The Girls at the Washington Post are Terrible Coworkers

It's primary day here in New Jersey. We'll be voting for Tom Kean in the NJ07 GOP congressional race. Kean, who's a typical moderate, has been running against crime, illegal immigration, and Joe Biden. His ads are quick and sharp. Here we are in the autumn of 2020 during a phone bank session:

It's true, I look great.

The New York Post tells us that The Washington Post has suspended reporter Dave Weigel for a month after colleague Felicia Sommez publicly attacked him over a bad joke tweet. Weigel should sue Sommez. What a cunt. Sommez not Weigel. Between this and the Taylor Lorenz drama, the WaPo seems like a great place to work. It's like a college dorm where all the girl's menstrual cycles have synced up. Rhymes with rich. 

In the Mother Country, Boris Johnson (tosspot) survived the no confidence vote. M. Steyn's thoughts on the man reflect our own. 'He blew it', Steyn concludes. Steyn thinks Boris is 'mortally wounded', but wouldn't he be stronger after winning the vote? Any British/Commonwealth parliamentarians out there wanna opine? This blog doesn't know what happens next. This blog doesn't care. 

Boris winning, the Alberta conservatives voting out Jason Kenney, and Doug Ford annihilating the Ontario libs would make a great article for our KGB handler. We sigh forlornly. We miss colluding with Russia. We really do. No other gig has materialized despite some queries. [Some folks just don't appreciate your genius-Ed] 

The great Don Surbur argues what we've argued for some time. Russia is winning. In the end Russia will get much of what it wants. Ukraine will be flooded with more foreign aid and more westerners, which means more Davos types. But the nation will never be the same. Wouldn't it have been better for Ukraine to concede the facts on the ground and agree not to join NATO in exchange for a no-invasion pledge? Exit question, how much pressure did/does NATO put on Zelensky to keep fighting? Peace is good for Ukraine but bad for Davos.
