Duncan Black: Shrill, Shrill, Shrill

The epitome of moonbat:

This "national greatness" stuff is largely about appealing to a few peoples' aesthetic desires, and its an aesthetic desire largely borne out of inability to participate in anything which personally gives you that sense of greatness. It's imagining that if only your favorite football team wins, you'll feel good. You will, probably, for a day or two but that's about it. You'd get a lot more satisfcation out of joining the local flag football league and winning your own championship.

I don't think David Brooks need to join the peace corps before he tells me I should, but I think maybe if David Brooks would just go and join the goddamn peace corps himself (peace corps here being symbol of any number of things he might participate in) he might get something out of it which will make him less concerned with the rest of the country conforming to some aesthetic.

Outrageous.  Actually, like, get up off your asses and go do something that might contribute to the country being, you know, actually great?  That's just crazy talk.

I was watching an episode of Dr. Who last night (netflix), and laughed about every 2 miniutes at the name of a certain planet of eternal war.

so very shrill.
