Dr. DeLong,

With all those stations on satellite TV, they have to on SOMEwhere! ;-)

The answer to your question is, “I’m not sure.”

The thought of Jonah Goldberg’s buttocks could seriously de-gay me. :(
Of course, the thought of Lucianne’s vagina re-gayed me anyway. :)

Once again, whilst innocently googling a phrase, in this case:

receiving injections of Mountain Dew and Twinkee filling into his buttocks

I get directed to this site. With NO HAPPY ENDING, I might add. What’s up with you people? Seriously.

P.S. The Seb method made me waste precious Guinness. You’ll be hearing from my lawyers, Vladi G.

One of my best friends ever has the misfortune of also being named Jonah Goldberg. My Jonah is a total genius, IQ-off the charts type guy, very successful, and a totally sweet, laid-back liberal. He hates his infamous namesake more than you can imagine.

Thing is, Jonah Goldberg was a perfectly fine name until, I dunno, the late 90’s or something. It’s just like in Office Space. “Michael Bolton used to be a cool name. Why should I have to change my name because of that no-talent assclown?”

So, this would be the same Ezra Klein that, in his Pandagon days, wrote a post saying that he basically supported the Iraq clusterfuck because all the smelly hippies at his school were against it, right? That same Ezra Klein?

A pox on both of ‘em.

Yeah, I gave up the Seb Method out of a misguided sense of propriety and civility.

I won’t make that mistake again.

Goldberg is the King of the Backpedal. Notice how every time he gets called on his junk thinking, he reponds by subtly changing his argument to conform to the criticism, and then blaming the critic for misunderstanding his original post. It’s slapstick philosophy.

He is also King of the “Too-Soon Quip,” the smirk while tragedy is fresh. Then he always slinks back into the Corner to helf-apologize.

And he’s the best they’ve got over there.

I still prefer the Seb method: Other noteworthy observations: Last person to have had contact with Lucianne Goldbergâ€™s vagina.

There you go again with your narrowly factual objections.
