Stu Bykofsky Called ‘Fucker’, Among Other Things

Yesterday, Daily News columnist Stu Bykofsky (at right, apparently posing for a Wall Street Journal headshot) weighed in and said we need another 9/11 to make sure the public knows how important it is to stop terrorism. (Because when given the tools to fight terrorists, the government just does a bang-up job.) I don’t really get the reasoning — “In order to stop terrorists from killing Americans some terrorists have to kill Americans!” — but, hey, people can write what they want to.

Anyway, according to Shawn Mullen, former Daily News staffer and blogger, Stu’s column caused quite a stir on the Internets yesterday: Stu Bykofsky, a columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News… has set off a sh*tstorm by writing that he is hoping for another 9/11 terrorist attack because it would bring Americans together again.” Oh! A sh*tstorm!

‘Inquirer’ Comment Section Way More Fun Than Our Own

Seriously, guys. There are still more posts than comments, which is apparently a big blog no-no — personally, I’d rather have like a 40,000:1 post-to-comment ratio, but that’s just me — and I spend 95 percent of my waking hours deleting spam.

Then I go over and check out the Inquirer’s comment section on their big Catholicism series and there are gems like this:

Do you liberal homosexuals of the Inquirer really think they have the right to judge normal, decent people. Although this is Philadelphia — which choose gays over God long ago.

This is like a text version of one of those “Can you spot the differences?” drawings in Highlights — only it’s “Can you spot the unintentional funny?”

Liberals don’t plant trees

I don’t want to go overboard on this whole Good Day Philadelphia is the greatest show in the universe kick, but I have another video. No, it doesn’t involve dancing or mascots (sigh). This morning, Good Day interviewed Ted Nugent:

You know, I don’t even know if the show even needed a rebuttal. Nugent’s theme of “Damn those liberals and their anti-tree planting agenda!” pretty much sums it all up.
