Dressing for women is getting to be a lost art from what you see these days. Sounds as if the young Mrs. Edwards has not lost

it.

Comment by Shari

MY REPLY:

Dani, Mrs. Edwards, is a Southern girl of the better sort.

Like other young Southern women, while the rest of the world has adjusted to Modern Thought, she has not lost a damned thing.

I was amazed that Hollywood called them Steel Magnolias. It is so accurate!

Shari did not say “A woman dressing for men is a lost art these days.” What she said was that a woman dressing TO SEND A MESSAGE is a lost art.

Shari is not very trendy. Considering what “trendy” means today, it is not something Shari aspires to.

The first thing every “trendy” woman will tell you is that women never dress for men. The trendy thing to say is that women dress for other women.

This is supposed to “defend” women against any suspicion that they are out to get men.

Well, this “women dress for other women” is true. It is true in the same sense that a male peacock does not have his feathers FOR other male peacocks. He wears them AGAINST other male peacocks. Female peacocks are colorless little birds, like us males who are not pimps.

Many women, and not just women’s libbers, would say that Dani put on that dress to send a signal to other WOMEN.

If Dani’s outfit sent a message to other women, the message was, “I am a woman with a triple w that men lust after. Tough luck if you’re NOT.”

My suspicion is that Dami was not interested in putting other women down that way. She is a young MARRIED woman. She has already GOTTEN her man.

I suspect that her motive was to show the world that her husband was a lucky man, and a man with excellent taste. If one is a beautiful woman, one wants to show the world. She sent a message: “James Edwards is a man I love who has fantastically good taste.”

I know that the worst thing you can say about a female today is that she is trying to please her man. So let me relieve her of at least part of this burden:

There was egotism involved, too. She is sexy. She wants to look sexy.

OK, we have explained that, as Shari says, Dani is a proudly out-of-date Southern female who wants to please her man and show off a bit.

But we are still left with the problem that drives women’s libbers, even the heterosexual ones, up the wall:

Who was Dani’s outfit AIMED at?

Did she really want to say to other women, “I am a woman with a triple w that men lust after. Tough luck if you’re NOT.”

That never occurred to her.

Dani wanted to get it right and she got it right.

For whom?

What Shari said was that a woman dressing to make that sort of statement is a lost art. Shari is SO right!

I am proud to say that if you ask one of us totally out-of-date Southerners “WHO did Dani dress FOR?” we would not have the foggiest idea of what you are talking about.

My feeling is that it is more insulting to say that a woman dresses for other women than that a woman dresses for men.

A real woman dresses RIGHT.

Complicated, isn’t it?

Dani, James’s Wife

When a man my age gets told a stunning young girl thinks he’s attractive, he gets all giggly and irrational. So when James quoted his bride as saying that about Ole Bob, you would expect me to be all flabbergasted and talk about nothing else.

I am above all that. I discussed James first and barely mentioned that Dani, his new wife, told him I was attractive.

I will now deign to address this subject. James says:

Bob:

It was good to see you again at the conference this weekend! Too bad we didn’t have the time to get liquored up like we did in Charleston.

Dani has fallen in love with you. She has not stopped talking about you since Saturday night and wants to buy a dog and name it “B.W.,” in your honor. Do you have this effect on all women?

– James

MY REPLY:

Dani was at the Council of Conservative Citizens’ meeting in a dress that reminded me of what we used to call “evening dresses” in the 1950s. Women wore them on the most formal occassions. They were cut down in front.

Women were not ashamed to make it very, very clear that they were women with a triple w.

So Dani was faced with the fact that she wanted to make it clear that James had married a wow woman and to dress respectably.

In Dani’s case, the top was cut down as in the “evening dresses,” but the length of the dress was what we today consider average.

In other words, she looked classy but at the same time she was stating, “I am a WOMAN, and a beautifully formed woman.”

So here we have a combination of tradition and a statement.

Dani was dealing with a complicated statement. She hit the target perfectly.

But how do you tell her so?

How does a professional with words like myself deal with this complex phenomenon?

I smiled at her and said what I was thinking, “You are SO pretty.”

So why would Dani, of all people, NEED me to say that?

Sure, Dani is perfectly aware of her looks.

But when a man is sitting in the audience, he likes to be RECOGNIZED. No matter how sure you are of what you have done, it always helps if someone SAYS so.

Dani made a statement with her dress. She is all woman, LOTS of female beauty, and she SAID so. With women, what they wear is a statement.

If any man reading this were looking at Dani, he would be thinking exactly what I said:

“You are SO pretty.”

But with all the Women’s Lib crap, a modern male would wonder if he shouldn’t talk about her intellectual attainments first, or something more Relevant.

Let me repeat: Dani very carefully chose her dress to make a statement. She is a beautiful girl and that outfit made it very, very clear that she knows it and she doesn’t mind SAYING so.

Forgive me, gang, but when I see a girl like that, my first thought is NOT, “But I wonder what her attitude toward the Treaty of Vienna was?”

This is the woman James married. She is not worried about her own brain power.

Dani wants a man she respects to cut the crap and tell her that the statement she made with her gown was exactly what she wanted it to be. So a man her husband respects said exactly what she wanted to hear.

Every woman is thinking, “Why the hell doesn’t he just SAY so?”

I SAID so.

James Edwards is man who just turned 25 and runs The Political Cesspool, where I was was one of his first guests while he was getting it revved up.

He has a station in Memphis, Tennessee which holds a regular FCC broadcasting license. He is the only holder of an FCC broadcasting license whose station has been put on the Southern Poverty Law Center Hate List.

When the Memphis newspaper called him on his cell phone to tell him he had been put on the SPLC Hate List, his immediate response was, “You have just made my day!”

I have held an FCC AMATEUR radio license for over fifty years and have done a tiny bit of broadcasting myself. It may be hard for others to appreciate James’s genius in being bale to hold a FEDERAL BROADCASTING license in total defiance of all the hate groups like SPLC.

I am in awe of the brat.

James has already made a very serious run for the state legislature.

You can listen to James on the Internet.

Directions are at

I have now introduced James to you again.

Next I will deal with a more important subject dealing with James Edwards.

He has just married a wildly lovely young lady named Dani, who he says is in love with Ole Bob.

That I will cover in the next comment.

I am a buddy of James. I think a lot of James.

So when it comes to a choice between the important of James and the significance of a lovely girl saying she likes me, I am Puritanical enough to mention James first.

It is merely a coincidence that, in a blog, the next article, which I will devote to the lovely young lady, comes first.

A Secret of Real Power is NOT Getting “Credit”

1) At the Council of Conservative Citizens, one speaker did a truly brilliant piece on how today’s system is run by sociopaths.

A sociopath is a person who is incapable of true feelings of guilt. He has no loyalties.

Later this speaker told me he had read about that somewhere and it had gotten him to thinking on this point.

I remember that he was reading whitakeronline almost from the day I started it in 1998.

If you will look at Whitakeronline, I talked about this at enormous length starting about 1999, and every year I spoke about it at length in different contexts.

But the speech he made, the thinking he had done about this, taught me an enormous amount. He gave an example about an employer he knew whose business was going through a hard time. But that employee is NOT a sociopath. He says that he simply cannot fire his friends, workers who have made the business what it is on=ver the eyars.

This employer, like so many before him, will eventually be destroyed by his conscience. A sociopath will outcompete him by simply throwing out all his old employees and ovging his company to Mexico or bringing the Mexicans here.

He made a number of excellent observations and deductions about sociopathy which I will be telling you about later.

2) But let me proceed to the points that will be of use to you in this sequence.

Another person there is having his first experience in being a staffer. That is, the ideas be had been talking about to his chief went straightinto his chief’s speeches. When you are new to that, you have an experience which is so normal, and happened to me so long ago, that it was quite an experience to hear it about to fresh from a person who has just had it.

By nature, staffing is an invisible business and unromantic. You will hear endless talk from The Greatest Generation about their first combat experience or from people about their first love affair, but everybody I talk to who is staff has been a professional staffer for a long time, so I believe this is the first time I ever heard anyone who made me nostalgic about staff work.

He said that when his boss hit on HIS points, he was very happy,but he wanted to jump up and say, “That’s MY point!”

Now back to point 1), this truly brilliant speech on the fact that racial treason is part and partial of the whole disease of a sociopathic society. Was I upset that the speaker got started with my ideas, which I had repeated and analyzed so many times so long ago?

The fact is that if I worried about people “stealing” my ideas I would have been sitting and drooling in a rubber room before many of you were born.

3) one of our Blog commenters was talking about my discuussion of the drawback our present system of selecting political “commentators.”

The search for professional political commenters makes sure none of them are interesting. We have a professional political discussion comunity which is made up of liberals talking to each other and only allowing in conservatives who are “respectable.”

In other words, one cannot get PUBLIC exposure unless his every word can be predicted beforehand. They have no ideas, none at all. That is how you beomc a liberal or a respectable cosnervative.

But they have to find SOMETHING to say. So they have to “exploit” ideas from those of us outside the circle.

Which, with people like me around, can be made to destroy the whole PURPOSE for which this tight little circle was created in the first place.

I realized point 3) before 1960. But whereas the usual reaction to this is to bemoan it, I was not analyzing reality in order to complain about it.

In my teens I already had plenty of foreknowledge of how bad things would be.

I needed no new moaning material.

So I looked at this reality and decided to USE it. So I became an expert at reducing ideas down to the level where even conservatives could use them. My ideas had to be “stolen” to be used and made mainstream.

In other words I was a political staffer before I ever saw a professional staffer.

What I found was not the road to fame. This is the road to POWER.

Almost by definition, a political commentator has no power at all. If he isn’t saying the predictable there is a line waiting around the block to say it. He is famous because he has no power.

By the same token, the president has lots of fame but almost no power. If that particular man does not get his political position right to win office, someone else will. But the position has long since been mapped out.

By people like me.

People are always using political positioning as Moaning Material.

But where does this “positioning” come from? Ther is one “position” and another “position,” both too extreme for him to take. So he navigates in the exact right place between these “positions” before somebody else does.

That is the key to election. But there is no POWER in it at all.

Obviously no famous politician or political writer ever MAKES the political positions he is navigtating between.

The Professional Moaners act as if this “positioning” was done between “positions” that came from nowhere. Like everything else, these positions were created.

By people like me.

If I become tracable I become famous.

AND powerless.
