Ann Coulter Gets Pwned by Whoopi Goldberg


So, Ann Coulter still exists, and for some reason she has this bizarre notion that speaking is a good idea. She's even barfed up written a new book, Mugged, in which she spends more time spewing inaccurate facts and pointing fingers in the endless(ly stupid) war between "liberals" and "conservatives." If you want an idea of the book's premise, Coulter argues that civil rights "only belong to blacks" because the U.S. "has a legacy of slavery."

As you can probably imagine, it only took a few sentences to spark the ire of Whoopi Goldberg when she visited "The View" on Thursday. I had to applaud Whoopi when she asked Coulter, point-blank, what she knew about "being black." Coulter proceeds to get flustered and the lulz ensue.

Coulter has certainly made some bat-shit crazy interesting statements, lately. During a round table discussion on "This Week", she stated that civil rights are for blacks - not gays, Latinos, or women. So, what she's trying to say is that suffering and injustice are prerequisites for civil rights; something must be owed to one group by another. Even if we run with her bizarre definition of civil rights, it would seem that Coulter has a flimsy understanding of American history (in which immigrants have suffered various injustices) and almost no understanding of the daily struggles faced by and injustices inflicted upon other minority groups.

Seriously, can someone just advise this woman that speaking is not a good activity for her?

EDIT: I forgot to mention something else. It's interesting that Coulter believes Republicans to be more sympathetic towards "blacks." Because Republicans always treat them with respect.

Yep, nothing bad happened at the 2012 RNC.

Nothing at all.

Havoc T. Wolf Does Gangnam Style


Havoc T. Wolf happens to be the mascot for my alma mater, Loyola University New Orleans. Glad to see that the big, bad wolf has a sense of humor!

Also, Loyola > Tulane. Just sayin'.

Gangnam Style


So. This. This is apparently a thing, now.

All I can say is, I'd love to bust out with this at the local lesbian bar.

An Update on Northstar

Happily, Northstar appears to be recovering. Although Northstar had developed some infection, the doctors have been able to keep it under control. Northstar is now receiving specialized care at The Ohio State University. Thanks to a website created by Jess Lybrook, founder of the Erie Animal Network, strangers from around the world have been able to donate money towards Northstar's care. Approximately $10,000 has been gathered so far. If you were curious, transportation for Northstar's journey to The Ohio State University was also donated by Tim Girtin, a trainer at Presque Isle Downs & Casino in Erie, Pa.

Incredibly, Northstar seems to bear no ill will towards humans. In fact, his spirits seem to remain high despite the pain that he must be enduring.

If you would like to help Northstar, you can visit www.helpnorthstar.com. You can also donate to the "Donations for Northstar" account at any PNC Bank branch. Finally, if you have any information about this case, please contact the Pennsylvania State Police at (814) 663-2043 or toll-free at (800) 922-1975.

Apologies for the lack of a picture to accompany this post. However, if you'd like to see a video of a vet checking up on Northstar, you can do so here (WICU12 video).

Lindsay Lohan: Remember When...?


Remember, back in the day, when Lindsay Lohan wasn't crazy?

Yeah, I know, it's hard to remember that far back.

She showed so much promise as a young Disney star. Hell, I really enjoyed the remake of The Parent Trap. This girl seemingly had it all, despite her family's chaotic history. So why is she just throwing it all away these days?

Her latest escapade involves a hit-and-run in New York City. Ironically, this happened just days after Lohan tweeted her opinion of the Amanda Bynes situation. Karma, maybe?

It just bugs me to see these "stars" behaving badly. You know, some people spend their lives working hard for everything they have. They aren't paid millions for each job, either. If you're fortunate enough to be set for life, financially, then you ought to show a bit more class and behave more responsibly.

Some people's children...
