Miranda Kerr, Parenthood, MILF Parties(?)
February 9th, 2012

I have no idea what’s going on in this picture. There’s Miranda Kerr, Legolas, a hot-tub, a Born Free bottle, a champaign flute, a naked baby, and a gaggle of people in swimsuits who may (or may not) be nannies/friends/other mothers.

But whatever it is, the Australian version of parenthood seems to differ somewhat from the experience I’m more familiar with.

here’s the saddest part of that picture: my first reaction was, “jesus that’s a fat baby!”

You had me at Legolas.

Also, don’t I have a cowboy hat somewhere? I think I do. Or the kids do, and I could borrow it. Which would be just as hot.

Living the dream, baby.

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…
