OMG! I hadn't noticed the name. So that is she herself, Mizz John Edwards blogging feminazi, eh? With her prissy, disapproving glare, unmoistened narrow lips and fake empathic laugh when Mr Foster mentions "slowly, painfully" gravitating towards a love interest.
Yeah, I'm sure Amanda Marcotte can't relate to that at _all_.
It is springtime and the minds of men turn to procreation. Let the games begin. As I remember, the women run and the men chase them until a woman catches one.
How is it that I make a clip that includes absolutely nothing of what Marcotte says, all you guys want to talk about is Marcotte?
Let me put it this way: if you link to a video of Charlie Manson and some other dude talking about global warming, chances are we're going to make a beeline to talk about Manson.
My comment on this (having just, finally, read Pride and Prejudice) is that what he's complaining about (if he realizes it or not) is that we do not have a formalized or understood courting ritual in our culture. There aren't set expectations so that everyone knows what they are supposed to do to even find out if they have an interest in someone or not.
I agree.
It's as though you have to decide before you so much as say hello that this is forever.... or... you get drunk, hook up, and see if it sticks.
"[...] all you guys want to talk about is Marcotte?"
Because Amanda Marcotte is the bloggingheads equivalent of a back issue of Famous Monsters of Filmland: the freakshow aspects ARE the content, essentially.
Marcotte has no audience from me. The anger at her for once being on the wrong side must linger a long time around here. But she has had her 15 megabytes of fame. Today's theme seems to be sex and the human striving to have sex. I vote in favor of sex. I recall God's first mission given to Adam and Eve after doing a full day's gardening was "... be fruitful and multiply".
"How is it that I make a clip that includes absolutely nothing of what Marcotte says, all you guys want to talk about is Marcotte?"
I think conservatives reserve their harshest disdain for people, like Amanda, who have no apparent talent or achievements yet seem to get near the spotlight.
"How is it that I make a clip that includes absolutely nothing of what Marcotte says, all you guys want to talk about is Marcotte?"
Heh, first, her name is directly above her blogging head, and second, she has been a magnet for criticism on this blog before. Thirdly, the innuendo and rejoinder you provide for the thread is rife with opportunity for tangential 'analysis'.
Or, more simply put, you could have had a game of 'Which of these things doesn't belong here', which, for a person such as Ms. Marcotte, seems plausible from a hetero male perspective.
If you both get drunk there is deniability. "Hey, we were drunk. Didn't mean anything." *shrug*.
Huh. I've never had drunk sex. Nor was I ever pressured to drink by the chap. No wonder all my dates went from first-date to serious in two meetings...
"Huh. I've never had drunk sex. Nor was I ever pressured to drink by the chap. No wonder all my dates went from first-date to serious in two meetings..."
Heh. ;-)
I never hardly drink and certainly not in college (and I've been married ever since.) So... no drunk sex.
I did, one time, have a sort-of friend of mine start telling me how beautiful and wonderful I was when *he* was drunk. Really drunk. And totally didn't remember it the next day, which was probably good for him. Didn't make me inclined to try it myself, though. I *value* my repression and inhibitions, thank you!

Yes, that's why secular liberalism puts so much emphasis on the "rights" to contraception, abortion, and sodomy--everything that is anti-procreative. Together they are modernity's "Non serviam."

I just don't like taking family planning advice from fictional characters.
Call me crazy, but thinking for myself has always worked out pretty well for me.
Has Marcotte ever atoned for her disgraceful behavior concerning the Duke Lacrosse false rape scandal?
Now that their accuser has herself been arrested on murder charges, you'd think Marcotte would at least be shamed - if nothing else - into retracting what she said about the Duke students.
Isn't Amanda a lesbian, or aren't we supposed to bring that up?
As for the other guy, he's too ugly & too old to be talking about sex on campus. I'm sure he got shagged -in the day- but they probably looked like Amanda.
Oh, and he writes for National Review, the *conservative* magazine.
We probably obsess about Amanda because of what she said about the Duke Rape case, to whit:
“Your beloved boys who scream “nigger” at black women and joke about killing and raping them may escape the worst charges, but they are not angels. You know it, we know it. That you defend them makes you such lowly, sleazy scum that it's no wonder no one talks to you. They're afraid by acknowledging you, they will catch the evil. Know this. Absorb it. Hope you enjoy sleeping at night, you sick, hateful bastards.[16] ”
And:
“In the meantime, I've been sort of casually listening to CNN blaring throughout the waiting area and good fucking god is that channel pure evil. For awhile, I had to listen to how the poor dear lacrosse players at Duke are being persecuted just because they held someone down and fucked her against her will—not rape, of course, because the charges have been thrown out. Can’t a few white boys sexually assault a black woman anymore without people getting all wound up about it? So unfair.
I'm surprised she hasn't been hired to replace Miss Manners at Slate.
Well I hope you have at least added it to your bucket lists.
Except I'm scared to die during sex ever since I read that Guy Burgess, famed member of the Cambridge spies, had to lift up his dead father from his mother, who had died in the middle of hot married sex.
I guess I'll just have to buy single malt and a defibrillator.

Oh so is that why he played for the other team?
unglat: n. From the German, meaning not smooth as in rough (sex).
I've already written one catty comment that I regretted today. I'll resist the temptation to pick the low-hanging fruit that is bashing Amanda Marcotte...
Ms. Marcotte appears as if she had sucked on a lemon as an infant and were unable to this day to remove either the sour taste from her mouth or the moue of sour disapproval from her face.

Just chuck a bucket of cold water on it.
Elvin Bishop I fooled around and fell in love.
"You get drunk, you hook up [...]"
With Amanda Marcotte? Pass, baby.
The bodily fluids I guess?
Love the tags!
Nothing good and sticky happens after midnight.
Once again I thank God I don't have to date anymore.
Amanda Marcotte?
Wasn't she with the John Edwards campaign before he got......Riele??
Is this about semen again?
How come you never do bloggingheads in your PJs?
The picture makes it looks like she has one of those propellar beanies on.
I am so glad I am married and passed all that garbage.
Age does that to you. And a good man.
With Amanda Marcotte? Pass, baby.

You went with Pointdexter. I was going with "Bettie Page Reloaded". I think you won.
I did not know Amanda was looking for "a man to hug and kiss" [for you Simpsons fans out there].
The Ohio accountant who blogged as Dennis the Peasant had a pretty serious Amanda Marcotte obsession. Very funny, he was. I miss him.
It is springtime and the minds of men turn to procreation. Let the games begin. As I remember, the women run and the men chase them until a woman catches one.
If there was any justice in the world, Amanda Marcotte would have cancer by now.

In the still shot the ceiling fan looks like bunny ears.
The sheets.
"How is it that I make a clip that includes absolutely nothing of what Marcotte says, all you guys want to talk about is Marcotte?"
We were supposed to listen to it? Okay, fine. Be that way.
(I got distracted by the bunny ears.)

Marcotte is just too radioactive to ignore.

Because Amanda Marcotte is the bloggingheads equivalent of a back issue of Famous Monsters of Filmland: the freakshow aspects ARE the content, essentially.
Just looking at the two of them makes you figure neither one has much experience with the opposite sex.
Or any other sex you're of a mind to mention.

She doesn't talk.
See... if you ask a girl out when you're both sober, then it has to mean that you've *decided*.
If you both get drunk there is deniability. "Hey, we were drunk. Didn't mean anything." *shrug*.

Like the spring snows, you never know how many inches you'll get, or how long it's going to last...
Nothing to do with Amanda Marcotte. Are we supposed to watch the clip? Will this be on the Final?
"It is springtime and the minds of men turn to procreation."
The above also applies to summertime, fall, winter, and days that end in "Y".

(oh yeah, add "whenever reading Blogger word verification words." to the list)
Al Gore and Charles Manson agree on Global Warming.

You see if the woman wakes up in a good mood.
The tags made me LOL.

For the same reason that if you included a clip of a debate in which David Duke participated, we would want to talk about David Duke.
Marcotte should be shunned by polite society. She's a sick and evil person.

Wait a minute. The Althouse Woman has a cowboy outfit?
In on another poop thread @thouse!
We are talking about poop, aren't we?
WV: rejusk:
If you're laying in the poop stain, just rejusk yoself.
Hooking up?
The absence of a useful culture is painful to watch.
Dogs have more rules than this.
There isn't enough booze in the world, Amanda.
Let's take a closer look at those breasts.
Has Marcotte ever atoned for her disgraceful behavior concerning the Duke Lacrosse false rape scandal?
Now that their accuser has herself been arrested on murder charges, you'd think Marcotte would at least be shamed - if nothing else - into retracting what she said about the Duke students.
Ah, nevermind. Libtards have no shame.
Amanda Marcotte is an idiot. She gives women a bad name.
How is it that I make a clip that includes absolutely nothing of what Marcotte says, all you guys want to talk about is Marcotte?
Professor;
Jeolousy does not become you?
PS Does your cowboy outfit come with chaps?
Young women don't seem to date nowadays. How do they find a mate? Not the hookup thing that sticks in the morning, surely?
Isn't Amanda a lesbian, or aren't we supposed to bring that up?

Amanda is a flaming idiot. She's like Crystal Gail Mangum without the charm.
WV: puspuli - well, that's both appropriate and disgusting.
You see if Amanda's dirty sex panties stick to the wall. Bets are, they will. But she's out the door so fast to get an abortion, we may never know.
"Yeah, or even in your cowgirl outfit."
Penny! from Sky King!....Oh baby!
"PS: Does your outfit come with chaps?" - Phil 3:14
Chaps, a cowboy hat and a whip... that's it. Just the bare necessities. At least one would hope... for Meade's sake. Just lookin' out for a brother...

I can't believe how much I learned about sex in this thread.
I've been googling for 45 minutes.

Is that Nurse Mildred Ratched?
Looks like a low-budget remake of Freaks and Geeks.
I don't know what's going on here, I just want to say that woman's frozen expression looks exactly like my ex during the divorce.
No love there, baby. Very little humanity, even.
If you put glasses on that woman she would look like the kid (Max?)from the movie "Rushmore" with Bill Murray.

Why are you lessening this place by pretending Marcotte matters?
I feel bad that everybody is so mean to Mandy. Give the kid a break. She might grow out of it.
