Special Dispatch #90 – Big, Bad Books; Civil War Redux; Hungarian Porn Stars; and Some Idiot from Princeton

Kmele is apparently debating anarcho-capitalism with a hobo in Austin, so Moynihan and Welch—both fighting general exhaustion and an inexplicable, Carter-like malaise—decide to soldier on, gamely sifting through the Fifth’s ever-expanding mail bag. But what starts off as a rather calm and polite dispatch ends…with a spirited discussion of civil war, Michael Malice vs. David French, and an astonishingly shitty person in New Jersey. 

Some lowlights:

• When a French person tries to learn about baseball
• When your daughter’s a narc
• DEI is bringing people together!
• But anyway, rest in peace…
• Don’t mention Kafka or Orwell
• Be like Howard, people
• Bad books win big awards
• Academic books on Cuba always suck
• The root cause of East German neo-Nazism and the Hungarian porn industry
• Revealed: Matt was the lil’ Fred Phelps of 1970s Long Beach
• Three minutes on Chile, ten seconds on Bolshies, and thirty seconds on the Bolshies and Israel
• Before Covid, we used to be drunker
• Where do we come down on David French, Michael Malice, and the “national divorce”
• Fan fiction and rewriting Joe Biden’s speeches
• The intellectual trap of the ‘intellectual elites who hate us”
• It’s not why they hate us. It’s why we hate them.
• Paul from Princeton is an unfunny dick
