Kevin Costner’s “Highwaymen”: A plateful of fascism, racism on the side
Kevin Costner? Kevin “Dances With Wolves” Costner, who defended the Lakota against the genocidal white patriarchy? Kevin “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” Costner, who was, you know, the prince of thieves, and defied the, you know, genocidal white patriarchy? That Kevin Costner is a fascist? Damn straight, dude. Big Daddy Kev has had with these…
Kevie D. crosses me up
Anyone so bored and so feckless as to search for all the things I’ve said about Kevin D. Williamson would think that I do little with my time other than construct labored invective at Kevie D.’s expense, including such tasteless jibes as “Hey, Kevin D. Williamson! You’re a total idiot!” and “Kevin D. Williamson, last…
Yo, Bill Barr! God is the searcher of all hearts, not you!
A couple of months ago I made fun of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for presuming to question the motives of six of his brethren for being so temarious as to vote the “wrong” way in a case involving abortion issues: So what explains the Court’s refusal to do its job here? I suspect it…
Uh, Professor Krugman, I have a question.
I am (generally) a big fan of Paul Krugman. I probably don’t qualify as an out and out Krugmaniac, but most of the time I’m pretty Krugmany, if you know what I mean. I even subscribe to his newsletter, and why not? Because it’s free! (In your face, Milton Friedman!) But—and clearly there’s a “but”…
Yo, Democrats! Solve this border crisis!
Yeah, Democrats! You know I’m talking to you! It’s about time you donkeys got off your lazy asses and solved this border crisis! Yeah, I know Republicans controlled both houses of Congress, the White House, and the Supreme Court for two years and did bupkis! And I know that when you did negotiate with Republicans…
Yo, Mainstream Media! Bret Easton Ellis has Aitch Ay Dee Had It With You!
It’s true! Mr. Three Names is never, no, never! going to forgive you guys for the way you lied about the Mueller Report! Reason gal Elizabeth Nolan Ryan summarizes Bret’s cri de cœur/podcast thusly: "I want to state that I am not a Republican, I am not a conservative, I am not part of the…

Can trade wars today lead to shooting wars tomorrow? With Donald Trump in charge, we may not have to wait!
It’s true: Donald Trump is getting awfully bored. The whole Mueller thing, which looked like it was going to be so much fun, has gone flatter than that liter bottle of malt liquor you opened last night and forgot to finish. Where’s the sparkle? Where’s the punch? I got up this morning planning to start…
Uh, so I guess it was just LARGELY about the Benjamins
Last Sunday’s New York Times Magazine, which I did not know really still existed, had an impressive article by Nathan Thrall, “How the Battle Over Israel and Anti-Semitism Is Fracturing American Politics”, which, shockingly enough, confirms about half of what the notorious Ilhan Omar had to say about Jews, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee…
