Bio

I am a nice, fairly smart man who mindlessly protested at a Reagan rally in college in Boston in 1984, but some time after 2001, realized I was being sold a bill of goods. I live in a particularly brain-dead, progressive part of a really brain-dead liberal city (Park Slope in Brooklyn, NYC). I feel very alone politically.

The blossoming of the center-right blogosphere is a revelation.

I tweet under the same name, and would love to hear from you. ParisParamus was created both for its sillyness, and because I'm the product of both an NYC suburb, in all it's commercial, superficial mall glory + a few years spent in said European City. Both experiences helped expose the vapidity and lie that is progressive-ism. Also, "EtoileDeLaCoteEst" seemed somewhat...unoriginal.

Thanks Monsieurs Long, Robinson, et al for creating this great place. To quote a writer I pretty much loath, the world is now pretty flat, which means that the tyranny of the left and liberals over media is dying. Yay!

A little less or lighter eyebrows, please?

All I know is that there's nothing seductive or sexy about a woman comedian. NOTHING.

For the uninitiated, pound for pound, the best Carolla podcast is the Adam and Dr. Drew Show.  The Adam Carolla Podcast is great, but a bit longer-form great.  Ace on the House is also very funny and wise, even though, in theory, it's about home improvement.  OK, I listen to them all; even Alison Rosen is Your New Best Friend.

Hey, any idea why I don't get this podcast in the Superfeed? 

Thanks for the Carolla interview.  It's interesting how I can handle, or accept the extremes of his sexual discussions because of his other thoughts; not sure how that works, but I really love the man's mind.

Pop-ups?  Here, never.  FF with ad-killer add-on here...

I was one of the first people to download the Obama Scandal Manager app, but soon learned that it managed a maximum of four scandals.  They keep saying an updated that manages up to seven scandals will be uploaded to the Apple App Store, but it's been a week now, and still no update.

Does anyone know of a rival product of this kind, perhaps for Android?

RightTurn, I'm showing my age, and it was long ago, but Joe Jackson's first two discs were superb; it was the time of good FM Radio in NYC (WNEW), Elvis Costello and the Attractions, etc.  That Jackson could plummet from Look Sharp to Stepping Out in three or four years is tragic.  Joe Jackson on that Shatner Disc (Ben Folds produced) was like a time-warp back to 1979--superb.

RightTurn, "terrifying"? It's better than the original, especially with Joe Jackson sounding like 1979 Joe Jackson!

Astonishing that no one on this Podcast could recognize a KNISH on the streets of NYC?

EThompson,  I think your math is off by 10 years.

Cool post; cool concept; meh execution. Especially since I'm pretty sure the real song is about a space disaster.

ParisParamus

Whoever picked the Pulp song, thanks for the intro to a band I don't know (except via Shatner's cover of Common People).  The song is about as close as one can come to a tribute to Bowie without feeling like a ripoff.

Also, thank you for the hearing testimony excerpt.  This scary movie I feel I'm living in, All The President's Sycophants, keeps getting worse and more scary.

Is JPod really appearing at JCC in Manhattan on Erev Shavot?  I can't find any details anywhere...

ParisParamus

Not GLoPodcast?

ParisParamus

In in West Nyack, NY every few weeks because my mom lives nearby. Mr. Podhoretz, do you wear a large or extra-large sweatshirt? So Tuesday nice at the JCC? I look forward!

I read a year or two back that New York State actually had the most natural gas potential of any place in the world (for the square mileage in qustion).  Can anyone confirm this?  Wondering if cheap natural gas will make opening up NY more likely or less likely; will the ubiquity and lack of damage (elsewhere in the country, including just south in PA) put more pressure on NY, or less because the price of NG will be so low...?
