Please allow me to propose your next pledge project:

"We in the political class recognize the unfairness of banning robocalls for the private sector, yet allowing those of us in the political sector to make them without limit.  I pledge that neither I nor my supporters will use robocalling or other intrusive contact methods in any of my campaigns."

I was particularly fond of Ferguson's deconstruction of Jonathan Haidt.  Higher Gergenism, indeed.

I'd have gone with House of Games for Number 9.  And both of you missed my all-time favorite, The Friends of Eddie Coyle, with Robert Mitchum and Peter Boyle.  I understand that many of these Criterion Collection movies are available for streaming from Hulu Plus.

Check.  Although his placing of the Reverend Wright off-limits did strike me as rather . . . McCainian.

I love the wit (Jim Russell?) who referenced another cookbook from a Harvard faculty member: Bow Wow Chow.

Edit:  Sorry.  Probably should have given credit to John Courtade on Amazon.

Here's what Google turned up.

Perhaps, but I suspect he would not have received many Democrat votes had he been active in the conversion therapy movement.

Haven't read the WaPo in years.  Only the Washington Times.  And the situation is quite clear.  If the man were not a professional homosexual, the issue of his sexual orientation would not have arisen.

You fail to distinguish between homosexual professionals and professional homosexuals.

I miss Blankely also.  I console myself by reading Wes Pruden twice.

I cite The Washington Times with some frequency here on Ricochet.  It continues to astound me that the paper is not listed under the Ricochet "sites we like" section but the Washington Post is.

Yes.  It is what it is.  An effort to keep another clown like Vaughn Walker off the bench.

Here's a slightly less hysterical article from The Washington Times.

Zelig?

Bijou should just don a pair of chaps and head off to the nearest cowgirl poetry festival.

And thanks to Sisyphus for his community organizing skills.  It's always a good sign when a fair number of eager participants show up before the appointed time.
