The Short List — Thurs., May 1
May 1st, 2008 by Joe Bardi in Presidential Politics, The Morning Papers
- Obama takes a beating, still manages to pick up another Superdelegate.
- Hillary’s never had plastic surgery or heard of Red Bull, but she does have a thing for Honest Abe. Oh, and “testicular fortitude.”
- The experts agree: The McCain/Clinton gas tax holiday is a crap idea.
- The Bush Administration and the telecoms conspired to hide their illegal activities. Can’t we just give these nice Americans immunity already?
- Another Bay area teacher has been arrested after an inappropriate romantic relationship with a student. This time, however, the perp is male. Let’s execute him!
- Troxler gets robbed!
- First take: “Unlike the irreducible element that is its namesake, Iron Man the movie is an alloy, a combination of several different and disconnected components that don’t manage to unite to make a coherent whole.”
- A $199 iPhone? Don’t count your chickens just yet.

Call me a sleaze bag, but my first reaction to the story about the Gibbs High teacher was this:
The girl complained to school administrators about the teacher having inappropriate relationships with other female students? Or did she really complain that she wasn’t being asked out by the teacher? I’m leaning toward the latter.
Nice one line review about “Iron Man.” This is my favorite one paragraph summation of a movie. It was in USA Today and was about Spike Lee’s “She Hate Me.”
“Trying to find common threads in corporate fraud, a veritable lesbian army, insemination as cottage industry, one Mob godfather, Watergate remembrances and a swipe or two at George W. Bush, this 140-minute I-don’t-know-what-it-is unravels like a ball of yarn after a bout with a tiger on Colombian catnip. Lee exhausts me.”

That movie review quote has to be the most complicated paragraph ever run in the USA Today. Didn’t they have a graphic they could use to detail all the plot points?
You may be right about the teacher, but this guy needs some help regardless. I would not call you a sleeze bag, however. “Male chauvinist” will do fine.

Hi chauvinists!
Joe, I like your “kid fuckers” tag.
And I bet Hillary still drinks Jolt.

Someone actually reads the tags! Woo hoo!
I bet Hillary has a private doc who gives her methamphetamine. Hey, it worked for JFK…
