Is it Friday yet?
Some miscellany:
- "Political pornography" is not a new concept, but if you're unfamiliar with the phrase, think Farenheit 911: liberals loved the imagery, and it excited them, but there wasn't much logic, or much of a storyline -- classic political porn. Today the BBC reports some scientists are wary of "climate porn" that uses "cataclysmic imagery" in reporting "global warming" stories. Glad to see someone's speaking out. (Via the NY Sun's blog, "It shines for all," which, incidentally, I'm adding to the CJ blogroll.)
- Take a look at Gene Lalor's review of Ann Coulter's book, "Godless: The Church of Liberalism." He makes the case that conservatives should appreciate Coulter as a right-wing flame-thrower who's willing to confront the sheer stupidity of the Angry Left. (We want her on that wall; we need her on that wall.)
- Speaking of sheer stupidity, the 9/11 conspiracy peddlers "Loose Change" are exposed over at Hot Air. These videos are a bit long, but must-sees.

Another fine column from Dr. Lalor. One thing I will add, and which just about every reviewer neglects to mention, is that Coulter's style is to be intentionally outrageous. She uses humor, satire, irony, and truckloads of hyperbole to both amuse the reader and make her point. Her targets on the left apparently are incapable of seeing the humor she skilfully intertwines into her writing.
