I realize many sensible, sober, and pragmatic Republicans believe that President Obama is a “conventional liberal of a very familiar kind” — and they wish hyperventilating conspiracy theorists and language-raping Visigoths would just shut the hell up already with all their talk of coups and cabals and Marxist takeovers, because such nonsense rubs off on them, the good ones — but honestly: isn’t there just a little bit of doubt creeping into their collegial-minded cocktail-circuit heads by now?
And if not, why not?
Because racism, that’s why.
Obama is decidedly more virulent than any liberal with power in the country, ever.
Christie Todd Whitman is a bitter bitter upper-crust one-percenter slut what would like nothing better than to ass-rape this little country from ear to ear I think.
A party that doesn’t really exist and doesn’t have a candidate.
Compare this to a Grand Old Party and a herd of dimwits that can’t figure out how to get everybody on the Va Primary ballot.
We need to co-opt Will Rogers old line, “I don’t belong to any organized party, I am a Republican.”
Super Pacs are the new Parties.
Or how about Paul/Nader for the Libertarian line and Nader/Paul on the Green party one.
The appropriate reply to Williamson is conventional liberals have been socialist for a long time now.
I only got this far in the first link, but come on…
Electoral penance?
If we have to use religious language(and boy do we!), at least frame it properly. Here, like this:
“It is unlikely that those seeking politicians that won’t sin against the constitution are going to get what they are after.”
I’ll read some more, perhaps I’m being cynical.

Well. That settles it for me then.
Both Marx and Alinsky were evil.
Wow. It’s now pollyannaish to believe the TEA Party has no racist undertones. Nice.
my allan this huntsman thing could split the mormon vote
Huntsman out, backing Mr. Inevitable?
NYT twitter blab, lotsa salt.
J. Coddington Van Voorhees III could not be reached for comment.
If he’s not out and aboard the Romney Juggeraut, and should these reports of Huntsman considering a third party run and a third party actively searching for a candidate considering such a run turn out to be true, then it seems to me, purely for the sole good of defeating Obama( or all else is lost), that the only pragmatic thing to do is to support Huntsman.
john h wants to get on the romoney train
k, dinners over. Where was I…
Oh dear God. Heaven forbid we appear to be assaulting what Democrats hold sacred.
I’m starting to wonder if this guy has his tongue firmly in cheek.
Riiiiggghht. The smart move is to leave the structure in place, and tinker with the details. Genius really.
i like it when Huntsman drops out of the race
allan forbid if any rethuglican calls a demonrat idea/law/policy effin’ stupid. hey there be cocktail parties peeps.
I call them folks who should move to Canada. Come on Baldwin, you promised!
“And what do we call the 35 percent of Americans who support a Canadian-style single-payer health-care system?”
stupid, fringe?
romney’s got the mormon vote!!11!!
the ever-expanding mormon vote you mean
Good rhetorical question. Allow me to ask one. What do we call someone who shrinks from answering that honestly?
“What do we call someone who shrinks from answering that honestly?”

in the girl with the dragon ball z tattoo you get to see what happens to someone’s face when it gets smashed with a five iron
ouch
**spoiler alert**
With Steyn and Williamson on the same pages they get the chance to promote National Review as two periodicals in one.
Who the hell edits NR again?
This dude misses all three critical things in this battle. He thinks the enemy is the same as any other, a very familiar kind of Democrat. He thinks he’s smarter than your average anti-Romney voter, and he thinks the next president will be able to bridge the partisan gap in this country.
And then has the gall to use words like “fairy-tail” and “Pollyanna”. Sheesh.

marijuana-on-the-beach crimes are even gayer than andrew sullivan
Better to avoid retarded stuff like that, ‘feets. Sorta the opposite of art.
avoid which stuff I’m confuzzled
personally I hardly ever smoke the marijuana cause it makes me unsociable and hungry
Re-interpretations of schlocky Scandinavian sub-literature.
“marijuana-on-the-beach crimes are even gayer than andrew sullivan”
you don’t like british sharia?
Nah, pot is fine. It helps you play Madden, enjoy music, and get rid of the leftovers in the fridge.
Bad Scandi novels, on the other hand, just bring our brows ever lower.
oh… I’m a sucker for anything with wintry scandinavian landscapes I thoroughly enjoyed this I can’t tell you how much even
andy “the beagle boy” is one corrupt bastard. hope he finds an italy based boat.
If marijuana on the beach is wrong, five million lawyers, cops, prison guards, parole officers, foster parents/social workers, and judges don’t want to be right.
i never read the book the last scandi thing i remember reading was a small collection of Isak Dinesen short stories
I hope we’re not paying those five million people too much.
Pot on the beach laws are teh suck, especially if you paid the price and Mr. Power Glutes gets a pass because he sucks Obama cock.
Think I’m drawing a blank on Isak Dinesen.
Ima watch Smilla’s Sense of Snow tomorrow which is Dutch, so not quite Scandi, but in the neighborhood.
Nah, I’m sure all them work for altruistic reasons, not cash. What’s worrisome is when they let the thieves go ‘cuz of the overcrowding.
marijuana on the beach laws account for 6% of all parsley sales.
Heh. Probably 4% of all oregano sales.
Or is it oregano? Sometimes it’s hard to tell the herbs apart.
Especially in the dark on a beach.
:-D
;)
you mostly know her from writing Out of Africa then
they made a movie starring Meryl the Streep
Gad, that was a dull movie. Almost as boring as The English Patient.
I’m with Elaine Benes, “Just DIE already!”
Oh, yeah, okay.
I never saw either yet but if i had to pick between the crispy patient and the notebook which one should I do first?
Here’s a very short story about me and my ma. We walked out of both Out of Africa and The Color Purple in the theater because they were so boring.
She probably just needed a cigarette though. And I shouldn’t have been watching movies with rape subplots when I was 11 anyways.
That was a story about me and my ma.
It’s up to you, happy. Three hours that you’ll never get back? I’d toss a coin.
bh, your ma sounds like my cousin Margaret. Sorry, dude.
It wasn’t all bad, leigh. For instance, movie theaters had air-conditioning. That was pretty awesome.
The Color Purple was very America all my life I had to fight
plus bonus girl on girl action involving whoopi goldberg
Yes, and Oprah had her very own rape subplot and still became a very rich person. Similarly, no one in my family has neck tattoos yet.
Hope remains.
I keep hoping tats go the way of polyester leisure suits. Never to return.
tats and facebook both
I like tattoos. I’m going to get a Gadsden flag on my forearm. Or maybe on my neck, and an anchor on my forearm. Like Popeye.
Right now all I have is the Celtic dogs I had done when I was in Galway.
Before I die I am going to get “Please store in a cold, dark place” tatooed on my ass just to fuck with the undertaker on my way out.
You’re going to have to stay buff forever. My 80 yo uncle has tats he got in Japan. That hula girl is showing her age.
Don’t get the one on your neck, Jeff.
B. Moe lost his picture and his dot.
You’ve heard of link-bait? How about serr8d-bait?Maybe Tina Brown misses serr8d too?
It must have auto logged me in under my old account, weird.
Yep. Word Press continues to fuck with my head.
When you can’t even follow the loose tattoo rules of a parole hearing you should really consider the possibility that you’re making a mistake. Keep them under the sleeve. Keep them under the collar.
Neck tattoos? This is madness.
Madness.
I’m beginning to suspect that there is one more profession that has been stealthily taken over by those with sympathy for the progressive side of politics. Campaign consultants. It would explain a lot both this year and in 2008.
Perhaps a law that when they run a losing campaign they get that fact neck tattooed, or lose a finger.
I wish I could get rid of my tat.
oh I forgot also there’s a tattoo in the girl with the dragonball z tattoo
several, actually
***spoiler alert***
Three headlines at The Corner.
“Huntsman Endorsed by Largest Newspaper in S.C.”
“Out of the Hunt”
“Huntsman to Endorse Romney”
Should be an interesting editorial meeting going on.
Huntsman 3rd party would primarily be a magnet for disaffected Democrats.
S.E. Cupp has one of the funniest articles I have seen in a long time: Newt Gingrich, Natural Woman… Ouch!
Now smart money is on Perry being next, after Huntsman, but Newt may just surprise us by imploding sooner.
That’t the motivation, yes.
Newt’s implosion is underway, seems to me.
If only he’d managed to achieve it on time and under-budget.
I’m strong to the finich, cause I eats me spinach.
My favorite most boring movie ever was A Passage To India. But to be fair, I might have slept through some exciting bits.
Any work directed by Kevin Costner would fit right in there, Slart. Talk about a man in need of an editor.
