S.E. Cupp’s Diary: What I’ve been up to

Long time no see, Diary readers! Been busy driving race cars, monitoring my gag reflex during Parker Spitzer, and culling together midterm election interviews for my slave-driver boss at The Daily Caller. (I hope you’ve been enjoying them.) But I’d love to catch you up on what’s been going on in Cuppville.

I spent a few days in the Mile High City, speaking at the We Are The People Rally on the capitol steps with my buddy Andrew Breitbart.

My assessment? The Denver airport is pretty, but a logistical nightmare. I had to take a train, a tram, a tractor and a golf cart to get to my gate. One sign in the B terminal (which does, in fact, inspire “terminal” thoughts) summed up the experience: “Gates B35 — B95.” This, after driving 30 miles outside of town to the big field and pop-up tents that house this circus. I don’t care how many Wolfgang Puck Expresses or Spirit of the Red Horse stores you have, DIA. I felt like I was at the carnival in “Something Wicked This Way Comes.”

During dinner with Breitbart and a few friends, I spoke to a lovely midwife who shared with me a very strange Bill Kristol fetish over wine and mussels. She admitted that she finds him so utterly adorable that she fantasizes about giving him a bath — as if he were a baby — in one of those suction-cup bathtub harnesses. Sorry, Bill. There’s at least one fan out there who sees right through all that gravitas.

I also attended the Washington premiere of the new Citizens United film, “Fire From the Heartland.” The film was riveting, as most of Steve Bannon’s opuses are, and not just because I was in it. In fact, if this film had any low-lights it was the moment when yours truly followed Phyllis Schlafly and Michele Bachmann’s eloquent analyses with a sermon on the considerable set of “balls” on a conservative woman. Needless to say my mother, the English teacher, was very proud.

And I took a trip to Washington, as I’m wont to do, to record a spot for the Republican Governors Assn “Remember November” campaign. I also hit up the Smart Girl Summit in Arlington, VA, where I ran into other noted smart girls Dana Loesch, Rachel Campos-Duffy and some adorably colorful activists running around in pajamas and boas….because why not?

Speaking of why not, the new Clare Boothe Luce calendar is out! Naturally, I’m Miss December, I assume because I’m cold and dead inside.

As you can see, I’ve been busy. And as if that were not self-promotional enough, today I head to Los Angeles to visit Chris Coons’ West Coast headquarters, otherwise known as “Real Time with Bill Maher.” I’ll be on the panel with P.J. O’Rourke and Andrew Ross Sorkin trying to avoid any and all references to witchcraft, masturbation or monkeys. Which is harder than you think.

Otherwise, life’s been ho hum. For reasons I will not go into, I found myself in Whole Foods the other day having to buy dishwasher detergent. I was left with two options, both organic, both highly suspicious. I felt surprisingly dirty buying eco-friendly cleanser, but the irony doesn’t end there. When I brought it up to the checkout counter, the cashier bagged the detergent and then asked if I would put the bag on the floor — because the eco-friendly, all natural, environmentally safe dishwasher detergent was burning her eyes.

So there you have it, you’re all caught up. I’m sure you’ve been up to some interesting stuff, but I don’t really care to hear about it.

I will, however, leave you with a pressing question: What’s a “Garanimal,” and can I hunt it? Do I need a special permit? Hunting season is coming up, and I just want to know if my sportsman’s license covers this delicious-sounding creature. Feel free to write in with answers and recipe suggestions.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
