I’ve decided to go public with my intentions: I will not be asking Ann Coulter for a date. There are some good reasons.

First, I’m married. Second, there is a substantial age differential. And, third, I fear rejection.

While reading Coulter’s book, How to Talk to Liberals (If You Must), I thought about prospects.

A single, middle-aged guy who’s still trying to look like he’s in his 20s would make a perfect match. But before you pick up phone to pop question, there are some things you need to know.

Keep in mind, for example, that Ann Coulter is relatively good looking. “Relative to what?” you ask. “A ’58 Buick? Tapioca? Phyllis Schlafly?"

Yes.

You’ll also want to know that Coulter was born and raised in Bubba Belt. That’s important. Not because she’s Ann Coulter, but because it’s a date. Any guy who’s opened door for feminist, been called a chauvinist and then jabbed with an upper right (knee) knows all about this. Coulter is no feminist. You will open door for her. And if you don’t, you may get jabbed with an upper right.

And that brings me to another announcement. Thursday, April 1, all women of world are to meet in my living room. If you are a feminist, you will be tattooed with an X on your forehead. If you are not a feminist, you will be marked with an O. That will end door-opening offenses for women and considerable pain for men.

Back to our date with Coulter.

You will pick her up at her stylish Washington, D.C. apartment, say, 5ish. When you first see flow of long blond hair covering left-side of her face, you may want to raise your eyebrows twice. That’s body language. It means “hubba-hubba” in Bubbaland. However, significance of left-face covering should not be noticed. Just gaze into her gorgeous right eyeball.

The preferred date for evening will be NBA game. The Indiana Pacers will be playing Detroit Bullets-oops-Pistons. Granted, it’s an unlikely event in Washington, but this is an imaginary date. Don’t get excited.

Small talk in route to event will be in order. You will notice Coulter loves words that no one can use or understand, except for her and William F. Buckley, Jr. The most common is “felonious.” According dictionary.com, word is defined as “adj., relating to anyone Ann Coulter finds disagreeable.”

The wind of change is in air. Does this mean that defeat of labour is a foregone conclusion in next election? Far from it – Labour Party, whilst certainly experiencing a rapid decline in popularity is far from defeated. They are still likely to win next election - but a week is a long time in politics.

Labour candidates will admit that Blair’s popularity is well down on previous levels prior to Iraqi war. The recent doubts over proposed new terror laws allowing suspects to be detained without trial has not helped. The accusations and continued exchanges between Tory and Labour over NHS have not helped matters, any more than Blair’s attempts to win over people with his misguided Television fiasco.
