This week we have the beautiful Duchess of Cambridge. On their “whirlwind” tour of North America (no pun intended), Kate and William had a little trouble with the wind at the Calgary airport. There’s not much you can do about the wind, but the key is can you make your fight with the wind graceful? Kate Middleton can and does.
Just for fun, let’s compare a couple of famous battles with the wind to see who wins. You know where I’m going with this.
Okay, I know that’s an understatement, but it still must be said. For the record I still think Kate Middleton is hotter. But the press is enamored with Pippa. Mostly, I suppose, because she’s still single and of the two she’s fresh on the scene. No doubt, it’s almost impossible to tell which Middleton sister is which in this photo of them sunning in their bikini’s. Pippa Middleton has some more, shall we say, revealing photos out there. But being the gentleman that I am, I opted not to post them. Enjoy these for your Rule 5 Saturday.
The last several days have been quite astounding in the life of this very young political blog. Due to several posts about the newly crowned Princess Kate Middleton, my traffic has skyrocketed beyond what even I comprehended that it would.
There are several reasons for this, not the least of which is the fallen state of humanity as Little Miss Attila describes it ( but even she knows the value of a little “cheesecake“). Imagine, on her special day, a modern day fairytale indeed, Kate Middleton nipples, upskirt, hot, bikini photos were no doubt some of the most searched for items on Google and all of the world wide web. My Statcounter page alone is evidence of that.
As Dan Collins at POWIP points out, it is a multicultural phenomenon, not confined to the unsecure borders of the United States. Stacy McCain, whom I owe much credit for this blog’s success already, adds this bit of wisdom:
It’s as predictable as clockwork that whenever any attractive woman becomes suddenly famous, some people will Google her name in combination with various terms including “nude,” “topless” and “bikini.”
One quick snippet about the wisdom of R.S. McCain. While reading The Republic by Plato I ran across this exchange between Socrates and Cephalus in the beginning of Book I. Socrates says this:
There is nothing which for my part I like better, Cephalus, than conversing with aged men; for I regard them as travellers [sic] who have gone a journey which I too may have to go, and of whom I ought to enquire [sic] whether the way is smooth and easy, or rugged and difficult.
Therein lies the wisdom of the Rule 5 post. But I digress.
While writing about politics is my passion, my secondary reason for starting this endeavor is based on my entrepreneurial spirit. As you can see by the ads and the donate button, I hope to make a little money while telling you with all certainty that Barack Hussein Obama stinks on ice (as Glenn Beck puts it so eloquently).
To make money blogging, one must have traffic. Either that or contract out your services or become outright hired by someone else. For the record, I do write for another large blog in a paid position. Although for the time being, I have willfully suspended that in order to pursue this. I’d rather have the prospect of making a little money on my own, than to make sure money writing for someone else (another subject for another time).
Let’s be realistic. In our society today, the HollywoodTuna’s and Radaronline’s will get decidedly more internet traffic than your average Atlas Shrugs. This in itself is evidence enough as to why Barack Obama is President of the United States today (once again, another post for another day).
The object of the out of character for a conservative post is to obtain enough traffic that some of that traffic searching for “Kate Beckinsale hot” or “Kate Middleton bikini” will find an Obama sucks post, read it, understand it, and think about more than just “Courtney Cox nip slip.”
I submit that the Rule 5 post as coined by R.S. McCain, is wholly conservative based solely on capitalist principles. Even libs who use the hottie post or the nipple slip post or upskirt post are employing these principles despite railing against them. Quite simply, the use of human depravity to help extinguish political depravity.
The way I see it, every time a conservative blogger posts a not so conservative post, we are in fact galvanizing strict conservative principles. Plus we get to look at hot women in the process. It’s a win win.

UPDATE II: Linked by Bob at TCOTS. The man knows a thing or two about Rule 5 posts.
I haven’t been keeping up with the royal countdown, but this article did catch my eye. According to Radar Online the total bill for the royal wedding on Friday is somewhere in the neighborhood of $34 million dollars. Yikes! Somewhere, Hillary Clinton is seething with rage.
Granted, most of the cost is in security, $32 million. But still, $80,000 for a wedding cake? $434,000 for Kate Middleton’s dress? Heck, I still tell my wife we should have saved the $900 bucks it cost us for her dress 13 years ago. Guess what, she agrees.
The madness continues with a estimated cost of $800,000 for flowers and $600,000 for receptions. Only the snooty of the snooty are invited to the receptions afterward. It’s like you have to make the cut for those. You may be one of the lucky 1200 invited to the wedding but that doesn’t insure you a spot at the Queen’s reception. And even after that, the guest list is cut in half for Prince Charles’ reception.
In true American style fashion, the taxpayers of England are footing most of the bill. Forking out a whopping $32,064,000.00 for the wedding.
Interestingly enough, the New York Times found that most Americans don’t really give a rip about the royal wedding. I think that’s a bunch of pap. They’re getting false responses because the royal wedding is one of those things you’d be embarrassed to tell your friends you were interested in. Even I want to see how hot Kate Middleton looks in her wedding gown.
So I’m checking out Memeorandum to see what’s going on around the old blogosphere when this little nugget catches my eye. It’s a story about the Kate Middleton jelly bean that some dude is selling on eBay for like a thousand dollars.
Sure, that’s an interesting story by itself, but what peaked my interest is the fact that I posted here about that story three full days ago and I was wondering why the UK Independent was three days behind little ole’ me.
Even more interesting, when I clicked on the story at the Independent, I happen to look up and read the URL of the story I was reading. The title of the article is “Kate Middleton Jelly Bean Expected To Fetch 500 pounds.” The URL read something completely different.
You can click on the article to see what the URL reads or I can just tell you. To my astonishment it reads, http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/utter-PR-fiction-but-people-love-this-shit-so-fuck-it-lets-just-print-it-2269573.html.
While shocking, not totally inaccurate. The Independent’s editor Martin King was forced to write an apology and an explanation that I’m still not sure I get. Regardless, it still gives me the opportunity to post this picture:
You’re welcome.
Is it just me or do some people have way too much time on their hands?
According to the UK Telegraph, a 25 year old accountant found the jelly bean and he and his girlfriend plan to list it on eBay for 500 pounds.
I don’t know about Kate Middleton, but the jelly bean does look like……somebody. Well anyway, now that she’s been reduced or elevated, I’m not sure which, to the status of jelly bean, Kate Middleton can continue on as the future queen.
I prefer to remember her this way. You know, before the royals screw her up.
