Excellent. More than glad to let this go. Apologies are always welcome.

O/T I refuse to trample through RedState or (god forbid!) Malkin but what the Breitbart (give it time, it will catch on) is the whole Brett Kimberlin mess about?

Perfect.

I was thinking that it would be great if George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina tried to track us all down. Frankly, my family is lousy with lawyers and it would be great if he sued me. Honestly, just reading the name “George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina” causes me mental distress. And the abusive language is causing me pain and suffering. Very, very expensive suffering…

Me too. No way would I have survived the Bush years without TBogg, Digby, Atrios, and Gilliard. Big old thank you from me…

As long as he’s rewriting the scriptures he might as well tackle the Beatitudes. Hows about “Blessed are they who give not to the poor but do force the poor to work hard for a living for theirs is the factory ownership of Heaven. Blessed are the greedy. Blessed are they who do whine about paying taxes for they shall be exempt.” Personally, I think that Rick Warren makes Jesus cry.

That was exactly what I was thinking. Maybe if I could figure out a way to carry a gun in my uterus, they’d leave it alone …

I found some animal ones at Staples a few months ago. I got a chicken. It’s the only flash drive I haven’t managed to misplace.

“Jesus, talk about a one hit wonder. This guy is the Kajagoogoo of editorial writing.”

I think you’re being generous. Douthat is no Kajagoogoo. He aspires to be a Kajagoogoo.

So, if I heard it correctly, she said that if you choose to get an abortion you are “an ageist bigot”. The mind reels.

Also, too, she kept yammering on about “choosing” birth control and, therefore, you don’t get pregnant. Hows about those ladies who get pregnant anyway? Any special dispensation for them? Probably a big old no on that. Those sluts were engaging in an activity that they knew could result “in the creation of life”. She’s thick-headed, pompous and has a voice that makes me want to stick spoons in my ears.

Hey… “your filthy mouth and provocative headlines” are why I’m here. In fact, I think we need more profanity and vulgarity. And snark. Way more snark.

Incidentally, no problem with comments at all but then I use Chrome instead of IE.

This particular Douthat fable always pisses me off. So — he was put off because she probably wasn’t a virgin? Was it performance anxiety that maybe she had more experience than he did? So he embellishes this story with how hideous and chunky the girl is. I only hope that somewhere there’s a woman that describes the encounter with Douthat being a younger, uglier, and somewhat slimmer Fatty Arbuckle.

And I, like Suedoise — “being of the internal gonad tribe” — don’t want to hear one more Penis-American lobbying to limit distribution of birth control pills. Enough already.

Although I would suppose that Wilson didn’t so much mind the divorce and remarriage of Ronald Reagan

Maybe he can just go out and yell at the kids on his lawn…

Thank you. That was exactly what I thought. It’s like they’re really working at it now — trying to be even more stupid and racist because, somehow, it’s more acceptable to their dumbswarm. Really, folks — just stop. You could merely phone it in at this point.

Nope. Too far up there. They don’t make a flashlight bright enough.

“The new great game in Asia, the global green meltdown, the crisis of the blue social model, the global contest between Christianity and Islam and a handful of other big narratives aren’t being covered by the mainstream media in a serious and useful way.” — I don’t know what “legacy media” he follows but it seems to me that those “narratives” have been beaten to death, dug back up, and then beaten some more.

Also, UVP, glad to hear about “squirmish”. (Sarah Palin makes me feel squirmish.)

That’s it. Christmas is hard anyway so I’ve basically got one nerve left and old McArdle is on it. I’ve been cooking for many a year now and still don’t own anything with pig ears or chicken feet. And who the hell really needs a frother? (Well, maybe Santorum but that’s another story.)

Asymmetricinfo? Really? Isn’t she just precious? Megan, in the world of asymmetric information, you are the one holding the empty bucket. (Well, empty head but it’s Christmas and I’m trying to be nice.)

That’s my thought too. However, I lived in Florida during the Jeb years and even the crazy Floridians grew to hate him. And he’s got some skeletons in the closet — business deals, family problems.

“Now that Herman Cain has humpty-danced out of the picture” — that’s so funny that I’m gonna have to use it in conversation.

Also, too, Ricky will probably never go away. But even if he did, it would leave a stain. And, anyway, he’s used to being behind. (It’s just too easy…)

Yeah, yesterday I came across Levinson’s mess via “Sadly” and was appalled. I read through the comments hoping someone would disagree but sadly, no.

I truly thought that pigs would fly before people saw Harry Potter as anti-Islam but, alas, there’s now pork in the trees. If Voldemort was real, he’d be a Republican. And he’d probably be running for president. And he’d probably be in the lead.

Well, we’re not sure Noonan saw a Mexican. All we know for sure is that she spotted a woman who appeared to be Hispanic. Then Nooners jumped to the conclusion that the lady was Mexican and ended up blessing her. Actually, Nooners pretty much tries to bless everyone she passes. Someone is really trying to get the Pope’s attention…

Just in case anyone is looking these things up — we’ve pretty much made a hash of Iain Pears’ name. I did it too. Just went back to look at which books I own and discovered the mistake.
