They let themselves go, get fat, etc.

One other reason I’m inclined to root for Newt is that he just makes for such a great villain. His narcissism, grandiosity and megalomania have all the makings of a bombastic antagonist, perhaps in the mold of someone like Drax from Moonraker. Even his name, “Newt” lends itself to this narrative (a salamander?) I could easily see him as one of the Alien leaders from V — the original miniseries (1983 version, not the crappy remake.)

There you have it: if you’re into sci-fi and misogyny, and think narcissism is underrated, you’ve gotta go with Gingrich.

Sincerely,
Brandon Adamson

I've always been a reclusive, anti-social person that frequently finds himself in social situations . Like Richard Nixon, I'm an introvert in an extrovert's business.

Oh wait he's from Arizona. Everything makes sense now.

I strive to create works that live up to the future as it was envisioned in the 1950's and 1960's, an optmistic, achievement oriented civilization. I watch old movies and listen to records for inspiration. I obsess over color usage and composition. I never paint with just the painting itself in mind. Rather, I imagine the context and visualize the entire room the piece would be in. Ambiance is a crucial aspect of everything I do.

Lileks is off somewhere wondering if he should bother suing...

I live in a 1967 built condo in Arcadia, which has been said to vaguely resemble a Bond villain headquarters(complete with megalomania and narcissistic tendencies of it's primary dweller) I'm a serious minded person, but I try not to take life too seriously. We'll be dead before we know it. I'm old fashioned but young at heart. I enjoy romance, curiosity, imagination and adventure most of all..

You know, for a poet, your punctuation sucks.

I often make things which are intentionally boring and lifeless to confound and spite those with limited attention spans. This has been known to irritate a great many people. I only listen to AM radio, and occasionally enjoy tuning to a spot on the dial that offers nothing but static when I want to get away from it all. I love the thin sound produced by old pocket transistor radios.

Some girls are all about
wishing things would've worked out
or wondering why
things didn't work out
don't work out
won't work out
or if only this
or that
then things would've worked out.
It's as if instead of working things out
and things working out
all they really wanted was a good workout
I guess just let them
work themselves out
cause I just want things to work out
if that's cool

Lots of things can happen after you commit to someone. They let themselves go, get fat, etc. These broads can drain you emotionally and physically with their endless demands and grievances.

i really need to quit rubbernecking this weirdo's blog and do work, but here i leave you with a quote. on reading john derbyshire for the first time:

I had the unique experience of reading “We Are Doomed” while recovering from scrotum surgery last year.

I don’t see how one could make it through an entire game of Chrono Trigger and conclude that a character like King Guardia XXI would have been any worse or less corrupt of a leader than most of the democratically elected, popularity contest winners of the 21st century.

It would have been a much better film if he did not get Elaine at the end, if he were to race to her wedding only to have her say “Benjamin, you’re starting to scare me. Look you’re a great guy, and we had some good times, but really I don’t like you as much as you like me. Besides the fact that I just got married, I’m moving to Portland, and I want to start over there and have new experiences and meet new people. I don’t want you to come with me.” Then the graduate could have learned life’s hardest lesson, one that isn’t taught in any school.

namely that GIRLS SUCK

one thing i find very weird is they all get caught up on hoffman stealing elaine from propriety and the older husband and the upper bread lifestyle etc but miss the closing scene where they stare at each other on the bus and realize that they have no idea what they're doing and maybe don't even know each other very well and are kinda fucked? i wouldn't go as far as to say it's a reactionary flick but it's certainly not the pro-bohemian exalted-hippie-fest they seem to think it is
