She refers to the fact that “the three remaining Republican candidates for president” are all in attendance; that must cheese off Ron Paul something fierce,

Still no love for Alan Keyes, I guess.

In architectural terms, that is known as a semi-colonnade.

Derek: “Also, five bonus points for using a semi-colon; shows how smart you are!”

Trite, but it can be improved. Try this, Derek:
“Also, five bonus points for using a semi-colon;;;;;;;;;; shows how smart you are!”

That’ll show them!

Still too early in the day for me, SM. Another hour and a half to go before I take a Bowmore Break.

Don’t whine all over mama’s funny.

Am I the only one snorting Lagavulin out my nose over this one?

I must congratulate Derek on making me second guess whether he’s a concern troll or not. On the one hand, he’s got all the markings in my Audubon Troll Field Guide. On the other, he keeps posting comments with different words in them, which defies Troll Rule #1: Thou Shalt Copy and Paste.

Or, shorter me: Hi, Derek! Hush now.

I appreciate your kind heart, and eventually, when others here, like kiki, see the rewards of your kindness, they too will want to show the same kindness towards me.

Oh My Stars! If I didn’t know better, I’d swear I was listening to Sammy Davis, Jr. How wonderful.

I haven’t read any of today’s posts yet, but before I start, I just wanted to let you know that I heard about Romney dropping out on my drive home and all I could think about was how exciting the Leonard Pierce-sclusive was going to be. Now, off I go to partake in the madness. It’s been said before, but I must repeat it: Mr. Pierce, you are a true hero to traverse this minefield of crazy.

Looks like Mitt was chatting with Mark Steyn before he made his speech: “Europe is facing a demographic disaster. That is the inevitable product of weakened faith in the Creator, failed families, disrespect for the sanctity of human life and eroded morality.”

“I’ll take Chris St. James over BLT any day of the week.

Chris is very amusing.

The T in BLT stands for tedious.”

That’s the closest thing to a compliment that I’ve received here in a long time, so I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Some will say that you’re to nice to this recovering troll, but don’t listen to them.

I appreciate your kind heart, and eventually, when others here, like kiki, see the rewards of your kindness, they too will want to show the same kindness towards me.

Derek goes to ♂ to get more candy bars; the rest go to ♃ to get more stupider.

I suspect most of the commentators here who disagree with me read about as many books as Jonah Goldberg on a very serious research mission. Which would be, let's see, every single commentator here. Way to insult everyone who reads your number-one super-favourite blog! But of course, you'd never use an ad hominem.

I criticize the writing as juvenile and you respond by… comparing me to an English teacher who doesn’t get it. Good work.

I believe I’m ignorant of the irony here. I must be a juvenile idiot. I guess I’ll go back to chortling at the big poopie I just made.

Derek, you’re about as insightful as a junior high English teacher complaining about the grammar in a Richard Pryor routine. You’re missing the f’ing point. Run along, now; there’s a good boy. Don’t whine all over mama’s funny.

“Stop reading instead of endlessly pissing and moaning about it” isn’t circle jerkery or “liberal fascism”, it’s common sense: “Doctor, it hurts when I do this…”

“What’s the point of a comment section if all that’s allowed is circle jerkery?”

Complaining about the content of a website based on your personal distaste for its hyperbolic style is the functional equivalent of going into the kitchen at a taqueria and upbraiding the cooks for adding too much cheese to your nachos.
