ANN COULTER'S REVENGE

We know how the voters voted, and we assume that the one-half or so of those eligible to vote who actually voted represent with reasonable accuracy the remainder who did not. That's a reasonable assumption. Yes, we've got the numbers. What we don't know is what motivated the voters to vote as they did, that is, we are ignorant of the precipitating causes of the actions we can see and count.

Ignorance is no reason to avoid the responsibility of pontificating about the election. The NYTimes, the Gray Lady of West 43rd Street, the Newspaper of Record, evidently decided that ignorance ought not to stand in the way of its news coverage. Its six-column banner headline trumpets:

G.O.P. RETAKES CONTROL OF THE SENATE IN A SHOW OF RESIDENTIAL INFLUENCE...

Ain't that great! The Times knows. It was presidential influence that done the deed.

Of course the truth of this causation theory cannot be proved empirically, and it's meaningless anyway. Lotta Democrats won, too. Why did presidential influence not wield a mighty arm and strike down Frank Lautenberg as it did Walter Mondale? Why did it succeed in Missouri and fail in Arkansas? All the headline says is, the President's party won. Which we all knew as soon as the numbers were in. But why should the Times be bothered by tautologies?the president's party won because the President's party won. Why not some alternative headlines like these?

G.O.P. RETAKES CONTROL OF THE SENATE IN A SHOW OF REJECTION OF STALE LEFTIST IDEAS ... or

CONSERVATIVE BLOGGERS INVIGORATE ELECTORATE; G.O.P. RETAKES CONTROL OF THE SENATE or

DEMS IN DISARRAY, LACK COHERENT IDEAS; G.O.P. RETAKES CONTROL OF THE SENATE or

VOTERS REJECT BARBRA STREISAND AND APPEASEMENT OF TYRANTS; G.O.P. RETAKES CONTROL OF THE SENATE.

MCAULIFFE AND DEMS INFECTED BY HUBRIS; G.O.P. RETAKES CONTROL OF THE SENATE.

ANN COULTER'S REVENGE: G.O.P. RETAKES CONTROL OF THE SENATE.

See how easy it is. A gold bingo and Honorable Mention in The Conning Tower to the best headlines submitted to www.atrentino.com before midnight, ET, Monday, November 11.

Dynafoot, preserve your memories, oal.

A gentleman (which I yam) doesn't go around flashing photos or himself to whet the passions of the crowd.

[Davis]

Right, all the socialists now live in California...

[sauropod]

Chicken!

And that's "Lizard Foot."

HRP

[Bigg Red]

Uh, pods, she thought you were a hormonally challenged woman.

[Bigg Red]

...the stunned looks on the faces of all the info-babes and bubala's.

And don't forget the look on Little Tommy Daschole's face the next morning. Priceless.

[sauropod]

Yeah. Too Much hormone! LOL

Mae West

[Bigg Red]

she didn;t mind that i was in a dress.

nutmeg, I told 'pod that Ann thought he was a hormonally challenged woman. I know I did.

[Bigg Red]

How do you explain the mustache, Mae?

[Teacher317]

How do you spell L-A-M-E?

I spell it D-A-S-C-H-L-E...

or maybe J-E-F-F-O-R-D-S

G-E-P-H-A-R-T?

M-C-A-U-L-I-F-F-E?

and let us never stop reveling in the fact that B-I-L-L-C-L-I-N-T-O-N is becoming more irrelevant every day.

[Bigg Red]

A gentleman (which I yam) doesn't go around flashing photos or himself...

Please, guys, if this competition continues between you two, stick to the flashing of photos only.

[hrhdave]

I agree with you, pal--more decorum in the forum. We are skirting with danger, the 'pod and I.

Do not skate where the ice is thin, the ice will breakk and you'll fall right in, and end up with icicles under your chin.

Sage advice for sage folk. Pink pills for pale people.

[hrhdave]

Hey, pal, I applaud your use of the term "smugocity."

What we now need is a smugocity index, a way to measure scientifically the smugocity factor.

On a scale of 1 to 10, who is tops, do you think?

[Slyfox]

Hmmm...this will require some thought. I know that at or near the top should be the most obvious one, Peter Jennings. I know that writers for major newspapers need to be up there a ways, also. Let's see, the proverbial "rolling of the eyes in utter disgust at the very mention of a conservative truth", ought to be a heavy factor in any analysis.

You have given me something to ponder over Thanksgiving weekend. Thank you. I'll be in touch.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

33 posts so far on a Coulter thread, and you aren't here yet. Are you sick?

[FreedomFarmer]

You must not have got the latest scorecard...
he's now best buds with mojo and the ConAF crowd, and AntRating the Snow threads on LP.

[Jeff Gordon]

Yawn. Just an average conservative babe. FreeRepublic is full of them.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

I don't bother with those places, they don't interest me, so no, I didn't know that. Thanks.

TLB, come back from the DarkSide!

[FreedomFarmer]

Woops! My bad... He just got banned at LP.
He'll be back.

[TLBSHOW]

Here I am

on a another note


Turn out the lights, the party's over:

3) On a (somewhat) unrelated note (insofar as he did participate in the LP assault), TLBSHOW has been banned from LP. TLBSHOW, the main reason for this is you simply don't make any sense at all here. None. Nada. Zip. Zilch.
