The New York Times‘ Sunday magazine has a lengthy profile on Lindsey Graham this weekend entitled “This Year’s Maverick,” because that is a word that still means something to the NYT Magazine, or perhaps they are making a joke. To be fair, some of this profile is about how Graham is concerned about immigration and [...]
Thursday, June 17:If you’ve been watching the World Cup, you’ve probably become viciously anti-American. You may also like Latinos and have contemplated which salad, cupcake or modern furniture store to loot should the U.S. tie/win on Friday. But before you lose all sense of good will, head to Town Tavern on Thursday night for a [...]
When your morning editor was browbeaten into blogging three days a week on this accursed site, he swore a blood oath to himself to never write a post parsing the rambling, overpaid opinions of Maureen Dowd or William Kristol or the beardy guy at the Post who simply does not care for anything that happened [...]
Everyone was so relieved when Chris Dodd announced he wouldn’t seek re-election, because then this attorney general guy Richard “Dick” Blumenthal could run and actually win, easily. He would be the next Barack Obama! And maybe he still will, but this New York Times article is kind of terribly and completely devastating. Seems Dick spent [...]
The “gotcha” part of the NYT “takedown” of Politico/Mike Allen is so pathetic, we feel bad for Mike Allen. Turns out his dad, who died a quarter-century ago, was a wingnut who wrote John Birch crap and was suspicious of government! Sort of like EVERY OTHER DAD IN ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. Conversely, Mike Allen enjoys [...]
We’re now about eight nine pages into this very long NYT magazine thing about The Politico, and it’s mostly the stuff you know about — the funny cartoon video somebody made, all the reporters who quit, etc. But there’s one crucial bit of Win the Morning hilarity we must share with you, as it succinctly [...]
We’re going to admit something here, before the New York Times Magazine news article about Washington webzine sweatshop “The Politico” changes the very nature of Time/Space: We do not read Mike Allen’s daily email, and we don’t look at the Politico unless we absolutely have to — like, say, when a hundred readers keep sending [...]
Kyrgyzstan something or other, Muslim guy smoking on airplane, and oh dang these fine young ladies are just aching to be on the front page of the New York Times, “Unseasonable Scenes,” that doesn’t sound too pervy, does it? Global warming is gonna be sweet! [NYT]
There’s the real CNN we all hate, which is nothing but a bunch of political consultant hacks sitting at tables reading talking points right off their laptop screens while Wolf Blitzer staggers around yelling nonsense. And then there’s the imaginary CNN available exclusively within Ross Douthat’s skull, a network broadcasting only Hard News programming. To [...]
CLOSER? That was just Clive Owen showing his vagina to Julia Roberts for like two hours. [NYT]
NEW YORK TIMES NOT REALLY CUT OUT FOR LIVEBLOGGING: “Mr. Hoyer begins recognizing ‘little punk staffers,’ a reference to a derisive character made by Representative John Boehner, the minority last week …. ” Is this a known language? [NYT]
THE WAY WE LIVE NOW: OMFG some Mexicans are eating tacos for breakfast, in America. Trend piece? [New York Times]
Haha, we almost put “Officially Quits Race” in the headline, but how can a civil rights leader and symbol of hope/change such as David Paterson quit his own race? Anyway, so much for the dream, the dream of America’s first blind black governor. Just 11 months ago, America gathered around its communal browser and held [...]
For weeks now, several hundred people who follow New York state politics have been very excited about a possible BOMBSHELL related to David Paterson, the wacky blind governor who used to do so much blow and bang all these gals at an uptown motel. Paterson only ended up as governor by mistake — Eliot Spitzer’s [...]
