How was the Moore Hotel?
Nothing special, but comfortable enough, with helpful staff. I’d recommend it.

In a pinch, weather-stripping will keep it out, if your door is fitted properly.

For best results, use plastic sheeting and Ductape™.

Nah Gah Happn. Willard’s much-(self)-vaunted Bidniz Acumen is founded on the tithes funneled from earnest Midwestern worker-bee Mormons through Willard’s fellow bishops into Bain (Vulture) Capital’s ponzi schemes. Romney’s “heartland-based capitalism” is the evil twin of Obama’s “grassroots politics” — without all those millions of small ‘love offerings’ looking for a place to aggregate, Mitt would be just another failed car salesman. Not that he wouldn’t dump the Deseret suckers in a heartbeat if he thought he could get away with it, but between failing to turn his Olympics “success” into a viable call for his coronation nomination, and the Epic LOLZ of his latest efforts, it’s clear even to the no-Mensa-candidate Willard “Mitt” Romney that no group of Americans outside the Temple Garment Set is going to offer him any love, i.e., munney & power. Without such a marker, how could the NR editiorial board be sure she wouldn’t be mistaken for, you know, somebody important?

As for K-Lo, she is the National Review version of Clarence Thomas. Because fReichtards are not subtle in their sense of humor, it is not enough that the Token House Girl be stupid, ugly, and even-more-marginally qualified for her position than such luminaries as the Doughy Pantload. She must also display a thoroughly risible and embarrassing sexual perversion — a pubic-hair-on-the-Coke-can, Mrs. Willard Romney phantasy — that will brand her lack of seriousness the way a red rubber nose brands the clown at a kiddy party.

Heck, she’s an embarassment to her species. Whatever it is.

I just got home from taking my son to a doctor’s appt. The receptionist was listening to country music. I was forced to hear Toby Fucking Keith “perform” a song. Did the Tobester leave any wingnut war-fellatin’ cliche unturned? No, no he did not! I was thankful I didn’t have an ice pick with me, or I would surely have punctured my eardrums.

Toby Keith is the musical equivalent of K-Lo.

I will also pass along that my sister says Romney reminds her of the Lindbergh character in The Plot Against America.

In any event, they’ve been talking about this quite a bit at The Corner, regardless of the existence of evidence pro or con that McCain would entertain such a proposal.

Agreed. These people don’t think that *McCain* is a sincere conservative, so it seems hard to believe that they’d ditch Mittens for him. From what I’ve heard, the dislike of Romney arose from some combination of three reasons:

1) He thinks he’s a Christian; they don’t think he’s a Christian. [Insert long discussion of finer points of faith here.]
2) He’s not reliably conservative.
3) He’s just…meh.

In fact, K-Lo is the only person I’ve ever encountered who really rejects (2). Most other Romney supporters tacitly acknowledged the issue by saying, in effect, “Yeah, we had to buy him, but we’re pretty sure he’ll stay bought.”

The concept of the stupid filter intrigues me, and I would like to subscribe to its newsletter. The most recent stupid thing I read in blog comments (excluding the stuff that you guys make fun of over here) was a comment on a post about a rumor of a new mobile phone:

OMG THESE PHONES ARE REALLY CUTE AND WHERE DO YOU GET THEM AND YOU SHOULD MAKE THEM ABOUT 79.99 CUZZ THE OTHER SIDEKICKS ARE SO EXPENSIVE AND I WOULD BUY ON FOR MY DAUGHTER AND I IF THEY WERE 79.99

The verdict:Text is likely to be stupid.

spencer: I find it interesting that K-Lo seems to assume McCain would be a one-term president, if he were to actually win this time out.

Indeed. I can envision several possible explanations:

1) She is too stupid to add 2008 and 8;
2) She is too stupid to check her work to ensure that she’s added properly;
3) She has, in her usual fashion, utterly committed herself to her colleagues’ proposal that McCain should pledge to serve only one term and is simply acting as though that is what will happen.

well, he did provide oodles of funding for sexual abstinence programs and supported their efforts to remove the teaching of evolution in public schools.

It is bizarre how fundamentalists can look at the idiosyncrasies of the Mormon faith (e.g., its alternate pre-Columbian history of the Americas, its shifting policies based on revelatory dreams) and regard it as a cult, and yet accept all manner of equally crazy, arbitrary doctrine from their own church. When the doctrine is authorized by their church they have to put it into a special mental compartment isolated from reason. Yet they can look at another faith and recognize its absurdity. There must be so much denial and suppression going on for them to function without their heads exploding.
