Big Loser Democrats in Self-Destruct Mode CCCXXX Slim-Fast Sheds Whoopi Goldberg After Bush Riff. + + + + + Comedian Whoopi Goldberg will no longer appear in ads for diet aid maker Slim-Fast following her lewd riff on President Bush's name at a fund-raiser last week, the company said on Wednesday. Florida-based Slim-Fast said it was "disappointed" in Goldberg's remarks at last Thursday's $7.5 million star-studded fund-raiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York. "Ads featuring Ms. Goldberg will no longer be on the air," Slim-Fast General Manager Terry Olson said in a statement, adding that the company regrets that Goldberg's remarks offended some customers. Republicans have expressed outrage over the fund-raiser for presumptive Democratic nominee John F. Kerry and his vice presidential running mate, John Edwards, in which entertainers lined up to skewer the president. The New York Post said of Goldberg's appearance at the event: "Waving a bottle of wine, she fired off a stream of vulgar sexual wordplays on Bush's name in a riff about female genitalia." A spokesperson for Goldberg declined immediate comment. Slim-Fast is a unit of Anglo-Dutch food-to-detergent group Unilever Plc. + + + + +

"Terror in the Skies, Again?" RTWT here (multi-page) or here (one page). I have occasionally expressed my opinion that terrorists won't be trying to use airplanes anymore in the USA: been there, done that. Looks like I may have been wrong. See also Terror in the Skies, Again? and Terror in the Skies (continued) and Terror in the Skies III at Michelle Malkin's weblog. P.S. And see also Terror in the Skies Skeptics Edition.

"Ever Wonder Why?" Reflections at Independence Day by Thomas Sowell. Thanks to Margaret for calling our attention to this three-part series at TownHall. First, July 1, 2004: .... There is a culture war going on within the United States and in fact, within Western civilization as a whole which may ultimately have as much to do with our survival, or failure to survive, as the war on terrorism. There are all sorts of financial, ideological, and psychic rewards for undermining American society and its values. Unless some of us realize the existence of this culture war, and the high stakes in it, we can lose what cost those Americans before us so much to win and preserve. Second, July 2, 2004: .... What is wrong with America, in the eyes of the intelligentsia? The same things that are right with America in the eyes of others. If one word rings out, and echoes around the world, when America is mentioned, that word is Freedom. But what does freedom mean? It means that hundreds of millions of ordinary human beings live their lives as they see fit regardless of what their betters think. That is fine, unless you see yourself as one of their betters, as so many intellectuals do.... Last, July 6, 2004: .... Most of the people who come here, legally or illegally, undoubtedly do so just to better themselves, as immigrants have done for centuries. But people who crossed an ocean to get here came here to become Americans, not to remain foreigners, much less to become America haters. The difference today is that organized activists and a multicultural ideology that has become dogma among educators and the media combine to keep foreigners foreign in language, culture and allegiance....

Notre Dame Magazine Features Homosexuality A reader writes: My husband's alma mater, Notre Dame, has had a switch in tone in recent issues of its quarterly publication. The most egregious is the latest issue, Summer 2004, with the cover title, "The Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name." Four articles were included. One by a graduate whose son is gay, one by a non-Catholic recent graduate who is a female bi-sexual, one by a member of Courage who speaks on chastity to homosexuals, and one by a graduate who is in a committed relationship with two adopted sons. There is a brief piece about the university's attempt to make the campus welcoming to gay people (allowing an unofficial Gay-Straight Alliance group to issue orange t-shirts to students that say, "Gay? Fine by me."). As a sop to Catholic moral teaching, there was "What the Church Has to Say." Those who don't see that part of the church is our enemy are not paying attention. See also these.
