i had the great (dis)pleasure of working with abby at huff post live, where arianna forced me to work with her despite my protestations that she was a dumb person, and a bad human to boot. her takes were always “i know this goes against conventional inside-the-beltway talking points, but [inside-the-beltway talking…

pass the popcorn, this is going to be great!

somewhere in an alternate universe, glenn greenwald reads this and his head explodes.

football players are assholes. football is a sport for assholes. watching these guys try to injure each others’ brains is infuriating. i can’t wait for this sport to die an unlamented death.

yes patrick, sure, you had me, and then you said “car companies have spent 100 years blahdiblah”

a family claim-to-shame is that my grandmother hired this loser’s father for his first magazine gig at Commentary. he was just a standard shitty cold war liberal back then, before he fucking invented fucking neo-conservatism and ruined the world.
