Favorite poster from NR's "The Corner"

It might be instructive to paste their responses to the 2006 midterms.

ah yes the thumpin

!

this exciting Sarah Palin

As opposed to that boring Sarah Palin.

She seems so invested in Sarah Palin.

Going to be a bad rate of return.

Haha, wow, going back to that cruise page, check this:

For many years, Holland America has stressed environmental awareness, conservation, waste reduction and recycling. Today, our environmental initiatives positively affect the lives of guests, staff, and the inhabitants of the many regions visited by our cruises and tours.

Our Five-Star ships are as environmentally sound as they are physically beautiful. We were the first to follow MARPOL standards for garbage processing and disposal (adhering to the standards three years before they became law).

Read the whole thing. Who knew they were such greens over at the NRO.

can we start an ILX cruise?

If you consider your cruise ship a floating resort which transports you from one port to another as an added bonus, everything will be placed in proper perspective. If you feel naked without your diamonds and emeralds, or a lot of cash on hand, then bring them along.

would only be worth it if it was the same as the NR cruise xp

Jonah Goldberg, Ramesh Ponnurru
and fellow cruisers

Why there's a full photo gallery even:

"If you need to bring your reminders that a cultural and financial gap exists between you and the citizens to and for whom you're speaking, be our guests."

Learn Yoga = namby-pamby urbanite/Californian nonsense
Enjoy High Tea = elitist "European" tradition
Take an arts tour = anti-western deviants peeing in jars
Pamper yourself in the Greenhouse Spa = spa warming is not man-made
Play paddle tennis = urban miniaturized sport oppresses land-use rights
Attend a wine tasting = elitist Georgetown cocktail-party nonsense
Attend an art auction = money for anti-western deviants peeing in jars
See a first-run movie = Hollywood liberal elites
Enjoy coffee and the New York Times = New York liberal elites
Relax in a hydrotherapy pool = water isn't "therapy" it is for lawns
Check out a book from the library = complimentary lighter included?

Why am I so not surprised by Jonah's casual look:

Swingers

Explorations Café, powered by The New York Times: a comfortable, coffee house environment where you can browse through an extensive library, surf the Internet and check email or simply read the morning paper.

Commies.

That 'coffee house environment' vs:

In every coffee shop ever

were those pics sent by Interpol?

"Take You On a Cruise" has a new resonance.

Anyway, if only David Foster Wallace could have written about THIS cruise.

so who's gonna forward this thread to k.lo? (subject line: you're a winner!)

i did not until this moment know that mark steyn was a dead ringer for seth rogen.

has anyone noticed how insane the corner is about everything Google recognizing holidays? They get all pissed off if Google doesn't celebrate, like, Columbus Day

In the tradition of President George Washington, a leader Thompson admired growing up, he walked away from an easy reelection victory in 2002 to seek new challenges.

Why can't there be people saying things like "In the tradition of Millard Fillmore."

"In the tradition of Millard Fillmore, he dithered while one half of the country tried to secede."

"In the tradition of Franklin Pierce, he did jack shit."

Steyn looks more like fellow Canadian and New Pornographer Carl Newman:

"In the tradition of Zachary Taylor, he was murdered and nobody knew or cared"

Meanwhile, Frum tells off his erstwhile colleagues.

lol im surprised he bothered

can we get frum to post on this thread

I totally owe him a beer for posting that.

lol of course us back-slapping him only encourages the corner further you realize

"us back-slapping him only encourages the corner further you realize"

Fixed.

Frum, come to our corner.

I have finally determined K-Lo's celebrity lookalike and the original says shit like COME INTO THE LIGHT, CAROL-ANNE, ALL ARE WECOME IN THE LIIIIIIGHT!

revelation! I've never seen a picture of k-lo before, that's not at all what I imagined she looked like, guess I expected she was a hispanic ann coulter or something. in reality she looks like the nun who taught us biology in 7th grade, which of course makes perfect sense.

anyone else catch ya boy frum going at rachel maddow tonight on her show?

I pictured her as looking like either of these two.

McCain Taxes [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

I hope people don't read this ominously: "McCain calls for no taxes on unemployment benefits."

10/14 11:12 AM

Christopher Buckley won't be on that cruise, it seems.

Kill him!

I don't think Frum was saying that Maddow's show was equivalent to someone at a rally yelling "kill him." I think she would have been better off asking him his opinion of the level of discourse at Fox, Headline News, or talk radio.
