Fey foe dead on the 4th of July...From NYT:
Jesse Helms, the former North Carolina Senator whose courtly manner and mossy drawl barely masked a hard-edged conservatism that opposed civil rights, gay rights, foreign aid and modern art, died early Friday. He was 86.
The White House said that "America lost a great public servant and a true patriot today." Among the inimitable comments delivered by this great public servant:
That the University of North Carolina should be renamed "the University of Negroes and Communists;"
That black civil rights activists are really "communists and sex perverts;" and
That gayz are "weak, morally sick wretches."
I'll leave you with the true patriot's classic "Hands" ad from his racist 1990 campaign.
I always wondered why Russians were so susceptible to Putin's strong-arm brand of charisma, and thanks to this video--which may be direct-from-the-Kremlin pro-Putin PR--I now know: It's cuz they're a bunch of stupid, mercenary whores!

Our hero Amanda Lorber, star of MTV's surprisingly almost-completely-awesome The Paper has written an open letter taking on one of her critics: Alexandria Symonds, who penned this outrageous micharacterization of Lorbie for Columbia University's "The Eye."
Here's the highlight:
OMG, how I love that "(national television)" bit. The rest can be found here.I'm not saying I don't have enemies, obviously I do. You seem to be one of them, but as I write now, I'm starting to see where it's coming from. It's a different kind of jealousy. The type spewed from young women who resent teenage girls that get their names out there. You,
Ms. Symonds, are obviously a fundamentally bitter woman. You degrade the work ethic and academic values of a 17-year-old in order to cure your self-consciousness and upset at perhaps never being recognized for your work when you're through with "The Specator." In fact, if my staff hadn't been excitedly 'googling' every article written about our (national television) show, I would never had come across your disgusting piece.You should be ashamed, sincerely (and I do mean that), Amanda Lorber
postscript: I might have been "too young to subject" myself to doing this television show, but apparently, I'm not too young to be disparaged and intensely criticized by you.
Viva Harri Anne!
The trailer for Troma Pictures' Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead is so raunchy and so violent I had to hide it after the button pressy thingy.Before clicking ahead, please note the resemblance between the Zombie Chicken Man above and FeyFriends' own Bmad.
