Shorter Clownhall
But wait, they’re doing their own ‘shorters’ now! Here are some capsule descriptions from the columnist page. Should we even edit them? Nah.

Oh, no! Yet another writer has been swept up in a “pay-for-play” scandal, and again, a right-of-center one. “A Columnist Paid by Monsanto,” declared the headline of a Business Week “news analysis.”Musings, random and otherwise

Before we allow ourselves to be bamboozled by our political leaders, we might do our own analysis to determine whether the problem is money in politics or something more fundamental.When all else fails, make like a fool

Beginning with the Revolutionary War when British agents and sympathizers attempted to derail independence, there have been people who have tried to infiltrate the United States for the purpose of undermining and destroying it.

Damn. That takes almost all the fun out of it.

Shorter Clownhall: **drool**
Any time another nation achieves nuclear capability, the world gets more dangerous. That’s especially true when the nation is run by a religious zealot.
He’s talking about the U.S., right?
This whole discussion of Iran’s nuclear program is all very well, but I want to know more about hot Marie-on-Ben action.
Amazing – it’s a near-perfect core sample of wingnut idiocy. The comedy stands on its own.
What would make it perfect would be a Pastor Swank diatribe about “homo nups.” Any chance he’ll get a guest column?
Not that I would suggest anyone go around submitting Pastor Swank’s columns for him, but for a Man of the Cloth, he shows very little ambition.
How is he going to become the hottest geriatric conservative writer on the internets without columns on Renew America, Townhall, Human Events Online and NAMBLA Magazine?
Being incoherent is no excuse!
I like how Fumento says he was immediately fired by Scripps Howard when he was confronted with hiding his Monsanto money, but his byline still reads, “a science and health columnist for Scripps Howard News Service.” He also says it should have counted for something that he was writing his columns for free, as if he hadn’t gotten $60,000 from Monsanto to disseminate propaganda.
Not too long ago in our frontier days, snake oil salesmen roamed the land claiming cures for “everything that ails you.”
Now, they just advertise on Limbaugh’s show.

Joint-Ritis!
Below the minimum wage
by Alan Reynolds – Jan 19, 2006
Whenever the minimum wage has been increased, the most obvious result was an increase in the number earning less than the minimum.
What a great point, Alan! I think your brilliant insight should be applied to all the economic problems we suffer. Hey, I know: if change the definintion of poverty for a family of 4 to less than $1000 a year, why, we’ll nearly eliminate poverty in one fell swoop! Hooray!
So you don’t care how many millions were pushed into sub-minimum wage jobs in 1997? That means mostly cash, no benefits and no “overtime,” for example. Picking fruit, delivering newspapers, mowing lawns . . .
It was 3 percent of the wage-earning population after the minimum wage went up, compared with about 1 percent before And you just don’t care. Very funny.
