Favorite poster from NR's "The Corner"

oh wow and i missed this gem!

The Suckers of the World [John Derbyshire]

Mark (Krikorian):

Good post on the lunacies of our refugee policy. As I'm sure you know, the whole business is addled with fraud — see here, for example. Americans don't realize the lengths people in foreign parts will go to for a U.S. immigrant/refugee visa. People with settled lives in non-crisis regions will uproot themselves and move to a refugee camp, just on the rumor that the camp inmates have been marked for resettlement in the U.S.

We are the suckers of the world.

i mean, wow.

wow

no one anywhere in the world wants to live in a refugee camp, wtf

left even of Pelosi and Reid

farther left than harry reid, the anti-abortion mormon???

the mind boggles!

This is the one morning I desperately want to read what the Corner has to say and it appears to be down (or at least it won't load for me.) Too bad.

Ha, it loads but there is nothing there but a vast void and some numbers.

obama finally broke their branes.

Of all the things Obama can be blamed for, breaking their brains is not one of them. That implies they were functioning properly at some point in their lives.

it's back up, w/k. lo all tut-tutty about rep. wilson. we are not the house of commons!

About Wilson [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

A friend e-mails a sentiment I'm hearing a lot of: "I think back in the old days, 18th and 19th centuries, that sort of stuff was the norm ... I say we go back."

Well, it would beat the "bipartisan," "my friend" nonsense. And would get people watching C-SPAN.

I'm thinking myself this morning. . . let's strip women of the right to vote, just like back in the 18th Century, I mean that stuff was the norm. . .

i might even agree with her if i thought for one second that the next time we a republican president the cornerites won't go back to treating him like the sun king and demanding obeisance to his majestic office.

anything to get people watching c-span

Watching C-SPAN to see the occasional caning would be like watching NASCAR to see the occasional crash. I.e. still boring.

wait they didn't even have tv in the 18th and 19th centuries!

good point, harbl

The 18th and 19th centuries didn't have K-Lo either.

i agree with her, then

gahhhhhhhhhh

I could see her serving William F. Buckley, Jr. a glass of chilled sauvignon blanc, his eyes twinkling merrily upon noticing her tri-cornered hat.

"tri-cornered hat" is the worst euphemism ever

xpost Well, we're fantastizing about the 18th century, so let's change the sauvingon blanc to a nice glass of madeira, shall we?

lollllllllllllll HI DERE

tri-cornered tarp

tri-cornered TARP.

My favorite post:

A Job for Hollywood? [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

An e-mail:

Health care needs Gary Sinese or someone like him — calm, quiet, trustworthy — to make a commercial like this —

"I've done pretty well in TV and movies, and I'll never have to worry about healthcare for myself and my family whatever the government does, but I know for many of you who watch me that's not true. And that's why I think you should know that he may be a nice guy, but Pres. Obama isn't levelling with you on healthcare."

Follows a clip from the 9/9 speech, followed by Gary with a CBO (or other) fact check.

Close with "because you need to know".

This is how Reagan would have done it.

lolllllllllll

They could have him wearing lots of makeup like in Mission to Mars, now that was an awful movie. If anyone tells you differently, scream at them "You lie!"...

Seriously, what was up with the eyeliner and foundation in this movie? And the O'Connell.

seriously, it's going to be hard to top this, ever

Give it time.

Come on, Ned, you have to admit that's pretty amazing

It is, but at the same time, it's almost what I would expect from her -- something completely batshit that she appears to be arguing for with a straight face.

lollllllll at wanting to pick a fact-check fight

Lowry has the right idea:

Wilson [Rich Lowry]

It's not even a close call: Shouting at the president during a joint address to Congress is juvenile and uncivil. Now, cocktail-party invitations can be addressed to NR World Headquarters. I'll have a double vodka straight-up. Belvedere, please.

He'd need to get drunk to try and forget his passing Palin fling.

Maybe those double Belvederes provoked the starbursts of joy.

No Logo Art for 9/11 [Jonah Goldberg]

Over at Google.

09/11 08:07 AMShare

whole damn thing is like that today

Boy, the NRO people are OBSESSED with the Google logo and when it changes and what for. I mean literally obsessed.

So what would they propose for a 9/11 Google logo? An extra "l", with smoke billowing out of both?
