If there’s one thing of which the Washington Post never tires, it’s predicting victory in the Iraqi war. The Post’s June 1 lead editorial is headlined “The Iraqi Upturn: Don’t look now, but the U.S.-backed government and army may be winning the war.” Well, don’t look now, but the Post may be lying again. Notice…

The Washington Post, searching for purpose
Why are we in Iraq? Good question! Damned good question! Originally, it was stop Saddam from attacking us with “weapons of mass destruction,” nukes in particular, or at least that dreadful yellow cake. There was no chance that Saddam would attack us, of course—he wasn’t that dumb—but the mere fact that he had those WMD…
The Washington Post agrees with me
The Washington Post editorial page, which can be quite prescient when not talking complete nonsense on Iraq, agrees with me that the real outrage emerging from the Hillary/Mark Penn imbroglio is that Penn is being fired for lobbying in favor of free trade with Colombia. The Post makes the achingly obvious case for the free-trade…
The Washington Post, centuries behind
Today’s Washington Post editorial page picks an odd hobbyhorse, the high cost of college textbooks. The Post is particularly ticked at publishers who produce new editions “even though there have been no major advances in fields such as calculus and elementary physics in decades or even centuries.” Now, it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that…
Is the Woke Post waking up just a little? Well, north of the Potomac, yeah!
Okay, I’m impressed. Last week, the Washington Post ran the following editorial, Another promising charter school is wrongly rejected by Montgomery County, in which the Post rightfully complained about the state of affairs regarding charter schools in Montgomery County, Maryland, which supposedly have been kosher in MC since 1998. Said the Post But more than…
Shorter Democratic “socialists”: The Revolution will be postponed
I have to thank the editorial staff at the WashPost for this one: Congress passed up an obvious policy tool to fix wealth inequality, pointing out the utter failure of congressional Democrats to revise our nation’s abysmal “keep the rich folks happy” non-tax on inheritances. As the Post notes, billionaire-bashing folks like Sens. Elizabeth Warren…
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…
The Post? What about The Times? What about The Truth?
Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks seem to be involved in a conspiracy to bore us to death with virtuous films, first with Bridge of Spies and now with The Post, films that consist almost entirely of old white people standing around and talking, a lot. Bridge of Spies is about one honest man who makes…
Mote and Beam Dept: WashPost does CNN
“CNN’s Russia story debacle came at the worst possible time for the network”, Paul Farhi reports for the Washington Post, describing the embarrassing collapse of CNN’s “exclusive” on a supposed Senate investigation of Wall Street bigshot/Trump insider Anthony Scaramucci’s supposed suspicious links with Russia: “When challenged on the particulars of the story, CNN acknowledged that…
Rand Paul really, really evil, says Wash Post
Want to know the real deal about Rand Paul? The Washington Post will be glad to tell you. Check out these heads: Charles Lane: Rand Paul’s dark vision Jennifer Rubin: Rand Paul goes off the deep end Dana Milbank: The decline of Rand Paul Taking them in reverse order, Dana Milbank is the voice of…
