I do have it turned on all the time. However, while you were awake and working,I was sleeping (now doesn't that sound a bit sinister? 8-)).
Ann Coulter is someone who has discovered the pleasure and power there is in completely dehumanizing your enemy. She is often capable of justified observations, but she always takes them much too far - coasting on hatred and a practiced manner that is by now as much a tool as the shticks of a stand-up comedian, except that she intends to provoke rage rather than laughter. Because there are a lot of conservatives who feel, not without cause, that the mass media tend to insult, marginalize and demonize them, her shtick has found a lot of willing buyers, but I think she is coming near the point where even a majority of her intended market will see through it. And incidentally, she is also due for a major makeover. She is losing her looks, and if she insists on her usual miniskirt tight dress long golden hair look, in a couple of years she will look like a hag.
People like that all fall under the grimly amused description by Robert Graves: He found a formula for drawing comic rabbits. His formula for drawing comic rabbits paid. So in the end he could not break the tragic habits His formula for drawing comic rabbits made.
