It's The "John Podhoretz" That Makes It Art


(h/t @BlueGal who has a gift for spotting such things.)

Next stop, the Chicken Farmers...
...
But once purity itself becomes all you care about -- once  it becomes a distillery race to see who can get to 100% -- the chicken farmers are never far behind:

The main Islamist group in Algeria, the GIA, ended up being led by a Mr. Zouabri, a chicken farmer, who killed everyone who disagreed with him. He issued a final communiqué, declaring that the whole of Algerian society should be killed, with the exception of his tiny remaining band of Islamists. They were the only ones who understood the truth.

Wow. GIA is totally off the charts. I have an Algerian Berber brother-in-law; very sophisticated person even though "just" a carpenter. Algeria is a sophisticated society but one that never recovered from the nasty after-effects of French colonilaism and the brutal war of Independence. 90% of the population lives on the coast but a lot of the oil and gas is in that desert. Makes for serious class warfare and the usual Islamism. Algeria, the missed golden land..

Good morning, Mr. Glass.

Speaking of Twitter, you are of course, all over Mr. Trump saying he's Batman, right?

This joins Mr. Cruz' trying to be Iron Man...

On Podhoretz on Trump:

"You're a disgrace to the name of Wagstaff, if such a thing is possible." Groucho Marx, " Horsefeathers".

IIRC, Himmler was a chicken farmer, too.

If there is a Chicken Farmer's Union, it may need to do some PR damage control. :/
