A Zinn Tidbit From “Dupes” By Kengor

by Smitty Burkely Herman is turning into a fun interlocutor on twitter since RSM delivered him a jolly spanking earlier today. There has been some feedback from BH. I’d like to chip in a paragraph from Paul Kengor’s “Dupes” . . .Dr. Howard Zinn, a Boston University Professor. Zinn is an interesting case. He had […]

Why I’m Not on the Harvard Faculty

Besides the fact that all I’ve got is a bachelor’s degree from a third-tier state university, there’s also the problem that I don’t think it’s necessary to apologize for saying bad things about dead bisexual British economists, which is now apparently taboo.

Jeff. G. Heroically Resists

The epic saga of Meg Lanker-Simons continues to yield rich and varied opportunities for the deployment of vicious satire: Last night, a bit tipsy on Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey, I’ll admit, I was subjected to (but nevertheless was able to rebuff) a sudden and violent attempt to hate fuck myself. Unfortunately, the rebuff made me quite angry, […]

Economics, Translated to Plain English

The eminent James Pethokoukis gives you the technocratic jargon: US job growth in April beat economist expectations as nonfarm payrolls rose 165,000, and the jobless rate fell to a four-year low of 7.5%. But the report contained worrisome signs that President Obama’s health care reform law is hurting full-time, high-wage employment. While the American economy added 293,000 […]

Dear English Teachers: You’re Welcome

What’s wrong with this headline? Jason Collins’ Other Hidden Secret Everybody was beating up on Howard Kurtz for the factual error of his story, but the headline was also ungrammatical.
