Mr. Buckley is at it again. In a column about the soi-disant (I can play too, Bill, just not in your league!) Kennedy curse, he actually says: "A truly fissiparous incubus."
Okay, public service time. Merriam Webster gives:
fissiparous -- tending to break up into parts : DIVISIVE
incubus -- an evil spirit that lies on persons in their sleep; especially : one that has sexual intercourse with women while they are sleeping -- although in context, I think he may be going for definition #3 -- one that oppresses or burdens like a nightmare.
Enjoy your weekend and kids, please: stay away from those fissiparous incubi!
UPDATE: It looks like NRO has been hacked -- many links are broken and their blog is down. No doubt many will suspect a liberal hacker but we know a truly fissiparous incubus is to blame.
