"Chitwood"

I dunno, KJL, Detroit has a pretty big muslim population and the name "terri" sounds a lot like "terrorist"

Terri was just fucking with her and works in the welfare office

I bet she wishes it was Terri Schiavo, still alive and now a proud member of the GOP.

K-Lo with the classic fat girl facebook picture.

Is The Corner going soft on terrorism? I haven't seen a single mention of the Pentagon shooting or Jihad Jane. I mean, I'd hate to think they're not mentioning it just because the suspects are white Americans.

A daylight savings time confession
Alex Tabarrok

Had the idea of a government plan to shift the clocks back and forth twice and year been proposed today I am reasonably certain that I would have been against it. I probably would have argued that it would be chaotic, inefficient and unnecessary (private firms could agree with their employees to change working hours at any time, right?). Central planning of time! Washington bureaucracy messing with the clocks! Get your government hands off my time!

And yet, it works and I like it. It is good to be reminded of this twice a year.

heeey don't throw the marginal revolution guys in with these bastards

(oh i didn't see the other article linked to)

if this bill passes, will the posts on the corner the next day be more or less hilarious than they were the day after obama won the election

k-lo is doing exactly what she did when she was constantly hoping that santorum would somehow win. Lots of stuff like "the vote hasn't happened yet."

meanwhile

Racism Today [Jay Nordlinger]
A reader sends in an unusual and thought-provoking letter. See what you think:
As everyone sweats out the final Obamacare tallies, I’m struck by a couple of other stories. In one case, someone reported hearing an anti-black epithet used at a political rally. In another case, dogged police finally arrested the perpetrator of an intolerable crime. The perp is a 16-year-old kid who made a potentially offensive comment on a Wal-Mart overhead speaker. That these things are even remotely newsworthy leads me to one conclusion: Racism in America is dead. We had slavery, then we had Jim Crow — and now we have the occasional public utterance of a bad word. Real racism has been reduced to de minimis levels, while charges of racism seem to increase. I’ll vote for the first politician with the brass to say that “racism” should be dropped from our national dialogue. We’re a good nation, among the least racist on earth . . .

i want to make a sarcastic joek but the stupidity just breaks my brain

Can any of you make heads or tails of what this means?

The Exception that Proves the Rule [Daniel Foster]
I think it is fair to say that tonight's vote represents a victory (temporary, we hope) for the idea that America is exceptional not because of its differences from Europe, but in spite of them.

03/22 12:05 AM

Doing that thing from school where you wrote out the sentence again from the end.

"In spite of it's differences with Europe, America is exceptional and this vote re-inforces that idea, temporarily."

No, still don't understand it.
Apart from anything else what is this "Europe"?

I think he's trying to say that American is exceptional, not because of its difference from Europe, but in spite of its commonalities (like healthcare). The way it's written tho, I'm pretty sure it's gibberish.

conservatives think america is different from europe, and those differences are what make america better (we are exceptional).

liberals think america is different from europe, and those differences are signs of what's wrong with the country (we are good in spite of our problems).

tonight, liberals won. hopefully their victory is temporary, ps i'm a dolt.

i think that's what he meant anyway.

Change… but Hope [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

I am watching Fox and Friends for the first time in forever. I think it’s indicative of this new day. As many readers know, I'm forever watching MSNBC. But after that radical, dangerous, unwieldy, paternalistic vote Sunday night: Donny Deutsch, Lawrence O’Donnell, Eugene Robinson in the morning … I can’t do it anymore. At least not today. It’s Laura Ingraham and ... well, Rudy Giuliani in the morning. There's not much that is perfect in this world ... or on morning talk TV.

laura ingraham and rudy giuliani aren't even perfect by fox news standards!

The Crist-Rubio Debate [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
I watched half feeling guilty that it's Palm Sunday.

catholics are allowed to watch TV on sundays.

k-lo's defense of the pope in recent weeks are so pathetic it's not worth posting

plz post

ok but it's more boring than pathetic...k-lo on 3/26:

My friend Fr. Raymond DeSouza in Toronto has also written a piece worth reading, which gets to the heart of the issue: There is a deep and shameful history of Catholics not being Catholic — including in seminaries and rectories. He writes, in part:

In the 1960s, like much of society and after the Second Vatican Council, the Church simply abandoned her disciplinary life. Doctrinal dissent was not corrected, but often celebrated. Liturgical abuses, both minor and outrageously sacrilegious, were tolerated. Bishops simply stopped inquiring into priestly asceticism, prayer and holiness of life. Non-Catholics often have an image of the Catholic Church as a ruthlessly efficient organization with a chain of command that would make the armed forces jealous. The reality for most of the 1960s to 1980s was the opposite. A priest could preach heresy, profane the Holy Mass, destroy the piety of his people and face no consequences. The overseers decided to overlook everything. It is any surprise, then, that when accusations of criminal immorality emerged they too were dealt with inadequately, if at all?

Pope Benedict, in his bluntly-worded letter to Irish Catholics last week wrote that the bishops "failed, at times grievously, to apply the long-established norms of canon law to the crime of child abuse." Too many bishops weren't Catholic enough. They failed, for example, to follow the clear direction of the 1983 Code of Canon Law that a cleric who commits sexual sin with a minor "is to be punished with just penalties, not excluding dismissal from the clerical state if the case so warrants."

A culture of laxity had so infected bishops that their disciplinary muscles had severely atrophied. It was not as if they were vigilant rulers in all aspects, but perversely indulgent of sexual abuse. Indulgence was shown to abuses of all kinds. So latitudinarian had the clerical culture become that even modest attempts at doctrinal discipline were widely mocked — or do we forget that the progressive press, inside and outside the Church, calling Joseph Ratzinger "God's Rottweiler"?

translation: the liberalization of the Church begun w/Vatican II in the 60s led to child abusing priests. celibacy and a culture of sexual repression had nothing to do with pedophilia.

ok so what they need is just more celibacy and sexual repression, in other words they should be more like k-lo ; )

lol welcome to living with my roomie

Also: the notion that Ratzinger wasn't himself to blame for the "liturgical abuses" about which K-Lo's butthurt friend complains is fucking offensive.

One of the bloggers the other day linked to this article on Salon which starts with an anecdote which made me literally LOL:

A quarter-century ago -- at a time when about 10 priests in Rhode Island had already been accused of sexually abusing children -- the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence tried to stop my then-14-year-old daughter from making her confirmation because of her mother's work with Planned Parenthood. When that conversation took place in our pastor's office (and was taped by me), I was also told not to come to the rail, since I'd been excommunicated for that work.

My reply?

"Let me understand this, Father. Because of my work with women at Planned Parenthood, you don't want me to come to the rail and take communion from the hands of a man who sexually abuses children? Is that what you're telling me, Father?"

From a $100 Contributor to NRO [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

"I wish I could give more but after Sunday I'm going to need every penny I can to pay for everyone else's health care. Keep up the good work and keep pushing for conservative 'change we can believe in' in November.

That could only be more perfect if it ended with "God bless."

Also, this from K-Lo's Twitter feed:

there are bigger fish to fry but the president's leg on the oval office desk is a jarringly perfect image of this administration's approach

yes, bush put his feet on his desk too. doesn't quite change my view of the obama photo. and i'm sure i haven't surprised you any. enjoy.

I mean, how can one even begin to interpret this as anything except "It's different if a Democrat/black guy does it?"

I'm more concerned about the bigger fish she's frying.

The return of the thin white Gallagher:

Defending David Frum [Maggie Gallagher]
Jonah: The substantive attacks on David Frum consist of this: Having been unexpectedly sacked by his employers, he has theorized that donor pressures might be involved. I cannot believe that any human being under the circumstances would not wonder about it. Well, perhaps David is wrong; AEI will survive this surmise.

To attack his character the way people have is wrong, untrue, and ugly. For myself, I should say that David has always seemed to me, well, a little on the Canadian side in his outlook (I expect he's a pariah there for his views). But Rich Vigilante is right; as a movement, we owe him an enormous debt — for the Supreme Court we have, if no other reason. Gratitude, if not friendship, requires that we reject the attacks on his character.

"David has always betrayed a preference for Manitoba over Minnesota."

My Democrat bosses hate that I surf to NRO every lunch hour. This donation will really tick them off. Keep up the good work.

hopefully the bosses use opendns b/c I added some categories for NRO such as tasteless, humor, hate speech :)

Anonymous [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

The piece we published today on the devastating effects of pornography has kept a steady stream of e-mails coming into my inbox. Some telling devastating tales. Some confessions. Some adamant defenses of pornography from frequent users. Some cries for help.

Please feel free to keep them coming. I'll report back here before too long.

Good night for now.

"Do we even talk?"

The royal we, I assume.

Also what's with the clown who says he can't have a beer with the boys after work anymore. I realize the Church is cracking down and all but even so...

Also, masculinity is severely constrained and diminished in the modern world. We don't compete, don't fight, don't hunt, our sports are corrupted by money and odd socioeconomic factors that increase the psychic distance between fan and participant, you can't have a beer with the boys after work anymore. There are women everywhere, each one a potential problem; there is NO male world, and very little male life left. Even commenting privately to another guy about a woman's appearance is risky, as half the men are self-appointed Protectors of Approved Social Norms. Women don't really need us anymore and the partnership doesn't seem as equal as it used to; every guy is 1 lawyer away from losing half of what he has and most of what he'll have in the future. Infidelity? Most men can't afford it.

On the flip side of all this is a barbaric ghetto culture that most men want no part of and likely doesn't exist outside of hip hop and the NBA.
