Huzzah!
(Yeah, I’ve settled for blogging less rather than retiring, but I started at a slower pace to begin with…)
TBogg – Sarah Palin at CPAC. You can’t pass that up!

And Ross will say, “No – unless you convert to socially conservative Catholicism.”

Batocchio commented on the blog post The Surprise Return Of Friday Night Random Ten
Coriolanus is fantastic. In my annual film roundup, I ranked it one of the top four films of 2011 (it had a criminally limited release).

Batocchio commented on the blog post The 3 Stages Of Republican Despair As Performed By Jay Nordlinger
It’s cute the way he thinks he knows economics. Either that, or he assumes the “good economics” means “whatever benefits the country club Republicans the most.”

Neat! L.A. does pretty well, but this looks great. It’s sad they couldn’t get more political backing.

Nice!

Batocchio commented on the blog post Conventional Whiz Kid
Yes, Warren eloquently invokes very old ideas about the social contract central to our nation’s founding, so she’s a lightning rod, while Chris Christie’s love of being a bully and yelling at people brings us all together. What an idiot.

Batocchio commented on the blog post Angry Househusband Explains It All To You
Househusband briefly made me think of Mr. McBargle, but “signified” and “interpretive communities” confirmed it as Goldstein. His brand of lit crit mental masturbation is very distinctive. Maybe it snows the rubes into thinking Goldstein’s very learned, but jeez, if you’re going to bullshit, at least don’t be boring.
(BTW, in partial defense of the MLA, if Goldstein tried that crap in any decent undergrad English class, he’d be mercilessly mocked.)

Batocchio commented on the blog post The Romney Boathouse Is A Lot Nicer Than That Dump You Live In
When Romney is not forcing his grandkids to perform Mountain Meadows Massacre: The Musical! he gets them to mow his lawn because it’s cheaper and politically less risky than hiring brown people.
Okay, that’s just wrong. I’m laughing my ass off here. Bravo!

Batocchio commented on the blog post Orly? No, really…
TBogg, did you read Orly Taitz’ candidate statement, which by random order (so they say) it ran first? Oh, what comedy.

Aha. So, according to Dolan, consenting adults must seek Catholic permission before having sex, but men raping children is pre-approved.

I guessing the first Kindle was dropped in water in some fashion, perhaps in the bathroom… But the first rule of Kindle Fight Club, is, well, ya know.
The Remains of the Day and Never Let Me Go are both lovely, elegiac and tragic novels, and both films are very good. But as with say, King Lear, I find I have to feel up for them and they stay with me long afterward. I remember I had to put The Remains of the Day aside for a few days after finishing the first major section.
Patches, Carey Mulligan is excellent in An Education and Shame, but I think her best performance to date in is Never Let Me Go. The same goes for Andrew Garfield. (It’s the second film I reviewed in this post, although I had to mention the-big-reveal-that-everyone-pretty-much-knows-and-isn’t-really-much-of-a-spoiler, but there’s your warning, if needed.)

Batocchio commented on the blog post “The world, that understandable and lawful world, was slipping away.”
one in which Enlightenment principles are overthrown
?!? I guess this is more “liberal fascism” bullshit, since liberalism is pretty much synonymous with the Enlightenment, and conservatives have repeatedly shown their belligerence toward empiricism and the reality-based community (global warming, economics, tax policy, evolution, the ineffectiveness of torture, weapons of mass destruction, Kenyan births, terror babies, gay marriage plots, and Glenn Beck’s wisdom, etc.)

Batocchio commented on the blog post It’s Quiet. Too Quiet…
Wow! Thanks for posting that. It’s lovely.

Batocchio commented on the blog post They… Call… Me… MRS. Twitchy!
The thing that’s so striking about Malkin is that she’s so utterly sincere in her hatred of her fellow Americans.

Batocchio commented on the blog post Exclusive Video Of President Obama Taunting American Soldiers
I really don’t care if the president has any athletic ability, but especially given the hounding he’s gotten, that was one sweet shot.
