America’s favorite humorist, National Review Online blogger Kathryn Jean Lopez, would like Little Miss Hot Slut Bristol Palin to know that this whole “sex” and “hookee” (?) thing is irresponsible for us unmarried gals, because it’s super hard to remember to take those birth-control pills every day. And what if the condom breaks? Did you [...]

THE 10TH, 9TH, AND 8TH BEST CONSERVATIVE MOVIES OF THE LAST 25 YEARS: “#10 Ghostbusters (1984): This comedy might not get Russell Kirk’s endorsement as a worthy treatment of the supernatural, but you have to like a movie in which the bad guy (William Atherton at his loathsome best) is a regulation-happy buffoon from the [...]

THE 11TH BEST CONSERVATIVE MOVIE OF THE LAST 25 YEARS: You knew it was coming, but this is something special — easily among the best Corner posts of the last 25 years: “Largely filmed before 9/11, they seemed perfectly pitched for the post-9/11 world.

THE BEST CONSERVATIVE MOVIES OF THE LAST 25 YEARS: “#12. The Dark Knight (2008): This film gives us a portrait of the hero as a man reviled. In his fight against the terrorist Joker, Batman has to devise new means of surveillance, push the limits of the law, and accept the hatred of the press [...]

What the headline said! We’ll give the Corner credit for the unrolling of this special feature — it’s posted #25 – #13 only as of this minute — which makes us wait patiently for the full list UNLESS we purchase a National Review subscription. In other words, they managed to make us consider seriously subscribing [...]

If Ronald Reagan were still alive today, guess what he’d do, don’t know?, okay we’ll tell you, he’d make sure that none of these dandy Hollywood Actors ever tried running for major office, he would. Such as. [The Corner]

In an effort to be “objective” and feel like “a big deal,” the Washington Political Press has decided Barack Obama’s 16-day presidency is in Crisis Mode, possibly collapsing exactly like Nixon, late in his second term, right now! The evidence, so far, consists of Obama doing pretty much everything he said would be done in [...]

The Corner has already declared Barack Obama’s presidency a horrific failure: “We are quite literally after two weeks teetering on an Obama implosion—and with no Dick Morris to bail him out—brought on by messianic delusions of grandeur, hubris, and a strange naivete that soaring rhetoric and a multiracial profile can add requisite cover to good [...]

The Corner’s eagle-eyed investigative blog reporter Lisa Schiffren — of the famous “Obama’s Political Origins” column this time last year in which she wrote, “But, for a white woman to marry a black man in 1958, or 60, there was almost inevitably a connection to explicit Communist politics,” so as to prove that Barack Obama [...]

JUST GIVE US ALL OF YR MONEY NOW: Peter Wehner of America’s favorite blog, The Corner, soon will be either broke or a chickenshit: “Bill Kristol… is easily among the most intelligent, creative, and articulate conservative voices in America—a fact, upon which I would be willing to bet a large sum of money, is what [...]

One of the first few things we thought of after hearing about Blaggy’s arrest was, “What will Kathryn Jean Lopez have to say about this?” She loves it! She loves it because it’s so easy to understand and fits into her Manichean worldview (well, she makes everything fit into her Manichean worldview, but this one [...]

Today is an exciting day on the Corner, the best National Review blog on the Internet, period. Not only is the fat Mexican secretary Jonah Goldberg yelling at slummy Kathleen Parker for trying to sneak into the Sexy Obama Dance Parties with her Gorilla God-hating cigarette dildo columns, but Parker’s ex-BFF, Kathryn Jean Lopez — [...]

There were always two of them, at America’s favorite comedy blog, National Review Online. It was the Rule of the Two, as written by Dark Lord Reagan, on Dagoba. “Kathleen” would be a clever writer and kind of funny and attractive, although still a terrible Fascist, and “Kathryn” would be, well, “K-Lo.” Obviously, the smarter [...]

Have you ever been at a party and had a swell time drinking fancy drinks with nifty folks and suddenly you look up, it’s 3:30 in the morning, all the cool kids have gone home, and you’re stuck on a pee-stained couch drinking vodka and milk cocktails with a pimpled, silent loser pawing your knee?
