Kevin's article was swagtastic, and Katrina's response is over-careful hedging and framing. The root of "virtue" is "man," and Kevin was clearly calling Mr. Romney to be open about his manliness. The feminism regnant today denies the fundamental complementarity of the sexes, but women want manly men as much as they want faithful me. Keep it going, Kevin. Cut loose, Katrina.

lol, there was a time, thankfully pre-internet, when I wrote like this.

Regnant? What the fuck kinda declension is that?

it is an adjective being turned into a verb by an idiot

Swagtastic

Once again, behavior that is bog standard for any other politician becomes history's greatest outrage when the black guy does it. (Make sure to read the comments in the original to see what a bubble these people live in.)

I feel like I'm now officially out of touch with college students because I'm completely unable to parse what it means about that guy that he looks that way

It means that Neal Stephenson is his god and he listens to Tool a lot.

so it still means the same thing, then

Jay Nordlinger's Tampa travel notes. This guy's so creepy.

How much do you want to bet that he paid a visit to the Sarah Palin impersonating stripper?

he's probably way too uptight to go to a strip club

but he floated in the warm Gulf waters!

Nordlinger apparently trying to audition to get Larry King's column. I mean, really, he starts by musing about buttons.

i think pareene tweeted last night that homocon was about half straight journalists

By the way, there were go-go dancers at the party — of both sexes. But they were wearing jeans and Romney t-shirts. Like I said — conservative.

jesus imagine having that gig

The comments are lovely

I did lol at this one tbh:

Lots of makeup on the ladies — Republican convention. I’ll let you know about the Democratic ladies next week.

Jay "human skin lampshade" Nordlinger

"was she a great big fat person?"

Herman Cain: southern, courtly, fun — a rascal, no doubt.

love this guy. I'm thinking polling the best recent Nordzingers.

689 Reasons

We set out prior to the last issue to come up with 1,000 reasons to defeat Obama. Alas, we could only come up with 689, which you can read here. We know we must be missing about 311 perfectly good reasons for him to be defeated.

fuck you Rich Lowry for getting "Santeria" stuck in my head

thats sublime

point still stands

you're all mixed up dan

thats the red house painters

;-)

I created an unnecessary thread for this: for all practical intents and purposes, 311 and Sublime are the same band

105. We need a president accustomed to signing the front, not the back, of checks.

this is really something

My favorite sign, which I saw while driving past the nearby park where the Occupiers are erecting their trademark rape-tent city, was hand-painted on a whitish sheet, and read in desperate lettering: “FOOD DONATIONS NEEDED.”

This cracks me up:

Good Lord, what a horror show. I have to assume they are front-loading as many of the leftwing, base-placating, embarrassments and hacks as they can. But what a weird way to start. Ripping God out of their platform, announcing the government owns us, sticking it to Israel and celebrating abortion like it’s a rite of passage trophy for young women everywhere: Priceless.

Well then

I hear Cory Booker made a really stupid comparison. That’s too bad, I continue to think he’s one of the good ones.

The last sentence was not a dog-whistle, but a reference to Booker being a good Democrat.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

23) Ted Strickland, who lost to Kasich in Ohio, gives a really ugly, hyper-nationalistic speech shaming Romney for hiring dirty foreigners and investing abroad.

these guys are really in another world:

29) “From the President’s hometown of Chicago.” — Rahm, shamelessly dog-whistling.

I don't even
