Yodeling Bill and the Young (re)Publicans are on my spotify list, spinning endlessly...interestingly, they spin counterclockwise.

"You’ll certainly want to hear Ypres-Bugger’s account of how “standing athwart history, yelling ‘Stop!”” was originally “Bleeping athwart bleep, yelling bleep!”

reminds me of the old Lenny Bruce bit about being arrested for 'blah, blah, blah'. "he said blah blah blah?" 'yes, your honor, blah blah blah." "dammit, it feels good to say blah blah blah, you blah blah blah!"

“Donald Trump, who we do not support, goes too easy on the gays, who we also do not support, unlike Ron DeSantis who is willing to go full fascist on all the Woke, though fascism is something we do not support. We hope we have now clarified National Review’s position to you, our potential marks – we mean, our valued potential subscribers.”

Roy, “Yours in Christ” as the complimentary close is absolutely the cherry on top, lol.

Ah! The NRO cruises of yesteryear! Your chance to hobnob with the likes of Jonah Goldberg and K-Lo. One can only imagine the scintillating conversations while strolling along the poop deck.

I hear the Nationalist Review just hired Coach Tuberville. Apparently his job will be to barge into the NR's locker room and smack their asses with a towel.

The NYT and WaPo may be next, with for example Theissen and DeSantis sharing their personal recollections (with photos) of Abu Ghraib Torture Days and George Fucking Will tearing off his bowtie to whip Ebonics advocates.

Nice one!

"Change, we have learned, can be good when it’s conservative..." kinda opens up new horizons of thought...

Somehow I’m “out of free articles” on a website I’ve been on maybe twice in the last five years, so I can’t read about what an “asshole” ol’ Sleepy Joe is. What a shame.

*sigh* I actually had to Google "Happy Hitler" to see if there really was such a rapper. Such is the state of music in our brave new world. I was rewarded with photographs of a smiling, cheery dictator.

Funny to think about outmoded, obsolete

Conservatives. Isn't that the point?

Everybody hates Lowrey and crew. - we laugh and point because they're stupid assholes and that's our jam. New Breed Conservatives would just as soon beat them to death with a femur left over from the July 4th Raw Meat Picnic because that's just how they roll.

In spite of the fact Everybody hates them ,Lowrey and crew make a fuck ton of money. They been on the Billionaire Gravy Train longer than most anybody.

While we’re on the subject of the Uber masculine walking among us in the guise of sapless wingtip appeasers, the riff raff who service the Great Camps up here in the Adirondacks tell me Mike Pence recently paid a visit to Topridge, a Harlan Crowe joint, no doubt a’hunting moose and a’gutting bears. I assure you there is not a chance that he made the short paddle over to Longwood, the camp of Bruce Weber, “art” photographer known for his homoerotic pix of hot young studs in the wilderness.

Thanks for introducing me to Sedevacantism (I am getting college credit for this, right?) the belief that the Holy See is currently vacant due to certain "heresies" endorsed by the current fake-Pope.

From the Wikipedia:

"Some sedevacantists chose to end the vacancy in the Holy See by electing their own pope."

These guys, always with the fake electors.

"Butch" Buckley sounds like a porn actor's name. As it should.

"When recounting such stories in ribald terms he would savagely pound his chest and yodel."

And THIS, Mr. PBS, is my pitch for bringing FIRING LINE into the future!

Why do I find it so easy to believe that if Rich Lowry didn't actually write today's screed, he would if he thought of it?
