"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Who Will Courageously Defy the National Gallery’s Gay-Bashing Homophobia?

Why, yes, of course, it’s Frank Rich! And that’s exactly how he construes the situation whereby an exhibit at the National Gallery of Art — “a survey of same-sex themes in American portraiture,” as Rich describes it — was subjected to “censorship” because one work was removed from the exhibit. Anyone offended by a video […]

If Charles M. Blow Never Wrote Another Word About Sarah Palin . . .

. . . it would be nearly as good as if he never wrote another word, period: This is it. This is the last time I’m going to write the name Sarah Palin until she does something truly newsworthy, like declare herself a candidate for the presidency. Until then, I will no longer take part […]

The Idiotic Eloquence of Tom Friedman

Matt Welch engages in a world-historic dismantling of Thomas Friedman’s latest column, with its “trademark sloganeering” and “what-Americans-want ventriloquism.” In the former category, Welch catches Friedman shilling for his too-clever formulation, “nation-building in America” (alternatively, “nation-building at home”) which has been deployed in 14 Friedman columns over the past two-and-a-half years. In the latter category, the way Friedman abuses the first-person […]

Kill the Rich!

Frank Rich, I mean. Three weeks ago, I spent an hour or so debunking his claim that Obama cut your taxes. Being quite proud of the result, I immediately e-mailed it to Instapundit and . . . no linky-love. So after about four or five hours, I e-mailed him again: “I don’t get it. Here we […]

Obama Cut Your Taxes, and Other Lies Frank Rich Wants You to Believe In

You’ve got to marvel at the effrontery of the man: President Obama, the Rodney Dangerfield of 2010, gets no respect for averting another Great Depression, for saving 3.3 million jobs with stimulus spending, or for salvaging GM and Chrysler from the junkyard. And none of these good deeds, no matter how substantial, will go unpunished […]

VIDEO: Do the Barney Shuffle!

It’s the dance sensation that’s sweeping the nation! The New York Times did a feature on Ladd Ehlinger Jr. (“a periwinkle gray T-shirt the color of his eyes”? Dude, I told you that chick was hot for you) recognition that is way overdue, as it’s been nearly a year since I declared: “Clearly, this man is destined […]

Extending The Definition Of ‘Ahenny’

by Smitty (via iOwnTheWorld) AHENNY (adj) The way people stand when examining other people’s bookshelves. Diversity Lane may have us extending this definition to include the New York Slimes:

‘And the War, Tragically, Continues’

Frank Rich’s latest idiotic idea is that Fox News coverage of the Ground Zero Mosque controversy has thwarted U.S. anti-insurgency efforts in Afghanistan. No, seriously. He actually devoted 1,572 words to making that absurd argument. This inspired Rob Long to script a scenario: I can see it now: the flickering firelight in a dark cave […]
