It’s kind of touching, funkhauser, that you went to the trouble to point that out to him. Prolly a waste of your time, but it’s the effort that counts. (psst, IP! It was Pangloss you’re thinking of; put down the Cliff Notes, and read the book next time.)

No, MH, there will never be a more perfect time to use that picture. Kudos.

Thx for the support, copithorne! Modern Conservative’s “I am Leonides!” ran away with it this year, I think, but “Ol’ Blood-n-Guts” Shapiro is a kid to watch. Slavering bloodlust paired with zero historical context is clearly a potent combination.

I’m still trying to parse out:

It's from Martin Prince's Big Book of Cutting Burns. It's really meant to be delivered from inside of a gym locker.

Wait, nominations are different from voting? I was so misguided!

I’m still trying to parse out: Love your sanctimony btw. Your parochial certainties would make Candide proud, unless Papa Voltaire happened to be reading your, uh, revealed wisdom.

from aforementioned opponent of “wogs” (what’s that? didn’t George Jetson work all day making those?) All I can say is that you have the wrong character from the book.

Each one of those wanks is as special and perfect as a virgin snowflake. I cannot vote for one.

Also confirming Lowry’s starburst moment deserves kleenex & a winger trophy.

Rich Lowry’s “Projecting through the screen” has got to be included in any Year’s Best category.

It truly is wankerific. If you read it, you know it not only describes the post but likely his actions as well….
