Andrew Sullivan's "New" Blog At Time

Okay... I see the beagles, but not the box of Kleenex for the chronic brochitis. Apparently now caricaturists think it's puckishly ironic to put hair on your lid that actually isn't there. I guess it's the new equivalent of drawing you in a Rangers jersey with missing teeth.

As for content... well, he links this video of William Shatner doing "Rocket Man" that I linked twice in the past month and a half.

There's a link to this year-old James Fallows piece on Iran from the Atlantic Monthly, which I'm guessing is okay, but I haven't read yet.

He's also now calling Bush "King George."

And he says Mickey Kaus has "issues" about gay men, due to the fact he didn't like Brokeback Mountain and doesn't consider it a likely crossover hit. St. Andrew of the Sacred Heart-Ache deems BBM a "good date movie."

Now, this isn't the same (I'm not likening rape to gay sex), but I made the mistake of taking a first date to Strange Days a long time ago. That was also a "good date movie," as it's all about a brutal rape (and murder, IIRC). Which is exactly the sort of imagery you going through a woman's mind when she's out for the first time with a stranger.

Is BBM a good date movie? Well, I suppose, if you want to put your date in the mind of rock'em sock'em anal sex. Hey, if it works, it's a great date movie.

Ohhh, yeah. I can see why he's being paid by Time now.

Thanks to Slublog for making me bother.

Related and Annoying: Looking around Craigslist, I noticed Talking Points Memo was looking for an unpaid intern.

Qualified candidates will be able to receive school credit.

Really? How does that work? I'm thinking of taking on an intern myself. I mean, besides Allah.

I envision it as a Kramerica-like think tank. Like a Greenpeace... for evil.

Nothing about how Kerry was the more conservative candidate in the general 2004 election?

Posted by: Moonbat_One on January 18, 2006 10:27 AM

well his archives are attached, so yeah, it's still there.

Slublog also says his archives are now searchable... which is a big problem for St. Andrew. He contradicts himself every other week and it's been a bitch to prove this because there was no search function on the site.

Posted by: ace on January 18, 2006 10:29 AM

Searchable Sully archives? Heh. . . that's gonna be funnn.

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

What a bizzare little world we live in where it seems normal to accuse a guy of having issues with gay men. Hey they are free to do the dirt shoot thing as far as I'm concerned, more women for the rest of us. But it isn't normal and now amount of broken baking is gonna make me think it is.

That being said Allah, if Ace breaks out the humidor...run.

Posted by: JackStraw on January 18, 2006 10:39 AM

The Fallows piece was actually pretty ridiculous. He took the most anti-interventionist folks he could dig up for an ostensibly nonpartisan format and had them conclude: We're DOOMED! There's nothing we can do! We'll only make things WORSE!

Surprise meter: zero.

Posted by: someone on January 18, 2006 10:49 AM

Btw, does this explain why you're now with PajamaAds?

Posted by: someone on January 18, 2006 10:51 AM

OK, to totally monopolize this comment thread:

You know, having an intern or two at Ace o Spades HQ might not be a bad idea... You could have one make sure you don't say "fuck" while on the air.

Posted by: someone on January 18, 2006 10:54 AM

Sully was on The Colbert Report last night. I just caught the very last part of the celebrity interview part - most of which are pretty funny - and Sullivan sucked, if you'll pardon the pun. He was going on about gay marriage and told Colbert he was 'engaged'. Without missiing a beat, another pardonable pun, Colbert told him to send pictures of the honeymoon!

Posted by: Madfish Willie on January 18, 2006 10:55 AM

Damn Ace... advertise much?

Posted by: Madfish Willie on January 18, 2006 10:57 AM

When does Sullivan make his guest appearance in 'Family Circus'?

I'm guessing one of those times when the dad is away and Billy does the panel.

Posted by: BumperStickerist on January 18, 2006 11:25 AM

Yeah, saw the Sully bit on the Colbert report too, not impressed at all.

Looks like the cartoonist is the guy (Terry Colon?) who used to do the cartoons for Suck, which I generally thought was fairly clever. Though I wonder if I would still find it so after my political conversion.

Posted by: Lapsed Leftist on January 18, 2006 11:48 AM

Yeah, LL. He also does cartoons for Fortean Times.

It' s him, or somebody imitating his style.

Posted by: S. Weasel on January 18, 2006 12:12 PM

That cartoon is too calm. He needs to be crouching on the desk, shrieking and weeping.

Now, this isn't the same (I'm not likening rape to gay sex), but I made the mistake of taking a first date to Strange Days a long time ago.

How did Allah take it?

Posted by: JFH on January 18, 2006 03:35 PM

Hey Ace, you may want to get Allah's blue dress dry cleaned yourself. I'd hate to say I told you so.

And don't go pointing your finger at us later.

Posted by: matterson on January 18, 2006 03:46 PM

Greenpeace for evil? Isn't that an oxymoron?

Posted by: The Real Steve on January 18, 2006 03:54 PM

and Sully's first new Time article in the latest issue is all about Bush's spying activities. I guess when Sully was actually on our side and against the Islamists way back in 2001, Time had little use for him. Now that he's climbed on the bash Bush all the time bandwagon, Time is very willing to support and publish him.

Posted by: Pervy Grin on January 18, 2006 04:04 PM

That's one nice looking blog. I am so stealing that web page design.

Posted by: Andrea Harris on January 18, 2006 07:30 PM

You know, that cartoon looks like the cover art from the Jerky boys CD's.

Posted by: Mike on January 18, 2006 09:44 PM

I went to see "Blue Velvet" with a first date. That was cringe-making.

Posted by: Yehudit on January 19, 2006 05:23 AM

Have you heard? GRENPEACE was fined $7000 for damaging a coral reef off the PHILIPEANS last year and their were also fined for leaking deseal fuel in a river in ALASKA yeah look at GREENPEACE their are big time poluters and big time hypotcrits

Tomorrow is March 25th, "Tolkien Reading Day," because March 25th is the day when the Ring is destroyed in the book. I think I'm going to start the Hobbit tomorrow and read all four books this time.
The only bad part of the trilogy are the Frodo/Sam chapters in The Two Towers. They're repetitive, slow, and mostly about the weather and terrain. But most everything else is good. Weirdly, the Frodo-Sam chapters in Return of the King are exciting and action-packed and among the best in the trilogy. (Though the chapters with everyone else in Return of the King get pretty slow again. Mostly people talking about marching towards war, and then marching towards war.)

It's a heavily armored (the pilot sits in a titanim bathtub) slow-and-low loitering plane with a massive minigun firing depleted uranium rounds. The capability it brings is the ability to just fly big circles over the country waiting for a target to present itself. This is a weapons platform for eliminating vehicles and personnel. Its first task might be strafing the seas, clearing out any remaining attack boats and minelayers.
Update: My ballpark estimate for a reasonable cost for a wildlife overpass (suitably padded to sate the thirst of Democrat grifters) was $15 million. Turns out, that was a good estimate. That's how much it cost Denver to build one.

Some people liked Candace Owens because she was a black woman who told hard truths about BLM and black criminality. But this was always a grift. She started out as a race hustler for a grift, then hustled race the other way to grift conservatives, and now she's back to being a race-hustler for the left again. Specifically, she is now claiming that people pointing out that she is legitimately low-IQ and can't pronounce half the words her AI-generated teleprompter script points out to her is racist and just Ben Shapiro's way of saying the n-word without quite saying it. You see, you can only say that black people are smart, and if you see a dumb one that doesn't know how to pronounce simple words while she poses as an investigatory journalist, you have to pretend she's actually smart or you're a racist. Weird, that doesn't sound very conservative, let alone "#Based," to me. To prove how much she hates racism, she then says that Ben Shapiro's Jew ancestors were masters of the slave trade.
