Afternoon Cup - 11/16/2006. (Nerds, Flags, & Transexuals)
Last night I drove by our local Best Buy in San Francisco and saw around 100 people, mostly teenage boys, hanging out in a line to get in, even though they were open. On further inspection I saw lawn chairs, sleeping bags, even a few tents. Star Wars premiere at Best Buy? Nope, apparently they are waiting in line.. FOR DAYS… to have a first crack at either the new Nintendo Wii or Sony Playstation 3. Apparently this is happening nationwide.
Over in Pahrump Nevada, the fascist town board has voted 3-2 to outlaw any flags other than the United States flag from flying in their town. This is a brazen attack on the First Amendment, and an obvious racist rebuttal to the Mexican flags that were flying at the immigration rallies a few months ago. It appears that the town leaders of Pahrump have forgotten what makes America, America. Perhaps they can vote on a new proclamation making Pahrump the most Un-American town in the United States. Thankfully, we still have these quant little institutions like the “Surpeme Court” and the “United State Constitution.” Watch for this law to be eventually retired to the jingostic crap law graveyard.
Finally… I always suspected there was something odd about Anne Coulter. I could never quite figure it out, but there was something always a little… off? Well now the truth finally comes out.

The Ann Coulter “story” is old, not terribly funny, not real news, and I’d go so far as to say mildly insulting to those who are *actually* transgendered.
Yawn.
