The OKA. A phrase well-coined (apparently) by Clyde at The Patriot Room.

Want to play at Wimbledon’s Centre Court? Forget the tennis training and work on your make-up.
When it comes to choosing which women play on Centre Court, good looks count for more than big shots.
While a succession of easy-on-the-eye unknowns have appeared in Wimbledon’s prime arena, the top women’s seeds have been relegated to lesser courts.

No, not that kind of lucky, as in “I hope you get lucky!” The kind of lucky that has one of the world’s most famous sex symbols and the world’s most famous accused pedophile and plastic surgery victim die the day after you announce your affair, thus bumping your admission out of the most-written about [...]

The movie Streets of Fire just blew me away when I saw it 25 years ago or so. Turned out I was one of the few that actually went to the theater to see it. The film bombed. But it remains my favorite movie of all time, and I don’t consider anything else even close.
There’s [...]

I like Sarah Palin a lot. I’m not sure I’d support a presidential run, and I worry that she was too gravely wounded in the 2008 election to recover, especially in time for 2012. But I do love her not just for her values, but for her ability to bring out the worst (or the [...]

For anyone else sick of the coverage of the freak, there’s a nice slide show of Farrah Fawcett here. (Hat tip: American Power)
Let’s talk a little about my use of the word “freak.” I don’t say it with gusto, nor do I say it with venom. Well, not venom for Michael Jackson, anyway. I say [...]

To my great disappointment, the coverage of Michael Jackson’s life and death has been as all-consuming on Fox News as it has been on the other news channels. One reporter referred to him as “Michael” this morning. That’s probably been rather common, but I haven’t kept the TV tuned there long enough to know.
I’m irked, [...]

I hereby move that there be no picures of Maria Belen Chapur allowed in any Rule 5 posts this week. Or ever. And that goes for anyone else’s “other woman.”
Just in case anyone’s thinking about it.

What do you do when a majority of your bioethics panel recommends against what you want to do? Easy! Fire them.
The White House has dismissed the members of the President’s US Council on Bioethics just a few months before their mandate expires, indicating their services are no longer required by the President and that he [...]

And not just because his wife is a babe. Plenty of guys have cheated on gorgeous wives.
But a woman scorned is one thing. A woman scorned and handy with a firearm is another.

As Allahpundit writes at HotAir: “At the rate we’re going, I’m starting to think Obama might run unopposed in 2012.”
Can I make one simple request? If you’re going to cat around, stay a low-level party hack! Ensign and Sanford were chair of the Republican Policy Committee and chair of the Republican Governors Association, respectively. Cripes!

In the saga of Governor Mark Sanford’s unexpected incommunicado status, Karol at Alarming News picked up on Sanford’s wife’s apparent nonchalance. Wrote Karol:
His wife is not worried because, get this, “the governor said he needed time away from their children to write something.” Shaaaaaaaaaady.
I don’t know. I’d consider it shady if Elliott Spitzer were missing at [...]

David’s blog is The Unreligious Right: The Opinions of a Highly Opinionated Right-Wing Atheist, and I found it today through a comment he left at Professor Jacobson’s. Obviously, he and I don’t see eye-to-eye on the existence of God. But here’s part of what David (who blogs as UNRR) had to say about recent criticism from [...]

This is just wrong on so many levels.
Obviously, someone, somewhere, thinks this look is attractive. But I seriously doubt that includes anyone in the regular Rule 5 crowd. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
I’m not here to make fun of Swedish bodybuilder Irene Andersen’s, looks, I’m just wondering . . . why?

Stacy McCain at The Green Room:
By making “conservative” arguments for liberal policies, these treacherous elitists [Conor Friedersdorf, et al. ] convey the message that conservatives are not really committed to opposing liberalism. So Democrats can ram through their agenda, and then the “conservative” intellectuals will join the Consensus Chorus telling us that this is a [...]

Jonah Goldberg calls out President Obama and the Left today in the L.A. Times:
During the Bush years, what was best about liberalism had bled away. One of the worst things about the Republican Party has always been its Kissingerian realpolitik, the “it’s just business” approach to world affairs that amounted to a willful blindness to [...]

Maybe I’ve been remiss in not following the whole Letterman-Palin flap. Maybe it didn’t interest me too much because — without knowing the details of what happened, admittedly — I was afraid conservative commentators were making too big a deal out of it.
Apparently, there are people who just are not going to let this thing [...]

Why, they’re going to Disneyland, of course! If, that is, by “going to Disneyland,” you actually mean that a mob is going to run wild outside the Staples Center, set fires, attack vehicles, pelt the police with rocks and bottles, and trash businesses. Which I guess, for some of the “fans,” is a Disneyland of [...]

I’m finally catching up with the lefty blogs regarding their fury over the arguments that the Department of Justice is using to support the Defense of Marriage Act against a challenge to its constitutionality in a California federal court. Short story:
