How Dare You Call This Obvious Spade A Spade

Look, everyone. I understand that Jonah Goldberg wrote Liberal Fascism lo those many years ago, and it forever changed the way we lie about fascism not being a right-wing philosophy. It is, however, still utterly hilarious to see conservatives get their dander up because someone dare links a nativist, racist,…

Conservative editor: Young Americans ‘so frickin’ stupid’ they shouldn’t get to vote

Appearing in a video published online on Thursday, Jonah Goldberg, editor-at-large for the neoconservative National Review Online website, explains that he believes letting 18-year-old Americans vote is a big mistake that should be taken back. Advocating that conservatives should “literally” beat young people into political submission, Goldberg said that young…

A Proposition For The Ages

Jonah Goldberg endorses a proposition by Will Wilkinson that we may judge philosophies by the trail of their dead: Here is a good debate proposition: It ought to be less embarrassing to have been influenced by Ayn Rand than by Karl Marx. The most powerful way to argue the affirmative…

The Dumbest Man In Public Life, Perhaps Ever

The question of whether or not there is someone dumber than Jonah Goldberg is not really a matter of debate. It’s more a matter of certain fact, buffeted by a gospel of buffoonery so vast and deep that the Marianas Trench is envious. First, Jonah, playing off of a Mark…

If Only There Were Thousands Of People In The Middle Of This Thing Telling Us What They Want

There’s a reason that we’re all so aware of what’s happening in Iran. There are thousands of people sending out as many messages as they possibly can whenever they can using whatever means are available. This means two things. The first is that Twitter is now the most important thing…

Mostly an excuse to share the Neiwert link

Reading David Neiwert’s further take down of Jonah Goldberg’s drivel, and comically horrified to discover that Goldberg has the absolute gall to consider Neiwert an “ankle-biter” I figured I’d share with him what real “ankle-biting” looks like. Jonah, a reasoned and thorough destruction of your entire thesis is less “ankle-biting”…

Police States: They’re What’s For Dinner

Herring v. United States was a landmark case for exclusionary rule jurisprudence. Short version, a man went to get his truck out of the impound lot, and an old warrant that should have been deleted from the system popped up. That led to a search of his truck and his…

Last Final Tomorrow

To keep up with the theme of the day: Rick Warren is not involved with the final in any way. What I don’t get about Obama’s insistence that we must overcome division by legitimizing those who divide us is that there are thousands upon thousands of religious figures who don’t…

G-Fascism…A Whole New Era

Where the rhythm is the bass and the bass proposes a massive ideological slaughter of its enemies. Now, what about those whom Obama and his supporters vanquished? What the Republican party badly needs is a Night of the Long Knives. Finally, Jonah Goldberg’s thesis has been validated with all the…

Election season sci-fi reading

io9 asked me to contribute a recommendation for what sci-fi book you should read before the election. I was unduly tickled to be the token female in a question about science fiction. On one hand, I’m not like a huge sci-fi geek or anything. On the other hand, I wrote…
