Cats and dogs, living together!

A libertarian says that “Congress should supply the tax monies needed”; an atheist takes up arms in the War on Christmas… on the side of Christmas; WTO protestors chow down at McDonald’s before hitting the streets to stop globalization; the Christian Defense Coalition, Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.), and Matt Moore all agree that the Patriot Act should not be renewed.

Today’s dose of total anarchy brought to you by Reason’s Hit and Run, the world’s Best Group Blog.

Love/Hate

I love Cliff May for ripping into Katie Couric and Ramsey Clark.

I hate Fox for cancelling Kitchen Confidential after airing only four episodes.

The hate I feel for the 3.86 million people (a word I use very loosely) that watched a fucking rerun of 7th Heaven last Monday? It cannot be described with mere words. If the baby Jebus is a just God each viewing household shall feel the pain of a hundred hemorrhoids plus a dozen paper cuts for every member of the important 18-to-45 demographic. Amen.

Update: I also love craaaazy NFL plays. Michael Vick just went in motion as a receiver, the ball was snapped to Warrick Dunn then tossed to Vick, who launched it down the field to Roddy White. He looked to be covered but the Saints defenders, Josh Bullocks and Dwight Smith, got tangled up. White caught the ball and stumbled for ten yards… touchdown.

Jim B(i)enemann?

There’s currently an ad running on Denver’s CBS4 that features news anchor Jim Benemann and his son, a high school football player. The son’s jersey clearly says “Bienemann,” yet the caption (and Jim’s official bio) says “Benemann.” My theory: Jim’s legal name has the silent i, but in his professional life he drops it to avoid mispronunciations.

Anyone know for sure?
