Propeller Week In Review: October 19, 2007 »
Posted By JamesMarcus 12 months ago in NewsAfter bagging both an Oscar and an Emmy, Al Gore hit the trifecta with the Nobel Prize--and our membership responded in spades. Other big stories concerned Rush Limbaugh, a freaky-looking worm with tentacles, a staph epidemic, and the mugging of Randi Rhodes (or did she just stub her toe?).

joeeddie - That is a gratuitous and stupid comment. If he did not "bag an intern," then he did not and he is innocent. You imply that Gore is promiscuous but failed to "bag an intern." No wishing on your part that Gore is promiscuous and about to be caught will make it true.
I can make the claim "Bush bags Iraq, but not Larry Craig."
Oh, I see in a later post you were just having fun. Well, I'm just having fun fantasizing about Craig with Bush.

It's fun to read these "Week in Review" pieces, James, and I'm flattered one of my submissions made it in.
But maybe I should have posted a different summary in the "Gore Derangement Syndrome" article--it was a New York Times op-ed by Paul Krugman arguing *against* those like Iain Murray at the National Review who link Gore with Osama because they both mention climate change...

Rush is a hypocryte!
1) He is a pill popping drug addict, like all those he has mocked in the past.
2) A REAL CONSERVATIVE opposes abortion AND sending our soldiers and marines to their death in a civil war in Iraq.
3) A REAL CONSERVATIVE would make Iraq pay for its own re-building, not the US taxpayers....ONE TRILLION DOLLARS of taxpayer dollars.
4) A REAL CONSERVATIVE would not support Ann COulter in her disgraceful trampy outfits. What kind of Christian Conservative dresses like a street walker???

ultraconservative - I applaud you. It is not often that I agree with and praise a conservative opinion. I have said in the past that there should never be a monopoly of ideas or an accumulation of absolute power for either Republicans or Democrats, conservatives or liberal. Both schools of ideas and philosophies have worthy contributions to our country. I hope to see more of your posts to read your ideas.

Another week of distractive trivia in which Marcus chooses to "highlight" the trivia in a "summary". Pathetic at a time when serfdom is growing in the US.
Priests Protesting Torture Jailed
... Louis Vitale, 75, a Franciscan priest, and Steve Kelly, 58, a Jesuit priest, were each sentenced to five months in federal prison for attempting to deliver a letter opposing the teaching of torture at Fort Huachuca in Arizona. Both priests were taken directly into jail from the courtroom after sentencing...

I miss several stories during the course of the week due to a conflict of interest (work). Thank you Mr. Marcus for the informative recap. I like your writing style and hope you keep on with the review.
