Michael Douglas<\/b> — A.C. Douglas’s<\/a> unapologetic cultural elitism is nice as far as it goes, but apologetic<\/i> cultural elitism is something I could really get behind. A dose of Michael Blowhard, who if the 2 Blowhards<\/a> were a corporation would be Sales to Friedrich’s Manufacturing, seems just the ticket. A.C. continues to rail against common men and petit-bourgeoisie: Michael invites them to comment. There are logistical issues, to be sure. Certain topics, like modern architecture, would have to be left alone, lest the blog implode. A.C. has been banned from the Blowhards’ comments, and I hear they can’t stand each other. But as William Holden said in Stalag 17<\/span>, you hear two people saying that and the next thing you know they’re getting married.<\/p>\n

InstaClueless<\/b> — Several bloggers, including me, have been defeated in their more or less ingenuous efforts to summarize Steven Den Beste<\/a>. One man alone is up to the job: the world’s tersest blogger, Glenn Reynolds<\/a>. I envision a two-column layout here, with lengthy explanations of the ideology of America’s enemies on one side, and “Transnational Progressivism. Heh.” on the other. You’ll never have to read the whole thing again. <\/p>\n

A Turn for the Worse<\/b> — Eddie Thomas, of One Good Turn<\/a>, has plenty of brains but lacks mojo. I want a little invective with my education. Fuse him with some fire-breathing, red-meat-eating, gun-toting conservative, say Kim du Toit<\/a>, and you end up with the Sam Kinison character in Back to School<\/span>. “So Montaigne may still be relevant today. You don’t agree? Fuck off and die!” <\/p>\n

CCCCCCC (and two guys named Kevin)<\/b> — Colby Cosh’s Conglomeration of Cranky Canadian Cultural Conservatives (and two guys named Kevin). It’s a Report<\/span> reunion, as Colby<\/a>, Kevin Steel<\/a>, and Kevin Michael Grace<\/a>, bowing to overwhelming popular demand, join forces to provide the very latest on Hilaire Belloc, A.E. Housman, and their beloved Edmonton Eskies. Laugh — as they compare mug shots! Cry — as they pore over the balance sheets of the Citizens Centre, wondering what happened to their severance pay! Thrill — as they argue about whose turn it is to go out for smokes! <\/p>\n

Happy Thanksgiving to all. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
