Annika's Journal Farewell Tour: Part XII, American Skankwomen Rubric Bequest
Many of you enjoyed the rubric "American Skankwomen," which was originally designed to poke fun at Brittany, then morphed into an anti-Lindsay Logan category.
When Annika's Journal is gone, do not despair. Let me recommend that you subscribe to Michael Buckley's videoblog, What The Buck? He is brilliant!
Watch Michael crack on Brittany, Paris and Lindsay.
"The gays can rejoice in their new Liza." LOL, that is too funny.

A,
I'm hoping that your final post will include a huge picture of you with "BEEN REAL!" stenciled across your midriff.
Annika's Journal
kisses male readers goodbye

Hey Annika -
Thanks for doing this, I loved it all:
history, politics, poetry, MNF, television, movies, books, comics, stories...even Victor!
I have been coming here for so long (daily since mid 2003), that I'll probably keep doing so for a about a month after you're gone...
Good luck in your new career.
thanks again

Citizens For A Better America
The aptly named group Citizens for a Better America is doing work that I support wholeheartedly. Check them out here. They speak, I believe, for the vast majority of Americans.

on the other hand, some people do not ever look bad, no matter how old they get. Loyd Bridges just looked like a grayer version of himself up until he died.

I doubt that it's the same thing. Who wants to go out like Nelson Rockefeller? Well, probably all of us. Doris Kearns Goodwin loved to tell the story of him dying with his young whorelet Flagrante delicto, inflated pneumatic dick and all. I've always thought of her plageristic fall as God's humor, hoisted on her own petard. I want to go out with a bottle of single malt in one hand, and my Colt 45 Model 1911 in the other, having just offed a member of the US Senate from California.

Scarlett Johansson, Scintillating Intellect...
...on a par with Cameron Diaz,
Johansson says, "We are supposed to be liberated in America but if our President had his way, we wouldn't be educated about sex at all. "Every woman would have six children and we wouldn't be able to have abortions."
I must have missed the President's introduction of the "No Child Gets To Learn About Sex Act." Anybody got a link on that?
The source article also says that Miss Johansson gets tested for HIV twice a year. Honey, if what I heard about you is true, I'd bump that up to about twice a week.

Have you read the bona fides of the fellow the Bushboy has appointed to be in charge of reproductive health ( I don't recall the actual name of the agency but I think it is a sub to PHS? A madman. A psychotic who has presented papers that assert that women who have multiple partners lose the ability to emotionally bond. He is against all forms of birth control for single and married women and promulgates the debunked theories about abortion and breast cancer, abortion and birth defects etc. No abortion under any circumstances.
So, I don't think Ms. JohanssonÂ’s comments are such a stretch. While they might not be literally true it is no surprised that this administration has been the absolute worst on issues of reproductive health, sex education and so forth. They pander the RR at every opportunity.

Straw,
Can you please let us know how you define a "madman" and a "psychotic"? Now, Castro, for example, is clearly both these things, yet I've never heard you use those terms to describe him or your other left-wing heroes/butchers . This doctor just happens to disagree with you. I'm not certain that is sufficient to earn the labels you've assigned to him.
With that said, he was a terrible choice. His paper trail alone should have made him ineligible for the position, and his comments about "bonding" were ridiculous and anti-intellectiual. The guy is an embarrassment to those of us who consider ourselves Christian, conservative, and intellectual because he is a walking caricature.

In all seriousness, I saw part one of the Good Morning America interview, and Gibson did not come off well. He seemed self absorbed. He tried to make lame self-effacing jokes but they didn't sound sincere, and he just looked sort of manic. Plus, he referred to his alcoholism in the second person, which someone should have warned him not to do. It makes him sound like he's still in denial. When he didn't want to answer a question he opened his eyes wide and stared at Diane Sawyer, as if to say "don't go there."
Tomorrow, in part two, they're supposed to get into the anti-semitic stuff more. I doubt Gibson will perform any better. He totally copped out when Sawyer asked him why he said what he said. He blamed it on the alcohol, but that doesn't explain how tequila can turn a non-bigot into a bigot.

I'm pretty much with John Derbyshire on this. I have long believed that we're all bigots, to at least some small degree. I think there's something innate in human beings that fears/dislikes the "other." I think human history bears out this theory quite nicely. And if you look around the world, there's still a hell of a lot of that going on. Happily, most of us -- in this country, at least -- choose to suppress that "something," whatever it is, through reason. Alcohol inhibits reason.
But few of us are willing to admit our innate bigotry, even to ourselves. And we -- hypocrites that we are -- certainly don't accept it in others. So Mel can't come out and say openly that maybe on some level he has a little problem with Jews, but rationally he knows it's crazy and wrong and he puts it out of his mind except -- oops -- maybe sometimes we he gets a little drunk.
Makes it pretty tough to give a satisfactory answer.

I think Mel is probably anti-semitic, just because the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. And he seems to have such a hard time denying it.
The easiest thing to say would have been, "hey I was angry that I got arrested and I wanted to insult the cop for revenge. I saw that he had a Jewish last name so I started going off on him, just to piss him off. I didn't mean any of that, I was just being an asshole."
Mel almost had it when he said we all say things we don't mean when we're drunk, like we might tell a loved one we hate them or we want to kill them. He was on the right track with that, but them Mel said he didn't know the cop was Jewish. Now that doesn't make any sense to me. If he didn't know the guy was Jewish when he said those things (despite the name badge all cops wear), that excuse doesn't work.

Celebrity Sex Videos Nobody Wants To See
Radical Redneck alerted me to the following bit of celebrity gossip:
He may have played nerdy eighth-grader Samuel (Screech) Powers in the sitcom "Saved by the Bell." But former TV geek Dustin Diamond can now take his place with Colin Farrell, Tommy Lee and Kid Rock as the star of his very own sex tape.
Everyone who remembers Diamond as a lovable putz is in for a shock once they see a 40-minute video in which he engages in a kinky three-way with two women, sources tell us.
We can't get too graphic here, but word is that the action includes some bodily functions and an act known as a "Dirty Sanchez."
I looked up "Dirty Sanchez" in the Rolodex of Love [nsfw]. Then I wished I hadn't.
Dirty Sanchez: A time honored event in which while laying the bone doggie style, you insert your finger into her asshole. You then pull it out and wipe it across her upper lip leaving a thin shit mustache. This makes her look like someone whose name is Dirty Sanchez.
Ugh.
Anyways, there's nothing that might induce me to want to watch Screech and two chicks fucking on video. In fact, John McCain might want to add that to his list of prohibited torture methods, just in case anybody at the CIA gets creative.
So I got to thinking. Who else might make the list of Celebrity Sex Videos Nobody Wants To See?
1
There is a whole scene in "The 40-Year Old Virgin" devoted to obscure titles associated to (what some may consider deviant)sexual practices. It's fucking hilarious. The "Dirty Sanchez" is, of course, included.
It's worth renting the movie just to see the "extra features" portion of the DVD.

Diamond has been trying for a new image every since he appeared on that Celebrity Boxing show and beat up Horshack. Other people whose careers could be resurrected by a sex tape include the guy who played Webster, and the guy who played Urkel. And maybe Lily Tomlin - or perhaps not.

"Firecrotch" Explained
For those who don't follow news about the famous and semi-famous, here's the May 16, 2006, origin of Lindsay Logan's "firecrotch" nickname. It's one of the funniest things I've seen on YouTube in a long time.
So there you have it. "It's orange and it fuckin' stinks like diarrhea . . . she has freckles coming out of her vagina, and her clitoris is seven feet long."
That was spoiled rich kid Brandon Davis, who later apologized to Lindsay, saying:
What started out as a joke got completely carried away and I am horrified at the words that came out of my mouth. I consider Lindsay a friend and I hope she accepts my sincere apology for my reprehensible actions last week.
If he considers Lindsay a friend, what must he say about people he don't like? Apperently, Brandon is now in rehab for alcohol and coke. Big surprise there. When he gets out, he ought to consider stand-up comedy.
1
Much to my shame, I used that firecrotch term in HS (1989) to humiliate an ex-girlfriend. Ah, boys will be boys, right?
Anyway, check out these pictures of Lohan.

In related news, the ACLU managed to handpick some federal judge that ruled that Wiretapping Progam "unconstitutional."
"At all costs" except,however, when it offends the sensibilities of liberals who think all Americans should be able to have contact with AQ and other terrorist organizations.

More on the judge who made this silly ruling.
Her name is Anna Diggs Taylor. Yeah, you guessed it: A Carter appointee, which is almost enough said. It gets better; she an affirmative action selection. Diggs Taylor is a black female, who also is part of the "Gender and Racial Ethnic Fairness Task Forces for the Sixth Circuit." Well, isn't that nice. What-fucking-ever. Hopefully, the Bushies will appeal, and this will get to the Supreme Court where hopefully the adults can rule correctly - that is if Kennedy can manage to find his cajones.

All they have to do is get a warrant from some hand picked reactioary ignorant slug of a affirmative action (RW style) Bush appointee so what's the fucking problem? To call those who oppose what may be unconstitutional behavior soft on "Terror" is puerile pandering. Blu, unlike you, there are fine people in this country who don't bow to the god of "expediency and the consequences be damned if you save my sorry as from those who hate me and envy my freedoms!".

Straw,
All that you said may be true, but she is just wrong on the law. Read the post that I linked. It definitely editorilizes, but it also goes into the case law relevant to this issue. (I think that we've had this specific discussion before.) This judge (like many liberals judges)ignores precedent and the Constitution. Her opinion is basically...well her opinion...sans Constitutional justification or precedent.
I can see where you are coming from - this is one of those issues where I don't think the people who disagree with me are totally crazy. I just think they are wrong.
Now, the issue of affirmative action judges....ahh fuck it. That's along discussion....

Even if the case law supports it, it is wrong. Its like free speech; protects almost all that you can utter but there is still plenty you should never say. (others have said this with more grace but you get the gist.)

Let me clue you in on something Mr. Jariv Voroshilov. Anyone who would spend even five seconds writing the e-mail you wrote to me is by definition a loser. That's a scientific fact. Look it up.
Plus anyone who does a google search for "Lindsay Logan's email" is a stalker as well as a loser. That would be you. Seek help.

My E-Mail To Robert Redford
So you're totally not going to believe this, but I got an e-mail from Robert Redford, the famous actor!
Here is what it said:
Dear annika,
When President Bush took office in 2001, the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline was $1.47. Today the average price is $2.89 and itÂ’s much more in many places. This surge in gas prices has hit a nerve for many around the country, reminding us of an economy that is increasingly uncertain for the middle-class, a growing addiction to oil that draws us ever closer to dictators and despots, and a fragile global position with a climate that is increasingly out of balance.
It's time to rise to the challenge and Kick the Oil Habit.
We just launched a campaign to take on Big Oil companies and demand better energy solutions. Please take a moment to visit our site and watch our powerful video that shows how Big Oil and their backers in Washington are profiting while working Americans are paying more.
Our first action is to challenge oil companies to double the number of E85 ethanol fuel pumps at their stations within a year and pledge to offer renewable fuel at half of all gas stations within the decade.

Dear Mr Redford,
You get paid obscene amounts of money to pretend. In case it never sunk in, you can't really do those things. Why do you think you can really influence the price of fuel?
BTW, one of your private jet trips to the Sundance festival uses more fuel than I do in a year.
Sincerely,
A real person

...and if oil companies double the number of E85 pumps at their stations, this will miraculously call new ethanol supplies into being. By further miraculous intervention, this ethanol will be produced without using the natural gas or coal which is required as fuel in today's ethanol plants. Indeed, it will be transported without requiring trains or trucks (which are required for today's non-miraculous ethanol, which cannot travel through conventional pipelines.)
Why would anyone care what an actor thinks about energy policy?

Actually, I agree with the gist of Redford's comments. Ethanol from corn, though, doesn't provide a net energy gain, so that isn't a med or long term solution, beyond getting movement in the direction of renewable fuels. The easiest solution is reducing demand, but addictions are hard to break.

Ok.. going out on a limb here. Good ol' RR had a pre-written email he sent out to any sucker he thought might listen to him. No offense but your fifty 'OMG' in all it's variations probably spurned a restraining order if nothing else. Movie stars are people. Mostly who don't give a sh*t about the peons like you and I.
I once wrote my Congressman... I got this lengty reply about 'serving those who serve me' which I knew was a total crock of shit.
Just keep your eyes open sweetie.
A friend.

So, have you heard from Rob Reiner yet? He's a famous director and actor who has some really really really cool ideas. (Since Reiner is in a state of disgrace, does that mean that Warren Beatty will re-emerge?)
And wasn't Daryl Hannah up in a tree today? Perhaps she wore the mermaid costume.

Or in Legal Eagles where Robert Redford and Debra Winger are together and see one of the bad guys. Robert Redford takes off on foot to try to catch him. Debra Winger, who doesn't know how to drive a car, feels it necessary for her to jump into Robert Redford's car and try to follow him. She makes a wrong turn and finds herself going the wrong way into traffic on a large heavily trafficked street. There follows one minute of her frantically dodging cars at the last moment. Very funny. Ha, ha, ha. Like, how much gas did THAT waste?!

Quoting this buffonery:
"I actually had this idea. I was thinking, and yesterday I had this great idea about gas prices. Cuz like they're so high and all. And I was thinking if we like all get a bunch of people to send a bunch of e-mails to the oil companies and stuff, maybe they would listen to us and lower the prices. I don't know it's just a thought, you know, it's worth a try don't you think? Anyways, I promise I'll check out that website and see what it's all about and stuff."
That is the most naive, uneducated opinion I have heard on this issue as of late. Hey while we're at it lets all get together and email the Israelies and the Palestinians and maybe if enough people email them they will stop killing eachother.
Take an economics course. The prices are not artifically high. You're talking supply and demand on a good with inelastic demand. (meaning with in a certain range no matter how much they change the price demand stays pretty much the same). If the prices were artifically high, no one would buy gas.
Excessive Profits do not figure into finding equlibrium for the gas prices.
And also, the letter is a FORM letter. Many people have gotten that exact same letter, and I guarantee he never received your gushy, childish, emotional starstruck response. He emails you about serious issues and you write back with a long sappy swooning email about how he's still young and sexy and how much you love his movies and using phrases like "I'll see what its all about and stuff" and "Cuz like they're so high and all"
And all? AND STUFF? Are you kidding me? Give me a break. I'm sure Robert Redford needs yet another gushy, poorly written letter from his millions of fans.
This thread is hilarious!

Kiki Gets Over
Congratulations to Kiki Couric for moving over to CBS, where she will occupy the celebrated anchor position once held by "the most trusted man in America." As the newest member of the CBS News team, she adds her name to a list that includes some of the greatest names in journalism history. Names like Kuralt, Mudd, Murrow and Sevareid.

Oh I don't know, I think that she will have exactly the same level of confidence from me as I had in Cronkite and Rather. After all, you cannot get any smaller than zero.

Sure you can Kyle. It's measured by those who turn and walk the other way when they see her in the street.
The selection of toxic twat kiki (how do you think her husband got that nut rot anyway?) is a reflection of our culture. She appeals to the oatmeal and prune crowd who can't afford cable and watch the networks. Do you know who sponsors the evening network news? It's all denture treatments, roid creams, and dick stiffening drugs.
Love the rhyming epigram. Tell me you don't wear a skull, EVER. Great lips though, did you get coll........... zzzzzzzzzzz

Page Two Of Dick Cheney's List
That list of items that Vice President Dick Cheney requires when he visits a hotel is kind of interesting. But not nearly as interesting as what was on page two of the list, which was not given to The Smoking Gun.
However, the crack team of investigators here at annika's journal has obtained the top secret second page of Dick Cheney's list, which can now be revealed exclusively for you.

So the guy likes to drink his booze and have sex? Seriously.... the left has been touting this free love shit for years. Now a good ol' Republican comes along wanting to experience what all this talk is about and he's crucified? Score one for tolerance assholes. Please... he 100% supports his daughter (who is a lesbian BTW), is pretty damn coherent for being a cardiac risk and STILL likes to party. Give the old man a break. Double standards get you nothing. Base your arguments in truly despicable or incompetent personality traits. The moment you second guess this guys desire for a shot of rum is the second you lose your entire platform.

Jane Fonda's 1972 trip to North Vietnam is haunting her again. The Georgia Senate on Thursday nearly unanimously defeated a resolution that would have honored the actress' charity work in the state.
. . .
"I can think of no living American who is less worthy of this honor," Republican Sen. John Douglas declared. "She is as guilty of treason as Benedict Arnold and Tokyo Rose."

I learned this recently:
After the Vietnam War was over, word leaked out that Pol Pot and North Vietnamese were butchering people in Cambodia and South Vietnam.
Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden spent mega-bucks, time and effort in a disinformation campaign saying that the news of mass executions was right-wing propaganda. They even worked to stop any humanitarian aid from going to those countries. They stated that Pol Pot and Ho Chi Min were wise and gentle leaders and the people in those countries were well looked after.
Their campaign worked. No country came to the aid of the people of Cambodia and South Vietnam.
Years later, it was confirmed that 1,500,000 people were executed in Cambodia and South Vietnam. Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden said nothing. No regrets, no apologies.
How does that woman sleep at nights?

Ambien?
She's vacuous. Lucky for her she was born to Henry Fonda and had a pretty good unit.
Unlucky for all of us, especially the Cambodians and Vietnamese who were slaughtered.

Growing up my father wouldn't let us kids watch any movies or shows that she was in. To this day he still won't watch anything himself that has her in it. Try and bring up her name and it's a sure way of getting him pissed off for the rest of the day. She really should have been tried for treason. Maybe they coluldn't prove it in the end but the effort to prosecute her should have been made none-the-less.

Hey Jake,
"No country came to the aid of the people of Cambodia and South Vietnam."
I think Jane came to the aid of the people of North Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos during their butchering
What's the problem?

I've always liked this post from a HogOnIce commenter known as Rurik.......
[The North Vietnamese began infiltrating their troops and weapons into South Vietnam in May 1959, using the specially organized "Unit 559". The Ho Chi Minh Trail ran through Laos and Cambodia to reach South Vietnam. For years, until The spring of 1970, the North Vietnamese used western Cambodia as a base to support their operations in South Vietnam. The Cambodian leader Prince Norodom Sihanouk was intimidated by the stronger communists and took a fence-sitting position of turning a blind eye to their presence, while also agreeing to permit US airstrikes in the Vietnamese controlled areas of his country - so long as they remained secret.
During 1970, the Cambodian army lost its patience and overthrew the weak Sihanouk and moved against the communists. At about the same time, the US Army sent troops into western Cambodia to seize the North Vietnamese sanctuaries.(See S.L.A. Marshal's "West To Cambodia"). This was a crucial blow which brought North Vietnamese offensive action in SVN almost to a standstill for two years. Everyone on the ground in SVN at the time noticed the change immediately (I was in SVN at that time, working for part of my tour with Vietnamese including a former VC who had changed sides). IMO the Cambodian incursion was one fo the best moves we made; had Johnson done it in 1965, the war probably would have been over by 1967.
After our incursion the Cambodians fought till 1975 when Congress cut off their ammunition and fuel supply, as they did with the Vietnamese. Sidney Schanberg and his friends actively helped the communists with their propaganda offensives, and proclaimed that the victory of communism would mean peace and prosperity for the region.
As for the Khmer Rouge, they were a particularly nasty Maoist cult who wanted to return society to a pristine state of equalitarian nature. This is why they shot people with glasses or other prostheses, and drove everyone out of the cities. (You might see a foreshadow of our own late environmentalist fanatics here). Blaming Nixon & Ford for the Cambodian Genocide is no different from blaming the Holocaust on Churchill and Roosevelt. If anyone is to be blamed, it would be all those Americans who opposed the US effort in Vietnam. But when people start to get an uneasy conscience, they create some bizarre rationalizations.]

At some point, people's youthful mistakes have to be passed over, and their adult life taken into perspective. She has admitted her error and apologized more than once, so those who have passed over many of George Bush's foibles ought to reconsider.

After reading the other comments, it seems many people get themselves spin-doctored on propaganda blogs. I'd like to see factual confirmation on the amount of money and disinformation that Jane and Tom provided and when.
"This is why they shot people with glasses or other prostheses, and drove everyone out of the cities. (You might see a foreshadow of our own late environmentalist fanatics here)"
This is the most bizarre statement I've seen all year. A typical environmentalist would say the best place for a person is in a city or in a rural area on a farm.

Hey Will... have one of your family/friends murdered for the sake of a lying Jane Fonda and ask yourself how forgiving you'd be. Guess what Hollywood? This may come as a shock but since most of your stupid asses never even attended a college course I think it's fair to say that your opinion and subsequent actions mean didly squat... the only thing that sucks is the 'star power' idiots like Fonda acquire. STFU... go to Iraq. Go to Afghanistan. I promise you will see differently than what the 6pm news puts out each night.
