TIME Magazine: Ms. Right
John Cloud has a good piece on the Right's favorite rhetorical bombthrower, Ann Coulter (subscription or newstand code required).

Thumos is a Greek word that we often translate as "spiritedness" or "passion." It implies a spirit of contention or fight, like having a beer with your buddy and loudly insisting that Dylan was cooler than the Beatles. This is an excuse for spirited posts that follow my more or (often) less disciplined passions.

"OK, little of substance might have been overly strong. What I should have said was little of substance that I can't get elsewhere minus the 'attitude' and aggressiveness. Maybe it's purely a matter of style, but Coulter just leaves me totally cold."
I'll be the first Thumos male to say that I suspect all the other males are lying through their teeth. Velma? Velma, for crying out loud? Gimme a break. Sorry if this makes me shallow, but for Daphne, I could write a song that's better than any thing that Cole Porter even dreamed of.
Mr. T., confessed Daphneite
