From Emily Friedman at The Note, "Ann Romney Says Campaign Will 'Unzip' the Real Mitt" (tip: Alec MacGillis @ TNR):

Ann Romney's remarks came during an interview with Baltimore radio station WBAL, during which the host asked her, "And one of the things, Ann Romney, that folks talk about with your husband, Mitt Romney, and I've seen him in casual conversation-He comes off very smooth and okay.

Bon of   the Vanity Fair s Below, 63 pieces of candy from  Cond é  (Nast)  c. 1914-1936, largely  Vanity  Fair  covers with a few early  Vogue  and  House and Garden  numbers as well.  The lush hermetic aestheticism of the 1910s, in all its ritual harlequinade, peacockery, stained-glass Tiffany washes of chromatic incandescence, sinuous Art Nouveau curves, flourishes of  Japoniste  exotica, and cameos out of C18 France, gave way over the postwar years to ongoing eruptions into the garden party of the social and artistic earthquakes and flashes of heat lightning outside, in the forms of boxy geometric modernism, burly big-shouldered industrialism, social satire and, into the 1930s, the lengthening shadows of Depression, the multiple risings of Eurasian fascism, and prophetic glimpses of the total-war reprise of 1914-1918 to come three years after the 1936 folding of  Vanity  Fair .

Feral Burro of Instigation, or, 2025 Mules: a Judah Spree de l'Escalier, scarring Kash Ankeri, the Newest Dal/Reaction Figure from Patel®

David French: "[FBI pick Kash] Patel is so absurdly devoted to [45/47] that he wrote a children's book about him called 'The Plot Against the King,' in which he describes the Russia investigation as a plot by 'Hillary Queenton' against 'King Donald.' "In December 2023, he told [45's] former adviser Steve Bannon, 'We're going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections.' "'We're going to come after you,' he continued, 'whether it's criminally or civilly. We'll figure that out.'" https://www.nytimes.com/live/ 2024/11/26/opinion/thepoint/ patel-trump-fbi-loyalty?smid= url-share Announcer: Hello, and welcome to this week's episode of "Ol' Jeez an' New Deez," a lighthearted interfaith interface that attempts to discern the ways, if any, in which those claiming to be disciples of our co-host - Jeez, not De...

The White for the Race House 2020, or, It's Right for Everyone, Idiot

American politics 2020, as ever: watching 10 million ants, each the ant equivalent of a 98-pound man, each bravely Donning the mask of a mighty warrior while clad down below in adult diapers, pretending to engage in a life-or-death fight to the finish over the world's biggest pile of shit. To take it with anything other than the world's most deafening Bronx cheer, or total indifference, would be to sin against, according to taste, either g-d, or one's divine self - or both .
