You Ain't Wrong (Week Ending 9 April 2006)

It's a Sundayful of Aintwrongness.

John Hinderaker at Powerline, You Ain't Wrong, for exhorting your readership to get all Army of David on the protests called for April 10th. I'm looking forward to the video provided by the folks that get out there, if I had a video camera, I'd be one of them.

Austin Bay, You Ain't Wrong, for pointing out the pointy-headedness of the folks who are trying to enflame the current Plamegate non-revelations. The President acted within his discretion, that few are willing to dispute, the charges of hypocrisy are equally specious in my view.

Todd Zywicki posting at Volokh Conspiracy, You Ain't Wrong, for posting contracts limericks, 'nuff said.

Pat Santy aka 'Dr Sanity', You Ain't Wrong, for redoing the lyrics to Joni Mitchell's Circle Game to poke fun at the hysterical nature of Seymour Hersh's New Yorker article regarding possible military options being considered against the crazies in charge of Iran.

Victoria, You Ain't Wrong, for enjoying both being pampered by professionals, and sex (and not mixing the two).

Mary Katharine Ham, You Ain't Wrong, for compiling a bunch of quotes from various politicians defending their sophistry in support of restricting political speech in the guise of '527' reform. The McCain-Feingold bill that birthed this mess, is reason enough for both Republicans and Democrats to reject the presidential aspirations of both those men.

Phil Mickelson, You Ain't Wrong, for winning the Masters for the second time in three years, congratulations, Lefty.

Mark Kilmer at Redstate.com, You Ain't Wrong, for your continuing hard work of watching all the Sunday morning political talk shows so that we don't have to. The snark you direct at Sen. Kerry is especially appropriate and biting, good show, fellow, good show.

The People of the United States of America, Y'all Weren't Wrong, for staying away in droves from that excressence entitled Basic Instinct 2. Once again good taste triumphs over marketing.

That's enough aintwrongness for the week. As mentioned before, Senator Kerry was being especially Senator Kerry like this week, so for the amazingly Kerry-like OpEd he wrote this week, one nominee for the opposite of Aintwrongness for this week shall be Kerryness. (or alternately, Lurchness)

Alternately, Seymour Hersh expressed himself in all his Hershian sound and fury (signifying absolutely nothing). Not only has he peddled this particular story before (exhibit A, CNN.com from January 15, 2005), but when that fell flat with a thud he's decided to amp up the hysteria by whipping up anti-nuke hysteria by painting a picture of mushroom cloudiness to accompany the latest version of his usual anti-Bush line, so for his efforts this week (ironically under the heading FACT, despite being a collection of speculation and anonymously sourced sour grapiness), Seymour Hersh has obtained antiaintwrongness status, therefore antiaintwrongness=Hershness.

(I could retire the term, forever and always antiaintwrongness=Hershness, but to be fair to all the other folks who aspire to the title, I will impose a 4 week minimum prohibition on repeat antiaintwrongness for any deserving entity, no matter how some may tempt me to use them week after week)

(woohoo!! got it done on a Sundy, and before the Simpsons, again woohoo!!)

And you left out that Bill Ain't Wrong for hating on the worst television show in the history of the Universe.

I've decided to remain agnostic regarding the anti-Family Guy stuff that Bill is pushing at his site.

Failure to hate Family Guy is equivalent to wanting to marry Family Guy. Your lack of action has been noted and reported to the proper authorities.

Reeducation camp will consist of watching nothing but Samurai Jack and Duckman.
