NRO's The Corner: Rolling Bile, Spit, and Gnash Thread

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.

We 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.

Perhaps, 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.

xpost -- This all needs to shift from Ship of Fools to Lord of the Flies.

on every post i imagine nordlinger writing the sentence "oh and i murdered yet another woman as well, tra la" and then deleting it

(Line from Caddyshack.)

dirkbelig bringin it

"break up the vertical line"

what kind of surrender-monkey shit is this

oh man, i just came over here to post that comment. creepiest ever.

"If only she had bigger tits, I, DirkBelig, wouldn't have to picture her beautiful face when I beat off!"

something about (Line from Caddyshack.) is the funniest, saddest thing ever

Each of Nordlinger's bullet points is pollable.

I’m working on a column on the mess at Penn State,

can't wait

"how can I pin this on Obama and the permissive liberal cultural?"

This explains the light posting.

Ramesh Ponnuru, Jonah Goldberg, Victor Davis Hanson, Roman Genn, Mark Steyn, David Pryce-Jones, Jay Nordlinger, Fred Thompson …

They are all here — and so many more. Have already run into old friends, loyal NR cruise-goers, and some new ones, in the hallways here. — Live from the USS NR.

I finally got to meet Mr. & Mrs. @andrewklavan in person last night, after all these years …

Cannot wait for you to join us on one of these! There will be #nrcruise Twitter (@kathrynlopez) updates, connection permitting.

if I ever make a million dollars me & a few regulars of this thread are going to go on the NRO cruise, my "treat" but whoever's got a line in on heavy tranquilizers will have to hold up his or her end of the deal

I always have been and will remain a strong supporter of more Randy Travis, whatever venue.

An ideal world for Klo would consist of sweater vests, baked goods, and sexually ambiguous cowboys.

Shall we create a new thread? This one's almost two years old, and a new cycle's about to begin.

Go for it!

You have the honors! I'm stuck for titles this morning.

Mods...lock, please?
