Daily Mail, "Tate Removes Nude Picture of 10-Year-Old Brooke Shields After Police Pornography Probe." And from London's Telegraph, "Tate Modern's Brooke Shields Photograph: A Crass Lack of Morals in Mink-Coated Reagan Years":
Whenever the Metropolitan Police force is called to an art gallery to defend our morals, you can be sure that the work they don't want the public to see will be one of the most important in the show.

Tate Modern's Pop Life is a fascinating show, but one of the most interesting works in it is the American artist Richard Prince's 1983 work Spiritual America.

It takes the form of a ready-made or found object – a publicity photograph showing the prepubescent actress Brooke Shields naked, her body wet from the bath. What's more, her hair has been elaborately done and she is wearing so much lipstick, mascara and eye shadow that it looks as though the head of a 25-year-old Playmate had been spliced on the body of a child. The original photo was commissioned with the approval of the child's mother who, as her manager, allowed it to be published in the soft porn magazine Sugar n' Spice as a tactic to get her daughter noticed and so further her career.
The Telegraph features a partial shot of controversial image. The full photograph is here, The Saatchi Gallery: London Contemporary Art Gallery.
