Dude #1 sounds like a total asshat who, deep down, views his wife as validation that he’s a complete human being. Oh and how perfectly white of him to “give her” her preferences.

This conversation’s sweet because of the relationship they have, but it really made me sad.

Do it. I had one when I was 18, and it was the best thing I’d ever done in my life. (Well, maybe not, but close.) That’s not cosmetic; that’s functional.

In fact I will make it a point never to see any of his movies, because he’s obviously such a shit.

I hate this guy.

Yeah. His message was so popular that he had to bring his own rally crowd with him — the Gazette’s interviews with the rallygoers were crazy, with these people from New York, Illinois, everywhere but Cedar Rapids. My favorite was the kid who said he had friends all over and had just carpooled here — the reporter asked…

I have always been glad of Stephen Joyce’s litigiousness. A thing biographers often forget is that for the most part they haven’t been asked to root through the family’s history and the stories do not belong to them. I’m watching the scholarly machine ratchet up to go make use of an old teacher of mine, in which…

Not most men, Dave. Not most men.

Not “eschewed”.

Barron doesn’t actually look stupid, and I’m guessing they’re going to have significant trouble keeping that boy any more on-script than his father is. Except he’ll be doing it on purpose.

If you look at a map of Iowa’s congressional districts, you’ll have your answer.

Well, of course you don’t find him hot. You’re a child. If you were 20 years older, you’d look at him differently.

This is bullshit. This is a giveaway to rich white women with salaried jobs. You should know that. Or maybe you’ve spent so long in the stratosphere that you don’t know how poor women work and live.

On the contrary, man who can’t spell. It’s people who insist on hugging their outboard penises who’re terrified of the world and of others. I don’t own a gun, there are none in my house, there never have been, and I am quite confident in my ability to go on breathing this way for another few decades.

Ladies and gents, I give you the genius IQ of the “mah gunz” oratory.

Honestly, shove that manhood right up your ass and stfu. All this bullshit about MANHOOD, be a man, manly man, is what makes the world so motherfucking bleak and dangerous for the rest of us.

What garbage, that first part.

Oh, shut your face. I’m so sick of this bullshit that you death-heroism fetishists pull out every time the completely predictable happens with guns. And look at you: a teacher and a kid dead and all you can do is pipe up to protect your motherfucking gun.

I guarantee that this is not what she’s drinking at home.

My bet: he’s an asshole, yeah, but mostly he’s just negative in a stabby way once you really get to know him, and he’s remarkably passive about his life, and might blame other people for it. If you start dating, he’ll tell you eventually about how people have hated him. Eventually you’re realize that they didn’t hate…
