Just two weeks ago, NYT papist in chief Ross Douthat had a column, “Make Catholicism Weird Again”, urging a return to the good old days, saying that the Church should reclaim its rightful role “as a full alternative culture in its own right — one that reclaims the inheritance on display at the Met,1 glories…
From banal to horrible: My Feed is now pushing the false notion that child abductions are “common”
I just complained about My Feed feeding me pictures of busty teen-agers. Now it’s not so funny: My Feed is now pushing the frightening but false notion that child abductions are “common”, or at least that there are lots of “common tricks” that abductors “commonly” use. As Reason’s Elizabeth Nolan Brown explains, abductions aren’t common….
Yo, Bill Gates! Stop COMPLETELY insulting my intelligence!
At least a week ago a teenager was told, basically, that the tee-shirt she was wearing to school was too tight and she needed to change it. Yes, she was busty, and, yes, the article by “Insider” informing us of this outrage has a picture of her in her tee-shirt. Well, if you are a…
“Thoughtful” conservatives getting awfully tired of thinking. But not all of them.
I remember reading as a boy that one can think for three days on the energy contained in a peanut. On the right, it seems, peanuts are getting scarce. Over at the New York Times, David Brooks is finding solace in Donald Trump’s lizard brain, which, it appears, is kicking ass all over the world:…

Amy Chozick’s Chasing Hillary: You don’t have to be a pr*ck to work for the New York Times, or the Clinton campaign. But it helps! A LOT!
Newspaper reporters are not like you and me. They believe newspaper reporters are important. That’s one of the takeaways from Timesgal Amy Chozick’s new opus, Chasing Hillary Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns, and One Intact Glass Ceiling, a political campaign book with a difference, because it’s more about Amy than about Hillary, about how a…

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along, move along.
Ramesh Ponnuru, perhaps to fulfill a quota of some sort, has dashed off what I like to think of as a semi, hemi, demi never Trumper, “Three Clichés About Trump That Have to Die”,1 soundly thumping those lazy, self-righteous liberals who say all sorts of mean things about the Donald which just are not true!…
Koch U? Why not?
The Koch brothers, aka the Dave n’ Charlie Show, have gotten some fairly negative publicity regarding a large number of donations they have either made or leveraged to George Mason University in Northern Virginia. A recent article in the New York Times by Erica Green and Stephanie Saul quotes Bethany Letiecq, an associate professor at…
