Revolving Doors: Freire Exits Examiner, Joins NMS; Klein Exits Spectator, Joins Examiner; Hot Air Is Hiring (Not Me)

One of the things that has always amazed me about D.C. is how frequently young people change jobs here. You go to a cocktail reception and run into a think-tank guy you met at a reception six weeks ago: “Hey, how are things at [name of think tank]?” And he says, “Oh, I’m at [name […]

Obi’s Sister: Her Pi Are Square

Not that there’s anything wrong with that, OK? Anyway, Ginny at Obi’s Sister celebrates her five-year bloggiversary by getting her geek on — today is “Pi Day” (3-14, get it?) and so she’s all geometric and stuff. Ginny got a birthday ‘Lanche, but didn’t even bother to link her Lithia Springs homeboy. Sigh. Now that […]

What I Said to Pete

Pete Da Tech Guy took a gander at my recent go-rounds with Little Miss Attila — as I’ve called it, “blogospheric badminton with ‘feminism’ for a shuttlecock” — and expressed his enjoyment of the discourse. So I left this comment at Pete’s post: Glad you enjoyed the spectacle. Joy is one of my favorite people […]

James Wolcott: ‘Those Sort of People’

When you turn over a rock, you expect to find creepy-crawly things, but still sometimes … “I don’t think Felker had any way of knowing what was going to happen. Christgau, Goldstein … it was those sort of people who really formed the core of politicizing the Voice and really pushing its cultural coverage to […]

For The Left, The Tenth Commandment Is As Meaningful As The Tenth Amendment

by Smitty Professor Jacobson: Growing the pie is a concept the Democratic Party doesn’t understand. Instead, it is focused on slicing the pie we have. Which is why the Democratic Party and the Michael Moores of the world hold no promise for our future, they dwell on the past. As Upton Sinclair noted: “It is […]

Repeat After Me: Raaaaacism Is DNA-Based Decision Making

by Smitty I’m shocked, shocked! when I look at the latest doings of Holder’s DOJ while sticking a fork in an electric outlet. The D.O.J. has forced other police departments across the country to lower testing standards, citing once again that not enough black candidates were passing.  Really, Holder? It would be relatively less offensive […]
