Just got back from a night on the town. I need grease. And carbs. And fluids.

This is totally random, but how many of you men use a shaving brush and shaving soap instead of canned shaving cream? I made the switch about 15 years ago, and now shaving is an elaborate and luxurious process, and I like the brush and soap so much better than throwing gillette crap gel on my face.
Just curious. Especially since it feels so much better, you get a closer shave, and it is so much cheaper than buying that canned gel shit.
Inquiring Minds Want…No…Need To Know
Like Soonergrunt, I’ve been AWOL on the story of the millennium, the apotheosis (into Wingnut Heaven, AKA Google-is-forever-purgatory) of George Tierney Jr. of Greenville, SC.
But in honor of Hilary Rosner Rosen and brigades of clueless Village hive-mind nodes, I think we really need to know: what does Mitt Romney think of his fervent supporter, George Tierney Jr. of Greenville SC?
*
Does he stand by his characterization of Sandra Fluke? Or of our president? I believe the question needs to be asked, since such a prominent supporter — just Google, George Tierney Jr. of Greenville, SC — has expressed himself so unmistakably about the character of and epithets appropriate to President Obama and Ms. Sandra Fluke.
If the media does not press Mr. Romney or his spokesmen and surrogates on this matter, how is the electorate to judge whether or not Mr. Romney agrees with the words of George Tierney Jr. of Greenville, SC, who has made it so clear how deeply he hopes Mr. Romney will defeat the new sheriff President Obama?
Perhaps one need not ask.
Given that so many have simply concluded that Hilary Rosner Rosen [do brain bubbles dream of electric sheep?], who has no connection with the White House, does speak for the President, how can we doubt that misogynist and racist rhetoric from George Tierney Jr. of Greenville, SC similarly expresses the deepest views, the from-the-heart conviction of the Romney campaign.
How not?
And on a happier note — one of the real pleasures of sharing living quarters with a twelve year old is that you come into contact with stuff like this.
I’m not sure what it says about me, but I find it ridiculously amusing.

Just because I hadn’t gotten on the scoreboard yet.
He was interviewed by Glossynews just before he took down his twitter account, which he has subsequently restarted (@geotie2323):
Apparently Tbogg is actually Jennifer something:
GlossyNews.com – Are you actually planning legal action or have you decided yet?
George Tierney – Oh I’m going to have legal action, yeah. I’m planning legal action against tbogg, whoever tbogg is, and I think it’s a female. Let me go back here I’ll tell you exactly who tbogg is … Female name that came back was Jennifer something, yeah she’s going to get legal action against her because she’s the one that started all this crap against me.
It just goes downhill from there. Apparently, one can become the perfect Muslim by getting oneself thrown out of the “muslim church” and renaming oneself after a cheese company:
GlossyNews.com – I have not heard that.
George Tierney – Yep, it’s in the news. It’s also a fact that you can be a muslim and you can go to the top echelon and you can go to them and request Chakira [sp] where you can renounce your faith in front of God, man and everybody else in order to get what the muslims desire, and that’s what Barack Obama has done. He went to, he got thrown out of wherever he was born, he was born in Kenya, but his name was changed to George Sorrento and it was never changed back legally when he moved back to the United States. He grew up over in Kenya and a couple other places over there. I’ve got it all right in front of me, I can send it all to you if you want.
So I’d like to ask George Tierney, Jr. of Greenville, South Carolina, “dude, when are you going to close your Goddamn salad tosser?

Poseur Alert
I have tears streaming down my face:
I might add that it was strange arriving at Harvard to discover that the only non-left-liberals in the faculty were Straussians. The concept of a conservatism that was not dogmatic, that did not rest on eternal truths to be found in Plato and Aristotle but on the prudential management of contingent liberal societies … well, I realized I had left it all behind in Britain. I just had my Oakeshott in the Widener library for succor.
Drink, bitches.
me confused
Am I missing something here? Sully has given an Yglesias award to someone saying that we need to cut Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, and defense. That person is Kevin Williamson of the National Review. I thought the Yglesias Award was for becoming increasingly indistinguishable from Mickey Kaus going against “your side,” which is understood to be an inherently principled thing in the eyes of the Beltway. (In reality, bullshit.) But a person at NRO calling for cuts to the three pillars of our social safety net (PPACA is on its way to becoming the fourth) seems like a dog bites man story to me, even if its ostensibly criticism of Romney. Yeah, I get that he threw in defense, but nobody believes a Republican president is going to sign any bill that throws cuts at the Pentagon. I’m not sure I get the reason for the award.
Perhaps the reality is just that, in today’s climate, a Republican saying “three for us, one for you” is about as close to cooperation as the GOP’s ever going to get.
