Well, he didn’t. He didn’t get the memo saying that you should only make fun of adults with disabilities, rather than, you know, kids! In other words, this, not this. Frankly, it’s hard to blame Cory. I mean, if it’s okay to take kids away from their parents, why isn’t okay to make fun of…

The National Review, not always without honor
I read the National Review to find out what the opposition is up to, and it’s usually no good, but once in a while someone comes through with a piece that’s not only “not bad” but actually impressive. Such is the case with David French’s recent article, “The Schiff Memo Undermines Republican Claims of FISA…
Is Donald Trump as bad as the National Review says he is? Probably!
I’ve already frequently bemoaned the fact that so many U.S. conservatives are deciding that Donald Trump is, you know, our Wacky Uncle Donald, who doesn’t mean half the stuff he says (that is to say, half of what he says is a lie), and he does get cranky at times, but his bark is worse…
Can’t stop the schadenfreude: Vivisecting the Republican Party
Well, if Trump wins you can laugh, but I won’t hear you because I’ll be sobbing too hard. Since I’m not too excited about a Hillary win—go here for a few dozen reasons why—it’s a lot more fun to speculate on what’s going to happen to the Republican Party post-November. For us Democrats, it’s going…
The wrong way to do minority outreach? To do it in the National Review!
Mona Charon has a nice piece–“Not the way to do minority outreach”–gently chiding Donald Trump for making a speech ostensibly intended to persuade blacks to vote for him by giving a speech before a virtually all-white audience in West Bend, Wisconsin, a virtually all-white suburb of Milwaukee, 40 percent black and the scene of rioting…
NR against Trump: He isn’t racist enough!
Unkind, I know, but scarcely inaccurate. Here are the National Review’s editors, dumping on Trump re immigration: “As for illegal immigration, Trump pledges to deport the 11 million illegals here in the United States, a herculean administrative and logistical task beyond the capacity of the federal government. Trump piles on the absurdity by saying he…
Reading conservative websites can be depressing, study says
Reading conservative websites can be depressing, according to a recent study by Alan Vanneman, who visited two of them, the National Review and the Weekly Standard. “The sites are depressing because conservatives are depressed,” claimed Vanneman. “There’s this Trump thing, which isn’t going away, and the fact that the Republican base hates foreigners, hates free…
