Well, who can blame him? The dude gets up in the morning and falls hard on his big red ass—on a floor which is freezing, by the way—all because National Review dude Charles Cooke told his National Review brethren that they should believe the New York Times! Yeah, I know you don’t believe me, so…

Terror From The Skies! Well, sort of.
“Iran-backed militias turn to drone attacks, alarming U.S. forces in Iraq” bellows the headline in the Washington Post. Louisa Loveluck and John Hudson unload a pulse-pounding narrative that is heavy on atmosphere, speculation, and innuendo, but short on, you know, facts, not to mention casualties. Because all this shrieking about those devilish Iranian devils and…
I wonder if Daniel Drezner even knows what “pessimism” means
Well, I certainly do. I mean, I wonder about a lot of things, and one of the things I wonder about is Dan’s article in the WashPost from a month or two back, which he called “The most pessimistic article I have read in 2021”, a “depressing read” (says Dan) found in a recent issue…
Joe Biden does something right, and no one notices
Okay, all Uncle Joe and his State Department did was recognize that the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline connecting Russia with western Europe was a done deal (95% done, in fact) and thus will not impose sanctions on the Europeans for defying us, but in today’s xenophobic mindset, where everyone, but everyone, likes to hate…
Spin, Span, & Spun, political notes from all over: Glenn & Jen do Liz, and NR does Elise, the Whore who went to Harvard
Glenn smears Liz for smearing Russia Glenn Greenwald, amoozin’ yet confoosin’ as ever, launches a furious attack on the recently defenestrated Liz Cheney, claiming that Cheney lied about her perpetration of the “Russians paid for dead Americans in Afghanistan” hustle cooked up by the CIA and used by Cheney and other various assorted warmongers to…
President Biden proposes a $2.3 trillion infrastructure package. What could go wrong? Well, I can think of a few things.
Sure I can. For example, suppose we spend that $2,300,000,000,000 and end up with 1,000,000+ $2,000,000 bike shelters, like the one at the East Falls Church, Va. Metro station. Since that shed, the time that I visited it, was only utilized to, you know, 2% capacity, a lot of people—mostly Republicans, of course—might think we…
Yo, Harvard! Some little girl needs her nose wiped!
Yeah, Snotty Little Lizzie needs her nose wiped. As you may have heard, Massachusetts Senator and Harvard Professor Elizabeth Warren got into a bitch-slapping Twitter fight following a senate hearing devoted to the iniquities of Silicon giants like Facebook, Google, and Amazon. After Lizzie posted a clip from the hearing, complaining about folks like Amazon…
Socio-cultural-politico-judicio notes from all over
Dr. Seuss and the New Iconoclasts The recent sturm und drang regarding Dr. Seuss leaves me a bit on the outside of things, because, unlike most people, to me the “old” Dr. Seuss is the real Dr. Seuss. I loved the outrageous creatures that populated If I Ran the Zoo, And to Think That I…
When Jennifer Rubin Does the Cuban
Okay, unless you’re familiar with the swing-band classic “When Reuban Swings the Cuban”—and you probably aren’t—you’re probably guessing that I’m accusing Jennifer Reuban of going communist, and I’m not. There was a time when I spent so much time making fun of Jennie for her passionately Likudist psyche—she once denounced Sen. Rand Paul for not…
You know what Dan Drezner’s problem is? He isn’t pessimistic enough.
Has it really been four months since I made fun of Dan Drezner? Well, it is, and, again, I’m saying that Dan just isn’t pessimistic enough. The last time around, in October of 2020, I snickered at Dan for snickering at Donald Trump’s “shambolic campaign” for reelection, Dan endorsing Ross Douthat’s picture of Trump as…
