His fecal ruminations have been spattering the editorial pages & Sunday news shows of America for longer than I've been alive; longevity deserves recognition, and even a certain respect. It's undeniably true that Cal has forgotten more about servicing Powerful Scum than most of the supine, amoral lizards competing here will ever learn. <br /> This worthy contest, however, is not about Talent, or Endurance, or even Gag-Reflex Suppression (though I cannot deny that particular skill is vital, if one looks to compete at this level).<br /> It is about Headshots. As scott put it "...the task before the Judges was a simple one: imagine that the NRO cruise ship is the RMS Titanic, and decide which Speaker (based on his or her headshot) you would most like to see re-enact Leonardo DiCaprio's final scene.". <br /> I must disagree with the majority of excellent and admirable Judges here when I say, by that standard alone, Mark Steyn has been robbed of his crown. Mr. Thomas's entry gives the impression that immediateley prior to the photo session he had taken a three-days-of-corn-tacos dump on FDR's grave. I don't deny it's a strong entry. In defense of my position, however, I must point out that Cal Thomas always looks that way.<br /> Mark Steyn, in contrast, had to dig deep. He reached down inside himself, and pulled up from the sewer of his psyche a gem of pure and unadulterated narcissism. A Zoolanderian Look beyond Evil or Silliness. Riley, susan, or scott might perhaps find the words with which to parody it, if anyone could; it is beyond my abilities. <br /> Thus, this gauche public dissent from the will of the majority. I don't expect to change any minds, and I hope no one takes this as an indication of bad feelings on the part of the author. From here on out, I will hold my peace. <br /> As proof of my good sportsmanship, I would like congratulate Miss Wingnut on the victory, and offer my fond hopes that Hurricane Irene proves as accurate and effective as the iceberg was. <br /> <br />ps- "Transylvanian waiter affect". I peed myself a little laughing at that.Kordohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567628870354015474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-11354493239548685112011-08-24T21:04:03.935-07:002011-08-24T21:04:03.935-07:00A giant game of Clue At Sea!

Per Richard Armour, author of the exhaustive history of warfare, It All Started with Stones and Clubs, the Hittites were pioneers, introducing the concept of choice into the fates of vanquished enemies, "would you rather be impaled or flayed, they would ask considerately".<br /><br />Chris, but Lileks would never want to be associated with labor rights, even fictionally. Remember Cook, Jr. in Hammett? <br /><br />Hammett: "Kit, this is Eli, the last of the IWW organizers."<br />Kit: "Are you really a Wobbly?"<br />Eli: "Ah, no, that's just Hammett talkin', what I am now is more of an anarchist, with syndicalist tendencies".<br /><br />BidzilibaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-2083259892342225502011-08-24T15:47:57.204-07:002011-08-24T15:47:57.204-07:00Perhaps some Greenpeace "terrorists" wil...Perhaps some Greenpeace "terrorists" will go after them.
