Democrat 'Metrosexuals' Hard to Believe

It seems that metrosexuals are men who aspire to be soccer moms.

In less politically correct times we used to call them "siseys".

I have been calling these men 'fembots' for years. (6 million $ man ref)

The Dims hated the message of the carrier landing because it celebrated a military victory. To Dims, it is NEVER right to celebrate a military victory. Military victories are to be investigated in order to condemn their own country for false reasons.

In less politically correct times we used to call them "siseys".

An even older term is 'fop'.

Main Entry: 1fop Pronunciation: 'fäp
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English;
akin to Middle English fobben to deceive,
Middle High German voppen
Date: 15th century
1 obsolete : a foolish or silly person
2 : a man who is devoted to or vain about his appearance or dress:
COXCOMB, DANDY

Deceitful, obsolete, foolish, silly and vain.

Yep, sounds like a Rat!

Matchett, your posts are always so informative and right on the button.

Folks, Matchett-PI is one of our most meticulous researchers and record-keepers. She keeps FACTS at her fingertips, so I always look for her posts.

The hard work of many of our diligent and and analytical freepers often goes unheralded, more's the pity. This is a tribute and thanks to Jan for her ceaseless efforts for FR.

Thanks for the heads-up. I will check postings by Ms. Matchett-PI regularly. Ms. M-PI, thanks for your work.

[Matchett-PI]

"thanks ..for.. ceaseless efforts for FR."

Thanks for the kind words, Leni --- but when talking about long-time "ceaseless efforts for FR", you are among those at the very top of the list! FReep On!!

[Matchett-PI]

You're welcome.

A Metrosexual is a Homosexual wannbe that doesn't quite yet have the courage to "Go all the way" ;-)

He is the best, no doubt about it.

Btw, when post a Steyn column, please put his name in the title. Makes it easier to search. Thanks.

There are always two things we do when we sit down and
write a song. First we sit down. Then we write a song."

One of the better cable shows was Sports Night, a behind-
the-scenes sports telecast program.  From the dialogue of
the two sportscasters of the show:

"We need a plan."
"I have a plan."
"What is your plan?"
"Well, first we show up."
"Okay, we show up.  Then what?"
"Then we see what happens."
"That's the plan?  We show up and see what happens?"
"That's the plan."
"I love it."

This guy is the H.L. Mencken of the 21st Century.

Yes.  With a dollop of PJ O'Rourke and Mark Twain.
There is none finer than Steyn.
