NRO The Corner Posts Something Inoffensive

Where are the starbursts?
At least there’s some basic Internet incompetence we can laugh at, together, as a nation. But this is probably the first post on the National Review online comedy hour, The Corner, that doesn’t fail every basic test of intellect and reason. [The Corner]

  1. Everyone said it couldn’t be done…

  2. Mark Sanford says at 12:33 pm, June 4th, 2009

    Rich Lowry’s very existence fails every basic test of intellect and reason.

  3. Serolf Divad says at 12:34 pm, June 4th, 2009

    I could probably give you twenty different reasons why Lowry’s post is (as usual) full of shit, but I haven’t the time, the patience, nor the inclination.

  4. GinnyRED57 says at 12:35 pm, June 4th, 2009

    NOOO! They’re not going to mix serif and sans-serif, are they? Disgusting.

  5. facehead says at 12:36 pm, June 4th, 2009

    He was trying to type “FIRST POST!!!2!!!”

  6. dijetlo says at 12:36 pm, June 4th, 2009

    and only ask that you don’t hate us and murder us in return.” Bush tried to deliver the same message over and over again but nobody could hear him over the roar of the missile strikes

    Is this that open thread for comments that Wonkette was promising?

    Here’s something: When I try to pronounce “Koran/Quran” it comes out rhyming with “moran”. When Obama says it, it rhymes with “moron”. This is a very interesting observation, probably.

  8. rereridiculous says at 12:45 pm, June 4th, 2009

    06/04? That’s day/month! Those anti-European bastards! Completely offensive, imho. Jesus Christ, who do they think they are, dissing their European allies in the war on terror. No wonder the US can’t get any respect, with these dickless trolls at the National Review.

    trucknutz, ftw, etc. Also.

  11. norbizness says at 12:47 pm, June 4th, 2009

    If the internet could fart, this post would be the equivalent of smelling it.

  12. 19kevin8 says at 12:47 pm, June 4th, 2009

    Looks like Obama’s speech exploded Lowry’s brain. Oh, wait…

  13. Texan Bulldoggette says at 12:48 pm, June 4th, 2009

    I anticipate some awesome twitterage from Rich ‘Starbursts’ Lowry to come. He & old Walnuts will have to arm wrestle for the most twitterer followers.

  14. Who is this person, and what has he done with Rich Lowry?

  15. WadISay says at 12:49 pm, June 4th, 2009

    It’s offensive, believe it, you just don’t know how yet. It’s probably a “test(icle whipping) post”.

  16. 19kevin8 says at 12:49 pm, June 4th, 2009

    This is actually just another example of the suck that is Thursday, June 04, 2009.

  17. SayItWithWookies says at 12:51 pm, June 4th, 2009

    dijetlo: Bush tried to deliver the same message over and over again

    It’s all in the way you say it. For some reason when Dubya told the Islamic world, “Our crusade to bring freedom to you uncivilized heathens would go a lot better if you just shut up and bent to our yoke,” its essential compassion seemed to get lost in translation.

  18. NoWireHangers says at 12:53 pm, June 4th, 2009

    Yeah, but Ken didn’t you see the Obama money shower picture at the top of the page?

  19. snideinplainsight says at 12:53 pm, June 4th, 2009

    postillionage - “Test postillionage on every SCOTUS candidate.” That’s what he was trying to type, he just hit the carriage return by mistake.

    Then again, why would that be offensive, or any different from the current process?

  20. hobospacejunkie says at 12:54 pm, June 4th, 2009

    rmontcal: Since Barry Soetero spent his youth at a jihadist bomb-making school in Indonesia while learning specific Koron verses justifying the killing of infidels, his pronunciation of Quron is undoubtedly the correct one.

  21. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 12:54 pm, June 4th, 2009

    ur doing it rite, rich!

  22. 19kevin8 says at 12:55 pm, June 4th, 2009

    19kevin8: Just wait, that suck will be reflected in the “comment of the day”, which will make me want to kill myself, or torture a kitten.

  23. natoslug says at 1:00 pm, June 4th, 2009

    19kevin8: Today could be worse. You could be David Carradine. Poor Grasshopper.

  24. JooJoo Bee says at 1:08 pm, June 4th, 2009

    His most cogent, thought-provoking piece ever/yet.

  25. 19kevin8 says at 1:12 pm, June 4th, 2009

    natoslug: =(

    Bill killed Bill.

  26. natoslug says at 1:19 pm, June 4th, 2009

    19kevin8: Hopefully there’s no underage ladyboys/meth connection to his death. Americans go to Thailand for reasons other than sex with minors, right?

  27. GinnyRED57 says at 1:19 pm, June 4th, 2009

    Nancy was happy that the new black lady kept the china looking so nice. And she could see herself in that freakishly reflective tabletop!

  28. schvitzatura says at 1:29 pm, June 4th, 2009

    Somehow, Lowry failed the Turing test and beat the Kobayashi Maru.

  29. dijetlo says at 1:30 pm, June 4th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: “Our crusade to bring freedom to you uncivilized heathens would go a lot better if you just shut up and bent to our yoke,”

    Which just feeds back into the “Why is everybody trying to oppress the white man with incessant demands for equality and (ick!) compassion?”
    Listen, do you people want us to bring the Vikings back? The Crusaders? The Klan? No? Then shut the fuck up and pick my cotton. They’re just too damn uppity for their own good.

  30. Mr Blifil says at 1:31 pm, June 4th, 2009

    Sign, signifier, signified BEEYOTCH!

  31. x111e7thst says at 1:31 pm, June 4th, 2009

    natoslug: He was “making a movie”.

  32. 19kevin8 says at 1:32 pm, June 4th, 2009

    natoslug: Yeah, they go for ping pong and dart shows. That shit is fucking AMAZING!

  33. GinnyRED57: Motherfucker! They do mix up their serifs!

  34. forgracie says at 2:23 pm, June 4th, 2009

    MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

  35. CorkPopper says at 2:24 pm, June 4th, 2009

    NoWireHangers: Ha ha, they’re “Standing Athwart Washington Liberals Yelling Stop!” That’s just wrong. Because one, they’re the minority party, they’d be the ones on the bottom. And two, if Washington liberals were underneath them (presumably sucking them off, which I wouldn’t put it past Harry Reid to do) you can be damn sure what they were yelling wouldn’t be “stop”.

  36. Yoshi says at 2:36 pm, June 4th, 2009

    rmontcal: I’m going to guess that Arabic pronunciation of “a” is similar to most other languages and is always “a” as in “father” rather than the harsh English “a” as in “Ann.” Once again, Barry’s being an elitist show-off with his knowing things!

  37. arclight says at 2:50 pm, June 4th, 2009

    Test post schmest schmost. He has porn on his other monitor.

  38. President Beeblebrox says at 3:05 pm, June 4th, 2009

    NoWireHangers: The last elegant black man I saw make it rain like that was Flo Rida on the Howard Stern Show.

  39. GinnyRED57 says at 5:52 pm, June 4th, 2009

    Gah. Multiple tab FAIL. Sorry, Wonksters. Call it a test post.

  40. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 6:06 pm, June 4th, 2009

    Sadly, Rich Lowery could not allow the one comment that ever made sense on the Corner to endure, and had re-edited it so that it sounds like all the other babble over there.

  41. shortsshortsshorts says at 6:55 pm, June 4th, 2009

    Like most Conservatives, it tested positive.

  42. All I feel, looking at that, is the dread. For the test post promises the delivery of a real post, a post full of ranting and raving and drool and logic that goes in circles til it spirals inevitably into madness, madness I say! DON’T THREATEN ME, RICH LOWRY!

  43. CanadianBacon says at 11:27 pm, June 4th, 2009

    Whenever I get tired of dealing with reality at work I like to view The Corner for a break. Sometimes when they advertise their boat cruise I imagine what it must look like when they all show up at once and get out of the same small car to get on the boat.
