David Ignatius to Obama: You need to be bipartisan, Mr. President!
WPost columnist David Ignatius has the following words of “wisdom” for President Obama re the proposed nuclear agreement with Iran: “On the substance, I agree with Obama. The agreement will provide clear, verifiable limits on Iran’s ability to build a nuclear weapon for at least 15 years. Those who think more sanctions can gain a…
Oh, that Earl Warren!
Am I the only person lame enough to make fun of Bill Gates every time I catch a Microsoft product behaving in a less than perfect manner? I wouldn’t be surprised. I was listening to music on my computer, using the Microsoft “Music” program, which tells you not only the artist you’re listening to but…
Hokusai! What a guy!
One of the nice things about the Internet is that you don’t have to go to museums any more. They come to you. Well, maybe not entirely, but doesn’t “Woman Looking at Herself in a Mirror” (1805) from Japanese master Katsushika Hokusai look terrific? There’s a lot more at the New York Review of Books,…
African tells Americans to stop worrying about lions and start worrying about Africans. Americans tell him to fuck off
Yes, Goodwell Nzou tells New York Times readers that *In Zimbabwe, We Don’t Cry for Lions” and they tell him, among other things, that “this is unfortunately the view of a small minded immature person ill equipped, apparently, to see the big picture. That lions and other wild animals are in many locals heading for…
Dave Holland & Kenny Barron—“In Walked Bud”
Pseudo New Yorker
Legal humor here “Mr. Outside says he wants to give Mr. Inside a hug. And I say Mr. Inside better let him do it.” “I’m just sayin’, an empty suit is lookin’ pretty good to me right about now.” “In this town, Harry, appearance is reality. And, in your case, that can be a good…
Bernie Sanders or Bernie Trump?
Is Bernie Sanders squishy on immigration by accident or is he squishy on purpose? I guess it depends on what your definition of “squishy” is. Elise Foley and Daniel Marans at the Huffington Post give a rundown on Bernie’s recent comments, in which he’s both pushed for a path to naturalization for the millions of…
Barack Obama ignorant of history, says George Will, ignorantly
George F.—“F for Fabulous!”—Will has his definitive take on the proposed nuclear agreement with Iran. Like 97% of George’s columns, the real point here is not to say anything substantial about anything, but rather to allow George to look down his presumably Georgian nose at his inferiors, said inferiors, of course, being just about everyone…
What I know about Donald Trump that no one else does
How do you stop the Donald? He’s bigger than Bush! So what’s the Donald’s secret? My theory is that he’s the first, and so far the only, Republican to go full xenophobe. Sure, everyone hates illegal immigrants, but, since Reagan, free trade has been a mantra among Republicans. Now the Donald has dared to change…
