Ann Coulter Tells Lawrence O’Donnell: ‘Sean Hannity Knows More Than You – You’re a Democrat’

Conservative author Ann Coulter returned to MSNBC Thursday to spar with admittedly socialist commentator Lawrence O'Donnell. At the end of a highly-entertaining segment dealing with Coulter's previously expressed support for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Ann marvelously told her host after he besmirched Fox News's Sean Hannity, “He knows more than you – you’re a Democrat” (video follows with transcript and absolutely no need for additional commentary): LAWRENCE O’DONNELL, HOST: You’ve said that you agreed that [New Jersey Governor Chris] Christie is soft on a few things. Now, you agree with [Sean] Hannity on that, and I guess you’re going to work on him on that. ANN COULTER: Yes. O’DONNELL: But you also made the point that Ronald Reagan was soft on a few things, too. COULTER: Yeah, he was. O’DONNELL: What was Reagan soft on other than raising taxes which he did a couple of times? COULTER: I’m not telling you. I’m not going to attack the blessed memory of Ronald Reagan. You know, I mean, when he was Governor, the one, his biggest regret of his life was that he signed an abortion law. Now, this was before Roe v. Wade, so give him a break. It wasn't a big issue. And he said that was the biggest mistake he ever made. O’DONNELL: He also raised taxes, which is something I don’t think Hannity knows. COULTER: Overall. O’DONNELL: Does Hannity know that Reagan raised taxes? COULTER: Hannity knows all. O’DONNELL: Oh, okay. COULTER: He knows more than you – you’re a Democrat.

The Met’s upcoming opera to boast glasses-free 3D effects that nobody requested

We don’t mean to sound negative or anything, and we’re not 3D naysayers by any means. But the news that the Metropolitan Opera ‘s upcoming production of Siegfried will include mind-blowing 3D background effects is, well, mind-blowing. While you’re undoubtedly familiar with 3D effects, you may not be acquainted with Wagner’s 1876 opera which portrays the story of Sigurd, a hero of Norse mythology. Robert Lepage, the director of the operation, expects theater-goers to find themselves engulfed in a three-dimensional world of his creation, which will be projected on the 45-ton set. Lepage, who is directing Wagner’s entire Ring cycle at the Met, worked with Geodezik — famous for the stage shows of famed opera performers Pink and Justin Timberlake — to create the show’s effects. The 3D you’ll be seeing if you hit the theater won’t be like the technology you’re familiar with, however, as it makes use of fractals, and the moving parts of the set to ‘trick’ your eyes into seeing in three dimensions. We don’t want to say this sounds like a bad idea until we’ve seen if of course, but we’ve got our reservations. Hit up the New York Times link to see one rather small image of the set.

Island’s Invasive "Killing Machine" Finally Captured

Photo: Impy Malting The tiny island of Kapiti, located five miles off the coast of Wellington, New Zealand, is one of the last refuges for a menagerie of wildlife driven to near-extinction elsewhere by invasive species. Since the late 1980s, when all non-native animals were meticulously cleared from the island, it has been designated as a sanctuary, an important safe-haven for a host of birds species unaccustomed to predatory mammals. Late last year, however, a single stoat was spotted on the pristine island — prompting a aggressive, three month long search for the rogue … Read the full story on TreeHugger

The Associated Press's Scott Bauer opened his report (“Wis. lawmakers flee state to block anti-union bill”) from Madison, Wisconsin today by completely misrepresenting the nature of the legislation involved in the current standoff: Faced with a near-certain Republican victory that would end a half-century of collective bargaining for public workers, Wisconsin Democrats retaliated with the only weapon they had left: They fled. Wow. That's pretty serious. Any reasonable reader of that paragraph would believe that evil Republican Governor Scott Walker and the GOP-controlled legislature aim to end all collective-bargaining rights, break up the Badger State's pubic-sector unions, and relegate them to the ash heap of history. But that's not what's at stake, as Bauer himself, after repeating the falsehood in his 34th paragraph, finally revealed what his definition of “elimination” is in Paragraph 36: In addition to eliminating collective-bargaining rights, the legislation also would make public workers pay half the costs of their pensions and at least 12.6 percent of their health care coverage – increases Walker calls “modest” compared with those in the private sector.

Comcast launches its own 24/7 Xfinity 3D channel, crosses 1 million 3D VOD views

After DirecTV, Comcast has been among the most aggressive in pushing 3D programming, so it’s no surprise to receive word that it’s begun scheduling round-the-clock 3D content on the Xfinity 3D channel just days after DirecTV launched 3net alongside ESPN 3D and its own n3D network . While viewers can tune in to see what’s playing (mostly some documentaries and varied computer animated content) right now, the official kick off comes this weekend on February 20th when it airs the 2011 Tim Horton’s Classic outdoor NHL game between the Montreal Canadiens and Calgary Flames, followed closely by a Kings of Leon concert in Germany presented from MTV’s library. After early 2010 featured a sparse category of one-off 3D events it looks like the channel guide is at least starting to fill up, as to whether or not anyone is watching, Comcast also announced it’s served up over 1 million views of 3D shows and movies over video on-demand with more sports, music and movies to come.
