Tuesday digest

- A website that I've come to enjoy is called "I Don't Like You In That Way". What I like about it is that it takes celebrities down a few notches (although it's not like the one pictured above has much farther to fall).

It's the perfect antidote to a culture where the news is often confused with Entertainment Tonight.

- The epitome of an unhinged liberal, here. Stay tuned to the end when he calms down, but not enough to resist poking fun at Dr. Sanjay Gupta's Indo-American heritage by lampooning his family name.

- Looks like Jessica Simpson has rubbed off on John Mayer - and not in a good way, either:

For John Mayer, the raised awareness that Live Earth U.S.A. brought to the issue of climate change made the event a success. "I think a lot of people at Giants Stadium today want to listen," he said. "Awareness works likes a vitamin. You go to the bathroom and 99 percent of it is gone but you hope that you retained 1 percent."

What?

And from the same article, if you're a man-made global warming skeptic, RFK Jr. thinks you're a "traitor".

- This just in: women prefer men with muscles, and the Pope considers Catholicism to be just a cut above.

Why are these two stunning observations making headlines? This may partially explain it.

- Wednesday morning update: Moore's temper tantrum continued last night on Larry King Live. See here. I've seen first-year university essays with more intellectual rigour than this guy's efforts at social science. Also gotta love it when he insists that Canadian health care is "free" and also how he dodges the question about which country's system he'd rather use if he was ever in need of a heart catheter - and it's not like Gupta is some free-market ideologue.

Jeffrey Simpson:

Canadians just love feeling more virtuous than Americans, and Sicko lets them wallow in their virtue. No serious Canadian, however, believes Mr. Moore's idyllic, quickie portrait of Canadian medicare, just as no one believed his assertion in Bowling for Columbine that residents of Windsor don't lock their doors.
