Sarah Palin is better than beer. Is there anything she can't do? I went to the National Review party tonight, and Jonah Goldberg and I put our longstanding feud to rest, and came together over mutual lurv of Palin. If she can do that, just think! Seriously, thanks to Jonah for his graciousness. It's good to get that settled.
It was a fun party, and it was great to see old NR friends. And I got to meet two personal heroes, Ross Douthat and Reihan Salam. Sadly, Reihan did not dance or sing or attempt to instruct and mesmerize, as he did so memorably here. But the convention is early yet.

I love when a bromance can have a happy ending.
"their own surety firm, Mutual of Incomprehension.." LOL, very good, Scott!
I figured she was running so that she could cut back on her hours and raise her baby. She can call the White House every morning to see if Johnny's still kickin', then it's full time mom for the rest of the day.
Now THAT is funny, Ethan.
Anybody who knows anything about the jobs must understand that the job of Veep is a LOT less demanding than governor, which requires constant decision-making.
Just heard on radio, our local guy broadcasting from the RNC convention:
Obama/Biden want Washington to change America. McCain/Palin want America to change Washington.
I have high hopes for the new class of reform-minded local governors and mayors, and the growing move toward fixing things at home rather than looking to Washington for solutions.. The very impressive Bobby Jindal is only one of them. Sarah Palin is another.
Congrats on the reconciliation.
Mr. Goldberg has advocated surrender in the fight to protect marriage where as you have analyzed that the best opportunity to pass an amendment has passed. I always wonder how quickly Mr. Goldberg or anyone else at NR for that matter would advocate surrender on some other issue - say tax cuts. It's not that I think NR is disingenuous about social issues; it's just I think that social issues like protecting unborn baby human beings and protecting marriage are a lot lower on the priority list than the reader is led to believe, at least in the even numbered years.
Jonah Goldberg writes who book called "Liberal Facism" complete with a smiley face with a Hitler mustache and then acts appalled when he is questioned about it. It was an in your face moved and it was designed to help him sell books. That said, a lot people on the right would be pretty ticked off with a book called "Conservative Nazis" with the identical graphic that Mr. Goldberg's publisher chose for his book. It was an Ann Coulter move, and I really think Jonah Goldberg is better than that.
