Treading Water With Bimbos and Bilkers

This week, I present the parable of the bimbo Kansan. Bambi Bimbo leaves her Midwestern homestead to come to Hollywood. With her tight ass, toned tummy, pert breasts, and button nose, all her life she’s been told by her kin in Kickenschitt, Kansas, that she’s destined to be up thar on that ...

Overton Window to the Soul

One of the frustrations of writing a weekly column is that sometimes you wrap a piece, post it, and that very day the Special Olympians of public discourse provide fodder you wish you’d been able to include. I’d just finished writing about the lunacy of rightists who see in Kanye West a ...

Ron DeSantis

Right Wacks Off, Goes Blind

I don’t live by a lot of rules (“socks first, then shoes” is one I find helpful. You’re welcome). But here’s a rule I appreciate more as I get older: Stupid and crazy are traits best avoided. I can hear you saying, “Dave, that seems obvious.” But you’re wrong, oh imaginary reader. ...

Midterm for the Worse, Part III: Disjoin or Die

Last week I was watching Tammy Bruce on Fox, and...hey, is she still a lesbian? That used to be her thing, right? Whatever happened with that? Tammy Bruce’s lesbianism was like Bobcat Goldthwait’s screaming: It was never interesting, but it was at least distinguishing. So there’s Bruce, the ...

Midterm for the Worse, Part II: These Firsts Shall Be Our Last

I get it, you’re tired of the midterms. Time to move on! After all, the GOP controls the House...by such a slim majority one softball shooter with decent aim could blow it to hell. But hey—Boebert won! Yippee! Time to break out the “liberal tears” memes. An incumbent barely won by 550 ...

Midterm for the Worse, Part I: Fetus Do Yo’ Stuff!

The next few columns will analyze the midterms from different angles. This week: abortion. Pro-lifers post-Dobbs have effectively demonstrated what happens when a dog finally catches the car: He runs over his friends. Then he crashes through a house and bursts into flames. Worse still, unfazed, ...

Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolfberg?

This column’s posting the day of the midterms, and that’s all anyone’s gonna want to read about. But I’m more of a postmortem guy than a prediction guy (I gave up doing predictions after last month’s column “Liz Truss: Now Begins a Decade of Glory”). So instead of making wild guesses ...

Kanye’s Kancellation: The Devil’s in the Details

I’m not sure l’affaire Yeezy deserves a second consecutive column...but its lessons certainly do. Because the lessons are so cut-and-dried. Kanye West committed the cardinal sin: He offended the one group you can’t criticize—the Jews! “Every ‘cancel’ story has its own unique ...

Kanye West

The Jews Are Ye’s Misfortune

Kanye West’s Jew-obsessed meltdown offers many potential angles for analysis. I could start with the “why do you still trust Tucker?” angle. Carlson prefaced his now-infamous Kanye interview with an assurance to you, the viewer, that even though Kanye’s detractors claim the man’s ...

Bean and Gone in L.A.

A conservative author remarked to me a few days ago, “Between Kanye and the Jews, and the City Council Mexicans and the blacks, it’s been the Cole Cinematic Universe this week.” Indeed, many familiar notes; this’ll be a two-parter. The L.A. City Council (LACC) Mexicans story has been ...
