Oh Jonahpaws, let's start with the charming local priest who told his Catholic congregation that they would not receive Communion until they asked for forgiveness for voting for Obama and then work our way through a myriad of televangelists.

this reads like pulp lyrics
I thought that you were joking / When you said "I want to see youTo discuss conservatism / and the future of our nation's heart and soulSix o'clock, my place, DC" / Well I arrived just after sevenBut you said "It doesn't matter" / "I understand your irritationAnd your image, and I'm flattered / Oh and I'd just like to tell youThat I love all of your writings / Could you sign this for my editor?She's on a cruise, her name is K-Lo / Now get down to the gist:Do you want a line of this? / Are you a (sniff) / columnist?"

But look at it through the eyes of a conservative. This is a Democratic city, run almost uniformly by liberals. While many of the problems most prominently on display can certainly be traced back to racism, racism itself is not a central issue in the Wire (nor is racism an inherently or historically conservative phenomena). These drug gangs and the poor souls in their orbit, are not trapped by racism so much as by a dysfunctional culture.

Airplanes can be used for good things and bad things. Some airplanes carry medicine or ice cream, but other airplanes carry bombs or bad people. But an airplane with bombs might be good because the bombs are for using on bad guys, and on the other airplane maybe the ice cream has melted.

Jonah is mad at Joel Klein's review.

authors shouldn't respond to negative reviews IMO, it's undignified. in his post jonah proceeds to commit every sin he accuses klein of. i can't imagine reading an entire book by this assclown but that post illustrates his unique fusion of pseudo-erudition and juvenile putdowns. klein was too kind!

I suspect Jonah took Alex P's comment about him never addressing criticism to heart -- and this is the result.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 20 May 2012 13:12 (twelve years ago) link
as Pareene has noted, Jonah craves the affection of guys like Klein (who's a hack himself).

jberg is good evidence that all the advantages of an upper class, urban, educated, political upbringing cannot substitute for intelligence. he just seems really dumb idk.

pareene piece an excellent takedown to read sunday morning. my only complaint is that having already attacked goldberg it's unlikely pareene will follow-up with more goldberg pieces throughout the rest of the year.
