NRO's The Corner: Rolling Bile, Spit, and Gnash Thread

you've come a long way, baby?

straight up: the corner = refuge for racist a-holes

i am not usually as gung-ho on some framing/semantics stuff as i should be but

he’s pro-abortion

is so hilarious in this context. like really, how does one assert one's celebratory, pro-abortion stance. joyously impregnating interns?

classy and sensual

Couldn't agree with you more about the food and women.

This white American dude has dated many Indian women and has very fond memories. Not only can Indian women be among the most stunning in the world, but as a group I consider them classy, intellectual, well mannered, intellectually curious, charming, sensual, and proudly feminine. And I now make a mean chicken curry I would add.

Gents, don't believe me about their looks? Go on Facebook and search a random Indian surname, such as "Malhotra".

Link???

"I do. The advent of Indians in America is a wonderful thing. Forget the engineering, think of the food, the girls . . ."

he needs to tour east asia with momus

to be fair, Indian food IS delicious

So apparently it was like date rape.

"We have you surrounded...Drop the dog whistle and put your hands up!"

Peter Kirsanow is just asking question here

Random observation: Setting aside for a moment the standard arguments (and the merits thereof) in the pro-choice/pro-life debate, a fact remains: In black neighborhoods, liberal-leaning groups advertise and facilitate a procedure that results in the birth of fewer black babies; conservative groups advertise and facilitate a procedure that results in the birth of more black babies.

The observation is simply that: not an analysis, conclusion, or judgment. Those are left to the solons in the mainstream media. I suspect, however, that the observation will somehow be confirmation of conservative bigotry.

conservative groups advertise and facilitate a procedure that results in the birth of more black babies.

What procedure is that? Surely not sex?

dunno if i'd characterize the lack of access to abortion as a "procedure"

Maybe incoherent posting English is a procedure...?

i'm trying to come up with the right characterization of jay nordlinger and i can't quite do it. he's very childlike and, i don't want to say feminine, but something like that. cloistered?

British?

buggered?

lol he reminds me of lj, that's it

uh, re: bnw, not Alfred

what is a solon?

where colons hang out

Solon was an ancient Greek elegiac poet but hey, if Nordlinger thinks it means 'footsoldier' I doff my cap to his edumakayshun.

"wise person"

Also the vibe I get from Nordy is 'moist little boy with undiagnosed tummy thrush', but there you go.

also 'nordlinger' sounds like the name of the evil dean in an 80s college flick

I think "prissy" is the word for Nordlinger, his clueless stuffiness reminds me of certain Nabokov characters

"Jean-Jacques Jihad"

Clever title! But as usual he's a dumbass. He evidently hasn't read his Locke (a real small-government conservative unlike NR's fascists), who writes in Section 87 of the Second Treatise on Government:

But because no political society can be, nor subsist, without having in itself the power to preserve the property, and in order thereunto punish the offences of all those of that society, there, and there only, is political society where every one of the members hath quitted this natural power, resigned it up into the hands of the community in all cases that exclude him not from appealing for protection to the law established by it. And thus all private judgment of every particular member being excluded, the community comes to be umpire, and by understanding indifferent rules and men authorised by the community for their execution, decides all the differences that may happen between any members of that society concerning any matter of right, and punishes those offences which any member hath committed against the society with such penalties as the law has established.

Surely this jackass knows that the Second Treatise was a primary influence upon Jefferson, Madison, et. al.? Rousseau's an important figure but it's not like the idea of surrounding personal freedom to the state in exchange for civil protection is his alone.

fuck, didn't mean "surrounding", meant "surrendering"

Those Eva Braun pictures reminded me of Qaddafi's "voluptuous blond," both of whom lead me to wonder—why can't dictators find better-looking mistresses? Hitler and Khadafy are (were) absolute rulers over millions of subjects, and these girls are the best they can do? It's not like either woman was ugly, but with all that money and power, you'd these goons could find a super-model willing to be their "nurse."

^^ what we're all thinking

i think my favorite thing about the corner is its naked fascination with power

a commenter voices doubts

At the risk of being labeled a pc prude, I have to ask, am I the only one who thinks it's kind of creepy to muse on the question of why insane and murderous dictators don't find better looking women to rape and terrorize and into a "relationship?" Classy stuff.

excellent use of the passive voice here from Nordlinger

In vino veritas, goes the old expression. I propose a new expression: In “undercover videos,” veritas. And what’s the name of James O’Keefe’s website? “Project Veritas.” O’Keefe is the sting impresario who stung NPR, and, before them, ACORN. Another way to put that is — he shed light on them.

We might debate the ethics of stinging. But do you know more about ACORN and NPR than you once did? Or, have you had your suspicions confirmed? How about Planned Parenthood, whom “Live Action” stung?

I was in Carnegie Hall Sunday afternoon, covering a voice recital (Joyce DiDonato). I encountered a distinguished fellow critic. He is on the left, of course, as almost all arts-world people are. He told me he was sending pizzas to the union demonstrators in the Wisconsin capitol. I said, “How nice. Can you tell them to throw the boxes away? Why can’t they clean up after themselves?”

There was more, but — this column has been irritable enough.

E pluribus unum, goes the old expression. I propose a new expression: E pluribus Oakland Raiders. And what's the name of a football team? The Oakland Raiders. Al Davis is the aged impresario who moved the Raiders from LA to Oakland, and, before that, from Oakland to LA. Another way to put that is - he owns the Raiders.

e pluribus oakland raiderae

what the

Uh

does that have any point other then "lol trannies"

I'm almost ready to start a thread on their commenters. That's where the fun is these days. K-Lo's retired until campaign season.

i know, the comments are pretty awesome. a sewer below the sewer.

i will say tho that they are generally better written and a little less overtly violent than the comments on, say, politico, or any newspaper.

Yeah. I read a string of comments on a Goldberg column that came as close to a civil debate on the merits of conservatism versus liberalism as I've seen over there.

the chortling comedy stylings of mark steyn return!

today's immigration debate really demonstrated how sociopathic Derbyshire and Krikorian are (along with many of their readers)

Bill McGurn turns up a revealing picture of two Hamilton College students and a “life-size” Barbie they created to illustrate how “body images” feed “eating disorders”. As you’ll see, it seems more likely that, entirely by accident, they’ve created a Barbie with the proportional brain size of the average Hamilton College student.

I would have thought two minutes on any American Main Street would dispel the notion that the republic’s womenfolk were in thrall to “body images” presented by Barbie, but don’t let that distract you from blowing a six-figure sum on moronic lethargic navel-gazing dignified as “education”.

Mark Steyn is a "douchebag" who should "put" a "gun" in his "mouth."

Fat people disprove eating disorders like winter disproves global warming.

lol

"...moronic lethargic navel-gazing dignified as 'education'." Whoa! Sounds like SOME hirsute Canadian pundit woke up on the wrong side of the bed today!

Hey, you know what belief system doesn't brook that kind of nonsense, Mark? ISLAM! Maybe you should look into it! Oh, wait, they don't brook Cy Coleman songs either. Oof. It's tough, when the world just refuses to adjust to your parameters, huh?
