how exactly he had gone from Occidental to Columbia to Harvard Law School
basically, because Obama fucked around at Occidental and didn't have a STELLAR GPA, they are saying he didn't deserve to be at Columbia or Harvard, even though (AFAIK) he became more serious about his academics and got much better grades as a result once he got to Columbia

it has also been implied by certain right-wing figures that occidental, despite having produced a republican vice-presidential candidate, a member of monty python, the managing editor of the new yorker and at least one blogger, is not a good enough school for its students to transfer to columbia

Youth versus age was seen only in terms of administrative authority, not in terms of the erotic power of youthful beauty.

yeah the middle stretch of this thing, where he relates all of this tales of departmental basic-instinctism committed by women in grad school, is just beyond

the erotic power of youthful beauty reminds me of the erotic beauty of you holding yourself (or two magnificent parts of yourself) in the faded glow of the night’s light

KJL still beating the Santorum drum
do wish Santorum would have his moment. As people keep commenting, there’s a there there and it shows, consistently. And no one has voted yet, and he is putting in a lot of work into this run, tirelessly campaigning. We’ll see.

Kathryn, I don't understand why you keep dragging Taylor Swift into discussions about conservative politics. What does she have to do with the conservative movement or the Republican Party? She is a commercial music artist who sells records to teen and tween girls. I don't see any political connection - we are talking about apples and oranges here. For some reason you seem to have been brainwashed into believing that Taylor represents your side in a culture war, a belief for which there is no evidence. Your political commentaries raise many good points, but I think you are mistaken on this issue.

The irrepressible Nordlinger reviewed his own magazine's cruise. Excerpt:
Where were we? In any case, our first panel, aboard the ship, is with Paul Johnson and David Pryce-Jones. Do two people constitute a panel? I guess not — in any case, we had a nice talk. We talked about matters artistic and architectural: Versailles, Chartres, the Eiffel Tower. We talked about the royal wedding (Wills ’n’ Kate). We talked about Syria, America, and sundry other matters.
Were P.J. and P-J brilliant and inspiring? Can you make a shoe smell? (Line from Caddyshack.)

On a peaceful afternoon, floating down the Seine, I hear a church bell in the distance. I check my BlackBerry, thinking a text has come in. (My signal, or whatever the word is, sounds rather like a bell.) Is that a bad sign — that one is too BlackBerry-oriented?
I suppose there are better ways to pass an afternoon than to float down the Seine, talking with Priscilla Buckley and Paul Johnson. But I can’t imagine there are many . . .
I meet a young woman, from the eastern side of Germany. She was born shortly before reunification. I think how lucky such people are: to have avoided a life under Communism. Good timing.

Annie G.: 11/10/11 09:29We stopped watching the debates at about #3. We don't get to hear EACH candidate address EACH issue, so what is the point? It's like watching the teacher pick her favorites over and over.Are we the only ones with a DVR? As with most programs, we recorded the awards show to be able to skip through the commercials (and bands we don't like) tonight.And Taylor Swift is tiresome, not a country musician, and all her songs sound alike.[Approved commenter] DirkBelig: 11/10/11 11:42Perhaps, but she is super super cute and if she had a larger bust - nothing crazy, just a generous B-cup would break up the vertical line - she'd be one of the most beautiful women on the planet. And the fact that she's not a party girl train wreck like Lindsey Lohan is a plus.
