Her 15 minutes are up. No one in Minnesota except perhaps her most ardent supporters are giving her the time of day.
Paul Ryan flew down to the border in a helicopter and all we got was a stupid video on how we need the Wall.
But his Democratic opponent in the next election replied, “Speaker Ryan can just ask me what it’s like to get behind an M60 while defending our country in a chopper. I did it for real - not photo op”
42% of Michiganders would vote for Kid Rock over Sen. Debbie Stabenow.
Why am I not surprised?
Does One-L enjoy any sort of public position these days? Or is she just a private citizen who somehow gets her dumb opinions reported by the media?
That’s what happens when you give ganders the vote.
I really should have gotten more sleep last night.
This is how I initially read the first sentence.

Michele Bachman, a hottie set up by the city of Minneapolis for reporting hate crimes is fascist and a violation of the separation of church and state.

Sounds about right. Dropped out of high school to sell drugs. His biggest hit ripped off actual artists, as has no discernible talent of his own. Modern conservative values personified.
So 42% of Michiganders are fucking awful. Got it.
David “the poors can’t handle fancy lunch meat names” Brooks is at it again, with an op-ed about how the world these days just isn’t manly enough.

There is the slovenly “I don’t care what you think” manliness of Steve Bannon. There’s the look-at-me-I-can-curse manliness that Anthony Scaramucci learned from “Glengarry Glen Ross.” There is the affirmation-hungry “I long to be the man my father was” parody of manliness performed by Donald Trump. There are all those authentically manly Marine generals Trump hires to supplement his own. There’s Trump’s man-crush on Vladimir Putin and the firing of insufficiently manly Reince Priebus.
With this crowd, it’s man-craving all the way down.
It’s worth remembering, when we are surrounded by all this thrusting masculinity, what substantive manliness once looked like.For example, 2,400 years ago the Greeks had a more fully developed vision of manliness than anything we see in or around the White House today.

If I live to be 100, I never ever want to hear another reference to “thrusting masculinity” followed by a paean to the ancient Greeks.
In some ways, Trump does personify the ancient Greek vision of manliness, if you know what I mean.
In that he’s willing to leave poor children to die of exposure and he thinks theft is fine as long as you don’t get caught?
In that his head is made out of marble?
^^ Apparently Ludovic means this
Eh, I give this only a “2” on the Brooks Cluelessly Offensive Index.
His point was that for the ancient Greeks, “manliness” meant being a mensch – conscientious, righteous, honorable, gracious, kind – and that the short-fingered vulgarian and his Niebelung horde were preceisely the opposite of that.
I thought yesterday that Confucius and his gang would have had a few good points to make along those lines, but we can’t expect Brooks to be familiar with anything outside the Western Canon.
How did Pat Paulson do?
Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a wiener!
So, you don’t like gladiator movies?
No Greek vacations for you, then.
Hey, I had a lovely trip to Athens, Crete, and Delphi a few years back, and was NEVER penetrated anally!
Sailors don’t count, right?
