…. Or just show him this:
The team behind “Kill Your Darlings” is planning a reunion in another collegiate setting, as Daniel Radcliffe and Dane DeHaan are attached to star as Lee Atwater and Karl Rove, respectively, in John Krokidas’ sophomore feature “College Republicans,” multiple individuals familiar with the indie project have told TheWrap…
Based on true events from 1973, the story finds aspiring politician Karl Rove (DeHaan) running a dirty campaign for national College Republican Chairman under the guidance of campaign manager Lee Atwater (Radcliffe). The duo take a spirited road trip to drum up support for Rove’s candidacy…

I have to admit that even though I don’t watch shows like American Idol or The Voice with much regularity, I don’t think I missed an episode of The Voice the season that Shakira took Christine Agulera’s place. She is as smart as a whip, funny, charming and self-deprecating. However, I don’t think those are the qualities that T-Bogg so admires.

I keep waiting for Brooksie to fade into irrelevance. He’s an old fud before his time, and would rather assemble theoretical worlds in his head and solve their problems than take a glance at the messy and irrational state of humanity. How did he show up at the doorstep of the NYT without a single useful idea, and why did they hire him?

He has never done anything other than punditry, even in school. Buckley, of course, snapped him right up – that fascist douchebag always recognized a propagandist when he saw one. Wouldn’t let him run the joint, though – NR is Catholic in culture, and having a Jew run it was a nonstarter.
Ultraviolet Thunder
I’ll say this for David Brooks: he sounds reasonable on the radio. I was in the car for about 11 hours total over the last 2 days and listened to a lot of NPR. They did their weekly Brooks/Dionne thing. Brooks sounds rational, calm and intelligent until you turn the slightest attention to his actual words. Then the clown pops out of the box.
OzarkHillbilly
@Ultraviolet Thunder: Making the crazy sound reasonable, and the reasonable sound crazy, are his stock in trade.

Brooks’ job is to keep the third class passengers calm while the first class ones get to the life boats. As long as they don’t panic and rush the line everything will be alright . . . for the first class, everyone else is going down with the ship. Thats why He speaks calmly and soothingly, its his job.
When he is on NPR all I hear is “Nearer My God To Thee” wha-wha’ing out like a Charlie Brown special

I was trying to say that Steve Karnacki should get an award for his reporting. I spent a long time thinking that award was a prohibited word before realizing the problem.

Karnacki is killing it this morning – he’s broken the code about how and where the Sandy money disappears. Christie’s a filthy money grubbing lying whore surrounded by sycophantic greedy psychopaths. He’s deader than dead politically.

I agree. Kornacki has been just stellar. Not just with breaking news, but in putting it all in context. He’s single handedly the Woodward and Bernstein of this story. The local papers have also been just fantastic. But Kornacki is the star of this show.

more evidence that I am older than the hills.
I watched that video with shakira and rhianna, noted to myself vaguely that they were pretty girls, and then got really incensed, really pissed off, when I saw them smoking cigars.
“Why the hell are they still peddling death to young people? Why is this legal, why would these two condone it, who has bought them off? This is appalling!”
Yup, that’s right. I’m at an age where the only thing that reliably gets aroused is my sense of outrage.

Ah, Shakira finally made it to the front page of Balloon Juice. Awesome. I just adore her. Anyone who has the guts to have a pro-peace Super Bowl ad during the run up to the Iraq War and featured an anti-Bush Iraq War video during 2003-2004 on her first American tour after her English crossover is impressive. She also stood up against the Arizona Immigration Law and let’s not forget her building school for poor kids in her native Colombia through Barefoot Foundation.
Add that to her great Spanish albums. I just adore her and hope this duet is a huge hit for her so we get to see do a tour and more promo in the U.S. Because with her hot Spanish Footballer, she’s been spending a lot less time on her career which is too bad.
