Your ‘Ferris Bueller’ Theory Sucks

Professor Ann Althouse loves the “meta” suggestion that Ferris is just a fantasy figure of Cameron’s imagination, a theory that doesn’t work unless Ferris is also imagined by his sister, his parents, etc. Ferris is the fortunate extrovert whose exploits take on a larger-than-life significance to luckless introverts who admire and/or envy his lack of social inhibition. The careless ease with […]

David Brooks Column Doesn’t Suck; DJIA Loses 225 Points: Coincidence?

As a general rule, when Matthew Yglesia leaps to your defense, that’s an ironclad guarantee that you’re wrong, but this latest Brooks column is actually quite good.  I figure Brooks is sandbagging, setting us up for his next column, which will exceed every imaginable dimension of suckiness. So the market impact of that Greek debt crisis is […]

Dr. Melissa Couthier: The Other Kind of ‘Gay Marriage’ Not So Good, Either

By which she means the kind in which a gay guy marries a woman, goes out to get it on with random dudes he meets in gay bars and then brings home a chlamydia infection for the missus: The fact is, many people, gay and straight, want to live the life of a single slut and have the […]

Contessa Brewer’s Very Bad Day, Or Why Couldn’t Faisal Shahzad Be a Methodist?

We know that this is what liberals really believe, but it’s shocking when one of them is stupid enough to say it out loud: “I get frustrated and there was part of me that was hoping this was not going to be anybody with ties to any kind of Islamic country because there are a lot of people who […]

The Bigotry of ‘Progress’

“Where it is not necessary to change, it is necessary not to change.” — Viscount Falkland, 1641 “My attitude toward progress has passed from antagonism to boredom. I have long ceased to argue with people who prefer Thursday to Wednesday because it is Thursday.” — G.K. Chesterton, 1923 “I can empathize with everyone I cover […]

Primaries in 3 States: ‘If Stutzman Wins, DeMint Is Going to Look Like a Genius’

There are primaries today in North Carolina, Ohio and Indiana, where Jim DeMint’s backing of conservative Republican Marlin Stutzman inspires this reflection from Jim Antle at The American Spectator: DeMint has endorsed state Sen. Marlin Stutzman and has helped him raise over $220,000 in a matter of days. If Stutzman wins, DeMint is going to […]

NYC Times Square Car Bomb: Latest News on ‘One-Off’ ‘Lone Wolf’ Faisal Shahzad

Jammie Wearing Fool reminds us that liberals made fools of themselves in dismissing the Times Square car-bomb, with Janet Napolitano declaring “You know, at this point I have no information that it’s anything other than a one-off,” and Charles Schumer speculating: “The odds are quite high that this was a lone wolf.” If the odds […]

NYC Bomb Suspect Faisal Shahzad Arrested at JFK; Glenn Beck Still at Large

The arrest was announced overnight: A U.S. citizen from Pakistan accused of driving a bomb-laden SUV into Times Square and parking it on a street lined with restaurants and Broadway theaters was to appear in court Tuesday to face charges for his failed attempt to set off a massive fireball and kill Americans, federal authorities […]
