Favorite poster from NR's "The Corner"

haha all the VDH lovers have a tough choice, i just noticed

Who is his mother?

The weird thing is I end up feeling sorry for Jonah Goldberg even though he's reprehensible because his mother is so disgusting and horrible that he never really had a chance in life.

Guyz, in the time we've fucked around here there've been six dozen batshit posts at The Corner.

btw this is the best, I think:

Projecting through the Screen [Rich Lowry]
A very wise TV executive once told me that the key to TV is projecting through the screen. It's one of the keys to the success of, say, a Bill O'Reilly, who comes through the screen and grabs you by the throat. Palin too projects through the screen like crazy. I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America. This is a quality that can't be learned; it's either something you have or you don't, and man, she's got it.

man olbermann loved ^^this shit more than anything in the world

he said "you know rich, if you sat at home and masturbated during the debate, that's your business. but you didn't have to tell us about it"

i must say it was really fucking weird and creepy to hear olbermann say masturbate

that is GOAT

other favorites: steyn's faggot jokes about andrew sullivan, and their respect and admiration for hillary clinton unveiled earlier this year.

C|D: Being so annoying/outraged by something that you actually send an email to one of these guys explaining why their position is retarded.

real actual favorite: derb's pro-choice argument, which see-sawed between commonsense, logical human understanding and "what should it trouble me what some skank does with herself?"

xp dud i'd say

aaahahahaha, I've done this twice with Goldberg and twice with K-Lo.

Oh Jesus, that's going to wind up in "posts out of context," isn't it.

After reading:

The Obama Discount [Jonah Goldberg]

I have no idea whatsoever if there's merit to this, and if there is how much merit, but lots of email like this:

When are people going to start talking about the REAL reason the markets are down - Obama up in polls. If I was McCain, I'd start telling people, "If you want to lose more money, vote Obama."

I sent Jonah an email explaining the difference between correlation and causation.

Three Ethnomusicologists Walk into a Bar... [Mark Steyn]

I have had a distressingly large number of reader e-mails on the lines of the following:

So they're against "the Use of Music as Torture?" Really? You mean they've decided to oppose "American Idol?"

Look, that’s not funny!

Okay, if you replace “American Idol” with “The Celine Dion Christmas Album”…

No, it’s still not funny.

Anyway, Andrew Sullivan walks up to this ethnomusicologist and says, “Do you know Bush is using sleep deprivation at Gitmo?” And the ethnomusicologist says, “No, but if you hum a few bars I’ll play it on my bone flute.”

OH SHIT

i remember richard brookhiser having a much higher profile back in the 90s, i had forgotten about him. he doesn't seem as horrible as most of these people. he is very ugly tho.

P.P.S. on Biden, Etc. [Jay Nordlinger]
I wonder if you remember our lines — conservative lines — from the Quayle-Gore era. I do. Quayle could do nothing right, of course. If he said, “Good morning,” the media would mock his pronunciation of “morning.” And what about the genius Al Gore? He said, “A leopard never changes his stripes.” He translated our national motto — E pluribus unum — “Out of one, many,” which is bassackwards. At Monticello, he looked at busts of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, et al. and said, “Who are these people?” Etc.

Anyway, that’s enough whining for now — until my next post.

Brookhiser became ill with testicular cancer in 1992 and smoked marijuana in order to remove the nausea that chemotherapy gave him. (Before that, he smoked marijuana in college about 10 times, he said.)

"Because of the marijuana, my last two courses of chemotherapy were almost nausea-free", he said in 1996. "My cancer is gone now, I was lucky."

On March 6, 1996, he testified before a Congressional committee about using marijuana, urging the committee members to support decriminalization of marijuana for medical purposes.

"My support for medical marijuana is not a contradiction of my principles, but an extension of them", Brookhiser told the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Crime. "I am for law and order. But crime has to be fought intelligently and the law disgraces itself when it harasses the sick. I am for traditional virtues, but if carrying your beliefs to unjust ends is not moral, it is philistine."

K-Lo quoted an e-mail I sent her, but I can't remember what it was. Something in the 2004 debates.

i emailed someone once and didnt get an answer

I once called Jonah on something in an email and he emailed me back to claim that his post was really just "a joke." He was being sarcastic. I've noticed he uses this claim a lot when he gets called on being an idiot.

This was not me:

TOUGH AUDIENCE [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Another e-mailer:
Look, I'm just an old M1 tank guy, but trapping the 4-wire is NOT a perfect landing. That pilot is going to be ribbed forever about almost doing a touch-n-go with the POTUS in an eject seat. It looked great to the unschooled eye, but to the guys who drop tail hooks, it was a grade "D". OTOH, our CinC looks just like another fighter jock. Fit, trim, looked like he was entirely in his element. The right man for the right time.

Now, it's far more likely that the causation and correlation suggested by some readers is backward: the markets tank for non-political reasons and Obama does well as a result, rather than Obama does well and then the markets tank. Still, I think Pethokoukis' point that Obama's success may make investors more pessimistic about the future has some plausibility to it.

Yay. My email taught him the difference between cause and correlation!

hahahaaaa

thats unbelievable

i thought he would say he was just wishful thinking

You Stay Classy! [Jonah Goldberg]

Here's a "good" one from a reader:

I'm Jewish and have got to say watching right-wing morons like yourself over the last 8 years including your most recent post about Obama and the market really sends chills down my spine. We wonder why 6 million of us were killed in the '40's by the people of Europe, you and the other Jewish right-wing parasites are showing me what happened. Obviously people like you incited them, like you are inciting people now. Keep it up you fat-assed ignorant moron. Keep it up.

Your mother should be ashamed of herself, and should kill herself today for having produced an ignorant scumbag like you.

I pray for our people, and hope you die tonight.

Ok. Come clean. Which one of you sent this email?

so obviously shakey mo

lolololol

i never knew shakey was jewish!

The more you know.

Re: Omnibus Response (on Radicalism) [Andy McCarthy]

Second, and relatedly, Obama's radicalism, beginning with his Alinski/ACORN/community organizer period, is a bottom-up socialism. This, I'd suggest, is why he fits comfortably with Ayers, who (especially now) is more Maoist than Stalinist. What Obama is about is infiltrating (and training others to infiltrate) bourgeois institutions in order to change them from within — in essence, using the system to supplant the system. A key requirement of this stealthy approach (very consistent with talking vaporously about "change" but never getting more specific than absolutely necessary) is electability. With an enormous assist from the media, which does not press him for specifics, Obama has walked this line brilliantly. Absent convincing retractions of his prior radical positions, though, we should construe shrewd moves like the ostensibly reasonable Second Amendment position as efforts make him electable.

I for one am especially grateful to learn the differences between Maoism and Stalinism.
