David Brooks, Brutally Spanked

My apologies for neglecting my regular “David Brooks Fisking Day” duties for several months. Perhaps I’ll have to start outsourcing this task. The NYT’s house “conservative” has published a pretentious new book, The Social Animal, which gets completely dismantled by Will Wilkinson at Forbes: Brooks supplies neither drama, high emotion, nor the mindbending metaphysics of aging without […]

UPDATE: The Girl Scouts Sex Scandal

My post Saturday about the March 2010 Girl Scouts scandal — involving a Planned Parenthood “Healthy, Happy and Hot” pamphlet made available at a United Nations conference event — drew some blowback from commenter Paul Katz: The whole thing was a far-religious right slander campaign against the Girl Scouts. . . . Anyone or any blog reposting […]

Reality Begins to Reach Charlie Sheen

You know how when somebody says “it’s not about the money,” it’s always about the money?

Second-wave feminism’s focus soon shifted from women’s equal rights (which […]

Oops: PBS Got Stung, Too

One of my friends who has very close connections to the operatives involved in James O’Keefe’s sting against National Public Radio had hinted in a phone call that I should expect further exposures and — my, oh, my — what do we have here? PBS confirmed Wednesday that like NPR, one of its executives attended […]

During James O’Keefe’s undercover video sting of (now ex-)National Public Radio executive Ron Schiller, “Ibrahim Kassan” — pretending to represent a Muslim Brotherhood front group that wanted to make a large donation to the NPR foundation — made a number of provocative statements about Jewish control of the media: “Jews do kind of control the […]
