John Derbyshire is immune to the charms of Jennifer, she being over 16 and all.

Kajagoogoo did have several UK hits, and got to #78 with their followup to “Too Shy,” “Hang On Now,” in the US. Also, despite its fluffy shallowness, I recall enjoying hearing “Too Shy” back in the day. While perhaps fluffy and shallow, however, Douthat is in no way enjoyable.

The other Reese recently said: “I have the body I earned. I had two kids and I’m still strong and healthy.” Which means that at some point, she must have whispered huskily to her partner, “you know, I’m not on the pill.” Ross must be so jealous.

Did the survey ask any questions along the lines of “are you shallow enough to believe that someone’s musical taste actually matters?”?

The first Bon Jovi song I ever heard, “Runaway,” prompted me to change the words of the line “ooooooo, she’s a little Runaway,” to “weeeeeeeeee sound a lot like Loverboy.”

Yeah, if they remade “Midnight Cowboy” as some kind of weird spinoff of the “Beverly Hillbillies,” the part of Jethro Beaudine/Joe Buck would obviously have to be played by Rick Perry. As Joe himself asserted more than once, “I’m a HUSTLER!” Not sure who’d play Ratso/Dash Riprock, though.

Thanks. I should have read the post more carefully.

Not all banks are evil; not all credit unions are blameless. It would seem that the better path to take would be to remove money from the large, culpable institutions. Full disclosure: my wife works for a small Vermont bank that has not engaged in any of the practices that got us into this mess.

People are going deeply into student loan debt, but her students at least can take comfort in the fact that they have gotten the benefit of this woman’s wisdom.

Russell60 commented on the blog post Frank Bruni Also Finds Frank Bruni Unreadable
Bruni’s 2000 campaign coverage of Bush was all like that. After eight years of the idiot boy king’s reign, Bruni should have permanently hung his head in shame for his part in helping to bring it about.

Russell60 commented on the blog post Obama’s Deficit Plan is a Plan for Re-Election, Not the Opening Position for a Negotiation
Why is it that we never hear the words “great” and “Obama” in a sentence other than one that also includes the word “speech”?

To clarify, the presidential person would be separate from the president, kind of like the queen is separate from the prime minister in that other beacon of austerity, Great Britain.

Russell60 commented on the blog post Late Night FDL: The Bully Pulpit, At Last
The only enthusiasm I have ever seen for our president is when he gives a speech. We should have a presidential person who gives speeches, speeches that inspire people, which Obama’s seem to do in spite of their insipid content and delivery. Then, we should have a president who actually does things to back up the speeches.

Fun fact: your birthday and your anniversary both fall on the same day of the week this year as the events which they commemorate, fell.

I agree. As the old folk saying goes, “Mamma’s baby, Daddy’s maybe.”

I’m hoping that VT can do with single payer what they did with Civil Unions; start with something great that spreads elsewhere and gets even better. At Shumlin’s inauguration, he said, “we are too small to fail!”
The second side (for all of you who remember records with their “sides” and all) of “On the Beach” is classic uplifting/downer Neil Young. -
Russell60 commented on the blog post Tebow 2011, Palin 2012
Off topic, but I see from our all-important Entertainment Journalists that the less-chunky Reese Witherspoon plans to marry again. Presumably Ross will have a column on the socio-political significance of this event, and why it proves whatever his vague point is supposed to be.
