Favorite poster from NR's "The Corner"

i remember getting a free compilation cd at edgefest when i was in high school that had "bella's birthday cake" on it and me and my friends did lol impersonations of it the whole ride back

Parsing this hurt my brain.

John Podhoretz once remarked that all conservatives are bilingual: We speak both conservative and liberal. Liberals are monolingual, because they can afford to be. To the Obama crowd, Fox News is a foreign tongue. The “mainstream” tongue? Well, we all grew up with it, were taught in it.

Ahahahaha. Oh, John Podhoretz. Is this your way of feeling better for your poor Hebrew + Yiddish skills? "Oh, I'm multilingual too!"

"George W. Bush’s people would never have singled out, say, MSNBC."

Uh didn't they?

They singled out NBC iirc, yeah

"And why should I have to learn about Van Jones, ACORN, and other significant matters from Fox News opinionists?"

oh sheeet gbx....edgefest...

lol cut work and got fired for that weekend

man i hope it was worth it.

i went to the one with ramones, bush, sponge and collective soul. front 242 refused to play cos ppl were throwing mud (it was raining) and they didn't want their gear ruined. people were getting aggro.

it was "our" altamont imo

I agree with Lord Hanson!

n one sense, we should all be happy that Obama — it is undeniable — has improved America's standing in the polls taken abroad.

But what might account for such a radical turn-about in America's image in such a short time, other than the fact that a young, charismatic, and eloquent African-American is now the titular head of the U.S. instead of an older, white, Christian guy with a Texas accent who says "nuclar"? Not being George Bush helped, but there is clearly something more going on to account for such markedly improved attitudes about America.

I think the answer is pretty clear: The world likes us when we admit that it was a mistake to take out Saddam Hussein; it likes us when confess to two centuries of systematic sinning and agree that we are no longer all that exceptional; it likes us when we at least verbally agree to sign on to the mass transfers of wealth in cap-and-trade European-style environmentalism; it likes us when we talk up the U.N. and rejoin the Human Rights Commission; it likes us when we distance ourselves from the hated Zionist entity; the world also likes us when we reach out to Ahmadinejad, Assad, the Castros, Chavez, Putin, and other dictators and totalitarians that are the norms in much of the world; and it likes us when it feels that we are adopting more statist policies akin to many states abroad. In other words, the more we resemble at least some of the popular attitudes of those in Asia, Africa, South America, and in Europe, the more we are liked.

the world also likes us when we reach out to Ahmadinejad, Assad, the Castros, Chavez, Putin, and other dictators and totalitarians that are the norms in much of the world

sentences like these are so hilarious and gross, they really make me laugh but they also make me want to throttle him. they have only a glancing relationship to truth, so the question is, does VDH really believe it? he's either totally cynical or completely marinated in bullshit

"reach out to Putin"

like staring into his eyes and seeing his soul? Calling him "pooty-poot."

Man, we had a president who called Putin "pooty-poot." For 8 years.

Re: Re: Teabagger [Jay Nordlinger]

This is the way I put it in a post on Monday: “I myself am afraid that ‘teabagger’ is here to stay. And perhaps conservatives will ‘own’ the insult, as they say? Or maybe they have owned it already? Alternatively, is ‘teabagger’ to be a conservative N-word, acceptable — even joyously employed — among conservatives, but nasty and impermissible from liberals?”

Another word on the list of onetime insults that got “owned”: “Methodist.”

P.S. Readers keep reporting instances of the use of “teabagger” by “mainstreamers” — Gwen Ifill is one such mainstreamer. Readers also wonder: When will the ’streamers stop smirking, as they say it? The smirks are still present — suggesting that the users know exactly what they’re doing.

An Epithet, Anyone? [Jay Nordlinger]

Responding to a posting about school choice, a reader has a very interesting idea. He knows that “liberals and their allies in the MSM get a lot of mileage out of the ‘chicken hawk’ taunt” — “chicken hawk” is what they call people who support military action who never served in the U.S. military. (That would be most people who support military action, of course.) Our reader wonders why there can’t be a similar term for politicians who oppose school choice whose children have never been to public school.

"people who support military action". well played, nordlinger

yes it's out of context and he means it the other way but it's too perfect

joyously employed teabagging

haha i took it as "conservatives accept and even joyously employ the n-word"

On the Elevator [Jay Nordlinger]

Today, on the elevator, I met a man - a fan of my work, who gave me a firm handshake. We laughed about global cooling and Obama's children: what if they had to attend a public school? When the elevator doors opened, he exited before me, turned, and said with a wink "by the way, I am the other kind of teabagger." I felt 'OK'.

~LOL~

looooooooooooooool

hahaha wtf does that last sentence even mean

maybe it wasn't him ;)

haha yes homo

love the idea that nordlinger got hit on & assumed it was just a devotee to the cause

The handshake was firm, some would even say it was rock hard.

"You make my pee-pee maker t-t-tingle."

is he really marveling at having felt 'ok' about sharing close quarters and a joke with a gay man? and noting with surprise that his wrists were not actually limp?

tune in next week when jay nordlinger meets a mexican who doesn't snooze all afternoon.

I like the idea of Nordlinger ending up having sex with a man because of confusion over the definition of teabagging.

Can't wait for the general NRO slash fic.

"Victor's hand gently pressed my thigh. 'Jay, it's good, but there needs to be more about Spartans.' I felt a new sense of the possibilities."

why the quotation marks around OK?

like is "OK" hip new slang to nordy?

"OK" is part of the "jive lingo" the "kids" today use.

ha, you know i totally bought that nordlinger post as real. makes me think there's no stupid thing that i won't believe a cornerite capable of saying.

I had no idea it was faked!

This is real though!

Re: Teabagger [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

I suspect many of the people who will happily describe their movement as such will not really know of or not particularly care about the definition 360 and the rest are into. I may be delusional, but I think the American Revolution still trumps the urban dictionary in much of the country.

oh how i wish my high school history teachers had talked about the teabaggers of the revolution...

I may be delusional,

good work. can you get rid of the blue box?

(here come 100 puns re: K-Lo's blue box)

No, because it highlights the firm, supple quality of her teats.

i guess i deserve that

i'll give you supple, but firm?????

omg it's awkward http://tv.nationalreview.com/offthepage/post/?q=NGMwMTMxYTk0MTYyMWUwNzM3YTM0YjI5NGRlNTY4N2E=#at

so now I am really confused, why does this woman have a career
