Fatuous Moron Jeopardizes Recent Advances

I’m not sure which foot fits the title shoe more fully: Sestak or Folks. Will can argue the idiocy of youth. Sestak merits novel-length treatment. How about we do an FMJRA instead, and save the post-mortem on the second most famous Joe for another post?

That’s All, Folks

For reasons Stacy will have to elaborate, the blog became The Will “That’s All” Folks show over the last week.

    […] The Other McCain and Smitty (who never link me on their side bar because they don’t want anyone to know about the orgies) have been all over the sex thing and have determined that the blog-o-sphere screwed itself with all the weird coverage – or something. Sometimes they lose me in the maze of intrigue, but I keep reading regardless. […]

    I’m proud to say that we, at Uncoverage.net, have been all over Sestak like a cheap suit.

    I’m equally proud to say that Will Folks qualifies as that cheap suit.

    That is all.

    It is a tough decision, Smitty, and I sympathize. Your decision was the best for TOM’s readers and I know you did it ‘for the children’ and for the Tenth Amendment. God Bless You, my son. Pip, pip, old boy, for not letting the side down. Here’s looking at you, kid. Remember the Maine. Thanks for the linky love. Jesus saves, but Bobby Orr scores on the rebound. No man is an island [although Chris Christie almost qualifies]. Damn the torpedoes. Damn The Defiant! [great movie]. I really need a few days off.

    P.J. O’Rourke on what the print media should do to save itself–pre obits (it won’t work but it might as well go out being entertaining):

    Jimmy Carter is 85. We must hasten to throw the Camp David Accord in his face before he heads to his eternal camp-out with Anwar el-Sadat. Gore Vidal is 84. There’s no chance he’ll end up in the same place as Bill Buckley. We ought to take up Buckley’s gauntlet and slap Gore’s face here and now. Noam Chomsky is 81. Why should Satan have all the fun? We own pitchforks of fact aplenty with which to prod his living flesh. Norman Lear is 87 and will be married to Maude forever any minute now. (Although Lear may find himself forgiven. He never meant to make Archie Bunker a hero and a role model, but perhaps the road to heaven is paved with bad intentions.) Ed Asner is 80. Put him together with Ben Bradlee (88) and Alan J. Pakula, director of All the President’s Men (died in 1998, darn it), and you have the villains in the tragic tale of the American newspaper’s self-congratulatory ossification. Ross Perot also will be 80 soon. We owe him one Bill Clinton-sized philippic. Ralph Nader is 76. High time that someone, metaphorically, flipped him in a Corvair. And Paul Ehrlich is 78. In these days of the graying workforce, baby bust, and demographic decline, surely he needs a population bomb in his underpants.
