    But one particular reader, upon reading the last of said posts, determined the blog had simply gotten too weird, according to two sources familiar with the publication. That disgruntled reader was Howard Ahmanson Jr., the heir to a California banking fortune and the sole benefactor of Dreher’s six-figure salary at TAC, which is published by American Ideas Institute, a nonprofit.

    I love when I have a real job where I'm basically a court jester and my income is from the son of a capitalist who founded a predatory loan institution. My other income of course comes from Victor Orban.

    Remarking that he wrote “important things” and “stupid things” during his time at TAC, Dreher closed with a nod to a post he said fit the latter category: “All you removed were the Primitive Root Wiener in my Lucky Dog, and I love you very much.”

    why in the fuck do I gotta go to work and Rod Dreher gets to go to fancy oyster parties. what in the fuck, how is this man real :jesse-wtf:
