Don’t you know that it’s different for hippies
Andrew Sullivan heartily heh-indeeds Kevin Drum’s pearl-clutching over the Limbaugh boycotts. Recently, Sullivan wrote of the Limbaugh boycotts: The right way to counter his speech, in my view, is...

Burn down the mission
If SCOTUS voids the ACA, (I agree with John that they’re reasonably like to) there’s going to be a lot of talk about how liberals need to moderate their attacks on the court for the sake of the...

How many divisions do Erick Erickson and David Gergen have?
John last night: Democrats just seem like such spineless wimps who never fucking fight for anything they believe in. I’m a Democrat now and more sensitive to language than I once was, so I’m hesitant...

Wanker of the Decade, 2nd and 1st Runners-Up.
Atrios has posted his 2nd and 1st Runners-Up to Wanker of the Decade. I suggest that you think of them not as the runners-up, but the first and second losers in that grand competition; 2nd Runner Up:...

This Here’s Prime Wankery Territory, Boys

Alex Pareene is indispensable
Forgive me for not having much of substance to say beyond the fact that Alex Pareene has become one of the best. There aren’t a lot of online writers whose work I genuinely look forward to, but...

The Reichstag fire next time
Steve M catches Ezra Klein in flagrante contrario with some counterintuitive Slate-style stuff about how president Romney will be Keynesian because he wants to turn the economy around. It’s not...

Get mad, you sons of bitches
I remember reading something about how Clinton said he would have handled the Florida recount. He said something about the Brooks Brothers riot along the lines of “they want to throw a riot, we’ll...

A metaphor or two in the pages of a blue boy magazine
I can’t help myself. I had to go and see, and apparently they’re having a circle jerk of misery over at the Corner. I have found that tears make such ineffective lubricant. Too chafing. However, they...

Bang The Drum, Stupidly
K-Drum has his head shoved up his ass again, I see. Here is Harry Reid on Mitt Romney’s taxes: “I was told by an extremely credible source that Romney has not paid taxes for 10 years.” PolitiFact...

Sometimes you’re better off dead
I come from a family of softies, so I don’t think I can count on any of them for this…but can one of you agree to euthanize me if I ever start to sound like Jack Welch? I’m thinking mistermix and...

Shock doctrine
If this happens, it’s an economic Reichstag fire. Manufacture a “debt crisis”, then use it as a pretext to end social welfare in this country: Let’s first imagine that, on January 20, Romney takes the...

Don’t believe the hype
I started reading blogs about ten years ago. Prior to that, I read newspapers, watched tv, and listened to NPR (my parents force fed me that stuff, like good academic parents do). I now believe that I...

Thick as thieves
Steve M. does his usual admirable job of deconstructing the idiocy of Peggy Noonan: On her Wall Street Journal blog, Peggy Noonan says Fie on your silly polling averages!—she has a hunch Mitt Romney’s...

Millions murdered for a kiss me quick
Peggy Noonan’s insane “good vibrations” piece put me in mind of impeachment, the attempted—and ultimately successful, if you think ahead to January 2001—coup that wingnuts and Villagers led against...

Tramp the dirt down
When does the handwringing about Bork getting Borked begin? Unlike soonergrunt, I’ve always felt that if you haven’t got anything nice to say about anybody, come sit next to me. In the meantime: Robert...

The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you
I believe that our federal government is screwed until the Republican party is crushed or split in two. Somewhat surprisingly, this obvious truth is being embraced by some in official Washington....

They don’t give a fuck about anybody else
It was Bob Somerby who introduced me to the idea that most big name establishment media types only care about themselves, their vacation homes, how much the White House kisses their ass, how big a...

Five years, that’s all we’ve got
As I’ve said many times before, we’re in for a real ugly spell politically. Republicans have no apparent incentive to compromise and establishment media will say “both sides do it” over and over again...

Down where the drunkards roll
I’m watching the Krugman-Scarborough debate and I don’t have a huge problem with how Scarborough is arguing overall. He’s admitting short-term deficit is not a huge problem. His anti-stimulus shpiel is...
