Coulter, Maher spar at Radio City – Yahoo! News

NEW YORK — Bill Maher couldn’t have asked for a better act to follow.
 
Maher took the stage at the Radio City Music Hall Monday after Ann Coulter – with whom he’d spend the rest of the night debating – had held forth for 15 minutes on the sins of liberals. 

The applause for Maher was huge – exactly as one might expect in not-exactly-blood-red midtown Manhattan. 

“If we were having this debate in Springfield, Mo., it would be different,” Maher said. 

But even in mostly hostile territory, Coulter was no shrinking violet. When moderate Mark Halperin brought up Meghan McCain’s swipes of Coulter on The Daily Beast from earlier in the day — the daughter of the would-be president called her “offensive, radical, insulting, and confusing all at the same time” — Coulter said it didn’t bother her. 

And Coulter dealt with the occasional boos while debating with Maher over stem cell research, Iraq and of course, the 44th president – all while delivering her own blows on everyone from Timothy Geithner to Nancy Reagan. 

Coulter began her remarks by noting that it was once OK for the media to mock a candidate’s middle name — as when James Danforth Quayle was the GOP’s VP candidate in 1988. 

“Doesn’t the middle name ‘Hussein’ in a Democrat reinforce the impression of the Democrats being soft on Islamic terrorism?” Coulter said, adding that she finds it “hilarious” when Republicans toss it around. 

Coulter talked said liberals are always first to be offended — and are “masters of finger-waving indignation.” 

She didn’t hold back on the media, either. 

“Overnight, the media went from being watchdogs for the people to guard dogs for the government. That’s with the exception of Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann, who are lapdogs of the government,” she said. 

“Time magazine got the ball rolling by comparing Obama to Jesus Christ,” Coulter said moments later. “So I lost a bet: They do know who Jesus Christ is.” 

Coulter riffed on the media’s comparisons of Obama not only to Jesus, but also to Lincoln, asking: “Did Lincoln do blow mostly in high school or did he wait until college?” 

That’s where Maher picked up when he got his 15-minute shot.

“To start off, George Bush did a lot more blow than Obama ever did,” Maher said. “Please don’t ruin the only thing I like about him.” 

Maher, the host of HBO’s “Real Time,” aimed at the other side — such as congressional Republican indignation about debt. 

“Who put two wars on a credit card?” Maher asked. “There is this debt because George Bush spent money like a pimp with a week to live.” 

Maher got applause for any shots at Bush, as when he mentioned Obama’s quoting of Voltaire — “no George W. Bush, that’s not a Harry Potter character.” He used the term “bimbo” to describe Bush, Quayle and Sarah Palin. And Maher attacked those who consider themselves “real Americans,” by claiming that “if it wasn’t for the two coasts, this country would have been sold off to China thirty years ago.”

While Coulter criticized the MSNBC hosts, Maher took on Rush Limbaugh.

“We all say crazy s–t when we’re high,” Maher said. “I think it’s interesting that he is now the undisputed leader of the Republican Party. It shows how clueless they are. They went looking for the future and they found radio.”

Following the opening statement and remarks, Halperin sat down with both Coulter and Maher and began asking about Monday’s news that Obama had ended the Bush-imposed limits on embryonic stem cell research. That led to the two battling over Nancy Reagan, who has come out in support for Obama’s decision.

“Nancy Reagan was so madly in love with Ronald Reagan,” Coulter said, “if you told her that we could bring Ronald Reagan back to life, cure Alzheimer’s by disemboweling everyone in this audience, she would say ‘do it.’”

Maher: “So you’re saying Nancy Reagan, the patron saint of the Republican party … ”

Coulter: “She’s not the patron saint of the Republican party.”

Maher: “She’s somebody you revere. … You’ve just said she’s bats–t crazy.”

Coulter responded that it’s funny to see liberals — who once chided Reagan for following astrology — now trying to bring her into a science debate. “I never saw her as a seer of technology,” she added.

The two went on to debate evolution, Iraq and whether Wall Street is full of liberal Democrats, as Coulter claimed.

But even the two political opposites had something in common — that is, in addition to enjoying talking in front of a big audience and getting publicity.

At one point, Halperin asked if the debaters thought Obama regretted any of Obama’s personnel appointments.

Maher said he regrets Obama’s choice of Geithner, because, he said, the treasury secretary “sounds like he’s sh–ting in his pants.”

“Do you think he inspires confidence, or you more in the pants thing?” Halperin asked Coulter.

“No, I agree with Bill 100 percent on this,” she said.

“We’ve reached consensus here,” Halperin declared. “You both think Tim Geithner’s doing a bad job. If you were Tim Geithner, and heard that Bill Maher and Ann Coulter both thought you were doing a bad job, would you say, 'Oh good’ or ‘That’s a bad thing’?”

And on that, there was one more point of agreement: Both Maher and Coulter said that a Cabinet secretary wouldn’t want their support.

How To Practise Unicorn Magick

On some level, we are each of us magicians, since everyone is engaged in the process of making things come to pass by power of will and clarity of focus. However, some do it better than others; they employ ritual and esoteric knowledge so as to minimise the need for hands-on involvement in material manifestation.

The use of certain equipment and techniques, and the awareness of subtle realities, characterise the craft, which has proved its worth by being able to survive thousands of years of persecution. There are equivalents in any religion or system of knowledge to match the wands, staffs, cauldrons and athames or the dramatic spells, incantations and protections of the witch or magician. Yet few paths hold as much fascination and are as profoundly misunderstood as this one. It is a path of sacredness and beauty that leads the practitioner to realise a closer relationship with the Source.

Ideally, each member of a magical group will keep a state of heightened awareness throughout the process. One part typically is more oriented towards left brain activities, another more right brain and usually the most important is the challenge to integrate these in perfect balance during a ritual which represents the climax of the process.

It is assumed that some readers may have little or no practical experience and therefore require some guidance on all points, yet some basic background knowledge is assumed and realistically we have to say that the development of intuition and self-expression are enhanced when some instructions are given by example only. Hence the need to attend an appropriate event where specific material is offered, perhaps not pre-ordained but arising according to inspiration and appropriateness. Very likely this will fall
1000
into certain categories such as creating and empowering artefacts (wands, staffs etc) healing devices (crystals, herbs etc) divinatory media (tarot, runes etc) and achieving states through ceremony and ritual; of course we also need to work with elemental forces, incantation, spells and protections. Those familiar with Druidry, Wicca and British paganism will probably feel at home with the general atmosphere of a camp of magick, although we make no claims here to represent a given line.

The ideal student will be a responsible adult with a clear mind, strong will and ability to resist extreme emotionality except as a passion for the work. Previous experience in meditation and growth processes may be helpful, whereas preconceptions and expectations may not. It is good to make a commitment to yourself, to the group and to the process. Typically the competent practitioner of magick will have developed considerable respect within their circle of acquaintances by having clear ideas about things and, by speaking honest and true. They’ll have demonstrated the ability to overcome lethargy and learn how to be disciplined and show application in all that they take seriously.

The practitioner probably has skills beyond the average person in a range of things esoteric, although, far more importantly, has the ability to impress and persuade. Sparkling wit and keen intelligence are not unlikely, yet nor are they required. What is required is the readiness to acknowledge that things are not always as they appear. Playfulness and occasional mischief are to be considered normal. These children of Hermes are lovers! They love to study the mysteries; they love to be in nature, they love to love, and they love life. So clearly full-blooded and passionate, their eyes shine with vitality and often wry amusement.

And rarely is one found to be other than self-possessed of the strength of character that exudes confidence and inspires trust. Often they stand against a tide of confusion, with a voice that commands and inspires. Therefore they are well disposed to be leaders within their community – for all the above reasons. Not all magicians wear robes and tote wands; some make do with suits and pens. Shape-shifting is par for the course, and discretion has its own advantages. Each lives by a code. Though the values may differ from one to another, the need for a firm set of rules is sacred. Without this, how could one keep a clear conscience? And without this, self-confidence could so easily degenerate into hubris. For all their competence, dignity and diligence, when the moment comes, the adept throws caution to the wind and launches off into the unknown with a sense of daring worthy of a warrior. Trust and detachment are two wings of a soaring heart!

There is an annual camp in England where the leaders are trained and skilled in a range of esoteric techniques and are experienced in adopting the necessary states in order to demonstrate their effectiveness in achieving intended results. Entirely in keeping with the Unicorn Ethos, the values of sensitivity, intimacy and acceptance are supported along with further refinements in self-discipline, self-responsibility and self-disclosure. agick is about transformation. Each participant can expect to be changed on a very deep level, both inwardly in their feelings and perceptions, and outwardly in their circumstances.

The overall vision of the series of camps is to bring about the necessary shifts in how people think so that harmony and abundance replace conflict and want. We achieve this when we are in perfect balance. So we study female and male energies, beauty and power, left and right brain, Goddess and God, seeking always to be aware of what comes back to us as a result. There is danger in magick; we are invoking great and powerful beings. To work with this requires full concentration and adult behaviour, so it is not for everyone – especially the young or unstable.

Have you ever asked yourself, “What does my name say about my personality?” If you’re interested to find out, read on…

Names are very sacred. A lot of people take them for granted, but names actually have a say on your personality. After all, it is what you have to live with for the rest of your life.

While some have the opportunity to change their name when they grow up, the weight is not as significant as the name you were given on the day of your birth. Needless to say, your name can certainly have an influence on how you see yourself and how other people see you.

Once, I asked myself, “What does my name say about my personality?” I had my own opinions and so I asked other experts and friends what they thought about it. If you want to try to analyze your own name, here are some tips for you to consider:

1) Review different personalities.

An interesting way to figure out what your name says about your personality is by reviewing people with the same name as you. A lot of people unconsciously take on the same personality as a person with the same name as them.

For example, girls who are named Princess often grow up to be graceful ladies. In other cultures, people believe that a baby named after a thief will one day grow up to be one.

2) Consult the baby book.

One of the easiest ways to find out what your name says about your personality is to consult the baby names book.

These books already have fixed meanings for common and unusual baby names. Your parents most likely looked up the meaning of your name before they actually made the decision to give you that name. I know, cause that’s how most of my friends got their names.

3) Try the power of astrology.

Or rather, the Internet. If you’re curious to find out what your name says about your personality, you might be inclined to check out what your name means online.

Some websites often only ask you to type your given name, and all you have to do is click the button. Most of these descriptions are actually quite accurate, so there might be some truth to them.

So what does your name say about your personality? Names have the power to shape how your life is going to turn out. If your parents gave you a hideous name, you might have a not-so-pleasant time growing up. However, in the end, it’s all up to you. You alone have the power to control how your life is going to turn out.
