What is the deal with lying liberal media these days, those bad old legacy networks like CBS and NBC, filling the air with their bullshit lies? Deceit is the deal, and the Weekly Standard’s Gregg Easterbrook is on the case. Unfortunately, Gregg, in his role of “Tuesday Morning Quarterback,” tends to hide his epistemological light…

Unthinking the Unthinkable: All of a sudden it’s 1984 again
If you’re as old as I am you’re probably dead, but if not you might remember the strange foreboding that gripped some of us back in the day when the fateful year of “1984” began to loom on the calendarial horizon: It was actually going to be 1984! We had been bred and baked in…
Elizabeth Nolan Brown, getting it so very, very wrong in so many varied ways
Elizabeth Nolan Brown, or “Dizzy Miss Lizzy” as she’s known around town, writes the “Reason Roundup” for Reason magazine’s online site each morning, covering the news that’s hot of the griddle. Usually, she’s excellent—check out last Friday’s riff on the continuing fraud of “sex trafficking”, a joint project of liberals and conservatives to throw people…
Brett Kavanaugh, not so innocent. And likewise Lisa Blatt?
I don’t know Appeals Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh from Adam. Self-proclaimed “liberal feminist” Lisa Blatt calls him a superstar, and says his nomination to the Supreme Court by President Trump deserves speedy bipartisan approval in the Senate. “I have argued 35 cases before the Supreme Court, more than any other woman,” says Blatt. “I worked…
Rowdy, partisan Democrats prevent Republicans from cutting out an FBI agent’s heart
Those Republicans and Democrats! Those Democrats and Republicans! They fight like cats and dogs! It makes you want to throw up your hands in disgust, amirite? That’s the way such reliable purveyors of “fake news” as the New York Times (“Hearing for FBI Agent Devolves Into Debacle”) and the Washington Post (“Shouting, bickering, and other…
Political notes from all over
Maxine Waters is 1/536th as obnoxious as Donald Trump, Republicans admit Well, they would if they had any honor, which of course they don’t. Yes, Maxine has an affection for conspiracy theories, and, furthermore, she is a black chick who doesn’t act white, which in conservative circles is an unforgivable sin. Yo, Maxine! Get a…
Kevin Williamson, more peccant than impeccable
There’s a bit of a to-do in the blogosphere regarding the recent hiring of Kevin “Mattress Face” Williamson1 by the Atlantic, one that leaves me, remarkably enough, on the side of the ululating left, who are (mostly) mad at Kev’s pathetically “provocative” “jest” that women who get abortions should be hung.2 I don’t think old…
The Wrath of Farrakhan
Adam Serwer has a nice—nice but incomplete—post up at the Atlantic, “Why Tamika Mallory Won’t Condemn Farrakhan”, explaining why Tamika Mallory, national co-chair for the Women’s March, refuses to “apologize” for attending the Nation of Islam’s annual Saviour’s Day event last month, at which time Farrakhan engaged in his now standard apocalyptic anti-Semitic rhetoric, seasoned…
Stormy Update: Memo to Karen: Get it in writing, honey!
Earlier this week, I remarked on the lack of attention being paid to Karen McDougal, 1998 Playmate of the Year, and sometime playmate for Donald Trump, according to the New Yorker, thanks to the now standard avalanche of new scandals and disasters that now fill what we must call “Trump Time”. Why not at least…
You know who I feel sorry for? Karen McDougal, that’s who I feel sorry for.
Remember Karen McDougal? She used to be big. Well, biggish. Well, on the road to biggish, definitely, when it was “revealed” a couple of weeks ago in America’s bible of titillation, the New Yorker, that the 1998 Playmate of the Year had an affair with a married Donald Trump back in the day and had…
