I can't wait to read what John Yoo wrote about executive overreach.

Breaded and fried in a pan?

Wow, this is much ado about nothing. Maybe I'm a racist but I never thought 2 Broke Girls was racist or the jokes were racist. I watched it last year and not so much this year. It's too sexualized for me, but racist? nah. (Where is the writing that went into shows like Frazier? Hilarious).

lead:
Liberalism isn’t doing so well lately. In fact I’d go so far as to say that liberalism is becoming downright pathological.

conclusion:
It seems fair to conclude, then, that liberalism isn’t doing so well lately. In fact I’d go so far as to say that liberalism is becoming downright pathological.

kind of imagine this ringing through the writer's head over and over again, a la 'dental plan! lisa needs braces!'

I like how Fred Schwarz continues with the thread's "WHAT IF..." theme:

So if high-school hotshot Jimmy Carter had come along a couple of decades later, he would probably have been an Ivy Leaguer too.

Game, my ass. Some game. If you get on the side where all the hot-shots are, then it’s a game, all right—I’ll admit that. But if you get on the other side, where there aren’t any hot-shots, then what’s a game about it? Nothing. No game.

God, what a resentful punk-ass NRO motherfucker.

Naval career

After high school, Carter enrolled at Georgia Southwestern College, in Americus. Later, he applied to the United States Naval Academy and, after taking additional mathematics courses at Georgia Tech, he was admitted in 1943. Carter graduated 59th out of 820 midshipmen at the Naval Academy with a Bachelor of Science degree with an unspecified major, as was the custom at the academy at that time.[14]

Carter served on surface ships and on diesel-electric submarines in the Atlantic and Pacific fleets. As a junior officer, he completed qualification for command of a diesel-electric submarine. He applied for the US Navy's fledgling nuclear submarine program run by then Captain Hyman G. Rickover. Rickover's demands on his men and machines were legendary, and Carter later said that, next to his parents, Rickover had the greatest influence on him. Carter has said that he loved the Navy, and had planned to make it his career. His ultimate goal was to become Chief of Naval Operations. Carter felt the best route for promotion was with submarine duty since he felt that nuclear power would be increasingly used in submarines. Carter was based in Schenectady, New York, and working on developing training materials for the nuclear propulsion system for the prototype of a new submarine.[15]

On December 12, 1952, an accident with the experimental NRX reactor at Atomic Energy of Canada's Chalk River Laboratories caused a partial meltdown. The resulting explosion caused millions of liters of radioactive water to flood the reactor building's basement, and the reactor's core was no longer usable.[16] Carter was now ordered to Chalk River, joining other American and Canadian service personnel. He was the officer in charge of the U.S. team assisting in the shutdown of the Chalk River Nuclear Reactor.[17]

Once they arrived, Carter's team used a model of the reactor to practice the steps necessary to disassemble the reactor and seal it off. During execution of the actual disassembly each team member, including Carter, donned protective gear, was lowered individually into the reactor, stayed for only a few seconds at a time to minimize exposure to radiation, and used hand tools to loosen bolts, remove nuts and take the other steps necessary to complete the disassembly process.

[....]

Upon the death of his father James Earl Carter, Sr., in July 1953, he was urgently needed to run the family business. Lieutenant Carter resigned his commission, and he was discharged from the Navy on October 9, 1953.

Jimmy Carter was many things, but he also quit school and signed up to be a Naval officer during the War, went inside a live fucking reactor, and was the only engineer to ever serve as President.

....and Hoover.

which is partly why they were failures, as Gore Vidal once argued: their minds weren't easily adaptable.

wonder what president vidal would've been like

writing sodomy into the Bill of Rights.

Did anyone else think it was odd that President Obama chose to challenge a millionaire boy scout on his knowledge of horses and knives?

On a serious note, a mom of two Marines just put it to me very well: “Amb. Stevens would have loved a horse or a bayonet or a Marine with either one.”

Quite.

uhm, what would a horse or a bayonet have done against a bomb or rifle attack inside a building?

"They're breaking down the conference room door! DEPLOY THE HORSE!"

gosh I didn't realize Romney won the debate last night. Good thing I checked the Corner ;)

Victor Davis Hanson: Are We Becoming Medieval?

Maybe Romney went a little overboard with invocations to peace and economic development as the answer to everything as if he were a risen George McGovern. But he realized that his task was not to make foreign policy — he’s not president yet — but to win an election, and like a good professional he concentrated on that task.

as the late Hitch once said of George Will, this guy writes like an adoring hack in a one-party state.

NRO hack says "Mitt was right" about Syria being "Iran's route to the sea," gets pwned by own commenters.

lol

I think pollowitz is the guy who writes almost all of NRO's climate denial articles

surprised they're rallying around this guy

i think what he said is close enough to what they believe that they have to

trinko knows the body can't magically shut down an fertilization, but she still believes that the baby is a gift from god that you shouldn't abort

Suspended Non-Reanimation

Does anyone else find it deliciously ironic that Hurricane Sandy has forced the “suspension” of the Obama campaign while the president play-acts the role of nurturer-in-chief in the aftermath of the storm? Recall that John McCain disastrously suspended his “campaign” four years ago to sit around and look worried about the unfolding financial crisis, and while that alone did not cost him election, it did allow candidate Obama to both eat McCain’s lunch out on the hustings and appear as “no-drama Obama” to an electorate that knew virtually nothing about the nice young man, in contrast the panicky old codger whose ability to influence the course of events was precisely zero.

Neither man was president, dipshit.

his "campaign"

not to mention that the photo isn't even from yesterday

Not to mention Marines don't guard the Tomb of the Unknowns. That's been one of the duties Army's 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment for the past 64 years.

oh ha

the leftist rag sites who ran that photo yesterday even got that right

^of the Army's... Seriously anyone with any experience in the military could spot Army ceremonial uniform vs. Marine ceremonial uniform in an instant.

marines ceremonial uniform is just shirtless and oiled iirc

marines love to be confused w/ soldiers btw lol

the corrected article admits the picture error but has no mention of the marines thing

marines thing was just quietly edited w/o comment i think

Still dealing with Sandy. Back soon.

I'm guessing "smells like girl" isn't quite the same as the "Smell of Female" in the Meyersian sense.

That whole piece is so full of "we accept you gay people already (even though we really don't)" I don't even know where to start.
