Normally I wouldn"t subject you to two columns in a row about Canadian goings-on, but I see my new topic has already been deemed worthy of attention here, at "The Week That Perished." "Canada Proposes Imprisonment for Anti-Tranny "Hate Speech"" topped the list: Trudeau ...
It was an accident. Then again, so was Chappaquiddick. No, Canada's Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau didn"t kill anybody. Dammit. Because, what with his majority parliament, nothing less than a murder charge could (maybe) get this damn guy ejected from office after only seven months. ...
Leon Neyfakh writes for Slate so, big surprise, his article "They Totally Knew: The People Who Foresaw the Rise of Donald Trump" doesn"t include a single prognostication that dates past last summer. That's because all genuinely vintage "President Trump" predictions were made in ...

Through malice or incompetence, they"ve gotten a lot wrong"from Stalin's famine to the date of the moon landing"but factor out anything under Jayson Blair's byline, and this famous lede likely holds the New York Times record for the most factual errors in a single paragraph: For more ...
"Leaving the house was my first mistake." That's an old running gag on my blog (along with "Apartheid: Was it all bad?" and "Journalists: Your moral and intellectual superiors!"). It's not just that I"m a demi-agoraphobic introvert with palsied social skills. It's that ...
