Brent Bozell wants to play with the Washington Post and, in particular, Ezra Klein.
An okay start, I guess. But I can think of a few questions I’d like to see asked that didn’t make Bozell’s final list. For instance –
21) How did the experience of being repeatedly jammed into a gym locker as a tween influence your politics and sense of “progressive” advocacy?
22) Is it true that you can never really get the smell of jock strap out of your nostrils?
23) You little bitch.
Feel free to add your own questions in the comments.

Ezra,
Do you hate the retard, extra-chromosone conservatives with a burning passion, loathe them to the depths of your soul, or just detest & damn their very existence?
How often do you masturbate to the Newsweek cover featuring Sarah Palin in her biking outfit? Weekly, daily or multiple time a day?

24) Did anyone mention to you when you were making that face as a child that there was a possibility “it could freeze that way?”
P.S. the take on the Sinistrosphere is that there is a difference between “secret” and “private” (for goodhearted Leftists, it is left unsaid). Also, “plenty of other professions do it too and it’s no big deal.” I suppose they don’t mean to include police officers, defense contractors, or oil executives, who are always up to some black-hearted mischief, as we all know.

The smell of the jock goes away in time, it’s the shame that stays with me forever.
It’s that gnawing knowledge that I am not in control and I never will be.
I can rise to the top of my class, I can get my face on CNN, and even score with a few of those no-makeup DC lefty chicks with the dubious hygene and the faint whiff of insanity about them.
I can do all that, but deep inside I know that if I ran into Kurt and Steve from 3rd period social studies, they could still jam me in that fucking locker and there is not a damn thing that I could do about it.
That’s why I (who am definately not Spencer Ackerman) fantasize about tossing people through plate glass windows, because I am never, ever, going to be capable of tossing anyone through a plate glass window.
My own voice ehoes in my head still…STEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE! IT’S DARK IN HEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE! KURT? THIS ISN’T FUNNY, MAN! I’M SCAAAAAAAARED!

Are the members of JournO!-List above editing or even creating classified documents and then “leaking” them in such a way as to discredit a war effort?
Which Obama admin made the request?
Comment by Spencer Ackerman on 7/28 @ 5:00 pm #
The only thing those leaked documents discredit is the idea of having a bunch of punk-assed attorneys in charge of a war effort the way we do in Afghanistan.
It’s a good thing I’m not a general in the army or there would be broken safety glass windows frickin’ everywhere down at JAG.

Mr. Klein. Tell us, in your own words, how the phrase “mess of pottage” has come to have meaning in your life?
Compare and contrast with what a substantial portion of the electorate thinks of the phrase and it’s connection to “Journolist” and you?

I went and had a preliminary exam for bladeless Lasik today. I haven’t been able to see for years, and I hate hate HATE glasses. Never wore contacts, but I can guess I’d hate them just as badly.
I’ve been holding off because I wasn’t sure I wanted to see the America the Dems are molding in their own weak, petty, controlling image. But I figure what the fuck: I’m paying for HD channels, may as well get some use out of them.
Comment by happyfeet on 7/28 @ 5:48 pm #
I’m thinking of doing that… I didn’t know blades were ever involved let me know how that goes my vision plan here will kick in a little for it but not a lot.

With contacts, you’re lucky if you start wearing them when you’re young. I could put needles into my eyes now and hardly notice.

I would also ask Klein if he has any ideas of the best way to get out of a Sprint Air Card contract because not only is their 3g not the fastest wireless internet you can get it sucks so fucking bad it is unbelievable. I am on my third card in six months and not only can I not get a youtube to stream, but it takes on the average of about ten minutes for every minute of video to goddamn download.
No shit, I am going to give them one more chance, then what are my options if the product is just not even close to what they sold me?

I told you they filmed Atlas on my street and on Ventura not sure why yet we never saw any of the trailers what they give the important people so we think they were just getting location stuff but now I want to see the movie for sure.
In other tv news the tv show they shot in NG’s apartment has been shelved cause of I guess it wasn’t very great. But it was free money for her at a time when free money was a very nice thing so that’s just fine I guess but I was curious to see. Also while they were filming they said help yourself to the catering but she never did. I gave her a hard time about that. I bet there were shrimps.

Blue Crush was about cute girls (and maybe some silly hobby they had). If it was about cute girls getting kilt, it would have done better box office.
That’s gotta be a bad sign.

Comment by Spiny Norman on 7/28 @ 9:48 pm #
Rogie Vachon, pdbuttons!. My first favorite NHL player. He got a shutout in the first NHL game I attended in 1973. 355 victories, 51 shutouts, 2.99 career GAA. Rogie the Goalie is by far the greatest goaltender not in the Hall of Fame.
It’s a crime, I tells ya!

A nice piece here on Vachon. It’s no exaggeration to say that he’s biggest the reason the Kings are still in LA. The team very likely would have folded or moved in the ’70s if he hadn’t brought the fans in.
That’s a good list pdbuttons. Roy was simply amazing, and the sole reason that Gretzky and the Kings didn’t win the Cup in 1993.

The Triple Crown Line. 100 points each in back-to-back seasons.
Charlie broke his leg in ‘81, when it looked like they had a great shot in the playoffs.

it was the seventh game and they put gretzky and mario lemuu on the same line/ with phil coffey and ray bork on defense and there was a minute 26 left and it was tied score and we won/ i don’t know the name of the otre winger/ it wasn’t phil henderson though

The Edmonton Oilers of the 1980s were the best hockey team ever. The Canadiens have had some great teams, and the Islanders were great in the late-70s, but damn, the Oilers’ starting five were all first-ballot Hall-of-Famers.
Which makes the Miracle on Manchester all the more remarkable.

Fuck, you’re getting Lasik? I’d sell one of my kids for Lasik. Right now the oldest is 20% off but you’ll get special financing on number 3 and it would even out. I can’t see well enough to tell them apart so take your pick.

WRT Lasik; I can check prices for you here, if you wish. Alot of elective surgery performed here for foreigners at about half the cost or less. I had a friend that had triple bypass for less than the co-pay for the same procedure done in the U.S. The operation was performed by a surgeon trained in the U.S.

As noted upthread, you can have one eye left slightly weaker, and you will be able to read just fine. Eventually, though, you’ll need reading glasses anyway. I had all the tests and decided that I’m going for the full distance vision. I don’t need to see 20/20 up close; the font that requires such is terribly terribly tiny, anyway, and doesn’t appear as such frequently in nature.
