Posted by Bill *** I've discovered an evidently powerful new pick-up line: "Ten fingers, ten toes, I'm employed and don't live with my parents; come get it, ladies!" This phenomenon cuts across all demographics. You'll find it in families both rich and poor; black, white, Asian and Hispanic; urban, suburban and rural. According to the Census Bureau, fully one-third of young men ages 22 to 34 are still living at home with their parents -- a roughly 100 percent increase in the past 20 years. No such change has occurred with regard to young women. Why? I still might not want to mention the blogging, however.
Federal laws in Canada give a sealer three ways to hunt his prey. He can shoot a seal with a rifle or shotgun—provided it's above a minimum caliber or gauge; he can break its head with a blunt club (like a baseball bat) that must be at least 2 feet long; or he can smash in its brains with something called a hakapik—a 4- or 5-foot wooden pole with a bent, metal spike affixed to the end. While not particularly squeamish about man's naturally domineering relationship with critters that are lower on the food/resource chain ... yeesh, what an unpleasant job.
But this is less a reflection on Card than it is on Bush. After all, what kind of man would allow (or force?) a loyal retainer to do something like this? Answer: The same kind of insecure blusterer who repeatedly humiliates his aides in public with remarks like, "He's a PhD, see — I'm a C student. Look who's the President and who's the advisor." (In Kevin's world, they apparently don't have "unserious ribbing with a mildly self-deprecating/aggrandizing component;" just HUMILIATION! -- ED) Or who's so famous for surrounding himself with toadies that it's considered newsworthy when he appoints someone who doesn't decorate his office with pictures of George Bush. This is the central mystery of George Bush: How does this man-child with such an obviously mediocre mind manage to generate such intense loyalty in so many people? And yet somehow he does. Where's Sigmund Freud when you need him? You see Kevin, it's because ... oh screw it, nevermind. Carry on. Freud was an awful psychological theorist, by the way.

You would think that after 2000 & 2004 that they would quit "misunderestimating" him. You know it would seem prudent that Drum & his ilk would try to understand the "enemy". Posted by: RLS at March 31, 2006 03:49 PM The funny thing about Drum not understanding others' loyalty to Bush is how eminently simple and understandable it is. Bush has a great deal of charisma with those that deal with him personally (individuals from the opposite end of the political spectrum grudgingly, constantly admit this), and he's extremely loyal to the people he works with. So simply put, being nice to people and showing them loyalty makes it fairly easy to get loyalty in return, and subtle political, ideological and intellectual exercises tend to be overshadowed by interpersonal charm in interpersonal relationships, especially when one of the parties in question is the President. Shrug. Posted by: Bill from INDC at March 31, 2006 04:07 PM Well, if you start from the assumption that BUSH=HITLER then everything on lefty blogs makes sense. It helps if you color in a little mustache on Bush. Posted by: TallDave at March 31, 2006 04:54 PM Hmmm..sorta like asking why so many smart, well-educated people were willing to throw away their reputations, their professional lives, and even their personal freedom for Bill & Hillary Clinton. How many gave their life savings to lawyers to defend their actions? How many went overseas to hide out until the heat had passed? How many went to jail? Very strange. Very sad. Posted by: Clioman at March 31, 2006 09:50 PM I am constantly amazed at the way people turn anything and everything about this President into something negative. It's amusing, in a sad sort of way. Posted by: Dean Esmay at April 2, 2006 03:54 AM I think GW is a genius on foreign policy, average on domestic, and a complete fracking bio-luddite moron on science. But even with this, he unfailingly charms me with his humility, generousity and genuine caring for his constituency. The way he acted at say, Mrs. King's funeral, show the faults of the opposition in stark contrast. Posted by: matoko_96%evil at April 2, 2006 10:56 AM Dammit, put a warning on that last link!
