I’d actually decided late yesterday to ignore most of the Harvey=Hotcoldwetdry stuff, because it is pretty much more of the same again and again. Unless there was something really juicy.

There are plenty of articles, opinion pieces, Tweets, and blog posts discussing Hurricane Harvey and anthropogenic climate change. Those were anticipated. The NY Times and Washington Post both take soft approaches on the subject. We have to head to the Daily Kos for the dumbest hot take (so far) Hurricane Harvey poised to disproportionately impact […]

I caught this one yesterday via Katie Pavlich, who retweeted this ESPN pulled Asian announcer Robert Lee off the UVa home opener to avoid offending viewers: https://t.co/2Oz22i4Vpx — Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) August 22, 2017 Well, that makes sense, right? In the wake of violence between the KK/neo-Nazis and Antifa/BLM in Charlottesville (started primarily by the […]

Seriously, who would have thought that the NY Times Editorial Board would come out and slam Mr. Trump? Mr. Trump on Afghanistan: More of the Same; No End in Sight If there is a compelling case to be made for deepening the United States military involvement in Afghanistan, where the 16-year-old war has already lasted […]
