Looking For Fresh Ideas And Faces

Given his enormous achievements in parodying progressive thought Matt Yglesias has to be considered a leading candidate for a gig on Comedy Central.

Destined for an epic twitchy thread.

To be fair, that was from last November, before Kerry's awfulness could be further demonstrated over the subsequent 9 months.

HEY HEY!! TomM When did you post this? I linked to it @1:42 on the prior thread. How about a little something, you know, for the effort?

I'm campaigning for this to be Matty's tagline:

Whenever Matt Yglesias opens his mouth, the collected store of human knowledge and wisdom is diminished.

NK, Taranto had tweeted it earlier.

--To be fair...--

Why?

Posted by: Ignatz | July 29, 2014 at 02:02 PM

I'll share the royalties with taranto!

Posted by: NK(withnewsoftware) | July 29, 2014 at 02:03 PM

Why does anybody pay attention to that idiot? Yglesias, to be specific.

Speaking of Twitchy, King Roger's week just keeps getting better:

CH, I'm having trouble focusing on Goodell, Rice, Gordon, LeBron, Love, Wiggins and the rest of the sports world when the Dead Flops appear to be in the process of trading one of their best overall regular season/postseason pitchers in their history.

Call me ungrateful for 3 World Series championships this century, but I don't believe Lucchino and Henry ever were serious about signing Lester to a long term deal.

TC, I can't believe that hilljack trash, Josh Beckett, is pitching like the second coming of Cy Young with the Dodgers.

GOPe, here's a quick heads up:

TC did you see the Revere mayhem coming?

Posted by: Jane | July 29, 2014 at 02:31 PM

No, Jane. At 9:30 am yesterday I received an emergency warning on my cellphone about storms, but the Revere tornado caught me by surprise. It was OK in the Boston Financial District.

Posted by: Thomas Collins | July 29, 2014 at 02:43 PM

And the Dodgers are one of the teams supposedly in the running for Lester, CH.

Posted by: Thomas Collins | July 29, 2014 at 02:44 PM

I saw a pix of it over the water. I wonder if they could see it from the Seaport District.

We had tornado warnings at 5 PM. I was glad Amy was on vacation.
