Synaptic Misfires

Not a good week for the Right

Did you hear about Cpl. Matt Sanchez?

Cpl. Sanchez became a hero to the radical fringe recently when he claimed he'd been called a "baby killer" by liberals on the Columbia University campus, supposedly because he was wearing his US Marines uniform.  There is apparently no evidence anything of the sort happened — and yet CPAC awarded Sanchez the Jeanne Kirpatrick Academic Freedom Award this year.

Oops! In addition to the questionable veracity of his story, turns out Sanchez may be better known as Rod Majors, gay porn actor.  Majors appeared in at least twelve explicit gay porn flicks.  Now he's a conservative darling, appearing with Billo, Hannity, Man Coulter, and others.

Having sex for money in a movie makes you a whore.

Spouting lies to appease a group and receive remuneration (financial or otherwise) makes you a whore.

But appearing in photos with Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Ann Coulter?  That's Haz-Mat worthy!

They let this guy drive??!!???

CHANDLER, Ariz. (AP) - A man who started a small fire while cooking methamphetamine drove to a Wal-Mart to buy a fire extinguisher when he couldn't put out the flames, sheriff's deputies said.
Jonathan Zaletel, 19, was greeted by Maricopa County deputies when he returned to his condominium late Tuesday, Lt. Paul Chagolla said.
The flames had been extinguished by a sprinkler system, and arriving firefighters found a small meth lab in the closet. A toaster oven being used to cook the drug had caught fire, Chagolla said, and Zalatel had tried putting it out using water and window cleaner before deciding to go buy the fire extinguisher.
Zalatel was booked on suspicion of manufacturing dangerous drugs, possession of chemicals and equipment to manufacture dangerous drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana and criminal damage.

From todays Inbox:

A man took his wife to the rodeo and one of their first stops was the Breeding bull exhibit. They went up to the first pen and there was a Sign attached that said, "This bull mated 52 times last year." The wife playfully nudged her husband in the ribs and said, "See ... He mated 52 times last year? ....that's once-a-week."

They walked to the second pen which had a sign attached that said, "This bull mated 125 times last year." The wife gave her husband a healthy jab and said, "That's more than twice a week! You could learn a lot from him."

They walked to the third Pen and it had a sign attached that said, in capital letters, "THIS BULL MATED 365 TIMES LAST YEAR." The wife, so excited that her elbow nearly broke her husband's ribs, said "That's once a DAY. You could REALLY learn something from this one!"

The husband looked at her and said, "Go over and ask him if it was with the same cow."
