The whole point of being a conservative is that ‘cool’ doesn’t matter, and never will. ‘Cool’ gets in the way of fun, by the way.

But is it more remarkable than Helen Reddy singing “I’m still an embryo with a long, long way to go” at a NARAL rally? nat – obeah stole my words in reply to that… But, if I may defend the relative merits of anything that is not a Republican/conservative convention where someone gets awarded a Charlton Heston firearm vs. anything that is, well… there you have it already, there’s a huge difference between tacky-trash and creepy-scary. The NRA-award stuff is more in the latter category, from my point of view. And the President of the United States was there. So yes, I’d say that kind of thing is definitely more remarkable.

So who IS the coolest famous liberal in America? Inquiring minds want to know. The coolest famous liberal in American will always be and has always been Barbarella. Or the Great Tyrant. Talk about a rack. Or maybe the Matmos qualifies. It was sexily redistributive, anyway.

Chun the Affected: “I can think of two very good reasons for not splitting an infinitive: 1. Because you feel that the rules of English ought to conform to the grammatical precepts of a language that died a thousand years ago. 2. Because you wish to cling to a pointless affectation of usage that is without the support of any recognized authority of the last 200 years, even at the cost of composing sentences that are ambiguous, inelegant, and patently contorted. It is exceedingly difficult to find any authority who condemns the split infinitive – Theodore Bernstein, H. W. Fowler, Ernest Gowers, Eric Partridge, Rudolph Flesch, Wilson Follett, Roy H. Copperud, and others too tedious to enumerate here all agree that there is no logical reason not to split an infinitive.”—Bill Bryson, Mother Tongue, 1990 Belle: Point taken.

Dan, come on. You gotta be fair. Haven’t you seen the picture of Kerry’s daughter. (Stepdaughter?) I mean, no way anyone showed up the the ACU wearing a dress like that!

I’d like to point out that even Republicans like my cock.

Checking out her rack? What on earth were they thinking? More likely, considering the kind of person who goes to these events, they were checking out her nametag. Always networking. Now, if I’d been there I’d have been checking out her ass. I hear Wonkette is really into the ass-fucking. But she’s got a thing for Kerry’s thing, so there’s no hope for an ordinary guy like me.

Free conservative checking out, free! Those damn libruls noticing being checked out by the moral clarity crowd! The nerve of it! We all know that conservatives don’t check out. They are merely unafraid to fight the librul political correctness tyranny. And there’s no unhealthy fetishization of penis replacement. Just a defense of the second amendment. And we’re of course not the party of sexual misery. It’s not really misery if we choose it, is it? Damn, any normal broad should have been honored to get some attention by all these – grrrowl – steely eyed, square jawed, pry-from-my-cold-dead-hands Men, before they ride their suv in the sunset. Did i mention clinton was bad, and the left whiny?

If Dan thinks the only alternative to “rack-checking” is an asexual soiree, he needs to get to a better class of party. Whether the US Democrats host such parties is beyond my level of professional expertise, so maybe their parties are “equi-lame”. Maybe.

Obeah wrote: “Please tell me this didn’t actually happen.” I saw it on C-SPAN several years ago. It may have been a NOW rally rather than NARAL, and the music was recorded rather than live, but, in any case, it was very odd.

mm, I believe in that case we would have sexual harassment by the patriarchical establishment. The stereotypical wicked no-fun hypocritical knee-jerking liberals do it right would only condone that as normal healthy normal male human behavior if it were based in some culture that was reasonably Other, I’m sure. If you’re going to mock us do it right!

I left out Dennis Miller. If only Miller were as funny as that monkey. He could make a career in showbiz.
