This is eye-0pening: “TO achieve unexceptionalism, the political ideal that would render the United States indistinguishable from the impoverished, traditionally undemocratic, brutal or catatonic countries of the world, do the following:”

Just tweeted @RepPaulRyan to ask him if he had a Mittens Etch-a-Sketch too!

“I reject her philosophy. It’s an atheist philosophy. It reduces human interactions down to mere contracts and it is antithetical to my worldview. If somebody is going to try to paste a person’s view on epistemology to me, then give me Thomas Aquinas. Don’t give me Ayn Rand.”

Bach’s Gigue Fugue … a few mistakes, but he makes only one mistake on the bass (pedal) part – give me the time stamp for that mistake and you win some sort of book signed by someone famous …

He’s found Apollo 11’s engines and is going to try and bring them to the surface:

I’m excited to report that, using state-of-the-art deep sea sonar, the team has found the Apollo 11 engines lying 14,000 feet below the surface, and we’re making plans to attempt to raise one or more of them from the ocean floor. We don’t know yet what condition these engines might be in – they hit the ocean at high velocity and have been in salt water for more than 40 years.

Crazy money does crazy things … I can’t wait.

What the Rude Pundit said: “Ann Romney has lived a privileged, pampered life and she has done nothing that anyone would associate with a “job,” and that includes her stay-at-home mothering, readily assisted by nannies and servants. She has a degree in French from Harvard and her major activity is dressage (which, apparently, is some fancy horse thing involving riding crops and jodhpurs and jaunty hats). Rosen was addressing Mitt Romney’s remark that he listens to Ann on economic issues affecting women. Mitt Romney getting advice on the economy from his wife is like him getting foreign policy advice from Seamus, the roof-riding family dog. (Although, if you think about it, “Shit yourself until someone hoses you off” isn’t bad advice for a nation.)” [The Rude Pundit]

Rubenstein, an economic consultant, is a frequent contributor to MarketWatch and [white nationalist website] VDARE.” [Right Wing Watch via LGF]
