Shorter New York Times

PROFITS BAD! Making matters worse, businesses are already plowing fewer profits back into their own enterprises. Over the past decade and a half, corporations have been saving more and investing less in their own businesses. . . . The reason for all this saving in the United States is that public companies have become obsessed […]

CWCID For NYT From AllahPundit?

by Smitty The NYT engaged in respectable journalism and hammered Richard Blumenthal, the Connecticut AG, for attempting to assing himself off as having served in Vietnam. AllahPundit updates his post to say: Credit where credit is due: No doubt it pained the NYT to drop a bomb on one of the few surefire Democratic winners […]

‘So Gay-Friendly as to Be Gay-Crazy’

No, this is not another story about Charlie Crist. That quote comes from Catholic League president Bill Donahue, reacting to a New York Times story about a priest “abuse” scandal where the alleged “victim” didn’t seem to mind too much: Why would the New York Times try to sell this so-called abuse story with a straight face? […]

He’s Got a Ph.D. and a Nobel Prize, But . . .

. . . Paul Krugman is still a moron about economics: Free markets are “efficient” — which, in economics-speak as opposed to plain English, means that nobody can be made better off without making someone else worse off. Voluntary exchange — the free market — is mutually beneficial. The guy at the convenience store has gasoline. I’ve […]

Nevada Voters to Hopeless Harry Reid: ‘We’re Just Not That Into You’

Let’s see, 62% of Nevada voters oppose ObamaCare, and Harry Reid couldn’t get 50% in a poll match-up with Charles Manson, so obviously it’s time for Harry to make fun of Sarah Palin and launch a sparsely-attended bus tour of the state: “You can’t escape who you are. My roots are here and no one can take […]

One of These Things Is Not Like the Other

Jim Hoft says it’s a “smear” for the New York Times to compare the Tea Party movement to the Weather Underground of the 1960s and ’70s. More to the point, the comparison is stupidly inaccurate. The Weathermen emerged after 1969 from Students for a Democratic Society — an organization, as it name says, composed primarily of college students. SDS […]

It’s David Brooks Fisking Day Again!

The World’s Worst Newspaper Columnist descends from Olympus to favor unworthy mortals with his esoteric wisdom: Human beings, the philosophers tell us, are social animals. We emerge into the world ready to connect with mom and dad. We go through life jibbering and jabbering with each other, grouping and regrouping. When you get a crowd […]

Paco Uses ‘Elitist C*nt’ In Reference To David Brooks!

by Smitty The Enterprising Paco appears to have gone all Dan Riehl over a certain John Feehery at the Daily Caller. Feehery’s piece is a prime example of Brooksian nematodery. The title of this post comes from the following passage of Paco’s flogging: You have unhappily tripped up upon your very entrance into the arena […]
