That tis true is a Goddamn shame. Whenever something terrible happens, it is human nature first to wish that it had not happened, then to believe that it should not have happened, and finally to identify and revile the culprits “responsible” for the fact that it did happen. So it is with the re-election of…

Only Nixon could go to China? Donald Trump says “Hold my Diet Coke”! Here’s a news flash, America: Money talks! And so do, you know, rare earths!
Yeah, scandium, yttrium, lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, and lutetium are real blabber mouths, and The Great One is listening. And talking, though the New York Times sounds skeptical, to say the least—Trump Touts ‘Fantastic Trade Deals’ With China, but Details Are Scarce. But when has…
Okay, is THIS the stoopidist story the New York Times has ever published? Probably not.
Two Harvard Law professors walk into a bar and write a stoopid article comparing The Donald with FDR and the New York Times publishes it. But why? Yeah, that’s the gist of my next “Yo, New York Times! How stoopid can you get?” entry, a contribution of two Harvard Law plug-uglies, Jack Goldsmith and Samuel…
Is This the Stoopidest Story the New York Times Has Ever Published? Probably Not.
Nikole Hannah-Jones glorifies murder as long as it’s for a good cause and involves attractive young women. Yes, the Times keeps breaking huuuge stories about Donald Trump and Iran, Joe Biden and immigration, and John Roberts and the “shadow docket”, but at the same time they keep pushing out disgraceful, deceitful misinformation/disinformation along the lines…
Why Oh Why can’t we have better UCal Berkeley Economics Professors? Brad DeLong Mixes Apples with Camera Film, and Things Get Ugly.
A few weeks ago, UCal Berkeley Economics Professor Brad DeLong ran a post, The Vibe-Horsing Coal-&-Steam Revolution of the 1700s,1 remarking on the “Jevons paradox”—the observation of 19th century2 British economist William Jevons that technological improvements in the efficiency of steam engines increased their use to the extent that the demand for coal increased as…
The Problematic Triumph of Bari Weiss: Is the new head of CBS late to the party? It sure looks like it!
Poor Bari Weiss! She’s rich, definitely, getting $150 million for the Free Press, which she and her sister Suzi and her wife Nellie Bowles created from nothing, and she’s “powerful”, definitely, now head of CBS news, one of the most storied media powerhouses around, but so what? Just as Bari Weiss grasped the controls of…
The murder of Charlie Kirk was a hideous tragedy and a horrifying crime. But Charlie Kirk was an unscrupulous, racist mouthpiece for MAGA “rage”
The left-wing morons celebrating his death are disgusting; but so is Donald Trump and he’s president and they aren’t. Charlie Kirk’s murder was a horrifying crime and a great personal tragedy for his family. The now-familiar pattern of “passionate” lefties either finding a convenient moral in the murder of a right-wing big-shot—when they don’t celebrate…
Yo, virtue-signaling “progressive” leotards*! Uber and Lyft drivers are not exploited!
It’s become a “thing” for left-thinking “progressives” to exclaim, with suitably “passionate” outrage, “Did you know that Uber and Lyft drivers receive only 25% of price of a trip?” Well, I do now, of course, but here’s the good news for the righteously enraged: You can do something about that all by yourself! Yes, yes,…
Yo, Megan McArdle! Haven’t you heard? A deceitful inconsistency is the hobgoblin of very little minds! Very little minds like yours!
In a recent column, Some mortgage fraud is inevitable. But Lisa Cook needs to come clean., WashPost opinionator Megan McArdle had this to say about the recent uncovering of apparent “mortgage fraud” (a federal felony) on the part of Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserves Board of Governors, whom President Trump is currently…
