NYT TV critic discovers sex, is not amused
Got a column to fill and nothing to fill it with? NYT scribe Neil Genzlinger knows the feeling. Although he claims he enjoys looking at naked women as much as a “crisply turned double play”—which I somehow doubt—he claims to be appalled by the rampant use of strip clubs as settings for TV shows when…
So not the New Yorker
For official humor, go here. “You don’t need a helmet. You’ve got a halo. That takes care of everything.” “Yeah, I was expecting an English racer too.” “Welcome to Hell, dude. Yeah, that’s right, Hell. You didn’t believe in global warming either, did you? Here’s how it’s going to be, for all eternity: only one…
The New York Times, Ethan Bronner, and Israel: Getting very, very desperate
“A senior Israeli official said on Thursday that the missile testing site near Tehran that was destroyed in a huge explosion three months ago was developing missiles with a range of some 6,000 miles aimed at the United States,” according to Ethan Bronner, reporting in yesterday’s New York Times.

The agonies of Bill Kristol: très amusant!

Death?
What’s Next for the Stones?—Headline on the current issue of Rolling Stone, which, I guess, has to pretend that it cares.
If you work for AEI, you may be a redneck
Or maybe just a racist. Charles “I’m not a racist” Murray is back at it, with a hot new book about how those damn hippies ruined everything back in the Sixties, turning us all into muesli-munching, boutique beer-swilling brats and generally sending the whole damn country straight on the road to perdition. The white folks,…
Reason No. 47,883 why Israel is really, really going to bomb Iran this time: the Iranians won’t mind!
Yes, the New York Times, which enjoys running articles about why Israel is really going to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities more than I enjoy making fun of Felix Salmon’s disenchantment with Suze Orman, is at it again. Israel probably should just go ahead and bomb the shit out of Iran because “Israeli intelligence estimates, backed…
