BigMouth Strikes Again
This takedown of David Brooks, titled “The Worst Column Written About Sports Ever Published,” is a must read. A sample: So his job is hard, or at least he makes it look really hard. Still, this happened, and even on the “I-am-an-alien-writing-about-HUMANN-behavior” scale, this is akin to crashing a broken tricycle into a vat of [...]

Why We Fight
I followed a link from commenter Harlana to Little Green Footballs, where Charles Johnson reads Fox News discussion threads so you don’t have to. There are almost 5000 comments posted in the thread — these are from the first few pages. Notice that the racist bastards deliberately misspell their slurs or insert random spaces, so [...]

And People Tell Me I Overuse the Word “Asshole”
Fact is, I don’t use it enough: Wisconsin will use a chunk of its $140 million share of a national settlement over foreclosure and mortgage-servicing abuses to help the state budget rather than assist troubled homeowners, Gov. Scott Walker and state Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said Thursday. Walker and Van Hollen said the majority [...]

Not Just a River In Egypt
Amazingly brazen: In a 2½-hour gathering that capped three days of mourning on campus, Nike chairman and CEO Phil Knight brought the near-capacity crowd at the basketball arena to its feet when he defended the coach’s handling of child-sex allegations leveled against a former assistant. Paterno was fired two months ago by the Penn State [...]

Unemployment, Bitches
Who knew being unemployed was so profitable: Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney released tax records on Tuesday indicating he will pay $6.2 million in taxes on a total of $45.2 million in income over the years 2010 and 2011. Bowing to increasing political pressure to provide more detail about his vast wealth, the former private [...]

Legends In Their Own Minds
Oh, look. There was a tragedy, so that means some wanker at the NRO needs to pen a column about the demise of civilization and calling all the survivors wimps. Not quite up to the Derbyshire standard, but after calling professional soldiers wimps, you’ll remember he went all in and blamed the Va. Tech shooting [...]

Yes We Can-Can
Charles Krauthammer is mad enough to stomp bunnies, a man consumed with the type of bitterness that can only come from being thwarted by putative allies when a cherished goal is in sight. Things were going so well. With an assist from elderly social conservatives in patriot drag,* the GOP had successfully rebranded the economic [...]

Abort This Campaign
Ahh, SC Republicans: In what appears to be a last ditch attempt to halt Newt Gingrich’s late momentum in South Carolina, a fake CNN Breaking News alert was emailed to state Republican activists early Thursday morning claiming that the former House Speaker pressured his ex-wife to have an abortion. CNN did not send out the [...]

What Mitt Romney’s Free Market Looks Like
Via Greg Sargent, this Reuters piece is a must read: The young men in business suits, gingerly picking their way among the millwrights, machinists and pipefitters at Kansas City’s Worldwide Grinding Systems steel mill. Gaping up at the cranes that swung 10-foot cast iron buckets through the air. Jumping at the thunder from the melt [...]

Living under the fear ’till nothing else remains
Hello, kiddies. I’ve finally recovered from a New Year’s Eve which involved several thousand happy Portuguese dancing in the streets of Porto, a visit to a gay bar where I was plied with champagne while watching buxom naked ladies swinging on swings to the music of Boney M., and the inhalation of veritable drifts of [...]

I believe he’s gonna work me into the ground
Gnoot has a post up about his proposal to prepare kids from poor families for the low paying, menial jobs they will often be forced to take after leaving school by giving them low paying, menial jobs while they are at school. Wouldn’t it be great if New York City schools served their students as [...]

The lady’s not for spurning
Nooners has been hitting the turps again. The left in America has largely thrown in the towel on Ronald Reagan, but in Britain Thatcher-hatred remains fresh. Why? Because she was a woman. Because women in politics are always by definition seen as presumptuous: They presume to lead men. When they are as bright as the [...]

Mad Money
Remember this: We should all be so lucky to be this kind of “unemployed”: Almost 13 years ago, Mitt Romney left Bain Capital, the successful private equity firm he had helped start, and moved to Utah to rescue the Salt Lake City Olympic Games and begin a second career in public life. Yet when it [...]

Let Newt Get His Geek On
I didn’t watch the debate last night, but I gather that this fell flat for Mitt Romney: Asked where he and Gingrich differed, Romney said, “We could start with his idea to have a lunar colony that would mine minerals from the moon. I’m not in favor of spending that kind of money to do [...]
