7. Voting should be more difficult, so people will value it more (though I do favor moving election day to weekend)

same with tweeting

Ballots should really be printed upside down

In recent days, I’ve been having trouble containing bile toward John Kasich. (My own, I mean.) I know that people have a right to run for president. They have a right to compete. But what’s Kasich’s game? What’s he after? Does he want to deny Cruz the nomination? Does he want to be Trump’s running mate? Whassup?

I was discussing this was a colleague yesterday. Here’s my theory — nothing profound, but here it is: Kasich wants to be president. Nothing wrong with that. He always has. Nothing wrong with that either. He was in Congress for almost 20 years. He has now been elected governor of Ohio (big and consequential state). Twice. And he thinks he oughta be president. And can be president.

Plus, he hears tick tock. You know how it’s said of women that, if they are childless and are nearing a certain age, they hear tick tock? Well, so it is with politicians, or would-be presidents. If not now, when? (Apologies to Hillel.) So,

how is this man allowed out without medication?

Maybe NRO posts ARE the medication.

"Nothing profound, but here it is"

time to put that on the masthead.

You know how it's said of murderers, when they have concealed a dead body under floorboards, they hear tick tock?

whassup?

This tweet definitely suggests many delightful ideas for a new game show.

Why Jeb Bush’s Endorsement Is a Game-Changer for Cruz

I have nothing against Melania Trump. I’ve liked all of Trump’s wives. I like Trump too, for that matter, except when he’s being vile, or trying to be president. I think Mrs. Trump No. 2 was my favorite. She was beautiful, like all of them, and I liked the way her husband said her name: “Mawla.” “Mawla, she’s turrific.” Melania was once a model (duh). She is Slovenian, and, trust me, even an average Slovenian is attractive. You ever been to Ljubljana? There are few other places like it. Pepperdine University comes to mind. And Ole Miss.

trust me, even an average Slovenian is attractive

source your quotes? xp

furry fandom

well that was a totally gross post caek thx
xp

oh come on jim, zizek has a certain... quality

i don't think many people have anything against melania, really. she seems sort of indifferent to her husband's campaign so i'm not so sure she shares his ideology, if you even want to call it that. i get the sense that she is not interested in being a public figure so much, and i respect that. sort of weird she would choose to marry the most vile man in america but hey

golddiggers gonna dig

she had to have seen more in him than that. she was a pretty well known model, i would think she could have landed a less repulsive rich guy

pleased to see this thread might live up to its 2012 and 2008 splendor

ya. trump's three wives were good in their own right, but i feel melania is the nicest and most willing to support his antics

can't wait til dems and repubs go at it later this year and trump pulls the "my daughter is jewish you buffoon!" card

trump's taking a heavy smearing campaign though. what's with people saying melania posed nude? i consider myself an advanced google user. i've googled for them and only saw the sexy gq ones, which are not nudes. ivanka's nudes were super easy to find, on the other hand

WORD???

Summary, and I quote: "Only intolerance can stop utopia now."

Watch as the students struggle to explain why an adult male shouldn’t enroll in a first-grade class, why he’s not a woman, why he’s not substantially taller, or why he’s not Asian. This isn’t moral relativism, it’s a completely fact-free new moral code, one based entirely on consent and harm. Or, I should say, immediate harm. Essentially the new morality is “you do you — so long as it doesn’t hurt me or someone else in a way that I immediately recognize.” The new immorality is any act of “intolerance” that purports to interfere with this radical autonomy.

The fascinating and disturbing thing is that a generation that so prizes its alleged love of “science” continues to hold to this primitive harm-based morality in spite of oceans of evidence that years of far more basic departures from traditional morality have caused (and are causing) enormous social problems and human suffering. Years ago no-fault divorce was a no-brainer, a recognition of individual free will. Fast forward two generations and broken families are a prime factor in virtually every negative economic, emotional, and cultural development in the United States.

More recently, cohabitation is a new norm, and couples who wait until marriage to live together are seen as odd. Yet cohabitation often causes young children to experience extreme family instability, exposes children to greater risk of physical and sexual abuse from non-parent boyfriends, and often leaves single mothers facing serial abandonment.

fuck this stupid false equivalency bullshit. gender is not an objective category like height or age,

whadayamean they've got three asians AND a black guy!

I remember when Lileks wrote funny web articles about 1950s interior decorating and design. He was good at it. I laughed. Now look at him.

Not a very well kept secret

Is Jay Nordlinger mournful? Am I? Maybe, but you can’t tell from this week’s supercharged podcast which powers through the news with the speed of a locomotive. We condemn and praise (Boehner, Ferrell, Coburn, many more), throw in a few anecdotes, and dispense justice with a swift (rhetorical) sword. This is the paradigmatic Charen/Nordlinger podcast. No holds barred.
