Late-night antics

Broadsides from the pirate captain of the Jet Set

Washington, DC

By all accounts the American Conservative’s first anniversary party went off without a hitch. My friend Prince Radziwill came over for it, as did Charlie Glass, a very nice thing for both men to do, not to mention Major Chris Meyers, a tough Marine officer who flew from Los Angeles. Well, not to nit-pick, but perhaps there was a slight hitch, something to do with my speech. I don’t know why it is, but whenever a situation demands gravitas, a little voice inside me always tells me to do the opposite.

For example, after welcoming everyone to a rooftop restaurant overlooking the Washington Monument and the Mall, for some strange reason I brought up the ‘gay small-penis support group’, and even produced a New York magazine article which had brought the gay small-penis support group to my attention.
