lol, this Arab intellectual think that Rich Lowry is some super-duper hardcore conservative instead of yet another corporate-aligned shitlib with a specialized grift
Rich Lowry, the take-no-prisoners conservative who writes for... Politico.

National Review senior editor Jay Nordlinger on a liberal Republican leaving the party: " Mr. Gonzalez, who turns 37 on Saturday, was the sort of Republican recruit the party once prized." Yes. Exactly. Also, the GOP I knew would have adored Alexander Vindman, Marie Yovanovitch, and other such people.

Norm Macdonald talks about the real "bravery" of fighting cancer alone, without burdening others with it
He frequently mentioned this Richard Farnsworth actor, who appeared in The Straight Story. Farnsworth had terminal cancer but never told anyone about it. We now see why he was so frequently on Norm's mind.
In his last standup special, Norm made a joke about cancer which no one realized was about his own looming death.

Norm Macdonald talking about his upcoming puppet act
Not as funny as I'd hoped. Premise 10, execution 7. In fairness, it seems like he just made this up off-the-cuff and then was surprised when he was later asked about it, so he just made up some more stuff off-the-cuff.

Meanwhile, the True Conservatives at National Review are, as usual, standing athwart the actual conservative movement yelling "Stop!" at it
They just love speech-policing those on the right, while making excuses for their friends, allies, and side-pieces on the left.

Anyone in Long Island or the nearby regions willing to adopt an adorable dog who's been in the shelter now for almost two years, and before that, was kept on a heavy chain outside?

Non-Forgotten 80s Mystery Click plus explanation of idiom
Here's the intro to that song
I realized one lyric of this 80s gem is "Catch as catch can," which I always misheard as... "Etch a sketch." And then I realized I didn't actually know what "catch as catch can" means.
It means "to do something by any means possible, and often haphazardly."

By any method that can be used; without any specific plan or order. Variants of this term go back as far as the fourteenth century ("Was none in sight but cacche who that cacche might," John Gower, ca. 1394) and appeared in John Heywood's 1546 collection of proverbs ("Catch that catch may"). More specifically, it is the name of both a children's game and a style of wrestling (also called freestyle) in which the wrestlers may get a hold on each other anyhow and anywhere.

National Review is letting out-and-proud liberal Democrat propagandist Jonah Goldberg write for them again. And the article they choose for this occasion? Jonah arguing that the unvaccinated are the reason for (and the justification for) Biden declaring fascism.
Sounds an awful lot like "The Jews are responsible for Hitler, you know. They brought Hitler down on themselves."
Remember, whenever you point out that these people take a lot -- a LOT -- of leftwing positions on social issues, they always claim they're merely "libertarian." But this is a strange sort of libertarianism -- what with constantly justifying and defending the most egregious assertions of state power over individual decisions. This "libertarianism," in fact, is indistinguishable from the statist, authoritarian left-liberalism preferred by these "liberarians'" swell New York Cocktail Party Chums.
Do you National Review defenders defend this, too? What would it take, exactly, for you to admit National Review is a neoliberal Deep State Fanzine?

I think those that wish for 100% vaccination should remain in their homes until that goal is achieved. They should never make contact with another person ever again, just in case they faked their vaccination cards. Posted by: TheJamesMadison at September 10, 2021 08:03 AM
