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."

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.

who is that with penelope cruz

Director of Elegy.

Good analysis of that Maddow/Frum interview here.

The Christopher Buckley thing is kind of melting my brainz right now.

Yeah I'm inclined to agree, and I think people calling the interview a crushing defeat for Frum are a little loopy.

she wasn't nearly as artful as that one article suggests but he was pretty well smothered by his own cheap shot. granted if i had that show on in the same room i might not have looked up from my cheetos, ex to the next.

he wussed out, there really doesn't need to be a winner

Christopher Buckley -- jumped or pushed? The whole thing is so inside-baseball, then again so is this thread.

. "No doubt part of what upset these readers was the dim view Chris expressed of them in his first Daily Beast post," he wrote.

So wrong of him -- we all know how thoughtful and reasonable readers of the Corner are.

Advice to McCain [John J. Pitney, Jr.]

What demeanor should McCain display tonight? Angry doesn't work. Solemn doesn't work. ake-smiley doesn't work. Instead, McCain should go back to his roots and unleash his inner smart-aleck. If Obama accuses him of being erratic in a crisis, he should say: "So I'm erotic in a crisis? Who knew?"

So now we know the real name of Lord Custos.

Larry the Corner Guy

what the fuck

So to get ready for the debate, McCain should lay aside the notes, crack open a beer, and watch Animal House.

So McCain=Bluto, Obama=hippie dude playing guitar on the stairs during a party and then McCain can smash Obama's guitar

Levin responds to Douthat.

I sense the Wal-Mart (or is it Wal-Mart these days?) voters-thing isn't exactly working out in its first electoral introduction. It could be that McCain is just not explaining it the right way. But isn't that always the case? Christopher Hitchens says that about Marxism.

man, what a bitch!

Oh dear.

Why the defensiveness? That is a fact. Congrats to Frum.

Terrible flow.

did anyone post this new Jonah treat yet?

re: Ayers [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

I've had people come up to me more than a few times recently to say "I didn't realize how radical Obama is." They're hearing it because of Stanley Kurtz — with the help of Rush and Sean and Fox. They're hearing it because of Rush and Sean and Mark and Laura, etc., and Fox. They're hearing it because of Sarah Palin. I wouldn't give up. McCain probably just isn't the messenger for it — but I think Obama's radicalism needs to be part of the narrative of why McCain and not Obama — but it's a message that needs to be heard and I think people are increasingly receiving it. Ayers isn't the whole election, but he is a legitmate part of the reason why Obama should not be president. JUDGEMENT.
