If they didn't like his columns why didn't the editor just rewrite them? While he's at it, he can rewrite the ineffectual, washed out, horribly written horseshit that Friedman, Douthat and Brooks churn out every two weeks.
that's not hard, just remind everyone how useless Tigerbeat on the Potomac is every once in awhile and they'll be gnashing their teeth 24/7
I'd love to see a new reality TeeVee show- a cage match between Nate and the NSA to see who can plow through the mountains of data and correctly predict the royal babby's name...
Of course, Nate started out in sportsball before moving into politics - his first election models were based heavily on the PECOTA system he developed for (or at the very least sold to, I'm not quite clear which) Baseball Prospectus.
Anyway, I can only hope he has a Billy Beane like influence on political prognostication - Beane may have been considered "disruptive", but every team in baseball now makes heavy use of sabremetrics in scouting, even the ones that claim not to. The old "pull your thumb out your ass and go with your gut" approach just doesn't exist any more in baseball, but for now it continues to dominate political punditry, despite Nate showing it up for the worthless garbage it is (which, of course, is exactly why they don't like him).
everyone knows they're a basketball school
Brooks thought he seemed gay-ish.
Translation: "He was better at his job than those other guys who work for us, so fuck him."
Airtight logic.
oi. as delightful as that is to read, it DOES bring back that media / wingtard induced nausea i was feeling most of last october.
one of many ways to beat their stupid paywall

Let's just hope Cohen does NOT get inspired by Geraldo's latest twitter twats
breakfast of champions
Weej...
Hate to burst your bubble, but it's the M's...
This is the team that set a record for the most wins in a season, and <em>still</em> couldn&#039;t take the pennant...
The algorithm was a fairly simple one, though: just read their columns out loud.

I don&#039;t think you did that right.
