On Against Our War in Libya
Bush's Iraq 2003 (and 2004,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12...): A stupid fucking idea for a war with zero legitimate justification which was horribly mismanaged in the worst way and has (so far) cost thousands of American lives, tens of thousands of Iraqi lives, trillions in direct and indirect costs, squandered our reputation in the world, stretched our military and economy to the breaking point, multiplied our enemies and distracted from any legitimate anti-terrorism or national security efforts.
Obama's Libya 2011: A few days of firing missiles and a some sorties flown as part of a limited and UN approved mission to help stop the immediate slaughter of innocent people by an unhinged maniac.

Agree. Successful non-violent regime change against a military dictatorship backed by the most powerful country in the whole world is just a walk in the park.

On A Non-Reader's Guide to Sarah Palin's "America by Heart"
Indeed, there are plenty of better reasons to mock Mormons.
Maybe next time Sarah Palin writes a book designed to not so subtly attack her biggest primary opponent as a weirdo who "Real Americans" can't trust, she will bring up some of those reasons.
And then maybe Mr. Carr will paraphrase her inane arguments from that book and have them mistaken for his own arguments.

On It Has Always Been Football Season
From my experience there is no sport which changes so much from watching in person to watching it on TV as golf. In person you see so little of whats going on at any given time, and you're forced to make a choice between camping out and watching groups pass a specific spot, or following a group and missing everyone else. There are no replays or different angles like you would get from a jumbo tron at a stadium, just the occasional leader board which is updated at intervals.
TV really is a blessing for those who watch golf, mostly because you can actually see the tournament develop and catch all the crucial shots, and the networks are actually pretty good at tracking shots and getting yardages.

On Everyone Probably Owes Paris Hilton An Apology
The problem with Paris wasn't Paris, it was the amount of attention the media paid to Paris.
Yes, pity poor Paris for all the attention she received. If only the media had honored her pleas to be left alone, maybe she would have had more time to focus on her TV shows. And movie career. And music career. And making and releasing "shocking" sex tapes. Stupid media, lavishing attention on someone who clearly wanted no part of the limelight.

On You Still Won't Like The Three Stooges
I swear in one of the Lethal Weapon movies Mel Gibson did some Three Stooges schtick, wiping his face with his hands repeatedly in a downward motion before doing some violence on somebody.
That was in the controversial alternate ending to Gibson's remake of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington".
"All in favor... say 'die'!"
