Well, I certainly do. I mean, I wonder about a lot of things, and one of the things I wonder about is Dan’s article in the WashPost from a month or two back, which he called “The most pessimistic article I have read in 2021”, a “depressing read” (says Dan) found in a recent issue…

Joe Biden does something right, and no one notices
Okay, all Uncle Joe and his State Department did was recognize that the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline connecting Russia with western Europe was a done deal (95% done, in fact) and thus will not impose sanctions on the Europeans for defying us, but in today’s xenophobic mindset, where everyone, but everyone, likes to hate…
Is Donald Trump making some Republicans “smarter”? Well, if by “some” you mean “two or three”, you may be on to something!
Okay, I don’t want to go out on a limb here, but I do detect a few signs of intelligence on the “right”, largely prompted by disgust over Trump’s hysterical reaction to his defeat and, even more, his clear willingness to overturn the results of the election by having state legislatures appoint their own electors…
Political Notes From All Over, Volume II
Barack Obama and the Ministry o’ Truth Oy vey, mon president! In a recent interview with the BBC former President Barack “if you like your health care plan you can keep it” Obama complains about the lack of truthiness currently available in the USA: There are millions of people who subscribed to the notion that…
What is Kevin D. Williamson smoking? Find out and send a bale to everyone else at the National Review
Hell yes I’m behind the curve. That’s my wheelhouse!1 Anyway, Kevie D., whom I’ve often trashed, has to be on something to write shtick like “The Passive-Aggressive Superpower”, averring that “Unilateralist tough-guy talk will get us nowhere against China,” and overtly snickering at the puffed-chest prose of two of his fellow NR authors, Rich Lowry…
Kevie D. crosses me up
Anyone so bored and so feckless as to search for all the things I’ve said about Kevin D. Williamson would think that I do little with my time other than construct labored invective at Kevie D.’s expense, including such tasteless jibes as “Hey, Kevin D. Williamson! You’re a total idiot!” and “Kevin D. Williamson, last…
Kevin Williamson, more peccant than impeccable
There’s a bit of a to-do in the blogosphere regarding the recent hiring of Kevin “Mattress Face” Williamson1 by the Atlantic, one that leaves me, remarkably enough, on the side of the ululating left, who are (mostly) mad at Kev’s pathetically “provocative” “jest” that women who get abortions should be hung.2 I don’t think old…
Yo, Kevin Williamson! New York still not “sliding back into pre-Giuliani chaos”!
Yo, Kevin Williamson! Yeah, you! Remember two years ago, when you wrote, and I quote “New York is sinking back into pre-Giuliani chaos”? Do you? And do you remember when I wrote, one year ago (not too politely, I admit) the following: “Uh, Kevin, you lying sack of shit, crime in the Big Apple declined…
Jennie Made Her Mind Up
There’s an amusing though frequently verging on depressing kerflusterfuck waxing and waning on the right, triggered by a column in the National Review by Charles C. W. Cooke, who, in addition to being to being the only person I know to use two middle initials—in homage, one can only assume, to legendary Bonnie & Clyde…
Hey, Kevin D. Williamson! You’re a total idiot!
Almost exactly a year ago, I riffed on the idiocy of National Review “roving correspondent” Kevin D. Williamson, who was moaning and groaning about New York “sliding back into pre-Giuliani chaos”—pointing out how Kevie D’s “analysis” got the facts so wrong in so many ways. Well, another year has passed, under Kevin’s least favorite mayor…
