What bokononists whisper whenever they think of how complicated and unpredictable the machinery of life really is.


By Elton Beard

There are two kinds of people in the world, those who divide people into two kinds and those who don't. I don't.

Shorter Tom Friedman:
Timeout for Imagination
  • This reality thing is giving me a headache, I'm going to sleep now, and when I wake up I hope to find a shiny new theory deposited under my pillow.
Inspired by a suggestion from reader Suresh Krishnamoorthy.

Plus: Sadly, No does David Brooks and also reminds us that credit for the Shorter concept is due to Daniel Davies (who has since moved on to bigger things).

Saturday, June 26, 2004
3:00 PM PT

Shorter Amy Sullivan:
Preach It, Brother
  • I believe that almost everyone believes as I believe and that those who don't will come around eventually if I just insult them enough.
Via Upper Left via Atrios.

Thursday, June 24, 2004
8:00 PM PT

The Bush Cheney Team Restores Honor and Dignity to the White House, Take II.

Go forth and conjugate thyself, maternal mounter!

Up next: Calm Optimism.

2:30 PM PT

Shorter Jim Hoagland:
The Toll of 'No More Iraqs'
  • Bush has so bollixed the crusade to bring God's gift of freedom to Iraq that he risks giving all unprovoked wars a bad name.

2:15 PM PT

Shorter Max Boot:
A Clever Fellow, to Be Sure, but Clueless About Character
  • In which I conclude that conservatives are obsessed with the sex lives of others and liberals are not.

Tuesday, June 22, 2004
4:00 PM PT

Shorter David Brooks:
A Matter of Faith
  • I have faith in the inability of Americans to discern real decency in a politician who does not engage in crude displays of ostentatious religiosity.

Monday, June 21, 2004
10:00 PM PT

Shorter Jack Shafer:
Michael Moore's hysterical, empty threats
  • Michael Moore pretends to threaten litigation against critics of a film he is currently promoting, leaving me no recourse but to pretend to take his threat seriously in order to prove it unserious.

3:30 PM PT

Shorter Christopher Hitchens:
Unfairenheit 9/11
  • Michael Moore is factually challenged, by me, which is to say me and the facts disagree, so lets me and the facts go outside and settle this thing right now, right now, and if you dare quote from Orwell I’ll double-plus kick your totalitarian pacifist butt and - hey, where you going, hey!

11:30 AM PT

Shorter William Safire:
The Zelikow Report
  • The 9/11 Commission staff are lying scum, and I'm not.

Update: uggabugga explains how Safire does it, while Needlenose enjoys the dogfight.

See Also: Scott Rosenberg's exfoliation and Laura Rozen's disassembling of the grumbling dissembler.
