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

haha i have to trade work emails with a Ben Murphy, never met the guy. i wonder...

To quote George Sanders in All About Eve: he's got a point. An idiotic one. But a point.

for a second I really thought he was talking about store managers in Banana Republics

Points for John miller's brevity

Murphy goes to full-on disingenuous mode by paragraph two, tho

that post screams ineffectual frustration

I also think the decision not to show the photos is based in some political agenda

It's called 'not uselessly riling our enemies and potential enemies' by being classless d-bags.

imo obama didnt carry his head through the center of town on a pike bcuz of some political agenda

when did "agenda" stop being a value-neutral word

When malevolent corporate world bureaucrats started shortening our lunch hours for the sake of one.

When the homosexuals started implanting it into our family-friendly sitcoms, of course. The TGIF line-up was the best night of tv all week!

Newt has just demonstrated what has been wrong with so many establishment Republicans. Always has to try to be Democrat "lite". And just like "light" beer and "lite" ice cream he just can't get it "right." When Newt emphasizes his "moderate" side it just makes one wonder if he can be trusted to actually stick by conservative principles, as he is asking the Republican Party to do. Newt just isn't going to hack it, for we are in far too much trouble in this country to take a risk on him going wobbly on too many issues.

"hack" re Newt is right.

About a year ago Morrissey got himself in trouble with the left for saying "the Chinese are not human beings." Though in his defense, this was only done in the context of criticizing the PRC's policies on ANIMAL rights!!

Posterboy for narcisistic know-nothing leftism.

(Funny: catchpa is "one hit wonder" -- except I'm not sure what his one hit was?)

From a commenter:

Instead of being intimidated by the demagogues and their compliant MSM, find ways to out-message them. It's time to start explaining how messed-up Medicare already is. Somebody elaborated on this on the comment boards here just the other day. Also, find people over 55 who would rather have Ryancare than Medicare. They definitely exist, and their reasons will be illuminating.

Very illuminating!

I know this is standard for cruise lines, but I find the "what to wear" copy strangely fascinating:

What to wear
With visions of seascapes and sunsets and days spent in exciting ports-of-call, you may wonder if you will need a new wardrobe for your cruise. Cruise clothes are simply resort clothes and you'll need the same basic outfits that you wear at home when casual by day and off to cocktails and dinner in the evening.

For this cruise, you will want very casual and comfortable wear during the day. This means slacks, shorts, T-shirts and sweatshirts as well as comfortable walking/hiking shoes. In general you should dress moderately on shore and save the dressy clothes for the ship.

Your clothing should be of the type that requires little care. The ship offers dry-cleaning service and laundry facilities, however these can be somewhat expensive. No matter what part of the world you are sailing to, always pack a light sweater or wrap for the air conditioning on board, breezy evenings on deck or early arrivals in port. Light rain gear is also a good idea.

There are two types of attire required for evening functions aboard ship:

Formal nights - when a tux or dark suit for the gentlemen and a dressy gown/pantsuit or dress for the ladies is in order.
Casual nights - when khakis and polo shirt or island/resort wear will be appropriate.
Please consult the cruise agenda you will receive about three months before sailing for specific dates and guidelines on evening attire.

Please consult with fashion expert/pundit Mona Charen.

you know how some people have a "face for radio"? that is a "face for calling women sluts" if i've ever seen one

Totally gunna open a chain of "island/resort wear" shops, setting fire to any Banana Republic, Panama Jack, or Sunglasses Hut we come across.

Corporate polo shirts, fanny packs, and white tube sock/sandal combos will be featured product lines.

And Ocean Pacific. Just cuz.

dress moderately on shore

oh my god

I have a friend who worked in a setting that was toxic to her, politically. They excreted left-wing views and attitudes, all day long. My friend was in the closet, politically. She said to me once, “Jay, you know how children, who suffer molestation, are told to go to a ‘safe place,’ mentally? That’s what I try to do. I try to pretend I’m wrapped in some kind of cocoon and can’t hear it, or can’t be touched by it.”

colleagues probably also fond of the abuse analogy but from a different angle

haaa

dressy gown/pantsuit

I am parsing this as a single garment that can function as either a gown or pantsuit

Are there really casual gowns? Doesn't "gown" imply "dressy?"

I mean I've heard of ball gowns, and pageant gowns, and wedding gowns, but I've never heard anyone say, "Yeah, this is my wood-chopping gown." If I had, I'd have almost certainly referred that person to the FBI immediately.

There is a "dressing gown" which is basically a robe

are we dressing Mona Charen or K-Lo?
