There are many things about George F. Will–“F” for “Fucking Amazing”–that I, well, that I totally fucking hate!, but there is also one thing that I find totally fucking amusing, and that is that Georgie, in open and explicit opposition to “America”, totally fucking hates fucking football!. George’s latest harange on the evils of America’s…

George Will would rather write about the Black Death than Donald Trump
Well, you can hardly blame the man, can you? The Donald’s current reign of t/error is a lot less palatable than the centuries-old horror that reduced Europe’s population by a solid 25% back in the fourteenth century. But after you get past Georgie’s first paragraph, his current think piece becomes less a history lesson than…
I predicted this!
Well, I did. A couple of weeks back, I wrote a post, “Why Donald Trump will be our very worst president, by a very wide margin”, and, one week in, it’s already true. For the past seven days, Donald Trump has been running around like a chicken with its head cut off, except, you know,…
Vanneman praises Friedman; Heavens sway, just a little
Yes, it’s true. Thomas Friedman—the guy who said we should invade Iraq “because we can”—has written a brilliant column, “Bibi Netanyahu Makes Trump His Chump”, whose first two paragraphs read as follows: “For those of you confused over the latest fight between President Obama and Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu of Israel, let me make it…
One for George
I basically called George Will a shithead—or at least a periwighead, which is pretty much the same thing—a couple of days ago. Well, that was then, this is now. Now is George hitting one out of the park, labeling incoming attorney general Jeff Sessions a shithead for his championing of “civil forfeiture”, aka “stealing”—when the…
Hillary Clinton, Loser?
Only in America would a woman who outpolled her opponent by close to three million votes be declared a “loser”. That is to say, only a woman running for president, because in every other election in the U.S.—and there are, of course, thousands—the person with the most votes wins. But because Hillary Clinton was running…
Remember Brexit? It still sucks
Remember Brexit? Remember all that “Smash the Bastardly Brussels Bureaucracy” bullshit that was floating around just a few months ago, hyped by everyone from George Will to Jill Stein? Well, now the chickens are coming home to roost, reports Politico’s Silvia Sciorilli Borrelli. It seems that trying to bail out of the global economy isn’t…
Alan Vanneman’s absolutely unique take on Brexit
That’s right: Other sites sell you candy pills, but here’s the real dope.1 Plenty of people2 are having a high old time praising the Brexit vote as an uprising of the “people” against the pointy-heads, ignoring the fact that the vote also polarized the old against the young, and the “Celtic Fringe”—Scotland and Northern Ireland—against…
Hey, George F. Will! Stop making sense!
Yes, much as I hate to admit it, George F. (“F as in FREEEEEEEEKY!!!!!”) Will, perhaps my all-time piñata/bête noire, has a point in his latest screed, “Scientific silencers on the left are trying to shut down climate skepticism”, because that’s exactly what’s happening. I’ve previously complained about the utterly meretricious suit brought by a…
Alan Vanneman and George F. Will, Soul Brothers
How many postings have I devoted to ridiculing George F. Will? Well, count ‘em for yourself. But today George and I are one, as he delivers a heart-felt paean to the Hubble telescope’s replacement, the “James Webb,” which, according to George—and who would doubt him!—will be as big as a tennis court. In his column,…
