NRO's The Corner 2: Ghost Protocol

lol

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.

THESE BROADS

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.

um

that explains a lot

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.

he's like a cross between gzeus, deathdrone and j bateman, only dull as shit

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

that probably is a better ending tho

hahahahaha

conservatives really don't understand the graduate

liberals don't either in my experience

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

omg this guy

You know, I want Whiney to profile this guy.

It might go a little something like this:

Can It, Nancy
Comedian Adam Carolla tells liberals to stop attacking the rich.

By Brian Bolduc

Goody!

Sounds just as charming as when he would tell the young girls calling in to Love Line that they deserved to be date raped.

He's pretty much one of my least favorite people

wait c'mon, i listened to loveline w/ adam corolla and dr drew throughout high school and i don't remember him ever telling a young lady that she deserved to be date raped

He was always very victim blame-y, it has been awhile since I listened to it but that was pretty much par for the course with him.

Carolla is hilarious on certain topics(70s/80s pop culture), believes completely horrible things otherwise, film at 11

Former co-host of "The Man Show" in being misogynist jerk shocker

Carolla was really date rapey! I really can't stand his "I'm just a normal guy" shtick. You and everyone else, buddy, so can it and actually gain some self-consciousness.

loooove this guy...

Mona, I get some of the same mail you do, from people who think that Newt is the Last Word in Conservatism. I’m learning, more and more, that political perceptions have a great deal to do with style. If you slash and shout, many people think of you as “conservative” or “right-wing.” If you say right-wing things in a calm, polite way, you may be seen as a moderate.

“Attitude” is another word that comes to mind — attitude and style. They have so much to do with political perceptions.

Think about two governors, Perry and Romney. (Well, one’s a former governor.) Perry is considered the more conservative by far. But there are some areas in which Romney is to the “right” of Perry. Thing is, Perry could quote The Communist Manifesto and he’d still come off as conservative. It’s the swagger, the chest, the twang — all that.

I used to say that Richard Armitage seemed right-wing, looked right-wing. He was built like a brick you-know-what. I think William Safire once referred to him as “a State Department source, with no neck.” But Armitage was at one, philosophically, with Colin Powell.

Newt Gingrich will always seem more conservative than Romney, if only for style and attitude alone, I think.

P.S. The enemies a guy makes makes a huge difference too. In some ways, Nixon out-LBJ’d LBJ, as he occasionally liked to brag. But the Left hated Nixon so much, righties rallied to him.

More:

I have a memory from the 1988 Republican primaries: Jack Kemp promised to “fire” George Shultz. Big applause line, in front of righties. The promise was kind of absurd, because secretaries of state naturally leave office with their presidents. They don’t hang around to be “fired.” But Kemp was serving up red meat.

Shultz may be a Cold War hero now, but, oh, did the Right hate Shultz! They sometimes treated him like he was Paul Warnke or something. A lot of the Right had harsh things to say about Reagan, too. He’s Saint Ronald and all that now, but it wasn’t necessarily so during his presidency. I remember Howard Phillips, the chairman of the Conservative Caucus, calling Reagan “a useful idiot for Soviet propaganda.” Another conservative gave Reagan a Darth Vader doll, to remind him that the Soviet Union was, after all, an evil empire.

And do you recall this joke, a hot item among conservatives during Reagan’s second term? “None of this would be happening if Ronald Reagan were alive.”

I don’t know what got me started down Memory Lane, but I’ll return to 2012 now . . .

on the eligibility of John Bolton, of course.

Is this kind of judge President Chris Christie would nominate?

Well let's hope so

unless the GOP is a very different beast come 2016 i don't see Christie making it through he primaries

but then there's Romney so wtf do i know

Lady Godiva was a freedom rider,
she didn't care of the whole world looked.

Joan of Arc, with the lord to guide her,
she was a sister who really cooked.

Isadora was a first bra burner
Aint' ya glad she showed up?

And when the country was falling apart
Betsy Ross got it all sewed up

But then there's Mitt
But then there's Mitt
But then there's Mitt
But then there's Mitt
But then there's Mitt
But then there's Mitt

But then there's that old compromisin',

enterprisin',

anything but traqulizin'

Right on Mitt!!!

That's a question I often ask myself.

Look, the beauty of free speech is that, if you’re inclined to do so, you can write a check to PP in an act of solidarity, or write a check to Komen as an expression of moral approval. That’s all fine. But there’s something quite a bit different, something creepy and not a little despicable, about the Planned Parenthood set’s besmirching Komen’s good name across a thousand platforms for having the audacity to stop giving them free money.

money is the only acceptable form of speech

the beauty of free speech is that you can give money to whomever you want but there's something creepy and not a little despicable about TALKING

"free money" means to me "this money has no stipulations" when in fact it came with specific stipulations

note that if you support PP that is "solidarity" like unionists have but certainly not "moral approval" which is what moral people have.

corner must be churning some epic butthurt right about now

Klo in particular seems rabid in her butthurt and misogyny this afternoon.

LOL

this is a bit longer than "all the news that's fit to print" but it's a pretty good line for the masthead all the same

Slander?

The Happiest Wives in America?
By Maggie Gallagher
February 3, 2012 9:44 P.M. Comments3
In my syndicated column this week, I take a break from politics to ask: Just who are the happiest wives in America?

(Hint: Ann Romney, Rick Santorum, and Carol Paul are all examples).

And here I thought she was against gay marriage.

oh man that place was hysterical yesterday after the Planned Parenthood victory.

More fun from Pareene: http://www.salon.com/2012/02/13/no_newt_dont_quit_to_make_room_for_santorum/singleton/?mobile.html

Finally, there is the fact that Rick Santorum is an unambiguously awful candidate. He is not just a “social conservative,” he is a paleolithic anachronism of reactionary thought. The American people, despite the fervid wishes of a couple bishops and Kathryn Jean Lopez, are not actually remotely anti-contraception. Most voters — especially since the ratification of the 19th Amendment — think women should be allowed to have jobs outside the home. The last time the Republicans won a presidential election, they had 48% of the female vote, and I imagine they’d like to tie or beat that number this year, maybe? Rick Santorum is decidedly not the man for that job, unless scientists invent some sort of mind control ray that falls into the hands of Phyllis Schlafly.
