The Morning Rant

"So over the weekend I heard that some big-ass powerful Hollywood guy named Harvey Weinstein was suddenly fired from his job, removed from any position of power or influence, forced to confess to heinous and unspeakable crimes and now everybody is running away from him like they don't even know him. He'll never work in Hollywood again. What, did they find out he was a conservative?"

What a Surprise:

The Stupid, It Burns!

Yesterday, Matthew 'Brainiac' Dowd crapped out this tweet:

He quickly deleted it when he got dogpiled by counterexamples in the comments. Then he issued a 'clarification'. This tweet is still up and the comments are epic:

Here is what i should have said to be clear: more Americans were casualties in Vegas than Americans were casualties by Islam in last 10 yrs.

It's one thing to shoot yourself in the foot. But it's another to blow both feet clean off. I am starting to regret my decision to make Sally Kohn the gold standard of internet stupidity.

I always get a kick out of these "More Americans have been killed by 'X' than by Islamic terrorism in the last 'Y' years" statements that progressives like to fling at us like they're supposed to prove something. Because 'Y' is always a number specially chosen so that it is almost, but not quite, big enough to include the year 2001.

Gee, I Wonder Who This Guy Would Think Is Left-Wing?

People don't seem to understand that I consider Obama, both Clintons, Kamala Harris and all neo-liberals part of the right.
