Le Colonel Neville s’habille Tojours Pour le Diner. Semper Fi. Thomas Sowell: "There are three questions that I think would destroy most of the arguments on the left. The first is compared to what? The second is at what cost and the third is what hard evidence do you have?” Live free or die or both. Satirical empirical conservative. No, really.

Clive: Did I tell you I had the kitchen repainted?
Derek: Er, no. You didn’t.
Clive: Yes, I had to. It was the violence. It had to be stopped.
Derek: What violence Clive?
Clive: Not only the violence but the vitriol, Derek. The vitriol and the wallpaper combined lead directly to the violence.
Derek: Er, do go on.
Clive: Well, you know I like a nice pattern on my wallpaper, maybe a concentric circle in soft orange or a bamboo jungle on a soft golden yet roughly tactile raised rustic finish. Or repeated Balinese fishermen on pastel.
Derek: Lovely.
Clive: Well, it all had to fucking go. Every time I sat eating a nice bowl of Rice Crispies I became enraged with vitriol. The vitriol if it was anything, was enraged. Whenever I heard any vitriol, out of the blue I’d start raving about 'is furniture real' and 'what are the government doing about adverbs.' And then the wallpaper patterns would set me off. I could see meanings in the patterns, Derek. If the patterns were filled with anything, they were filled with meanings. Dark and terrible meanings, especially the flock cubes.
Derek: A very nasty business your vitriol. Er, what is vitriol exactly, Clive?
Clive: Vitriol is anything said by people who don’t agree with Marxist sodden left liberals but is never anything the left say themselves. Remember Derek, the left are never wrong, thus their 100% failure rate.
Derek: Those leftist hypocrite arseholes sure do like to project logical fallacy, don't they?
Clive: Projecting is their modus and logical fallacy is their operandi, Derek. On a good day they are narcissist control freaks.
Clive: Er, no. That is left liberal Democrat civility. If I say I believe in the freedom of the individual above the group and in a respect for The Constitution, in limited government and low tax, respect for life and in personal responsibility, THAT is vitriol.
There are many beautiful and entirely acceptable and respectable left words except when it's problematic to mention them, and none have ever caused or been associated with a shred of violence ever, only misunderstandings. As the left always says, all their lies and violence are entirely necessary.

Derek: It’s all very complicated Doctor. Nurse! The sheets!
Clive: Now you see how the toxic mix of that tufted paisley in the kitchen and my own conservative Constitutional vitriol naturally turned into mayhem and violence.
Derek: What kind of violence?
Clive: Well, as I said, the wallpaper pushed me over the edge about Thursday morning. I heard the word beehive and I just had to unleash millions of killer bees onto Mrs Colombo next door.
Derek: Oh no, Mrs Colombo hates killer bees!
Clive: Exactly. And as I was out and about Tuesday, I walked past a Target store. Well naturally I had to attack my local MP with a flame thrower. It was that enormous bullseye they have up on the wall. I couldn’t help myself. Did I tell you what happened after I watched that documentary on WW2?
Derek: Er, no, the one with Shirley Temple as Himmler?
Clive: Yes. Well, I missed it. But after The Good Ship Lolly Reich finished, I noticed that the mainstream media started spreading Sarah Palin’s target poster all over the world, thus exposing most of the non-blind to it’s evil influences, and now two billion people have lined up to shoot their local politician. It’s THAT powerful. Do not look at it Derek! It will make you into a crazed assassin especially if you hear any vitriol at the same time.
Derek: Don’t worry Clive, I won’t! I’m deaf, blind and fucking incredibly stupid and it’s lucky that I am, or I could be so easily manipulated.
Clive: [rings a small bell] You are drooling, Derek.

Quote on the very groovy non-atheistic empiricist Klavan: “From his vantage point inside Hollywood and the arts and from the perspective of a writer whose work is imbued with religious themes, Klavan deconstructs the Lefts argument that Western civilization — from its embrace of capitalism to its foundations in Judeo-Christian doctrine to its traditions of personal liberty — is in error and needs to go. Klavan says that argument has failed spectacularly, in every way and that, when you do not relinquish a failed argument, all you have left is insult and ridicule.”

From the Wikipedia definition of gobbledygook: Nixon’s Oval Office tape from June 14 shows H. R. Haldeman describing the situation to Nixon.
“To the ordinary guy, all this is a bunch of gobbledygook. But out of the gobbledygook comes a very clear thing: you can’t trust the government; you can’t believe what they say; and you can’t rely on their judgment. And the implicit infallibility of presidents, which has been an accepted thing in America, is badly hurt by this, because it shows that people do things the President wants to do even though it’s wrong, and the President can be wrong.”
Former United States President Ronald Reagan explained tax law revisions in an address to the nation, 28 May 1985:
“Most (tax revisions) didn’t improve the system, they made it more like Washington itself: complicated, unfair, cluttered with gobbledygook and loopholes designed for those with the power and influence to hire high-priced legal and tax advisers.”

Comment: From his 1st 65 days in office, I’d say you have it just about right.
"Sometimes you just have to hand it to the Obama administration. What better way to signal a new beginning than to rename the boring old War on Terror as the Overseas Contingency Operation? The phrase has an almost Dadaist purity, like that random-word spam we all used to get a few years ago. And you can’t deny that whenever anyone hears the phrase “Overseas Contingency Operation,” the first thing they’ll think of is a violent struggle against Islamic extremists. Either that or airline scheduling software.
Anyway, Obama is nothing if not ambitious, and he seems determined to extend his revolution to every area of life. That’s going to require a lot more Newspeak phrases. Yet think of all the hours that must have gone into devising “Overseas Contingency Operation”!
Since it’s the duty of every citizen to help our president in this time of crisis, The Tank presents the Obama-Matic (TM) Content-Free Euphemism Generator (patent pending), to simplify the critically important job of governmental obfuscation.

Comment via GM's corner: “Jimmy Carter is still living in the dream world where the “good guys “ can sit down with the “bad guys” and have tea and crumpets while coming to a peaceful agreement on all things.
I believe that one Neville Chamberlin was of the same mold in his thinking as Carter when he thought that he could appease Hitler by allowing him just “one small piece of Czechoslovakia.” Evidently Carter was not a student of history or felt that he could change what many before him had failed in doing, and that was to appease tyrants.
Today, we are still paying the price for his failure 32 years ago, and we now have another demagogue in Chief Occupier Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., who feels he can accomplish the impossible simply by holding hands and talking with the “bad guys.” He continued on with his appeasement whining when he said: "The people of the United States desire to have relations with Iran based on equality, mutual respect and friendship.” That sure sounds familiar doesn't it.
The carrot and sticks did not phase the Khomeini for he knew he was up against a “paper tiger”. In almost a dare, shortly after the hostage-taking, he dismissed the possibility of any military response by the US and said: “We will destroy you all, even if we ourselves die in the process.” Later on he totally rejected the primacy of national interest.” We do not worship Iran, we worship Allah,” he declared in a speech in 1980. “For patriotism is another name for paganism. I say let this land [Iran] burn. I say let this land go up in smoke, provided Islam emerges triumphant in the rest of the world.”
Carter evidently does not remember these words.
Frank Gaffney, Jr. summed up Carter, shall we say in a nutshell, when he stated ; “It seems there is scarcely a serious bad actor on the planet with whom Jimmy Carter has not met. He is a serial tyrant-enabler, the very personification of Rodney King’s risible appeal, ‘Can’t we all get along?’ Mr. Carter has come to epitomize the notion that ‘dialogue’ is always in order, no matter how odious or dangerous the interlocutor — or the extent to which they or their agendas will benefit from such interactions.”
It seems the "Useful idiot" has been replaced by another "Useful idiot" with the same mindset."
Breitbart via bighollywood: “So, to recap: cultural Marxism, like Communism itself, has backfired - on the very same self-loathing, cerebral snobs who promoted it. Jolly good! But I’m getting ahead of myself.
Scottish composer James MacMillan, an open supporter of Catholicism and a believer in the spiritual component of music, takes it a little deeper. He blames British cultural decline on “a fetish with ideology... A lot of the conceit in Europe is that they have this intellectual centre; but actually, it’s an intellectual culture that has been hijacked by a very stern intellectual Puritanism, which springs from Marx. “Liberal elites,” he adds, “have been mugged by history. Because their view of the history - that the future is secular - hasn’t happened... So they are flailing around, attacking people like me and many others.”
How the Left hijacked the fine arts in the first place is an intriguing question. Once upon a time, classical music, ballet, and opera were considered blueblood pastimes - or country club hobbies of nouveau riche American conservatives.
...as is becoming clearer everyday, mass-producing artistic agitprop in a comfy liberal vacuum doesn’t leave much of lasting value. (Will anyone be listening to the opera of An Inconvenient Truth 100 years from now? Doubtful. But you can bet Rigoletto will still be around.)
“The problem,” says West End playwright Richard Bean, “is that some people who think they’re cool and rebellious and oppositional - all they’re doing is writing plays against America, which is the most tedious and boring and brainless that you can do…. If what keeps you awake at night is how terrible George Bush is, that’s not going to make you a great playwright.”
Meanwhile, Hollywood remains the biggest offender when it comes to disseminating insidious liberal messages of self-hatred. Many intelligent and talented conservatives I know actually go out of their way to avoid exposure to acclaimed TV series like 30 Rock and blockbuster movies like Angels and Demons - because they don’t want to risk anymore left-wing brainwashing than they have to.
We are producing generations of children now, who are going to be very shallow human beings, who are not going to resist when they’re confronted by a threat to the West. Because they are not going to realise how precious the things are now that they have to defend. If you don’t know what you’re losing, then why should you fight to defend it?”
Johnson certainly isn’t alone in his concern. Writers from Oriana Fallaci and Mark Steyn to Melanie Phillips and Bruce Bawer have weighed in on the seemingly unstoppable Islamic conquest of the developed countries of Europe, including the UK. In 2007, the member nations of the EU signed something called the “Lisbon Treaty,” which allows for the official implementation of a “European Arrest Warrant.” Starting this year, one can now be automatically arrested and extradited for thought crimes such as ”racism and xenophobia.”
“Hamas MP and Cleric Yunis Al-Astal in a Friday Sermon: We Will Conquer Rome, and from There Continue to Conquer the Two Americas and Eastern Europe. Following are excerpts from an address by Hamas MP and cleric Yunis Al-Astal, which aired on Al-Aqsa TV on April 11, 2008. Yunis Al-Astal:
"Allah has chosen you for Himself and for His religion, so that you will serve as the engine pulling this nation to the phase of succession, security, and consolidation of power, and even to conquests thorough da\'wa and military conquests of the capitals of the entire world. Very soon, Allah willing, Rome will be conquered, just like Constantinople was, as was prophesized by our Prophet Muhammad.
Today, Rome is the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital, which has declared its hostility to Islam, and has planted the brothers of apes and pigs in Palestine in order to prevent the reawakening of Islam -- this capital of theirs will be an advanced post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread through Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, and even Eastern Europe.
I believe that our children or our grandchildren will inherit our Jihad and our sacrifices, and Allah willing, the commanders of the conquest will come from among them. Today, we instill these good tidings in their souls, and by means of the mosques and the Koran books, and the history of our Prophets, his companions, and the great leaders, we prepare them for the mission of saving humanity from the hellfire on the brink of which they stand."
Colonel Neville: And that's what daisy cutters and gunships are for.

Celebrating Social Collapse and Atomisation presents: the fabbo Michelle Malkin on the Knoxville torture rape etc murders. Four black men and a black woman carjack, rape, torture, poison, sexually mutilate, dismember and murder a young white woman and her white boyfriend. Thus for the MSM it fits none of their paradigms of current truth. It’s not a “useful story” as Michelle shows, and is simply censored out. And why not eh? Let's all be nice. No.
Compare this to the mega MSM and celebrity race mongering of the Duke Lacrosse fraud and lie. Five white males are naturally guilty and evil because they’re white AND rich, and are accused falsely of gang rape by a black woman.
And via WSBTV, a regional TV station that's better than anything in Australia, on Five Muslim immigrant terrorists named Mo in the U.S convicted of terrorism fundraising for gee, the Holy Land Foundation. This is not an isolated case that is now solved, but one of thousands and thousands across the free West that's part of a vast asymmetrical pattern of stealth and overt jihad.
"And he did it while living the life of a seemingly legitimate businessman...started in 1993,
...until the FBI came knocking...Mohammad Shorbagi was just a rug salesman and a devout Muslim...an Imam of a small Mosque...but the truth was much more complicated and dangerous...a giant Muslim charity in the U.S sent money to Hamass...” Hey, there’s no connection to the thousands of other Muslim immigrant men named Mohammad or variant who are also terrorist fund raisers, terrorists or fellow travellers. Oh, there is? In Chicago, Dallas ad nauseum. Oh dear.
“Facts are nothing without their nuance.”Norman Mailer.
Sadly, Norman regularly got neither right. Swingin’ black reporter Tom Jones on how a beautiful black family of five were killed in a car crash caused by the speeding of a successful, reckless and criminal black woman, and how her Mother covered up for her. Add this to the fact that 94% of black men who are murdered, are murdered by other black men. Blacks are less than 14% of the population, but commit 50% of all violent crime. Blacks in America have a combined income larger than Canadians. Thus all this fact, paradox and nuance etc, is beyond the media to be able present eithr coherently or with any depth.
Which is great, cos we all lose in the end which is coming soon. Next Wednesday I believe...
Via WSBTV: A poorly spoken and bad attitude young black man with “30” tattooed on his cheekbone and five stars up his neck is gee, a murder suspect with a Himalaya of Police evidence to back it up. Fancy that? I wouldn’t want to judge. We must be “open minded,’ to the cold, cold wind...of gang culture, identity and grievance politics, drugs, promiscuity, welfare, no education and rank nihilism.
This young black man with the tragically doomed and laughable name of Deadrick E. Garrett, with the help of another black man, murders Dyishin pictured below, the young black man in a car park, for dissin’ his collection of French poetry.
In 2007, Deadrick the sparkling winner and young black man, stabbed his half-brother the young black man to death, as you do. Young and handsome but damaged and criminally insane. Three cheers for single Motherhood...Over 70% of people in prison come from unwed single Mother er, homes. Thus liberal Democrats promote it as a good thang, especially for black people!
Anne Coulter from her fabbo book Guilty! Liberal Victims and their Assault on America:
"Of all single mothers in America, only 6.5 percent of them are widows, 37.8 percent are divorced, and 41.3 percent gave birth out of wedlock. The 6.5 percent of single mothers whose husbands have died shouldn't be called 'single mothers' at all. We already have a word for them: 'widows.' Their children do just fine compared with the children of married parents." -- P.35
"Here is the lottery ticket that single mothers are handing their innocent children by choosing to raise them without fathers: Controlling for socioeconomic status, race, and place of residence, the strongest predictor of whether a person will end up in prison is that he was raised by a single parent.
By 1996, 70 percent of inmates in state juvenile detention centers serving long-term sentences were raised by single mothers. Seventy-two percent of juvenile murderers and 60 percent of rapists come from single-mother homes.
Seventy percent of teenage births, dropouts, suicides, runaways, juvenile delinquents, and child murderers involve children raised by single mothers. Girls raised without fathers are more sexually promiscuous and more likely to end up divorced. A 1990 study by the Progressive Policy Institute showed that after controlling for single motherhood, the difference between black and white crime rates disappeared.
Various studies have come up with slightly different numbers, but all the figures are grim. According to the Index of Leading Cultural Indicators, children from single-parent families account for 63 percent of all youth suicides, 70 percent of all teenage pregnancies, 71 percent of all adolescent chemical/substance abuse, 80 percent of all prison inmates, and 90 percent of all homeless and runaway children.
A study cited in the Village Voice produced similar numbers. It found that children brought up in single-mother homes 'are five times more likely to commit suicide, nine times more likely to drop out of high school, 10 times more likely to abuse chemical substances, 14 times more likely to commit rape (for the boys), 20 times more likely to end up in prison, and 32 times more likely to run away from home.' Single motherhood is like a farm team for future criminals and social outcasts. "
The armed live on and the unarmed die. And the armed and criminal are defeated if they meet the armed and righteous:
"COLLEGE PARK, Ga. A group of college students said they are lucky to be alive and they’re thanking the quick-thinking of one of their own. Police said a fellow student shot and killed one of two masked men who burst into an apartment. Channel 2 Action News reporter Tom Jones met with one of the students to talk about the incident.“Apparently, his intent was to rape and murder us all,” said student Charles Bailey...
Bailey said the gunmen started counting bullets. “The other guy asked how many (bullets) he had. He said he had enough,” said Bailey.
That’s when one student grabbed a gun out of a backpack and shot at the invader who was watching the men. The gunman ran out of the apartment.The student then ran to the room where the second gunman, identified by police as 23-year-old Calvin Lavant, was holding the women."
“..he thought it was the end of his life and the lives of the 10 people inside his apartment for a birthday party after two masked men with guns burst in through a patio door.
“They just came in and separated the men from the women and said, ‘Give me your wallets and cell phones,’” said George Williams of the College Park Police Department.
The student then ran to the room where the second gunman, identified by police as 23-year-old Calvin Lavant, was holding the women.
“Apparently the guy was getting ready to rape his girlfriend. So he told the girls to get down and he started shooting. The guy jumped out of the window,” said Bailey.

Now here’s the thing. It was P.J O’Rourke and his columns and fabulous books from Eat the Rich, All the Trouble in the World, Give War a Chance, and everything else he has ever done, that got me into the true freedom of conservative principals via his empirical, satirical, deflating, ironic and profoundly moral humour.
And that’s not the phony yuks of the unread PC limits of the average stand-up comedian, too often based on acceptable mass drone paradigms of bullshit. P.J O'Rourke deals largely in the actually shocking and entirely laughable facts. There's nothing funnier than the juxtaposition of the misery of Utopian leftard dreams of existence and the joy of proven capitalist democratic bounty. That's the one without the socialist government theft by interference and parasitism.
The only er, "flaw" in capitalism is that unproductive fakes won't leave it alone.
To paraphrase P.J O'Rourke: Ferrari, Hollywood style swimming pools in the homes of working-class people, the music of Marvin Gaye and modern dentistry alone, prove the superiority of the free West.
Yep, facts exist whether we know of them or not. The same with humour.
P.J is one of the natural wonders of the world. An enormous talent who slices and dices the moral vanity fantasy’s of the left liberal and radical twerp. Or as O’Rourke has called them “the return of son of the son of sixties rabble”.
The caveat is that P.J ain’t always such an obvious online presence. Especially in far away and generally dull Australia. And sometimes the Peej is a little laid back around many an elite moonbats, but then he’s a nice guy and he’s done enough already. And what do I know?
In fact all my own problems come down to not becoming a conservative soon enough! No, really.
This brings me to Mark Steyn who is an affable guy, my favourite conservative, [after me] invariably deals with fools with a wonderfully effective and wicked economy. And this is not just a shabby ploy to be reader of the day again, [though what a great idea?!] but because if it wasn’t for P.J O'Rourke but especially regular addictive Steyn boosts, I for one would feel a little more like Chuck, as he’s making his pre-big sleep through space speech in Planet Of The Apes:
“One more thing, if anybody is listening, that is. Nothing scientific, it’s purely personal. But seen from out here, everything seems different.
Time bends. Space is boundless. It squashes a man's ego. I feel lonely.”
It was pretty much Steyn who led me onto much of everyone and everything else per se. Onto incisive, researched, empirical, passionate, energetic, rational, inspiring [and footnoted!] conservative to libertarian adults like Jonah Goldberg, David Horowitz, Roger Kimball, Robert Spencer, John Stossel, Norman Podhoretz, Machosauce, Lt Colonel Allen B. West, Michelle Malkin, Humberto Fontova, Brigitte Gabriel, the great though flawed Christopher Hitchens, Wafa Sultan, Melanie Philips, Phyllis Chessler, many, many great bloggers and hell, plenty more.
Hey, notice how in the conservative libertarian world they not only have all the best selling worthwhile empirical books, but just as many great gals as guys? Interestin’ innit? The left talk, while conservatives walk.
The thing about Mark is that he has charm and balls. He’s always, always fun and a damn good laugh. I can read an entire Saturday edition of The Age and find it back to back mirthless. Unless one counts...no, The Age is a fucking drag.
He rarely lets even a slice of baloney pass without a surgical and naturally witty analysis, whether it’s the ever metastasising industrial park of cancerous Kabana of the MSM, government, academia, celebrity or the indoctrinated, incurious and ripped-off public.
We occasionally saddened souls of the lost art of reason find in Steyn the truth of things often laid embarrassingly bare. In fact, Mark is so consistently on the money that he’s invariably countered by the average Che the child killer fan, by ignoring everything Steyn writes and what they have just read and going straight for the meaningless and relentlessly codified ad hominem. Or not reading Steyn at all, which qualifies for a Marxist as being a Steyn analyst. Or is that just an anal list? Or a lisp?
The unsophisticated or too sophisticated, the mundane and the professionally glum often laughably misunderstand the wonderful purposeful and playful tangents that Steyn takes. Why does he and a few sainted others do it? Cos they can, cos why not and it's a laugh. It's also the naturally imaginative and talented at work, illuminating a point and a road often less taken by say, the MSM, governmental, celebrity and academic chicken farms.
When I first stumbled upon Steyn in er, The Age, I couldn’t believe it. “This is bloody great!” said I.
Now when I stumble across The Age I STILL can’t believe it. But in Steyn we trust. Here’s a an almost scientific formula that never seems to fail: as the number of Mark Steyn’s columns diminish in a newspaper, it’s in inverse proportion to how censorious, phony, dull and unreadable it becomes. And once it reaches the stage of say The Age, which now never prints any Marcus, it’s a useless pile of sheet. Or a sheet of useless piles. Either way. And it’s a fail safe indicator of how much PC social engineering global warming pro-Islamist Jew hating Marxist tripe they do print.
No Mark Steyn means a rhetoric and sly lies free edition of The Age, The Guardian or The New York Times et al, could be printed on a postage stamp. No, really. Or a piece of confetti. A small piece. Or the head of a pinhead. Or Andrew Jaspin.
In post No: 455,002, Steyn rounds up the spineless posturing of as Frank Zappa called it “tinsel town rebellion.” Via New Mexico Republicans:
“George Clooney’s triple Oscar nominations for acting, writing and directing are said to be a significant moment in the life of the nation, and not just by George Clooney, though his effusions on his own “bravery” certainly set a high mark. “We jumped in on our own,” he said, discussing Good Night, and Good Luck with Entertainment Weekly. “And there was no reason to think it was going to get any easier. But people in Hollywood do seem to be getting more comfortable with making these sorts of movies now. People are becoming braver.”
Wow. He was brave enough to make a movie about Islam’s treatment of women? Oh, no, wait. That was the Dutch director Theo van Gogh: He had his throat cut and half-a-dozen bullets pumped into him by an enraged Muslim who left an explanatory note pinned to the dagger he stuck in his chest. At last year’s Oscars, the Hollywood crowd were too busy championing the “right to dissent” in the Bushitler tyranny to find room even to name-check Mr. van Gogh in the montage of the deceased.
No, Mr. Clooney was the fellow “brave” enough to make a movie about – cue drumroll as I open the envelope for Most Predictable Direction – the McCarthy era!
Hollywood prefers to make “controversial” films about controversies that are settled, rousing itself to fight battles long won. Go Back to USA Today’s approving list of Hollywood’s willingness to “broach the touch issues”: “Brokeback and Capote for their portrayal of gay characters; Crash for its examination of racial tension...” That might have been “bold”, “courageous” move-making half-a-century ago. Doing it at a time when your typical conservative politician gets denounced as “homophobic” because he’s only in favor of civil unions is just an exercise in moral self-congratulation.
Hollywood “controversy” seems more an evasion of controversy. If you want it in a single word, it’s the difference between the title of George Jonas’s original book – Vengeance – and the title of the film Steven Spielberg made of it – Munich. Vengeance is a point of view, Munich is a round of self-applause for the point of view that having no point of view is the most sophisticated point of view of all.
In the meantime, Danish cartoonists are in hiding for their lives but George Clooney will be televised around the world picking up an award for his bravery.”
Colonel Neville: The closest we have to such ballsy, delicious and fluid Hendrixian riffing in Oz is Tim Blair and the well, less funny bt great value too of Andy Bolt.
Bolt is also judged as Dennis Miller noted of Fox, in absentia. Should I say balls and delicious so close together? Why not? My Japanese wife does.
Speaking of enormous canasta's, Steyn clearly has the hip intellectual moral wit and analytical trouser tackle to well, tackle any subject and head on and is also a brilliant out-flanker.
Many times I’ve thought “of course!" The revealing block, side-step and counter punch and yet, still always done with a hearty laugh. Or the straight KAPOW!! to the rhetorical nose.
It’s no coincidence that he has a rather unique insight and interest in the layering of song and music and that his other vast aspects of recall inform what he does, dig? It used to be normal to have such an eclectic range of interests and pursuits. Not so many now though it appears. Ah, but that was when journalists were various different kinds of people, or as Mark said “people whose lives had gone terribly wrong!”
But obviously not for some. And the man flows. Hail Prolificus! Scribe to common man and the worthy King alike. Sure he has faults, but they may be mine. He said recently that a little of The Goon Show is enough. I was so disappointed I removed an orange from my Steyn shrine. And he kicks puppies. Or is that me? Oddly, like Peter and O’Toole, Mark and Steyn are words for the same thing and that’s how I like it. Once such a writer is in the soul, I’m not afraid to say that it’s Steyn Alone, sports. We just need more of ‘im.
Edit of Steyn on the PC neutering, [or newt ring?] of the less and less free men and women of the less and less free West.
“Mr. Li was able to pull his arm back into the bus, and returned to the rear of the bus, where he defiled the body of Tim McLean.”
There were over three dozen passengers on the bus, including in the seats around Li and McLean. The attacker “did not pay any attention to the other passengers” and at one point was stabbing his victim “as he lay on the floor.”
...there is no suggestion in the “agreed statement” that anyone attempted to disarm the “oblivious” Mr Li. I wonder if, in Tim McLean’s last conscious moments, he was aware that his fellow passengers had “vacated” the bus and barricaded him in with his murderer.
...the Mounties...sat outside the bus for 4½ hours even though Mr. Li was already waving Mr. McLean’s head around, and it was clear there was no one alive in the bus except the killer. Nevertheless, the RCMP passed the rest of the night watching Mr. Li slice up the body, and eat the bits that took his fancy...
...Had Mr. Li not got bored in the early hours of the morning and decided to leave the bus, they’d have sat there the rest of the week. Tim McLean’s parents are now suing the RCMP.
All the CRTC regulations and all the Cinedole Canada funding in the world can’t make that into a story Canadians want to tell themselves. But reporters are obliged to attempt it, and, when they do, you can’t help noticing a curious incuriosity—all the sly elisions, all the questions that go unasked in the rote calls for financial compensation and more nanny-state protection.
...Another lone nut and dozens of bystanders. Another Canadian story with no hero. No villain, either: Mr. Li has been declared not responsible for his actions, and that’s the club pretty much everyone else wants to get into. The Greyhound driver is said to have gone into shock. The passengers are suing the bus company for the mental trauma they’ve suffered from having to stand around on the highway watching Mr. Li decapitate their fellow passenger.
...these untypical Canadian stories are telling us something about typical Canadians—about what happens in the vacuum of abandoned social norms. Do you know the name Liviu Librescu? You should. He was a 76-year-old Holocaust survivor who was teaching a class at Virginia Tech one Monday morning in 2007 when gunshots were heard. He reacted immediately. He threw himself against the door and told his students to climb out the windows. He used his body as a barricade as long as he could, and was shot dead when the killer finally broke through.
Professor Librescu had lived under fascism and Communism, and perhaps was not so removed from the primal impulses as so many Westerners seem to be. But what about Lee Gordon-Brown, shot when the nut du jour stormed his classroom at Monash University in Melbourne with five loaded handguns? At the killer’s first pause, the wounded professor Gordon-Brown grabbed his hand. A student pitched in.
Two other men charged into the room, and, as the professor collapsed of his wounds, helped hold down the crazy guy until the cops arrived. This story is the precise inversion of the École Polytechnique: Instead of fleeing the scene, the men run into it, and toward their fate.
The “Canadian story” Canadians have told themselves for 40 years is a self-aggrandizing narrative of pacifism and social solidarity. There’s a lot of the former, not so much of the latter.”
“In their first two months, Obama and Geithner have done nothing but vaporize your wealth, and your children's future.
Ahead of this week's G20 summit in London, Timothy Geithner, America's beloved Toxic Asset, called for "global regulation." "Our hope," said Toxic Tim, "is that we can work with Europe on a global framework, a global infrastructure which has appropriate global oversight."
“President Barack Obama fell back on one of his favourite rhetorical tics: "But I also know," he wrote, "that we need not choose between a chaotic and unforgiving capitalism and an oppressive government-run economy. That is a false choice that will not serve our people or any people."
Really? For the moment, it's a "false choice" mainly in the sense that he's not offering it: "a chaotic and unforgiving capitalism" is not on the menu, which leaves "an oppressive government-run economy" as pretty much the only game in town.
This year federal government spending will rise to 28.5 percent of GDP, the highest level ever, with the exception of the peak of the Second World War. The 44th president is proposing to add more to the national debt than the first 43 presidents combined, doubling it in the next six years, and tripling it within the decade.
It's not about bookkeeping, it's about government annexation of the economy, and thus of life: government supervision, government regulation, government control. No matter how small your small business is – plumbing, hairdressing, maple-sugaring – the state will be burdening you with more permits, more paperwork, more bureaucracy.
Bono, the global do-gooder who was last in Washington to play at the Obama inauguration, recently moved much of his business from Ireland to the Netherlands, in order to pay less tax. And good for him. To be sure, he's always calling on governments to give more money to Africa and whatnot, but it's heartening to know that, when it comes to his wallet as opposed to yours, Bono, like Secretary Geithner, has no desire to toss any more of his money into the great sucking maw of the government treasury than the absolute minimum he can get away with.”
Mark Steyn on Hugh Hewitt and how Barry can yap and yap and yap and yap and then do something insane: “...what is becoming clear is that he likes talking. He had some thing today, some cockamamie, you know, pseudo-town meeting, cyber town meeting on the internet. We know he can do that. He did it for a couple of years before last November. We know he can talk.
Peggy Noonan in the Wall Street Journal said it’s a time for leadership, not talkership, and that’s what we’re getting from him. Basically, he’s talked and talked and talked, meanwhile all his administration has done is vaporize American wealth now for two months. It’s destroying American wealth, it’s destroying American jobs, it’s destroying the global economy, and all he does is talk, talk, talk.
...And the way to think about Obama, I’ve concluded, is that essentially he’s not, he doesn’t have a political philosophy or a geopolitical vision. He’s a social engineer. And so his priority is always to grow government at the expense of any rival sources of legitimacy, and that’s what this charitable deduction thing does for him. ”
The magnificent, surgical, witty, fun and entirely correct Mark Steyn fillets another mediocre Leftard. Finds no guts, brains or bone structure in Liberal sardine.
“Mimicking the hollow boosterism of sonorous media baloney requires some skill, but if you’re in the business of “violent unseating,” it’s utterly inadequate to the task. And, after what feels like a somewhat dutiful slog through Juvenal, Swift, and Pope, you would expect Denby at least to be aware of the limitations imposed by the shriveled range of cultural reference within which the contemporary media “ironist” must operate.
It’s fun to riff off the conventions of cable news or American Idol, but it’s limiting. Observational humor requires folks to stick around long enough to observe.
Back in the 90’s, David Letterman did a Top Ten list about a Clinton/Yeltsin summit. It wasn’t going down so well, so, midway through, the host stopped to explain it to the audience: “The one guy eats, the other guy drinks. That’s all you need to know.”
Indeed. Denby’s “layer of knowingness” is really a wafer-thin veneer—knowingness for the unknowing. Bush? Dumb. McCain? Old. Palin? Hang on: Also dumb. When Denby bemoans “the feebleness of snark” by citing Maureen Dowd’s arthritic walker-dependent “running jokes” about “Poppy” Bush and “Babysitter” Cheney, he is, almost, on to something: This is sophisticated cynicism for the gullibly naïve.
Nevertheless, it is surely ironic that a writer who coos at every opportunity his appreciation of irony (“the most powerful of satiric weapons”) seems to lack the vital precondition for irony—the ability to imagine the other. Why is Bush so obviously a buffoon and Gore so profoundly a “serious man”? Well, because Denby voted for one and despises the other. Say what you will about the creators of the British magazine Private Eye, to whom he devotes considerable space, but they’re equal-opportunity jeerers.
In American terms, Richard Ingrams, Private Eye’s founder, would be reviled as a homophobe, a racist, and an anti-Semite. When co-owner Peter Cook’s comedy partner Dudley Moore went off to California in the late 1970’s to romance Bo Derek in 10, Cook was sympathetic: “I suppose if you’re a lower-middle-class midget from Dagenham with a club foot, being a Hollywood star must seem quite a good deal...
For my own part, I find the divide between Colbertian “irony” and Dowd-esque “snark” less of a chasm than Denby imagines: Both are part of a self-referential present-tense culture bobbing around in circles on the surface, and it’s foolish to argue degrees of precedence between flotsam and jetsam.”
“...when Barack Obama is accused of creating his Six-Trillion-Dollar Man “because I believe in bigger government” he denies it: “I don’t,” he says flatly. This is like Clark Kent telling Lois Lane he’s not Superman: They just look a bit similar when he removes his glasses...
Likewise, any connection between Obama and a Big Government behemoth swallowing everything in sight is entirely coincidental. .. Last week, the president redefined the relationship between the citizen and the state, in ways that make America closer to Europe. If you’ve still got the Webster’s to hand, “closer to Europe” is a sociopolitical colloquialism meaning “much worse..."
Is the new all-powerful Statezilla vulnerable to anything? Unfortunately, yes. He loses all his superpowers when he comes into contact with something called Reality.
But happily, Reality is nowhere in sight. There are believed to be some small surviving shards somewhere on the planet — maybe on an uninhabited atoll somewhere in the Pacific — but that’s just a rumor, and Barack Obama isn’t planning on running into Reality any time soon.”
