In an editorial today, the New York Times rails against “the ban on abortion coverage” in the House ObamaCare bill. Obviously written by a member of its star-studded pantheon of intellectual giants, the editorial complains: The restrictions would fall on … Continue reading →
The New York Times, in its struggling effort to stay non-trivial, posts an editorial today on Zbigniew Brzezinski, the latter commenting on what the Obama administration should do about Afghanistan. For those of you who do not recognize the name—and … Continue reading →
A week of surprises from the New York Times. First, there was the confession from the public editor that they screwed up the ACORN coverage because they acted like jackasses. Now, comes word that the New York Times is revealing … Continue reading →
Did not expect this. Clark Hoyt, who claims independence but really seems to be the guy to summarize reader complaints and synthesize them into an op ed article—a pretty clever idea, actually— writes that the New York Times’ failure to … Continue reading →
A New York Times editorial takes the GOP to task for scaring the crap out of senior citizens. Thanks to the darn GOP, only 15% of Americans now think Medicare would be improved under the Obama plan. This is just … Continue reading →
Thomas L. Friedman of the New York Times really wants President Obama to make him czar of something. Anything. He is well qualified. For one thing, he likes “pragmatism,” and he thinks national socialism is a good idea. In an … Continue reading →
You’d think someone would write a book. Not that there’s a word of truth in Jonah Goldberg’s tragically best-selling compendium of scurrilous rumors and accounts of idiosyncratic, marginal cranks like Woodrow Wilson, George Creel, Mitchell Palmer, Herbert Croly, Fr. Coughlin, … Continue reading →
FoxNews is reporting that we live in a conservative writing boom. Three of the New York Times top ten list are staunchly conservative, and none is remotely liberal. Conservative blogs appear to outnumber (drastically) liberal blogs, and book publishers say … Continue reading →
In today’s edition, the New York Times calls for a bank employee compensation policy that would penalize what the NYT considers “speculative activities or other excessively risky transactions.” Interestingly, were the feds to adopt such a policy, it would discourage … Continue reading →
C’mon Dr. Krugman. Really? Today’s op-ed piece in the New York Times is the best you can do? For a Nobel laureate, it’s a really weak piece of work. Heavy on moral certainty, light on evidence. Dr. Krugman’s argument est … Continue reading →
Only the New York Times would have the intentional blindness to consider Obama’s handling of North Korea a success. A success it is not. Bill Clinton kowtows and gets two jailed journalists freed, and it’s a miracle, for North Korea … Continue reading →
From the New York Times describing Clinton and Gore meeting at the airport yesterday. They shook hands first, and than hugged for a full five seconds, with Mr. Clinton patting his hand along Mr. Gore’s back and lingering before moving … Continue reading →
‘Puter knows better than to read the New York Times, particularly anything written concerning “gender” or “family” issues. But ‘Puter got suckered into reading this gem of a column by Judith Warner. Here are the facts, as relayed by Ms. … Continue reading →
How pathetic has New York’s legislature become? So pathetic that the New York Times editorial board has raised the idea of term limits, independent redistricting panels and a state constitutional convention, among other things. When New York’s famously liberal legislature … Continue reading →
USA Today asks, Do religious conservatives share blame in Tiller’s death? The Czar asks, Do Liberals share blame in death of army recruiter? Once again, the Czar will summarize two points of recent merit: 1. Any mainstream media exposition of … Continue reading →
The New York Times editorial staff today put together this whopper. Apparently, the real reason the economy’s in the crapper is because banks are requiring borrowers to pay their full debts, regardless of how underwater the loan is. That is, … Continue reading →
The New York Times in an editorial today states President Obama must not permit trade protectionism to become part of his program. The editorial cites the spending bill’s abrogation of the United States’ duty under NAFTA to permit Mexican truckers … Continue reading →
The Czar is not sure where to go with this. It’s a New York Times piece by Carl Hulse, purporting to describe how the GOP is a conniving little bunch trying to “drive a wedge” between Speaker Pelosi and POTUS … Continue reading →
Harold Meyerson of the Washington Post and Maureen Dowd of the failing New York Times (or is it now the Aztlan Times?) both are reliably good for a laugh, and not in a good way. Mr. Meyerson in this column … Continue reading →
The New York Times has its undies in a bunch today, claiming that the right of the people of California to amend their Constitution at the ballot box should be subverted by unelected judges. The NYT’s editorial staff uses bizarre … Continue reading →
Our liberal betters at the New York Times editorial board have spoken! So let it be written, so let it be done! The NYT now says that Upstate should not use any of its newly accessible (because of better technology) … Continue reading →
The New York Times has issued a diktat that it’s OK for Mayor Bloomberg and the City Council to subvert the will of the people, as expressed through the public’s voting twice to uphold term limits. Apparently, New York City … Continue reading →
Ah, never one to disappoint, the New York Times offers up an unintentional satire of itself on par with New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael’s obliviousness and New York arrogance. Ms. Kael is reputed to have said, in response to … Continue reading →
Maureen Dowd, pictured right, has completely lost her ever-lovin’ mind. That’s not really Ms. Dowd, and she’s really only 56, not 70. But that said, today’s opinion piece in the NYT may be the most incomprehensible piece of drivel ‘Puter’s … Continue reading →
GorT, much like Wile E. Coyote, is in fact a super genius. ‘Puter’s father has also been kicking around Gov. Palin’s name of late. ‘Puter thinks Gov. Palin is a strong, but not perfect, pick. She’ll remind moderate Democrat women … Continue reading →
Why we want to transfer health care to the government? John Steele Gordon, blogging on Commentary online, noting this editorial from the New York Times, has this to say about Medicare. They’re both correct. The NYT is correct that Medicare … Continue reading →
