Oh god.
Last spring, as the presidential campaign was in full roar, Jonathan decided the term conservatism was so misused that he needed to write a book explaining it. He received a computer from his maternal grandfather for his 13th birthday. “In the Jewish culture in which my mom was raised, 13 is a big deal,” he said. “But since I’m a Jewish Christian, I don’t do a bar mitzvah.” (Decades ago, his mother became a Baptist.)
EDIT:
Jonathan apologetically described the book as a “first effort.” The second edition, he said, will have less about Thomas Jefferson and more about Alexander Hamilton and James Monroe.
Yeah, I'd expect so, since the modern Republican Party is Hamiltonian as fuck.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

I've studied the phenomenon of neo-provincialism in self-isolating online communities but this place takes the fucking cake.

Because Hamilton was a closet monarchist.

Wow, a Jewish Baptist named Jonathan. If I were Jewish, that would describe me at 12. By 13, though, I had outgrown that God BS. So clearly this kid isn't that smart[/Dawkins]

Closet? If so, then the closet door was wide open.

I'm sorry, I meant to say "Because Hamilton was a closet case and a monarchist."

On a whim, I googled "Aaron Burr society," on the hopes that I'd find some domestic terrorist group dedicated to assassinating Republicans. What I found was curiously ironic.

I prefer the term "Sam the Media Whore." It's slightly more accurate.

I was hoping the best thing about the election being over is never having to hear about that fuck again.

Well, second best - first would be Palin. Who seems to have gone away now. Though I enjoyed her porno.

Glad that she's found time to explore her artistic side.
