Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Ann Coulter said:

“I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word ‘faggot,’ so I — so kind of an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards.”

People in attendance actually cheered.

They do know what the word “faggot” means, right? It really makes me wonder. It’s a derogatory term for someone who is homosexual. Clearly John Edwards is not homosexual. So called “conservatives” know this, right? I will admit in all honesty that John Edwards is not my idea of an ideal presidential candidate.

That doesn’t mean that I think he is gay.

It’s hard to take conservatives seriously sometimes. They say peculiar and outlandish things and expect the rest of us to react with a straight face. Things such as that Ronald Reagan was a great president or that global warming is a hoax. Now we are to believe that John Edwards is gay.

Do conservatives even know what homosexuality is? We have always assumed that they do, but what if they really have no idea what it really means? If so, it certainly begs the question as to why we allow them to have their way in matters pertaining to gay people. Such as the issue of gay marriage.

Even though the U.S. Mint facilities in Denver and Philadelphia have made a combined 300 million of these, the only place I’ve seen them is on eBay. I’m sure they will eventually turn up in everyday life. I’m looking forward to using them.

I like coins. I’m not a coin collector, but I’m pretty sure I have the coin collecting gene. I’ve just really never allowed it to fully manifest itself. It takes a lot of money to collect coins. They don’t call it the Hobby of Kings for nothing. The inference is that kings have a lot of money. More money then electronic technicians such as myself have. It’s true. Kings make more money then electronic techs. I looked it up on Wikipedia once.

I don’t even know who “they” is.

These $1 coins kick off a new $1 coin program that will each feature a dead president. Even the ones nobody really remembers. Even the ones nobody really likes anymore. Every three months, a new $1 coin will be released. The first coin is Washington and the final coin will be of Reagan. I expect right-wingers to go crazy about that one.

Right-wingers love Ronald Reagan. They will have to wait till 2016 to use them.

I was driving home from work today and decided to listen to Sean Hannity. I was listening to XM Radio and CNN was on yet another commercial break. I noticed immediately at Hannity was quite upset about something. The tone of his voice was even more shrill then normal. It seems there is a new weekly TV show on Fox News entitled “Hannity’s America”. Alessandra Stanley from the New York Times watched the show and then wrote about it.

Sean Hannity didn’t like the article. Go figure.

When I got home, I read the article. I thought Sean Hannity’s reaction to the article was funny. The actual article was hilarious.

Underneath the flag-waving swagger, Mr. Hannity’s show is riddled with leftist subliminal suggestion and degrading, un-American images of violence and pornography. Last Sunday Mr. Hannity toured the Bunny Ranch brothel in Nevada and stood over two prostitutes lolling on a bed in skimpy lingerie, their hands placed between their legs, and asked them if they believed in God.

The Bunny Ranch? You have to hand it to him for finding a way of incorporating prostitutes into his show. Who knew that Hannity’s America included prostitutes.

But it’s the sex and violence that suggest that Mr. Hannity harbors a secret plan to undermine American moral fiber. Despite President Bush’s assertion that the execution of Saddam Hussein was botched and disgraceful, Mr. Hannity repeatedly flashes some of the more gruesome video images of the hanging, pictures so ghoulish and unsettling that they could well be the fare for a snuff film.

First Hannity shows prostitutes rolling around a bed, then he shows the Saddam Hussein snuff film. I think to many Republicans, the crappy cell phone video of Saddam getting killed is a form of pornography. That strikes me as being quite off. Most Republicans worship Ronald Reagan and Reagan was really quite fond of old Saddam Hussein. May he not rest in peace.

Sean Hannity is a tool. He wraps himself in the American flag and dishes out disparaging comments about the patriotism of Americans that hold views different then his own. Americans like me. He does this not because it is what he really believes. No, he does it to make a buck.

Hannity’s fake patriotism has made him millions of dollars. He loves to chastise people like Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, and the Dixie Chicks because of their political views. The thing that separates these people (and others like them) from Sean Hannity is that they have never made a buck off their political views. Like he does. In fact the complete opposite is true. They often lose money because of their political opinions.

Just ask the Dixie Chicks.
