Glen Reynolds scares me. I've worked all my adult life in academia and there's a certain type of professor who worries, deep down, that his work just isn't manly enough. You will find them on weekend hunting trips and in martial arts classes. Some become body builders, but they usually lack the discipline. For them, debate is life and death battle, but there's an insecurity that rises to the surface when they're challenged in any way. You will often find that they've had some ethical lapses for which they are constantly atoning, such as having been caught cheating or stealing out of gym lockers.
If you ask their moms, you'll almost always learn that they had nighttime bladder issues well into their late teens.
I'm not kidding.
Ah ok. I skimmed too fast.
Well, Althouse is being passive aggressive this time--part of the growing neurological symptoms of her alcohol abuse.
I just read Instarube's post. In classic passive-aggressive fashion he writes, "Do women not exist in Glenn G's world?"
To be fair, that was Althouse's comment.
(see the post above)
I just read Instarube's post. In classic passive-aggressive fashion he writes, "Do women not exist in Glenn G's world?" I am sure in Bugtussle this is a funny way a high-school dropout refers to a gay man when we wants to impress his better educated (but equally prejudiced) friends.
Funny too that Instarube makes the point, lamely, that Greenwald is just crying for attention. It just fries the Tennessee Turd that Greenwald's first book outsould his by about 3-1 and Greenwald is about to come out with another one.
How bitter, angry, and whiny Instarube is getting as his traffic plummets and his party continues to dive into the shitter.
If there were ever a man who was _not_ secure in his masculinity, it is Instarube. He is a whining, passive-aggressive punk, and he has a woody for every handgun that was ever made. Freud would have a field day with this rube.
The authors and proponents of "Dangerous Book For Boys" seem to be under the impression that in our oppressive, politically correct world, it is somehow "dangerous" to talk about boys building tree houses. It seems like a nice enough book with some fun stuff in it. But "dangerous?" Tabletop football? I dunno. My 6yr old son here in liberal Cambridge, MA plays with toy guns, climbs trees, shoots spit balls, rides his bike without a helmet, catches frogs... and he doesn't even read Glenn Reynolds.
I gather that, palms trees notwithstanding, Reynolds isn't knocking back that stiff one in Iraq.
Glad to hear that Reynolds is comfortable in his masculinity. Pity that merely socking back a resort drink in a Santa hat isn't manly enough for the rest of us, in his book. No, we gotta fight, bleed, kill and die in Iraq to earn Reynold's acclaim for our manhood. Not sauce for that gander, apparently.

Some old faulks souhng
Passingthru, the point is that neither I nor BT want to turn Iraq, Iran etc. into rubble. Thus, if we want to drink wine coolers, that is our right as peace-loving liberals. And not at all contradictory.
So where's your picture, then, so we can compare your manliness stats?
Puh-leeze.
I just noticed I have a old name clownsense that ie registered here.
I thought I'd say, "How weird will these critters get?"
Signed,
bebop-o
"You know, I have to read Putz every day"
I think there's an episode of "World's Dirtiest Jobs" with your name on it.
Dangerous Book for Boys?
I have to confess - I have a son, and I liked the sound of it. But I took a look and it was pretty thin gruel. Sort of like "Worst Case Scenarios" for people who found that a bit too spicy. So now we read Captain Underpants instead.
Of course every one of these right-winger fetishists of masculinity is a perfect candidate for Principal Krupp (blah blah blah!), but they do that to themselves.
Don't knock Santa hats. They're quite wonderful for man and beast. Smack that drunken kisser, though.
Nah. I'm just secure in my masculinity. You'd pretty much have to be, to wear that hat.
The Dangerous Book for Boys
You know, I have to read Putz every day, and even I didn't realize he'd linked to that book 17 times.
That's more than a little weird, especially for someone who doesn't have a son.
I'll bet he squats when he 'pees'...
And he probably wears his Santa hat too...
Hey, watch it: you're talking about a man who's read The Dangerous Book for Boys.
