Hypothetically speaking

New from Regan Books - Osama bin Laden finally breaks his silence! "If I Did It" tells the story of how the Saudi exile would have planned, executed, and evaded punishment for the most spectacular terrorist attacks the world has ever seen.

Publisher Judith Regan sits down with bin Laden and poses the questions on everyone's minds: What if the Zionists didn't blow up the twin towers? And what if the military didn't fire a cruise missile into the Pentagon?

Over the span of 400 unusually detailed pages, we learn how Osama would have harnessed the rage of a humiliated population, manipulating them into carrying out attacks he never ordered.

Bin Laden talks about planning sessions he would have held in the late 1990s, logistical complications he'd have to have overcome, and even delves into the psychology of the men he would have tried to recruit, going so far as to say, "They'd probably have enjoyed coming over to play pool on Sunday evenings in Kabul."

Don't miss the publishing event of the year - "If I Did It," by Osama bin Laden.

A little bit country

Due to a prior commitment (and let's just blame Time Warner cable for good measure), I'll be unable to see Mindy Smith perform when she visits the West Coast.

Mindy is an absolutely delightful country/folk singer with a great voice and some mad songwriting skills. She's also based out of Nashville, which means there isn't much opportuntiy to see her play 'round these parts.

So I've devised what I think is a very generous offer for her to come to the San Fernando Valley and put on one more show. What will I include? Read on:

1. Round-trip airfare on Southwest Airlines. A carrier so classy you can pick your own seat AND keep the in-flight magazine at the end of the trip. Where else will can you read about the hottest clubs in Cleveland?

2. Accomodations at either the Best Western or on my futon. If she should choose the futon option, there is an endless supply of microwavable pizzas, as well as free play on a pinball machine (not even the Hilton offers that).

3. Complete meal at the Cheesecake Factory. We're talking appetizer, entree, and dessert. This is how much I appreciate good music.

4. And finally, the chance to show the people of Los Angeles that Fergie's "London Bridge" doesn't even really count as music.

So there you have it. Her people can get in contact with my people and I'll keep you posted.

God, I wish I had people.

Do yourself a favor and give Ms. Smith's new album, "Long Island Shores," a listen at www.mindysmith.net. You shant be disappointed. (I even plugged the album - this plan is too ingenious not to work).

House party

When asked early Tuesday if President Bush was as confident the GOP would retain control of the Congress as he had been in recent days, White House press secretary Tony Snow said, "No, he's more confident."

That's a fancy pair of Rove-colored glasses you have there, Mr. President.

But we should all heed the words of Fox News: "San Francisco values" will soon sweep across the nation. We'll all be gay-married by year's end, and inviting Osama bin Laden over for some vegetarian treats. Because Democrats "just don't get it."

And clearly, neither do the voters.

So keep your eyes peeled Wednesday as the spin doctors unleash lame excuses for their losses. It should be funnier than anything you read here.

Bits and pieces

- I don't mean to kick a congregation when they're down, but I hear Pastor Ted Haggard also had an "Evolution of Man" poster stuffed under his mattress.

- Saddam Hussein will meet his fate at the gallows - it's about time someone was hanged for 9-11.

- It's no secret that John Kerry can't tell a joke. Who can forget his poorly executed "Who's on First?" routine at the Democratic National Convention?

- Retailers have already started pushing the holiday season on shoppers, which can only mean one thing - Fox News can drop its coverage of the War in Iraq in favor of the War on Christmas.

- This headline from CNN.com: "Cheney to go hunting on Election Day." Sounds like bad news for the Democrats.

Calendar girls

The Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute is offering a calendar of "Great American Conservative Women."

As if December weren't cold enough, now Ann Coulter can adorn your wall as you complain about the War on Christmas.

The calendar is free for students, or available for a suggested donation of $25. I think that might be a little steep for most people's pockets, but some guys will pay anything for a glamour shot of Michelle Malkin.

Sandy Forman of the National Rifle Association poses with a handgun - because nothing says "Welcome to April" like a woman packing heat.

But where are the Bush twins? I'll tell you where they're not - Iraq. But hey, neither am I. Though, to be fair, my dad didn't launch the invasion.
