    Watching Peggy steal Maureen Dowd's talking politicians schtick and then adding zombies to it is just to painful to read. And impossible to comprehend.

    By the way, when is the WSJ going to update the "picture" of Pegs that they use for her column. In that picture, she looks relatively young and feminine. Today, she looks like Chucky.

    In fact, Nixon used to refer to Henry Kissinger as "my little Jew". Ah, the days of mildly anti-semitic paternalism.

    She probably dictated this to her assistant as if it were the most abstruse statement ever uttered. Seriously, you ever see her appear on Morning Joe, every word out of her mouth drips with self-imposed profoundity.

    Thank you for changing the pic. I will pretend you did it to illustrate my point.

    Fun fact: Gerald Ford, a.k.a. Leslie King, has been--so far, but knock on wood!--our only male model president.


    Please note, however, that most American historians of the colonial era acknowledge some debate over the woodcut of John Adams (wearing a tight-fitting waistcoat and "low boots") that supposedly appeared in the wildly popular 1774 "ladies' pamphlet" Swains of Olde Boston Towne.

    How did they get FDR's wheelchair into the pool?


    Also, is it one of those hoverchairs like Professor X?

    @badass-boi: I've seen the home movies that still frame is taken from, on one of the biography channels. At one point FDR pulls himself up onto the ledge of the pool, and he's got this totally buff torso -- and these tiny, broomstick legs from the polio.

    You know, sometimes it seems that weeks go by and I see no references to this "Blakeley" person, and I wonder, why is this nonentity on the masthead? Then something like this pops up and it's KAPOW!! There's your fuckin' Blakeley, muthafucka!
