christ, what an asshole

victor davis hanson ...he's a fucking numbskull

Funny thing is he has these academic credentials that make him look halfway respectable, but his writing shows he either has shit for brains, or (more likely) he has no interest in speaking truth or writing sense, but will do or say anything to serve his bosses.

John Derbyshire must have struck out HARD with the liberal girls in college to be that pissy about people with graduate degrees in art/sci stuff.

He must have struck out HARD with women in general, if his writing is anything to go by.

None of us can deny that John Derbyshire, a "writer — novelist, pop-math author, reviewer, and opinion journalist" has made "non-negative contribution to the life of the nation", unlike the professors in the wedding announcement.

i always like a little inverted-marxism slash denuded-fascism talk. "parasites", you say?

denuded isn't really the right word there.

ill takedown of dinesh d'souza at the economist (via tnc)

http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2010/09/obama_derangement_syndrome

"Message to American billionaires and the people who write for them: many events and movements in world history did not revolve around marginal tax rates on rich people in the United States."

he took that d'souza thing down like hardcore daaaamn

Suddenly...Jay Nordlinger!

I don’t know about you, but I’m addicted to Chris Christie videos like some people are addicted to porn. I could watch them all day. I particularly like it when he confronts schoolteachers: because no one ever confronts schoolteachers (except maybe unruly, pugnacious, or precocious kids). Schoolteachers are always sacrosanct, politically — but not with Christie.

jesus

I’m addicted to Chris Christie videos like some people are addicted to porn

i mean

just

nordlinger is sweating profusely just thinking about confronting politically sacrosanct schoolteachers

have you SEEN Nordlinger? He looks like a guy who sweats profusely.

fyi, this is what Nordlinger is whacking it to

That was kind of hot.

I just experienced a terrible moment: my pants got wet in front of my students.

Are there a whole bunch of videos of Christie confronting schoolteachers or is Nordlinger just watching the same event as filmed by different news outlets? Multiple angles.

@ 0:35

"if you want it, i'm prepared to give it to you."

"teachers do it because they love it."

Always bowing.

that's not a bow, he's being sucked in by gravitational forces

Christie has joeks.

Nordlinger is also the guy who wrote "the Obama kids are 100 percent scrumptious," btw

I don't want to know what the underside of this guy's computer desk looks like.

And I didn't want to consider that image. We don't always get what we want. Blech.

I wish Obama had said, "Well, Joe, you don't HAVE to be a plumber."

Rather painful, but watch Jonah praise Newt's "brilliance"

“Obama Makes Rare Church Appearance”
September 19, 2010 3:06 P.M.
By Rich Lowry

Poor President Obama. His approval ratings have been sinking, Democrats abandoning him–and now he has to spend part of a gorgeous Sunday morning going to church. The indignity! (Apparently it’s his sixth visit as president.) He was still able to make time for an afternoon golf game, though.

it's like the 1920s w/these righteous boobs. Sinclair Lewis & HL Mencken roll in graves.

which is more galling, rich? that obama prays like a "true" christian or that he plays that most republican of sports - golf.

Where's he getting the idea that Obama thinks it's an "indignity"?

This thread, probably.

In a November 14 2008 article, Time magazine senior editor Amy Sullivan noted that "Ronald Reagan didn't go to church at all"

for "security reasons" natch. hey, if obama starts attending on the regular NRO can scold him for 'egotistically' disrupting services & endangering his fellow supplicants.

It really, really doesn't get better than this. How many platitudes and slogans can you cram into an essay? How much slavishness?

And how much crazy? Because the wackadoo comes across in this essay even more clearly than in most of her writings.

you crazy for this one, Jay

that's actually one of the more insane things i've ever seen

people have to have better ways to spend their time

i can't even imagine what happens whenever that guy goes to the movies

Three cheers to your e-mailer. I was a very prolific jazz reviewer for years — live performances and recordings — but totally quit when Obama got elected. The constant e-mails, liner notes, and remarks at gigs that trashed Bush and the Right, while extolling the coming of The One, enraged me, and I just couldn’t take it anymore. Why should I spend one minute of my (volunteered) time helping jazzers when they obviously despise what I stand for?

I had to e-mail all sorts of people, asking them to stop sending me CDs. The responses I got were both shocking and disheartening.

i just

look you don't have to be one of those all out space hebrew coltrane types but, dude, what

history of jazz, kind of complicated, you know

I don't know from jazz clubs. Was The One praised often in 2008 and '09?

I've been going to the wrong clubs.

come to think, jazz might be the biggest performer - audience mismatch for political leanings in music
