It’s true! In a recent post, Having lost their flexibility, pro-lifers are losing their cause, poor Megan can’t help lying her ass off even when (apparently) she doesn’t want to! Let’s start with her headline: “Having lost their flexibility, pro-lifers are losing their cause”. What was the great rallying cry of the pro-life folks prior…

Socio-political notes from all over: The Ivies go down, Haas keeps covering aass, and Ryan Grim covers, and covers up for, “The Squad”.
The Ivies took a pounding, and New York Representative Elise Stefanik received a publicity boost more valuable than gold, and it couldn’t have come to a less deserving person.1 The supposedly brilliant scholars heading Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania, and M.I.T. came across as scripted robots, not responding actively to Stefanik’s leading questions—that “intifada”, which…
Israel versus Palestine: When Dreams Collide
“What a dreary compromise is life!” exclaimed the hero of Norman Mailer’s abortive magnum opus, The Man Who Studied Yoga.1 And so life is a dreary compromise for most of us, which is why we go to films to see people who do all the things we don’t do in real life, like punch out…
Greg Grisbert—“Played Twice”
Hard to find videos of “Played Twice” for some reason. Greg on trumpet, and featuring Chris Potter, tenor, Steve Wilson, alto, John Campbell, piano, Peter Washington, bass, and Billy Drummond, drums. Posted by Greg Gisbert Sextet.
Megan McArdle is an idiot, a liar, and well deserving of many other harsh and insulting adjectives that my fingers lack the energy to type.
Yes, I am getting awfully tired to yelling insults at Megan McArdle. Why, it seems like I was yelling at Megan only three weeks ago for her arrant hypocrisy in blaming the fall of pro-seditionist Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker on the Democratic Party, because I was!. And now she’s turned around and written the…
There are two kinds of Republicans: True Trumpers and Cowards. Megan McArdle is not a True Trumper
I have, before—many times before—ridiculed dear Megan’s frequent efforts to find something—anything—to criticize about the Democratic Party rather than deal with the elephant-sized pile of dung in the room that is the current day Republican Party. In her latest “just trying to be helpful” effort—Democrats should have helped McCarthy hold his job — for their…
OMG! I’m turning into Larry Summers! But not all the time!
The truth can be ugly, can’t it? Here are, courtesy of frequent good guy yet employed by the American Enterprise Institute James Pethokoukis, a number of cogent (I think) charts to illustrate a recent cogent (I think) talk by Larry at the Peterson Institute for International Economics titled “What Should the 2023 Washington Consensus Be?”,…
Socio-political-cultural notes from all over: Jack Goldsmith is a gosh-darn liar, Joe and Bibi may be pulling a fast one, and Oliver Anthony is a jive turkey
O mores O tempores, eh, motherfucker? What a list, what a list, what a list. Oy vey, oy vey, oy vey. First and worst is elegantly bearded Harvard prick in chief Jack Goldsmith, whose motto is “not as bad as John Yoo”, which may or not be true, because John stabs you in the chest…
Shorter Roberts Supreme Court: Let’s Make A Deal!
Originalist sin, anyone? The Volokh Conspiracy’s David Post has the scoop: Case or Controversy Requirement? What Case or Controversy Requirement?. As Dave points out, in a post that is, I would say, “thorough”, two of the many “big” decisions handed down by the Supreme Court in its recently concluded “summer session”—Moore v. Harper, shooting down…
Shorter “Succession”: Rich people are *ssholes!
Is there anywhere in the great landscape of aesthetic confusion a sure guide that would allow us to shun the arid plains of austere and empty formalism, the banal shallows of mediocre uplift and compromise, not to mention the great sunken morasses of foul and pestilent postmodernism, and instead to tread always the balmy highlands…
