VIDEO: The Miracle on Grass
American Imperialists 1, Third World 0 Why is Fox Sports hiring neurasthenic wienies like Jason Whitlock? The World Cup narrows our view and, more than any other sporting event, baits us to give in to nationalism, jingoism and racism. It’s not the Olympics. Not everyone is invited. And no one pretends the month of World […]
The Flemish Menace Returns!
Yes, it’s true. Those dangerous “ultra-nationalists” who inspired Charles Johnson’s insane fears — Belgium Uber Alles! — recently popped up on the political radar again, as Jesse Walker of Reason magazine reports: In last week’s Belgian elections, the secessionist New Flemish Alliance emerged as the largest party in Parliament; if the group achieves its agenda, Flanders will soon be independent […]
Gen. McChrystal Relieved of Command
This was predictable: President Obama has relieved Gen. Stanley McChrystal of his command in Afghanistan, administration officials said. Obama will make the official announcement in a few minutes. UPDATE: Gen. Petraeus has been asked to take over in Afghanistan. UPDATE II: Sissy Willis on Twitter: The slur “General Betray Us” was coined by Keith Olbermann. And the […]
USA! USA! USA!
America was three minutes away from being eliminated from the World Cup when midfielder Landon Donovan scored in overtime to give the U.S. team a 1-0 victory over Algeria.

UPDATE: I’ve decided to […]
World Cup: ¡Va La Argentina!
Argentina got second-half goals from Martin Demichelis and Martin Palermo to defeat Greece 2-0, advancing to a round-of-16 match against Mexico. Your average Argentine soccer fan hates Mexico in a way that would horrify Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Argentina totally dominated Group B — scoring 7 goals to their opponents’ one — and against Greece, controlled the ball by a 2-to-1 […]
If McChrystal Is McArthur . . .
. . . in this analogy, then I guess Barack Obama is trying to be Harry Truman: The top commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, has been summoned to the White House to explain biting and unflattering remarks he made to a freelance writer about President Barack Obama and others in the Obama administration. The […]
The Goal That Wasn’t
Am I turning into an un-American soccer-loving faggot? What’s wrong with me? Why do I keep blogging about this controversy? But that ripped-off goal still rankles: IRENE, South Africa — FIFA will not address the performance of referee Koman Coulibaly, the embattled official from the Americans’ 2-2 draw with Slovenia, before Monday, a spokesman has […]
VIDEO: Dancing Brazilian Baby
Just in case you haven’t seen this yet: Not to be judgmental, but by the time your kid learns to do the samba, don’t you think he’s probably ready for potty-training?
