Examining her own benchtops
McArglebargle really is beyond parody (although the mighty TBogg gives it a good go). Last year, we bought a house for two main reasons: we were sick of moving, and I wanted a better kitchen. We were living in a flip house that had been designed by a contractor with a rather spotty work ethic, [...]

Oh, By The Way…
Which one’s Pink? Which is another way of saying that I neither should nor have anything more to say about Komenfreude, except… McMegan, as is her wont, has hit bottom and continued to dig—with a second post complaining that all the pro-choice meanies missed her point that funding health care services means that one is [...]

That sun is gonna shine in my back door someday
To paraphrase commenter sb, none of you are going to want to hear this. I’m not sure I even like typing it. But Megan McArdle has an excellent post about why life is different for poor black children then it is for middle-aged white men with sinecures at Forbes. It goes on forever, so there’s [...]

My Holiday Kitchen Guide
I, too, have struggled to meet my culinary needs, so I thought I would help you all out with my helpful guide of items that might be useful in the kitchen. First, let’s conquer the salt challenge. As we all know, salt is vital and goes in almost everything we cook, so who wants to [...]

Cooking with gasbag
Somewhere in Massachusetts, a cold shiver just ran up Tom Levenson’s back, for Megan McArdle has published her “Holiday Gift Guide 2011: Kitchen Edition“. Now, I love cooking (my old English Fruit cake with propofol icing has won several awards) and I love gadgets (particularly the sort that are made by Germans out of latex [...]

Megan McArdle Orders the Burlwood Dash For Her Tumbrel
Blogger’s Note: Zandar (apologia pro vita sua and all that) and Asiangrrl goaded me into diving once more into the swamp that is Megan McArdle’s prose. But this is it. There’s real and much more interesting work to be done out there, good stuff to read and (I hope) write. And it’s clear that I [...]

Way I feel is, you don’t own a mixer
Guess who wrote this: A few months ago, I became the proud, and slightly sheepish, owner of what must be the world’s most expensive food processor. The Thermomix costs about $1,500. It not only chops the food but weighs the ingredients and cooks them for you while stirring constantly. Perfect hollandaise and flawless béchamel can [...]

Why, Knock Me Down With a Feather: Megan McArdle is Still Always Wrong, Climate Science Edition
Warning: This post is way too long. I mean, really. You have been warned. I’ve been off the McArdle beat for a while. I find I need to take breaks if I’m to have any hope of (a) retaining sanity in the face of unanswerable questions implicit in our current media ecosystem, and (b) getting [...]

She Just Can’t Help Herself
McMegan is bright enough to figure out what the S&P nonsense is about (BECAUSE S&P TOLD US), and in a post pointing her fingers at the Republicans for their stupidity, we get this instant classic in beltway “Both Sides Do It”: And yes, the Democrats had their own role to play—both in starting this monstrous [...]

Under pressure
It’s time for James Fallows, TNC, and every other self-respecting employee of the Atlantic (there are others, right?) to say the words “I am ashamed to work with Megan McArdle.” The truth will set you free. Her latest idiocy, on why she thinks it’s wrong to say Bush is primarily responsible for the debt problem: [...]

Megan McArdle: Is it her reading that’s the problem? Her comprehension? Her honesty? You Make The Call!
I know that this is all kind of moot in light of the events of the last few days, but someone passed word of this McArdle post to me yesterday, and it seemed to me to capture so much of what has gone wrong in the way the media engaged the debate over deficits and [...]

How do you like your blue-eyed boy now?
That brave, wonkish champion of fiscal restraint hasn’t covered himself in glory during the debt-ceiling debate: Ryan has carefully nurtured his deficit hawk image by expressing his Randian ideology in the high-minded language of the establishment. His favorite attacks on President Obama have revolved around failure to lead and a refusal to openly embrace the [...]

Why Yes. It’s Still True. Megan McCardle Is Always Wrong
Fair warning: what follows couldn’t be more irrelevant in the face of the very real craziness that daily attends us. Seriously. This post takes roughly 1500 words to demolish a single tweet by someone better ignored altogether, Megan McArdle. A waste, I know. But now, courtesy of TBogg, she’s hung such a tempting curveball that [...]

Always wrong
I have to confess that I was not able to understand what, exactly, Megan McArdle thinks Republicans should do here, but if I were in the Republican House leadership, I would figure out exactly what it is, and then not do it. It’s a win win—better for the GOP, better for the country. And if [...]

But I prefer….alcohol
Skippy-san finds McMegan hating all the demon rum in the Atlas Shrugged movie. I know that some Rand fans who like the movie are going to accuse me of sucking up to my liberal cocktail-party attending friends by unfairly slamming a damn fine film. The sad truth is that I don’t attend that many cocktail [...]
