First, the obligatory clickbait: ‘Motherf*cking Sh*t!’ Jon Stewart Goes on Furious Rant over VA Scandal. Oh, Stewie is hot and bothered, and the jokes are teh funny! Elbows get thrown at Obama himself. Utter gobsmacked disbelief at how no matter how mad they get, the guys at the head of the government can’t get the… Read More Watch Jon Stewart Not Make Connections
Which is to say, it’s true meaning: (h/t Chicks on the Right)
I have always found the concept of lethal injection creepy and offensive. There’s something Orwellian about using the instruments of medicine to bring about death. Yes, that’s how we put down animals, but a human is more than just an animal. A human, even one guilty of a capital crime, deserves to suffer death honestly,… Read More Why We Ever Stopped Using the Gibbet, I’ll Never Understand
Because there seems to be a wrinkle: An attendee later handed a reporter a piece of paper that was apparently thrown by the woman. It appeared to be a copy of a Department of Defense document labeled confidential and dated August 1967; it referred to an operation ‘Cynthia’ in Bolivia. “Operation Cynthia” seems to be… Read More So WHY Did Hillary Get a Shoe Thrown At Her?
They’ve pretty much become the Slate of music magazines (NSFW-ish at link): throwing up outlandish nonsense to boost sales. Ace thinks this editorial ignorance, or even a prophylactic error, a case of “If we don’t put John Hancock’s signature on her butt, people will give us crap for getting it wrong, even though it’s not wrong.”… Read More Rolling Stone Trolls Us All With Naked Julia-Louise Dreyfus, U.S. History Fail
Historical Racism, defined either as discrimination formalized in law or as open white supremacist hostility, has ceased to excite progressives in proportion to the degree it has vanished from American public life. In order to maintain their cultural edge, the Left has instead declared war on the more nebulous (and thus, easier to accuse) “White… Read More I Was Supposed to Get a Pass: Stephen Colbert’s White Privelege, and Other Exercises in Doublethink
David P. Goldman, whose magisterial good sense is to be found all over his “Spengler” column, analyzes secular progressivism as a post-Protestant religion, aimed less at promulgating sound public policy than at creating a means of saving America from its sins: Joseph Bottum, by contrast, examines post-Protestant secular religion with empathy, and contends that it… Read More Yes, Secularism is a Religion, and Here are its Witch Trials
By RS McCain. Myerson is the bourgeois equivalent of the kind of semi-educated twerp who slicks his hair to that Fuhrer emo-flop and quibbles about exactly how many Jews died in the so-called holocaust. Apologetics for an ideology with Communism’s body count ought to be a one-way ticket to a compound in Idaho, printing off… Read More Useful Idiot Jesse Myerson Gets Slapped Around Like a Red-Head Stepchild
When I snarked about this a few days ago, I didn’t know that Rep. Henriquez was black (I also incorrectly called him a Congressman, rather than a Massachusetts State Representative). It doesn’t really matter that he his black (unless one wants to argue that if he were a white Democrat, he wouldn’t be in jail… Read More Democrat in Jail For Domestic Violence Protected From Expulsion by….NAACP
Richard Epstein is a smart guy. He writes sound columns, he advances strong arguments consistently. And his current column, ostensibly about Rand Paul but really about the difference between libertarians and “classical liberals”, (h/t Insty) can be counted as one of that number. I have never considered myself a hard-core libertarian, and would probably land… Read More Richard Epstein Needs to Get Over His Rand Paul Problem
