What goes around comes around. Or is it the other way around? In either case, I’m talking about bullshit. The latest in recirculated manure comes from Chris Cillizza, writing at Newsweek, It’s time to admit it: Mitt Romney was right about Russia. Back in 2012, the Mittster opined that “Russia, this is, without question, our…

My guess—and this is only a guess—is that Mark S. Wrighton, Ph.D. President, The George Washington University, is a motherf*cking idiot
Okay, this is, I repeat, only a guess. Just putting it out there, one might say. But what else can one say when the president of a pretty great American university, right here in Washington, DC, responds to posters criticizing—yes, you read that right, criticizing—the People’s Republic of China for, you know, mercilessly oppressing China’s…
Nice essay, George F. Will! But not, you know, perfect!
Hey, Georgie boy’s snappy retrospective of how a slightly pushy young lad from the sticks became the biggest goddamn Bow Tie the Beltway had ever seen—The pursuit of happiness is happiness—is not at all a bad read, informative and even touching at times, words I haven’t always used when discussing Mr. Will. I was particularly…
They Got Rhythm: How George Gershwin begot Lester Young, Charlie Parker, and Thelonious Monk
Back in 1930, George Gershwin wrote a tune, “I Got Rhythm”, whose underlying chord structure proved a god-send to jazz musicians for decades to come. “Rhythm Changes” served as the basis for dozens of jazz tunes, which served, in turn, for some of the greatest performances in jazz. We’ll start off with the original, served…
George F. Will and “Truth”
Time flies when your country is burning down, doesn’t it? The week after Donald Trump’s many fans took him seriously rather than literally—“March peaceably, folks! But stay strong! And save your country from the greatest crime in history! Only you can do it! And don’t take no for an answer!”—Mr. George F. Will, intent on…
George F. Will showing some signs of improvement. Emphasis on the “some”
Recently, I’ve slackened off making fun of George F. “the ‘F’ stands for ‘Frabjous’, son” Will, first because George has largely been a good boy, leaving the Republican Party in disgust with its abandonment of free market policies, doubling down on that disgust at the nomination of Donald Trump, and going the extra mile by…
Qassem Soleimani didn’t kill 600 American soldiers in Iraq; George Bush did
As “conservatives” rally to explain why murdering a high-ranking official of another country is a good thing, one of the most potent—or at least most frequently repeated—arguments is that Iranian General Qassem Soleimani was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American soldiers in Iraq. The Washington Post tells us of “Soleimani’s legacy: The gruesome,…
Anthony Kennedy: Wasn’t he the guy who appointed George Bush president of the United States?
Yes, he was. Anthony Kennedy was one of the unholy five justices so damned afraid Al Gore might have actually carried the state of Florida, as he carried the nation by a plurality of almost half a million votes, that they rammed through Curious George’s election the Constitution be damned. “Great cases, like hard cases,…
George F. Will Still Hates Football!
There are many things about George F. Will–“F” for “Fucking Amazing”–that I, well, that I totally fucking hate!, but there is also one thing that I find totally fucking amusing, and that is that Georgie, in open and explicit opposition to “America”, totally fucking hates fucking football!. George’s latest harange on the evils of America’s…
One for George
I basically called George Will a shithead—or at least a periwighead, which is pretty much the same thing—a couple of days ago. Well, that was then, this is now. Now is George hitting one out of the park, labeling incoming attorney general Jeff Sessions a shithead for his championing of “civil forfeiture”, aka “stealing”—when the…
