“Russia Becomes a Grain Superpower as Wheat Exports Explode”, reports (or, rather, “explodes”) Bloomberg grain dude Anatoly Medetsky. And, in fact, rising wheat exports from Russia are a tribute both to capitalism and “God” (or, you know, “weather”), but to get the explosive results he wants, showing Russian wheat exports surpassing those of the individual…
On Holiday. Have fun!
Harvard douchebaggery not exclusively a left-wing phenomenon, study reveals
Well, it did. I did the study, and I’m revealing it. In fact, I already revealed it last week, with my takedown of right-wing Harvard douchebag N. Gregory Mankiw for trying to make us feel sorry for trust-fund babies. Well, now I have a new study, and it seems that there’s a goddamn outbreak of…
U.S. and Russia totally not alike, New York Times says
The New York Times has an editorial, Vladimir Putin’s Outlaw State, denouncing Mr. Putin for, among other things, lying about the fate of the Malaysian airliner shot down over Ukraine in July 2014 and for continuing to support Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad in that nation’s ongoing civil war. With regard to the downing of the…
Shorter Paul Ryan: “I like being Donald Trump’s bitch! I like it a lot!”
Yeah, House Speaker Paul Ryan, aka “Lyin’ Paulie Ryan”, seems to have found his true calling: ankle-grabbing for the Donald. While the reactions of most Republicans to Trump’s performance in Monday’s debate ran along the lines of “Hey, he didn’t call Obama a nigger, did he?”, Paulie’s been in full gush, reports Politico’s Rachel Bade:…
McSingers—“Straight No Chaser”
More “Straight No Chaser”? Damn straight! The Münchner Vokaljazz Gruppe, aka the “McSINGERS”, work out on Monk’s tune.
Pseudo New Yorker
“Well, if I had a drag coefficient of 0.27, I’d have it tatooed on my chest. Well, not literally, but you know what I mean.” “I like to tell my patients, ‘there are no small rides.Only small minds.” “Just by existing, you’re adding four feet of usable road space in New York City. I think…
Good News!
Good news indeed! You may remember the unfortunately still with us William J. Bennett, once secretary of education and later drug “czar”—doing the same bang-up job in both positions—who has been harrumphing about the decline and fall of the “West” for the past thirty-five years and now is illustrating it by harrumphing on behalf of…
Walinsky Does Trump
Over at Politico, Adam Walinsky gives good head with the following: “I was RFK’s Speechwriter. Now I’m Voting for Donald Trump. Here’s Why.” What follows is a depressingly accurate account of Hillary Clinton’s Putin-phobia, her school-girl earnest conviction that Mr. Putin “needs to be taught a lesson.” Mrs. Clinton, with all her vaunted knowledge of…
Pseudo New Yorker
“OK, I should have said ‘I know a deep-sea short cut.’” “Unless he thinks we’re krill I think we’ll be OK.” “I don’t have an irrational fear of the great cetaceans. I have a rational fear of the great cetaceans.” “Well, for one thing, we’re both mammals. That should count for something! “I know they…
