Worst duet ever! (Hint: “Miami Vice” meets “Yentl”) I dare you to endure the entirety of this video.
Speaking of the “she in yeshiva” …
Fictional — sorta — character Maurice Willis discussing his tolerance troupe, The Equality Players: “Equality’s an acronym, you know. It stands for: Everyone Qualifies Under Affirmative Lifestyles Independent of Tyranny … Yentl!”
So does anyone really care that a talentless redneck is divorcing her even less talented boy toy? Never mind, I know the answer to that one, even though this break-up doesn’t even rise to the level of Elizabeth Taylor divorcing that construction worker. I vow never to mention it again, though I warn you, I’ve been known to lie.

Hard to get excited about voting in Georgia, at least where I live, as there are no closely contested races. But here’s a sampling of one man’s ballot:
GOVERNOR: Garrett Michael Hayes (my first, and probably not last, Libertarian vote — Sonny Perdue is a borderline crook, and Mark Taylor is, well, Mark Taylor);
LT. GOVERNOR: Jim Martin (we need more do-gooder nerds in office; what we’ll get is another slick Republican who’s BFF with developers);
SECRETARY OF STATE: Karen Handel (seems to be a sensible Republican who might end up being Georgia’s first female governor);
SECRETARY OF EDUCATION: Denise Majette (soon to become the black Democratic female version of GOP gadfly Guy Milner, minus his millions; regardless, I haven’t forgotten incumbent Kathy Cox’s wordplay with evolution, er, “biological changes over time”);
ATTORNEY GENERAL: Thurbert Baker (his opponent has never prosecuted a case);
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS: Voted in favor of restricting eminent domain and against the ridiculous hunting and fishing initiative — as if the latter needs state protection.
We have a new winner for best spontaneous reaction — ever — at an awards show.

Another new low in this meanest of campaign seasons, compliments of the New York State Republican Party (notice the brown hand over the white woman’s mouth):
From The Onion:
Impressive New Honda Inspires John Mellencamp To Write Song About Japan
The high quality and enduring value of the new 2007 Honda Accord has inspired roots-rock veteran John Mellencamp to write a stirring hymn about the working-class nation of Japan. “Oh, you noble land of the rising sun/Where discipline and duty are still number one,” Mellencamp sings in the video for “Buddha On The Highway,” in which he is seen playing his guitar on the hood of a bright orange Accord parked in a terraced rice paddy.
Billy Squier could use the publicity, and he’s an even more obvious poofer than Lance Bass. Or have you forgotten 1984′s “Rock Me Tonite?”
“Borat” savages Jews, homosexuals, New Yorkers, celebrities … but how dare he poke fun at Middle America!
Some prudish conservative chick named Debbie Schlussel writes how offended she was by Sacha Baron Cohen’s
“mean-spirited attack on America … Red State America.”
She complains about one scene in which the Kazakhstani pseudojournalist visits a rodeo, where the fans are depicted as “anti-Muslim racists, bigots, and dummies.” Well, that’s because some of them were in fact anti-Muslim racists, bigots and dummies. I don’t want to give anything away, but the camera doesn’t lie, and Cohen doesn’t put words in people’s mouths.
Sure, it’s annoying when the rest of the world looks down their nose at America, but I contend more Americans should look down their nose at each other. In case you haven’t noticed, our culture isn’t exactly evolving (and this has nothing to do with politics).
Oh, I forgot, we should never make fun of blessed America and its most righteous inhabitants, those noble red staters. Who knew the Heartland was so senstive?
Seriously. In Georgia there’s no law against keeping a loaded gun safely out of a child’s reach. It doesn’t have to be locked up, or even hidden. Yet one more thing the rest of the nation must envy about the Peach State:
A 5-year-old Cherokee County girl died Sunday afternoon a few hours after being shot in the head by her 3-year-old brother.
Morgan King was pronounced dead after being airlifted to Children’s Hospital of Atlanta, said Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office Cpl. Nicole Ebbeskotte. Morgan had been shot around 2 p.m. after her brother found the gun in his parents’ bedroom. …
Ebbeskotte said it was unlikely any criminal charges would be filed in the case. “Nothing in Georgia law says a gun has to be in a locked area and this was not just left out in plain view,” she said.
I’m not going to hold the NRA responsible for Morgan King’s death, but rest assured the gun lobby would do everything in its power to block sensible legislation that might’ve made her parents think twice about keeping a loaded weapon under their mattress.
