The Aborted Birther

At long last, our traumatic national nightmare has finally come to a close, all thanks to Donald Trump, who last week loudly proclaimed to all who would hear that President Obama was indeed born in the U.S. Well, that's a relief! Trump not only cleared the beleaguered Obama of latent Kenyanism, he ...

“€˜Roast”€™ Writers: Ann Coulter Hurt Our Feelings!

The overall quality of Comedy Central's celebrity roasts might have declined measurably since the untimely death of Greg Giraldo (arguably the best roaster ever"€”sorry, Jeff Ross), but the quality of the network's marketing has never been better. In the case of the recent roast of actor Rob ...

The Ghost of Tina Kerbrat

"€œTrying to organize right-wingers is like herding cats!"€ During the years I ran the Republican Party Animals organization, I can"€™t even tally the number of times I was told that. Conservatives, from soft right to hard, like to use that line because, by comparing themselves to cats, they ...

I"€™ll just come right out and say it"€”in my column two weeks ago, in which I interviewed three well-known Trump diehards"€”I straight-out lied to my readers. But I am coming clean. One of my interview subjects, Margaret MacLennan, had recently left her position as director of Milo ...

To Shame the White Man

Every time Western society is treated to another charmingly impish killing spree or terror attack at the hands of a Muslim, we"€™re told (by those guardians of all that's good and decent"€”leftist pundits and politicians) how important it is to safeguard the fragile feelings of those poor, ...

Enough With the Truthers Already!

In 2013, when I was "€œouted"€ for my Holocaust revisionist past, I understood that one of the unavoidable hassles of being forced to "€œrejoin"€ the revisionist fringe would be the flak I"€™d get for my pro-Israel views. Among revisionists, it's rather taken for granted that if you say ...

Punking the Haters

In a normal election year, it would be big news: one of the largest and most influential newspapers in the U.S. fooled by a small cadre of internet trolls into publishing a completely false piece about a GOP presidential candidate. In a normal election year, a story like that would dominate the ...

Mel Gibson

Race, Rape, Republicans, and Rehab

Mel Gibson is back, and that's bad news for the Jews! August 25th marks the release of Gibson's much-anticipated "€œcomeback"€ film, Blood Father, in which the former A-list, boffo-box-office romantic lead takes the Breaking Bad approach to mending a soiled image, portraying a gruff ...
