Omigosh! Ann Coulter and Lynn have something in common!
I just had to come back and tease Lynn about this. Someone has produced a "documentary" about Ann Coulter, and on the website I found this quote:
"Find out about Ann’s passion for such rock bands as the Grateful Dead and the Ramones."
I'm not lyin':

We also breathe air.
So there's another. However, I actually eat *food* and don't require nightly oil changes and battery recharges, so there are two differences.
Johnny Ramone was actually quite conservative so I'm not surprised, and of course three-chord rock does appeal to a simplistic world view. But her "passion" for the Dead has to be a negative one, because I can't see a single area where Coulter and Garcia or John Perry Barlow would converge.

musical taste is a funny thing
People like the most surprising groups sometimes.
Are you sure about that?
The "breathing air" bit, I mean?
To my great regret, I followed the link that Susannah posted. Then, in a dazzling display of trying not to be biased, I actually checked out her website. (I won't post that link, don't want to soil this lovely website!)
I read today's column, but had to stop there, as I don't know where to get a rabies shot today.
UGH! Who buys her books?

music does bring pholk together
i have numerous parrothead friends (jimmy buffett phans) who are conservative, to varying degrees; this despite jimmy being unashamedly liberal. jimmy's only written one song that i can think of that is overtly political, about homeless people and the need to treat them as human -- not something neocons care much about. we get into knockdown-dragouts when politics come up, but we love the music. and generally for the same reasons.
still, this is coulter. i can't even begin to imagine she even slightly "gets" the dead. a summer spent following the band would have done her a world of good. not sure anything can help her now.
Another thing we don't have in common
Common decency.
Still up on her home page, after a tsunami devastates several South Asian Muslim countries, and I quote:
No, I don't think she even breathes air at this point.

Ann Coulter
It always amazes me how ugly people are to each other. Mr. Pickle and I are of opposite political parties, but in truth, we are both very moderate in our beliefs and thus actually very close in our beliefs. Our sons school is a hot bed of people with very, very firm opinions. I generally chose to keep a low profile. One father did approach me and try to engage me in a political discussion at the time of the Presidental election. When I mentioned my husband and I were of opposite political parties he commented, "I bet there are some knock down drag out fights at your house. What do your kids think?" I replied that we try to teach our children tolerance for differing opinions and the individual's right to their own particular beliefs.
That pretty much brought the conversation to a screeching halt. I think what really is appalling to me is the nastiness of some extremists, be they liberal or conservative. Penny Pickle
