What if Shakespeare had written Pulp Fiction?
ACT I SCENE 2. A road, morning. Enter a carriage, with JULES and VINCENT, murderers.
J: And know’st thou what the French name cottage pie?
V: Say they not cottage pie, in their own tongue?
J: But nay, their tongues, for speech and taste alike
Are strange to ours, with their own history:
Gaul knoweth not a cottage from a house.
V: What say they then, pray?
J: Hachis Parmentier.
V: Hachis Parmentier! What name they cream?
J: Cream is but cream, only they say le crème.
V: What do they name black pudding?
J: I know not;
I visited no inn it could be bought.

Jews on First has a follow-up on the on the New Jersey teacher who got caught on tape proselytizing in class and then lied about it. The student is being harassed by the town while the teacher has gotten no punishment, although the superintendent did call him a “wonderful teacher”. Apparently no action has been taken by the school district at all. The student is quoted as having told the superintendent, “I thought when I gave this information to you, it would be handled by an adult, I guess I was wrong.” For a refresher here is what the teacher got caught on tape teaching his History class:
[Jesus] did everything in his power to make sure that you could go to heaven, so much so that he took your sin on his own body, suffered your pains for you and he’s saying, “Please accept me, believe me.”
If you reject that, you belong in hell. The outcome is your prerogative. But the way I see it, God himself sent his only son to die for David Paszkiewicz on that cross … And if you reject that, then it really is to hell with you.
He also specifically singled out a Muslim student and told her she would be going to Hell. I’m thinking the LeClairs are about to win a lot of money in a lawsuit. I hate to see something like that done to a school, but sometimes an example needs to be made. This foolishness cannot be tolerated in our public schools.
Is it just me or has this been a very boring week so far? I guess it’s a holiday week. I’m kind of distracted by job hunting but it seems like nothing is going on.
The new Republican re-election strategy appears to be annoy as many people as possible while pretending to be Democrats. Talking Points Memo reports:
What we’re seeing is an apparent coordinated effort from the NRCC — the House GOP committee — to place calls that appear to be from the local Democratic candidate and then automatically call the same number back as many as seven or eight times each time the caller hang-ups. If the caller listens to the whole message it goes on to bash the Democratic candidate. But if the caller hangs up prematurely, the computer calls right back. Hang-ups are the achilles heal of robo-calls. So this seems to be an attempt to cover for that weakness by making those who hang up think the Democratic candidate is basically harassing them with phone calls. The GOP wins either way.
I was looking through the terms people have searched for that have brought them to my site, and I thought I’d share a few because a lot of these are crazy and some are funny that they would link to me:

I guess sex sells.
It’s not just for the military anymore. NBC is refusing to run an ad for a new documentary about the Dixie Chicks, Shut Up & Sing, because they cannot accept ads that are “disparaging to President Bush.” Which is very ironic when you consider that the documentary is about the fallout the Dixie Chicks went through for making disparaging comments about President Bush in 2003 including being blacklisted. Harvey Weinstein, whose company The Weinstein Company is distributing the film, had this to say:
“It’s a sad commentary about the level of fear in our society that a movie about a group of courageous entertainers who were blacklisted for exercising their right of free speech is now itself being blacklisted by corporate America,” Harvey Weinstein said in a statement. “The idea that anyone should be penalized for criticizing the president is profoundly un-American.”
Thinkprogress has the video of the commercial up.
WorldNetDaily has an article up by Kevin McCullough called Why liberals channel Lucifer. I think its crazy speaks for itself, but it is interesting that most of the article is spent condeming liberals for name calling. Mr. Pot, may I introduce Mr. Kettle.
