SWEET SWEET VICTORY AGAINST THE SODOMITES

woah another bitter fattey who woulda guessed huh

i'm sorry you can't get laid, but take it out on some other people, mags

ugh why did I just imagine her making out with K-Lo

that's all the defense marriage'll ever need for me

lol

best maggie gallagher piece hands down http://www.andreadworkin.net/memorial/gallagher.html

You know honestly I love the gay marriage ban amendment bullshit because as long as they spend money trying to push that kind of utter blue law nonsense that has no actual effect on real life land, that's money these dimwitted fuckos aren't spending on actually trying to win, you know, elections. Do they know who just got elected? Do they know he's going to make at least three appointments to the Supreme Court, never mind all the circuits and who knows what else down the line? What the fuck ever, 700 Club, your ass just got ssaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacked

Every Maggie I have ever been acquainted with has been completely kookoo bananas. It's like the female version of Tucker.

All victories are temporary in a fallen world. But this one is sweet.

UGH.

ALso Three Silver Linings [John J. Miller]

Congratulations, Barack Obama. Only in America.

Three silver linings:

1. I always thought America's first black president would be a conservative. So much for that theory. I've also always looked forward to the day when we would no longer have to comment on the "first black this" and the "first black that," whether it's a Superbowl-winning football coach or the secretary of state or whatever. I suppose these announcements will continue to go on for a while, but the achievements behind them will feel a lot less like barrier-busting progress than a mopping-up action in the wake of a dream realized.

"so much for that theory"

\o_o/

lol does he actually know what "silver lining" means???? (HINT: it is not something that you complain about further!)

lol "mopping-up action in the wake of a dream realized" sounds like what i had to do some mornings during high school

so much for that theory

You bet I'm sour.

Every Maggie I have ever been acquainted with has been completely kookoo bananas. It's like the female version of Tucker.

TRUTH

Feeling Gravity's Pull (Ramesh Ponnuru)

Kevin Merida: "The magnitude of (Obama's) win suggested that the country itself might be in a gravitational pull toward a rebirth that some were slow to recognize." I'm not sure what that means—maybe I'm just slow to recognize it—but I'm pretty sure I don't like it.

And what Ramesh, his hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Can't these clowns just go on their cruise now and get sloppy drunk please.

that is going to be one sad boat.

How To Take A Beating [Jonah Goldberg]

Deadwood is one of my all time favorite shows, and when I am made czar many an HBO executive will meet my dungeon master for allowing it to go off the air.

Once again, Andrea put her finger on my truth

ahem

reader email lulz

1. The youth vote: It was marginally more important this year; and 18-29 year olds are solidly Democratic. This is a major branding problem for the Republican Party. I think millenials, in general, have a lot of conservative tendencies. They believe in the private sector. They aren't cynical. They believe in the family, community, service, and social responsibility; but I think that Republicans are losing them based largely on outreach and perceived problems with tolerance and diversity.

2. Minority votes: There are scary trends in this election. Obama won 96% of the African-American vote (the Dems weren't far behind) and more than two-thirds of the Hispanic vote, concentrated largely among younger Hispanic voters. Perception matters, and I think it's important for the Republicans to make an effort to talk to these groups. I fundamentally believe our ideas about free markets, individual liberty, etc. could be enormously appealing to these folks, but we aren't seeking to engage these broad communities as much as we should.

"Folks" is the new "You People"

Obamaweek Strikes Again [Mark Hemingway]
q Newsweek's "special election project":

The Obama campaign was provided with reports from the Secret Service showing a sharp and disturbing increase in threats to Obama in September and early October, at the same time that many crowds at Palin rallies became more frenzied.

Funny, I always thought correlation is not causation. But clearly, Palin was stoking hatred. Thanks for keeping it classy, Newsweek. You never fail to dissapoint with your partisanship and general sloppiness.

LOL What have u done, Mordy. Also lol at using "is" instead of "does not imply".

Hemingway fails to acknowledge that the Secret Service, um, confirmed the threats.

how's that for fucking causation?

perceived problems with tolerance and diversity.

'perceived'

Hey, I only taught the difference between correlation and causation to Jonah. He must've shared it with Hemingway.

I always thought America's first black president would be a conservative.

Well, technically, so did Berke Breathed in 1988. At least, Oliver's dad stated as such.

GOP Electoral Strategy: Date Democrats [John J. Miller]

Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg says unmarried women made the difference for Obama. Back in 1994, when white male voters were said to be responsible for the GOP's takeover of Congress, the media came up with a label for them: "angry white men." Will the media now refer to Greenberg's voting bloc as "bitter unmarried women"?

Don't bother answering that.

Move Over Move On? [Jonah Goldberg]

From a reader:

Thank God dissent is patriotic! Now NRO can be the most patriotic web site on the internet!

Alas, that standard only works for liberals. When conservatives dissent it's called being "divisive." Man, get the latest glossary already.

Losers [Byron York]

There are a lot of things you can do when you finish a losing campaign. You can sleep for 30 hours straight. You can get drunk. Your can reflect on what went wrong and why your side lost. Or you can immediately dump every unflattering tidbit you know — or think you know — about your colleagues to the press.

That is the route some McCain campaign staffers have decided to pursue with regard to Sarah Palin. Within hours of McCain's loss, they were dishing on everything Palin did or didn't do, everything she did or didn't know, and why they, the staffers, bore no responsibility for anything that went wrong.

Did Palin once answer a knock on her hotel room door dressed in a bathrobe? Get it out there!

The question here is not whether Palin was a good or a bad choice for vice president. Reasonable people disagree on that one. It's about the character of the McCain campaign. There is no doubt that it included some fine people who, whatever their opinions, wouldn't be involved in this kind of behavior. But it also, obviously, included some who would. John McCain ran for president, to some large degree, on the character he had displayed throughout his life. Not so for some of those around him. What a bunch of losers.

"The question here is not whether Palin was a good or a bad choice for vice president. Reasonable people disagree on that one."

No they don't.

"Reasonable people disagree whether reasonable people disagree on that one."

What a bunch of losers.

Arizona is huge because Arizona was the only state ever to reject a marriage amendment in 2006. This year, Arizonans decided to correct that anomaly, bringing to 30 the number of states that protect marriage in their state constitutions.

And also: giving marriage a perfect 30 out of 30 record of victory at the ballot box.

Um....
