Saturday Updates

We are back from the beach where we had a gout attack and our computer broke down.

Hence the absence of activity on this blog. We are writing this on Middle Daughter's Chrome Book. So bear with us.

It looks like the Dem's October surprise came early. That's how much trouble racist, rapist Slo-Joe Hiden'-Biden is in. If you believe their story, published by a lying, dog faced pony-solider like The Atlantic editor Geoffrey Goldberg, well, can we interest you in some Arkansas swampland? Also, this blog has done some real gumshoe journalism, and can report, via a trio of reliable yet anonymous sources, that Geoffrey Goldberg dresses in women's clothing and hangs around in bars, but only on the weekends. We later had the story confirmed by other anon sources.

After reading about The War of Northern Aggression up through Antietam, we think we're too tough on McClellan.  We're on a new book now, dear god, Fredericksburg. There's no way the Young Napoleon was worse than Burnside. Grant would have launched a holding attack and slid south. Right? The Wilderness is one thing, but there's no way he would have crossed a river under enemy guns and then attacked up slope.

We've decided we need a little more political intrigue in The Final Storm, and this would be a good place to introduce Senator Al Gore, who will be the Dem nominee in the World War 1990 election in '92. We know exactly how the race goes.

We no longer believe we'll have The Great Nuclear War of 1975 done by 21 September.

Since our computer was out, we did some productive outlining of Palmerston's War. We have four stories:

-The Battle of Washington DC, British army advances on west back of Potomac while ANOVA advances north then west looking for place to cross. Lots of ship to shore action. Who sees the two massive mistakes the Limeys are making?

-Contraband, in which a British warship deals with runaway slaves

-The Hudson River Campaign

-Ambassador CF Adams in London dealing with the British

-Something Great Lakes

-Something Great Sioux Uprising

Ideas welcome.

Olga Khazan Likes the feel of Lycra on her Bottom

What in the name of the Lords of Kobol:

I don’t remember what specific combo of frustration and busyness led me to wear leggings to the office one day recently, but I do remember it felt magical. With nothing but a stretchy band and Nulu(™) fabric holding me in, I felt freer, like I was dancing through my duties, rather than trudging through them encased in polyester and wool. My computer seemed to run more quickly; my sources were more responsive; the PR people were less angry.

Olga goes on to complain about uncomfortable women's work clothes.  Listen sweetheart, wear a coat and tie for 8-10 hours a day. 

Lemme fix that headline for you, Olga: Decent enough looking Millennial gal wants to show of her somewhat shapely bottom to co-workers and prove she's as pretty as the cute 20 year old intern from NYU. 

[You really enjoyed writing this, didn't you?-Ed]

I did.

The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg: the Left kind of Jew

Yesterday Jeffrey Goldberg fired The Atlantic's new columnist, Kevin Williamson. Williamson had earned some ire on the right for writing not very complimentary things about poor white people, a caste from which he hails. We always took his writings on the matter as self-criticism. It never bothered us. After all we bash our fellow Jews here, both secular and Hasidic and are about to do so now.

Williamson supports the death penalty for abortion. Take it away Ben Shapiro!

So, Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic has now fired former National Review columnist Kevin Williamson. The reason, supposedly, was that Williamson had written a tweet years ago suggesting the death penalty as a punishment for abortion; he also appeared on a podcast wherein he discussed the idea. But Williamson’s tweet was widely distributed on Twitter for years. In other words, this wasn’t anything new. Goldberg merely caved to public pressure from the Left.

So holding certain opinions is now grounds for termination? Have fun with that, HR. We'll leave others to hash that out. 

Shapiro points out that The Atlantic employs Ta-Nehisi Coats, (we have no thoughts on pronunciation) who thinks the white man casts bad ju-ju against the black man. The Atlantic also employs Andrew Sullivan, the world's premier homosexual gynecological expert. Sorry folks, you're just going to have to google that one.

But let's get back to Goldberg. Shapiro notes Goldberg was 'a pawn of the Obama administration who acted as their front man for selling a series of egregious lies to the American public about the Iran deal...'

Lord, we loath Jews like Goldberg. He loves Israel, so long as the nation is run by Globalists* like the Quisling Shimon Peres and failed Prime Minister Ehud Barak.** Warriors like Begin, Sharon and Netanyahu are just so...so...low-brow. They kill Israel's enemies and keep the Sabbath holy. One has to be loyal to one's class, after all, and Bibi makes it difficult to defend the Jewish State when amongst the Smart Set. Jews aren't supposed to fight back, don't you know.

Goldberg certainly didn't fight back against Media Matters. So the Atlantic loses a talented, and more importantly, interesting writer becuase Jeffrey Goldberg has no spine.
