John Hawkins of Right Wing News has his list of top 40 blogs, and IMAO goes to eleven. I feel like my own blogging has been slipping a little bit, which is just an issue of how much time I have to devote to blogging. That’s why I like doing the occasional PJM column to set some time aside to really expand a thought. Still, I’ve been putting up posts every weekday for a long time now, and I think I deserve my accolades.

But 40 blogs — that’s a lot. I tend to only have time to visit a couple blogs each day and then visit a few links through the Twitters. How many blogs do you guys read?

I’m sorry I feel the need to say this, but I am against men crying.

Now we’re going to have a new Speaker of the House who loves weeping uncontrollably. And then there’s Glenn Beck who can’t tell us some new fact about the Founding Fathers he just read off of Wikipedia without breaking down crying. Interestingly, I can’t think of an example of a liberal who cries all of the time; I’m guessing because they’re well aware of the sissy label and knows we’d make fun of them mercilessly if they did it. And we would.

“But you shouldn’t be afraid to share your emotions!” I hear someone to say, to which I respond, “Quiet, woman!” Emotions are a breakdown of your ability to remain rational. It’s not something to share, especially not with strangers. And crying is where emotions take over your face and causes your eyes to leak. It’s weird and causes everyone around you to be uncomfortable. You want to avoid it when possible and definitely not share it. First off, men should not be having lots of emotions. But if they do have emotions and you feel them taking over your face, stop them. Maybe punch something. If you can’t stop them and your face start leaking, excuse yourself. Don’t let others see that.

If you want to be a conservative, you can’t be an emotional tub of goo drenched in your own tears. I thought that was pretty basic, but I guess it needs to be said. Crying is not part of being awesome.

I have a new column at Pajamas Media where I propose an alternative to freedom since I think we’re kinda done with that.
