Pardon Me While I Run The Fisk Bus Over Loco MoDo A Time Or Twa

by Smitty Fisking a Maureen Dowd column. It’s the blogger version of calisthenics, really. Maureen Dowd Smitty One day during the 2008 campaign, as Barack Obama read the foreboding news of the mounting economic and military catastrophes that W. was bequeathing his successor, he dryly remarked to aides: “Maybe I should throw the game.” Rules […]

Jonah Goldberg, in Fine Form

Worked up into a long-overdue rant: Tom Friedman — who knows a bit about Hezbollah — calls the tea partiers the “Hezbollah faction” of the GOP bent on taking the country on a “suicide mission.” All over the place, conservative Republicans are “hostage takers” and “terrorists,” “terrorists” and “traitors.” They want to “end life as […]

Krugman, STFU!

by Smitty Sitting There Feeling Useless sits Paul Krugman, unable to grasp that the American people aren’t buying his swill.

Peters, “The Right’s Blogger Provocateur,” New York Times No need to guess which view of Andrew Breitbart the New York Times endorses. […]

Our Criminal Media

Michelle Malkin rips into them good here: With great fanfare and elite media sympathy, Jose Antonio Vargas publicly declared himself an “undocumented immigrant” this week. . . . In the felony-friendly pages of The New York Crimes — er, Times — the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist turned illegal-alien activist spilled the beans on all the illegal IDs he […]

Those are some of Professor Glenn Reynolds’ thoughts on exactly why the editors of the New York Times would assign a reporter to do a 2,700-word hit piece on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
