Favorite poster from NR's "The Corner"

These guys' indifference to silly things such as conflicts of interest almost elicits my respect. As I read Lou Cannon's Reagan biography, Ledeen's name pops up all over the place as an NSC lackey with some low-level involvement in the Iran part of Iran contra.

as much as i love the corner theyre gettin murdered by town hall lately

http://townhall.com/columnists/KevinMcCullough/2009/02/15/what_liberals_share_with_rapelay?page=full

In the game Rapelay, reviewers have stated that the player must first sexually assault a mother character and her two daughters before being allowed to then "pick" their next series of victims.

In the Congress of Washington DC liberals have seen to it that our mothers and daughters will have less money in the home budget working for their protection and welfare.

In the game Rapelay the reviews indicate that the rapist can even convince one of the animated computer characters that they like what's happening to them.

In Washington DC liberals in Congress sent their lapdog "Mr. President" out to the masses to do the same thing.

In the game, players take what is not theirs and laugh about the outcome.

In Washington DC, liberals take what is not theirs and laugh at the stupid people that gave it to them.

I've tried to be as tasteful as possible in explaining this comparison, and due to the passion of the natural man that was not an easy thing to do!

is he on some nietzschean nazi vibe?

btw i am friends with k-lo on facebook now

so jealous of max

OMG that Rapelay thing is like the political nutjob version of a Bill Plaschke column.

I hope this means some sort of politically themed Fire Joe Morgan-type site is not far off.

Oh yeah, townhall's always been a great source of people trying so, SO very hard to make it into NRO.

Obama's Governing Style
By Tony Blankley
Prior to the November election, the only evidence we had of Mr. Obama's managing style -- and that evidence was indirect -- was the management of his campaign, which was brilliant. More

"You hear that President Obama? This is America"

jesus fucking christ

I imagine we're all fairly willing to bet our first born sons that Palin will be nowhere in 2012 - this is just nonsense wet-dreams from the far right.

"You hear that, Gov. Palin? I'm a starburst of light!'

"I think people are hungry for someone who is fed up with the way things are and who seem to believe in something enough to know there in an alternative worth fighting for. Some of the voices may be far from perfect, but Americans are looking for signs of the life of an alternative."

It is, in fact, a sad truth about human life that beyond our salad days, very few of us are interesting to look at in the buff. Added to that sadness is the very unfair truth that a woman's salad days are shorter than a man's — really, in this precise context, only from about 15 to 20.

Where is Everybody? [Jonah Goldberg]

I just loaded up on Theraflu, so I probably won't make it through Obama's whole speech (though I am recording it). In fact, I'm so goofy on cold drugs, I could swear Nancy Pelosi is wearing some kind of puke green San Francisco hippy flophouse hoodie, or maybe a couch cussion cover from the same house. That can't be right, can it?

flophouse?

the post that has it all

Re: It's Always 1964 [John Derbyshire]

Many, many reader responses on this. A couple:

Derb — I live in Georgia, where it is literally a federal case to move a polling place from the old middle school gym to the new middle school gym. As a result, we do have plenty of disenfranchisement going on, because we keep voting in crummy old public buildings with inadequate parking, we don't add more polling places, and we don't redraw our local districts to reflect population changes.

I didn't even live in Georgia in 1964 when the Voting Rights Act was passed (and wasn't even of voting age at the time); if I'm alive in 2031, the earliest possible date the act may finally expire, I'll be 75 years old, and probably still voting in the same gym, because it will be cheaper to keep fixing the roof for another two decades than it will be to go to court and get permission from the Feds to vote someplace else.

[Me] Goodness, it sounds like Obama's South Carolina horror story about a school that was 150 years old. (I.e. 400 years younger than this one, and about 1,250 years younger than this one.) Perhaps the reason for that 150-year-old school being so dilapidated has something to do with the VRA . . .

Mr. Derbyshire — If you're a Southerner, it is always 1964. The only way you win elite approval as a Southerner is to renounce any and all values of the South — see Howell Raines of the NY Times, et al — and vigorously embrace liberal and leftist ideas and programs.

I'm always amused to consider how the elites would feel as the only white person at a black church for a funeral, a circumstance which I have encountered many times in the last 30 years as the people who used to work for my family have died.

taking the piss, right?

I don't understand a single idea from that post. What the hell is he saying?

More Health Care Myths [Mark Hemingway]

Why do Democrats push preventative health care as a cost savings measure at every turn? If you want to save the healthcare system money, drop dead of a heart attack at 50. Living to 88 on the other hand — that's expensive.

I'll just gorge on the pork the Repubs say the Dems are going to feed us. That'll kill me before I'm fifty.

I just got a Jonah Goldberg tattoo on my ankle. Now the whole world knows my political stance when I'm wearing sandals or flip-flops

Pop Quiz [Cliff May]
So was it Dick Cheney or Richard Perle who said:
Every drop of blood that was shed or is being shed in Afghanistan and Iraq is the responsibility of bin Laden and Zawahiri and their followers.

And was it Mark Steyn or Ezra Levant who wrote:

The number of Muslims whose death and dispossession al-Qaeda has caused in a number of years, in Kenya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Pakistan, and elsewhere, is far greater than the number killed or dispossessed by Israel in Palestine and neighboring countries in 60 years.

And was it Michael Ledeen or Norman Podhoretz who said that “the Muslims’ misfortunes are because of themselves,” not because of America?

The answer is none of the above — but the answer is in my column today.

...and it turns out it's Cliff May!

WHICH MUSLIM HAS KILLED MORE PEOPLE? ANSWER AT 11.

she's not corner and this is not really apropos of anything, but fuck ann althouse.

I am dying at the bit E bolded

I'm always amused to consider how the elites would feel as the only white person at a black church for a funeral, a circumstance which I have encountered many times in the last 30 years as the people who used to work for my family have died.

It's always such a drag when you try to show some noblesse oblige towards the domestics.

Although I did find out this morning that Conan O'Brien wrote his Harvard senior thesis on Flannery O'Connor thanks to the Corner, so I guess that's their little "The More You Know" good deed for the day.

The Cal Ripken President
By Ann Coulter

Are we going to have to hear about this for the next four years? Obama is becoming the Cal Ripken Jr. of presidents, making history every time he suits up for a game. Recently, Obama also became the first African-American president to order a ham sandwich late at night from the White House kitchen! That's going to get old pretty quick. More

jeez, nice job barack

And really, that entire column is a winner:

Of course one would never guess that things could be so dire after they watched Speaker Nancy Pelosi springing from her seat like a jack-in-the-box every 30 seconds during President Obama's appearance in her House chamber.

But since Nancy obviously doesn't comprehend depression -- economic or psychological -- I sought numerous definitions of an economic depression to see if people might be onto something.

There is no one conclusive definition of what constitutes a depression. However, many of the definitions included virtually every major economic hurdle we currently face, absent significant inflation or, in the alternative, deflation...
