For official humor, go here. “You don’t need a helmet. You’ve got a halo. That takes care of everything.” “Yeah, I was expecting an English racer too.” “Welcome to Hell, dude. Yeah, that’s right, Hell. You didn’t believe in global warming either, did you? Here’s how it’s going to be, for all eternity: only one…
The New York Times, Ethan Bronner, and Israel: Getting very, very desperate
“A senior Israeli official said on Thursday that the missile testing site near Tehran that was destroyed in a huge explosion three months ago was developing missiles with a range of some 6,000 miles aimed at the United States,” according to Ethan Bronner, reporting in yesterday’s New York Times. According to Bronner, the official further…
Just when you thought it was safe to light up a joint in New York (if you were really stupid)
New York City Commissioner Ray Kelly recently told Big Apple cops to stop arresting people for simple possession of marijuana. As Radley Balko has repeatedly pointed out, police in New York routinely trick “suspicious” types into violating the city’s law against “public display” of the drug as a way to boost their arrest records. In…
The agonies of Bill Kristol: très amusant!
Does Bill Kristol enjoy making me laugh? That’s the most likely explanation of his most recent effusion, “Why February could matter,” examining the supposed likelihood of Rich “Rich the Sweater” Santorum plucking the “Anyone but Romney” banner from the trembling, arthritic hands of Newt Gingrich and racing to victory at the Republican Convention in Tampa…
Death?
What’s Next for the Stones?—Headline on the current issue of Rolling Stone, which, I guess, has to pretend that it cares.
If you work for AEI, you may be a redneck
Or maybe just a racist. Charles “I’m not a racist” Murray is back at it, with a hot new book about how those damn hippies ruined everything back in the Sixties, turning us all into muesli-munching, boutique beer-swilling brats and generally sending the whole damn country straight on the road to perdition. The white folks,…
Reason No. 47,883 why Israel is really, really going to bomb Iran this time: the Iranians won’t mind!
Yes, the New York Times, which enjoys running articles about why Israel is really going to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities more than I enjoy making fun of Felix Salmon’s disenchantment with Suze Orman, is at it again. Israel probably should just go ahead and bomb the shit out of Iran because “Israeli intelligence estimates, backed…

Michael Novak on Joe Paterno: So what if he ignored an eyewitness report of his assistant raping a ten-year-old boy?
Yes, that’s the position of Michael Novak, Catholic paleo-con windbag at the National Review, bemoaning the “injustice” done to “Great Man” Joe Paterno. “One of America’s greatest moral teachers for three generations gets a raw deal,” whines Mike, outraged by the fact that board of trustees at Penn State ousted Paterno without giving him an…
Newt goes down: the party’s over
I guess I’m not really ahead of the crowd on this one: the odds are very good that Mitt Romney will squash Newt Gingrich tomorrow like a thrice-married June bug. It gets worse: Despite all his bravado—and, surely, despite all his anger at being outspent by a margin of more than five to one—Newt will…
