It’s not that most people are stupid (though way too many are). It’s that they become stupid when out of their element. I know girls from high school, dumb as bricks back then, not exactly rocket scientists today. But in the forty years since, they’ve raised great families; they’re ...
In the 1964 movie Lady in a Cage, Olivia de Havilland stars as a fancy lady with a broken hip who finds herself trapped in her staircase elevator during a power outage. Her cries for help alert the “wrong element”; James Caan (his first substantial role) plays a burping, grunting thug who, ...
This was gonna be my end-of-the-year wrap-up (it was written and proofed and everything), but the Vivek “mediocre culture” thing got me fired up, so I’ll run the New Year’s column next week. Am I enjoying seeing MAGA turn on Musk over his push for more cheap imported labor? Heavens, no, ...
Ah, my annual Christmas column, where I get to write about anything that tickles my fancy. So about the New Avengers “Angels of Death” episode... Okay, okay, sorry. I’ve run that joke into the ground enough for one lifetime. But here’s a story I don’t think I’ve ever shared...the ...
I don’t want to come off as lacking empathy, even though I do indeed lack empathy. The assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is reassuring. Not because he deserved to die. Certainly he didn’t. And not because it’s cool to make a political statement by murdering someone. It ...
Ah, the most wonderful time of the year! In 2024 Christmas Day coincides with the first day of Hanukkah. And for you far-rightists, you know what that means: Christian children ripping open presents, Jews ripping open Christian children (the preceding was a paid message from the Candace Owens ...
You need to start taking semen more seriously. As in, not wanting to ingest it. Unless, of course, that’s your thing. But enough about Nick Fuentes. An unfortunately common type of story in the news these days involves food delivery drivers defiling orders with everything from spit to ...
The thing that made Kamala’s cackle so irritating was that she’d do it when nobody else in the room was laughing. “I know, right? It’s hilarious, RIGHT? Guh-GLACK-guh-GLACKLE!” but nobody else was with her on the joke. From a comedy perspective, it’s fine to laugh at a joke that the ...
I have a question for MAGA following Trump’s blowout victory against a cackling cretinous curry-stained flesh-and-blood Thalia mask: How could it have happened? According to the rule you’ve lived by for four years, a rule that made you storm the Capitol, assault cops, destroy property, and, in ...
Our long national nightmare is over. Or is it just starting? I’m writing this at 5 a.m. on the 6th. A few postelection notes; nothing heavy. Angel George Floyd earns his hot wings Thanks to the fentanyl-fueled check kite-flyer, the Dems forced Biden to choose a black woman for his VP in 2020. ...
