#7,031: Tell Oprah’s best friend, “Let’s get drunk and make bad decisions!”

This makes me miss you even more. Good thing we have a DVR. We caught a couple minutes but I didn’t actually hear anything you said because CML was busy having a “converstation” with you and then getting annoyed when you didn’t respond.

AWESOME!!! Seriously good stuff.

Galley Friend J.E. February 5, 2013 at 7:27 pm

I thought it was great! Smart, pithy, cogent–the holy trinity of book promotion on network tv.

I have to echo SkinsFanPG and J.E. — you were fantastic in that segment. I also thought the interviewers were annoying — why is every journalist in mainstream TV a left-wing drone (e.g. “Jonathan, let me ask you again, even though you already answered this question — aren’t you worried about overpopulation and the environment?!”)

I want more of you on TV — smart, handsome, witty — why has Weekly Standard been hiding you all these years…

Dear Jonathon,
Looking good. I have to add another book to my reading list. Keep up the good work. Say hi to the wife from Ted and Jessica from Wisconsin. We spent some time together on the Weekly Standard Cruise in 2006. I believe Mssr. Kristol and Barnes courted Sarah Palin on our stop in Juneau on that trip.

Sincerely yours,
Ted

I gotta say, beyond the humor of you talking sassy with Gayle, its the comments themselves that make me happy, knowing Im not alone and that there are other people out there who come here to get their fill of politics, wrestling and Civilization. Kudos to us for self sorting!!!

"We should have called it The Virtue Rises. Humbug." — JVL

In the midst of PC police, low-budget holiday movies, and mandatory in-law time, the only Christmas spirit on most people's minds these days is the kind that comes in a flask.

"It's long and it doesn't have Spider-Man in it anywhere." — Cody Last

From the all-star cast who brought you The Seven Deadly Virtues comes a book with a look at the good life… or the crazy-stressful-overwhelmed life… of a father. As anyone who has spent time with a child knows, fatherhood is a mixed bag of fun, fury, and failure. So much is lost—no more catnaps during football commercials, no more exotic vacations or impromptu day trips. And yet, as authors like P. J.…

"The best argument for chastity since Bea Arthur." — Andrew Ferguson

An all-star team of eighteen conservative writers offers a hilarious, insightful, sanctimony-free remix of William Bennett’s The Book of Virtues—without parental controls. The Seven Deadly Virtues sits down next to readers at the bar, buys them a drink, and an hour or three later, ushers them into the revival tent without them even realizing it. The book’s contributors include Sonny Bunch, Christopher Buckley, David “Iowahawk” Burge, Christopher Caldwell, Andrew Ferguson, Jonah Goldberg, Michael…

""A powerful argument that the only thing worse than having children is not having them."" — P. J. O'Rourke

For years, we have been warned about the looming danger of overpopulation: people jostling for space on a planet that’s busting at the seams and running out of oil and food and land and everything else. It’s all bunk. The “population bomb” never exploded. Instead, statistics from around the world make clear that since the 1970s, we’ve been facing exactly the opposite problem: people are having too few babies. Population…
