G Dawg
I was fortunate enough to catch the mighty Jonah Goldberg at Oglethorpe University last night. Jonah, of course, is a contributing editor of National Review, and founding editor of National Review Online. He's also the author of the bestselling Liberal Fascism, the brilliant piece of scholarship that traces the bloodlines of modern day liberalism from its roots in collectivist progressivism through Fascism, National Socialism, and the New Deal.
Apres-speech libations were at Pub 71, next door to the infamous Mellow Mushroom of several Jawja mini-meets. Unfortunately Jonah was hijacked by some earnest young wonk types, but I did get to speak to him briefly. I took the Velocisister along in the event of a pub brawl, the Irish being such notorious hooligans:
And, yes, that is a Peruvian foetus in my distended belly. I never told you about my brutal gang rape at the hands of Shining Path revolutionaries? Aye, Li'l Mao is due in April, and we couldn't be happier.
Shining Path revolutionaries? Dang, I thought youse were hookin' up with the shvitzy Outback waiter whose navel damn near poked your eye out. I kid! Truthfully, I'm quite taken by your disarmingly dashing good looks. May I give you a raspberry next time I see you, as a symbol of my undying affection?

Yer boy looks loaded. Or just returned from a KA mixer. Or the job at Citibank that his half assed economics degree by way of Jim Beam landed him. Is that judgemental?
The Velocisister's smile is obviously coerced by a snub nose stuck in her shoulder blades. God bless her. I know she suffers.
Posted by: bitterman at February 7, 2008 6:07 PMI'm sure you're pleased that, under the proposed Human Life Amendment, your Shining Path-Velocifoetus will have as many rights as you; possibly more.
Including the right to Shoot His Way Out of a Confined Space. Oof.

Posted by: Michele at February 7, 2008 9:56 PMYa know, I've been silently trollin' this pestilential pit of despair for over 3 years now, and it wasn't until I read...
"And, yes, that is a Peruvian foetus in my distended belly. I never told you about my brutal gang rape at the hands of Shining Path revolutionaries? Aye, Li'l Mao is due in April, and we couldn't be happier."
...that I realized that you, Veloci-master, are absolutely, utterly, and fantastically UNIQUE.
Most folks fall into a dozen or so recognizable categories (most bloggers into about five), but not YOU!!
You ARE the Veloci-GOD! The One and ONLY!
I stand in awe of your Unique-itude!!
(I think Rob woulda' loved that paragraph, BTW!)

It's actually good to see some meat on you.
Where's Jonah's other hand?
Why do you have that startled expression?
Posted by: og at February 8, 2008 8:07 AMat least you didn't wear the speedo...

Posted by: Libby at February 10, 2008 9:07 AMDammit if you aren't the spitting image of Chris Cooper in "Breach"! Selling secrets to the commies again, are you?
