Okay, that should be “Will invade foreign countries for rank and appropriations” but Literature R Us puts snark over accuracy every time. What is indisputable is that retired Admiral William McRaven is shit fit petrified that drunken Donald Trump might actually knock over the punchbowl that has, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, ladled…

Samantha Power and the art of looking away
(Editor’s note. Sometimes I write ‘em short, and sometimes I can’t shut up. This is one of the latter occasions.) Several hundred news cycles ago, Samantha Power’s autobiography/memoir The Education of an Idealist was in the news. Well, I am nothing if not slow, so I am just getting caught up with Samantha, who really…
Want to take your eye OFF the ball? Eli Lake, Ross Douthat, and Ramesh Ponnuru can help!
Did you know that Nikki Haley’s defense of Donald Trump contains a significant logical contradiction? Did you know that there are good reasons for rejecting the impeachment of Donald Trump, but these same reasons also argue against his reelection? Did you know that Donald Trump’s and Barack Obama’s policies towards Ukraine, while different from one…
Shorter Ben Shapiro: “They call me Mr. Miasma”
Ben Shapio has a curious piece up at the National Review, “The Two Theories of Trump’s Actions in the Ukraine Affair”, which I can only consider as an exercise in pre-emptive ass-covering. Shapiro, of course, has a reputation of being one of the hottest young conservative talking heads around—he’s bright, articulate, and quite capable of…
Democrats gone wild! Why the Democrats be acting so crazy.
Well, you’d be acting crazy too if you had just gotten out of jail after 25 long, hard years in the slam. And that’s where the Democrats are coming from. All real Democrats, that is, which doesn’t include squishy neo-lib, “pragmatic”, compromising wimps like me—dudes who believe in free markets (most of the time) and…
Yo, Eli Lake! It isn’t “treason” to criticize the President! It’s treason to criticize Donald Trump!
Eli Lake often reminds of a man who kisses ass for a living yet insists on complaining about the farts. Eli gets paid by Michael Bloomberg to be, basically, the voice of the Likud, relentlessly advocating a “firm” U.S. position on just about every aspect of foreign affairs, a “U.S. and Israel against the world”…
Yes, Republicans, the FBI is corrupt. THANKS TO YOU!
Over at Lawfare, Benjamin Wittes explains the tragedy/farce farce/tragedy of former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe’s dismissal and now impending indictment for false statements made in the course of an internal investigation. The record is perfectly clear: Andrew McCabe was fired immediately prior to the vesting of his pension and now very likely will be…
Who’s dumber, Elizabeth Warren or Max Boot?
To my mind, Elizabeth Warren is basically a Hillary Clinton who doesn’t summer in the Hamptons. That is, a well-meaning know it all who wants to run your life for you. So when disillusioned conservative Max Boot took aim at her in the Washington Post—“Elizabeth Warren has lots of ideas. Bad ideas.”—I was (largely) content…
Just because I don’t loudly s*ck the president’s c*ck every day doesn’t make me a traitor, loudly exclaims an aggrieved Ramesh Ponnuru
My apologies to those who, like me, prefer their vulgarly sexual terms of abuse unasterisked and unexpurgated, but you never know whose algorithm you’re going to trigger these days. Anyway, to the point: Right-winger Ramesh Ponnuru, whom I last blasted for gratuitously taking sides with Donald Trump against U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts with regard…
Yo, Bill Barr! God is the searcher of all hearts, not you!
A couple of months ago I made fun of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for presuming to question the motives of six of his brethren for being so temarious as to vote the “wrong” way in a case involving abortion issues: So what explains the Court’s refusal to do its job here? I suspect it…
