"The deflection tactic of Sundeen and his ilk deserves a name. It's being employed with such frequency, it's gone beyond being merely a cliché; it's now a full-fledged strategy." That was Taki's own David Cole, justifiably frustrated by the left's current favorite rhetorical gambit: ...
So the Queen joked that (re)meeting Canada's new 43-year-old prime minister, Justin Trudeau, made her "feel so old." Yeah, well, that line forms behind me, Grandma. I feel like I"ve aged ten years since "Zoolander" took over last month. Not that that's a novel sensation. I ...
Taki's own Gavin McInnes just conducted a mesmerizing interview with Breitbart.com's Milo. It was titled "Why We"re Winning," because Milo's new column in question is called "Why I"m Winning," and so they talked for over twenty minutes about how and why ...
Since its 1964 debut, Fiddler on the Roof has been the leading philosemitism gateway drug. Ever the contrarian, I"m a Jew-lover in spite of that musical, not because of it. The movie adaptation aired on TV when I was a temperamental, tantrum-throwing teenager; all those adolescent-angst ...

Nobody needs to tell me to boycott Quentin Tarantino. They"ll revoke my Gen-X card for this, but I"ve always disliked his movies"or, more precisely, the inexplicable praise they"ve received for their "daring" and "originality" ever since his directorial debut with ...
There once was an American billionaire, one so powerful and paranoid that he insisted upon being left off all those Forbes lists. He never showed up to Bilderberg or Bohemian Grove, so after a while, he stopped being invited. His name dropped off those lists, too, then eventually out of even the ...
Conservative Party of Canada - 44.6% Liberal Party of Canada - 32.7% New Democratic Party - 13.1% Hey, you Americans are thinking, are those the results from last night's Canadian federal election? (That is, those Americans who aren"t thinking, "What election where now?") And the ...
"Who the hell is David Wong?" I asked that at my blog back in September 2007. I"d just read a pretty impressive essay called "7 Reasons the 21st Century is Making You Miserable." Well observed and wise in its own offhand way, it wasn"t the sort of thing I"d expected to ...
