Hey, I Don’t Steal Hitchens Columns
Tuesday, December 5th, 2006Okay, Timothy Noah of Slate decides to single out random lines in the New York Times and mock them:
The Dec. 4 New York Times contains the single stupidest sentence to appear in that newspaper since I began reading it more than three decades ago. It’s in a news story by Holli Chmela about the Kennedy […]
Oh White People…
Sunday, November 19th, 2006I love when The Times takes on a genre they know the majority of its subscriber base has no interest in. Honestly, the fresh take is usually a good read and you can’t help but snicker at the strained cultural bridging that has to take place to explain the context. Take this story about Jay-Z’s […]
Adventures In Exclamation Point Usage
Sunday, November 12th, 2006From the Sunday Times story about the unending sectarian violence in Iraq…
During a recent joint American-Iraqi raid in a Shiite neighborhood of Abu Sayda, near Baquba, Iraqi troops stood around when they were supposed to be charging into homes. American soldiers, frustrated that the mission to apprehend men involved in sectarian violence was lagging, screamed […]
Cause And Effect
Monday, October 2nd, 2006The Times this morning has a pretty funny pair of stories. The first is a big expose about how Tribune Media has dipped over the years and therefore shoots another warning flair in to the lonely sky above this clusterfuck of big newspaper chains.
But the second is a story about the curious world of online […]
Shittiest Nut Graf Of The Year
Thursday, September 28th, 2006This nut graf sticks out like when Hal Jorden activates his Green Lantern power ring:
Less than a year ago, the Tribune Company told The Los Angeles Times to cut millions of dollars from the paper’s budget and get rid of hundreds of jobs. The top editor and the publisher complied.
But when Tribune came calling last […]
Okay, Fuck You Guys
Tuesday, September 19th, 2006This may be late, but fuck it.
I understand that the practice of journalism is hard work. I gather that a look behind the scenes at the biggest paper in the nation could be interesting. But, the 24-hour miracle?
It’s your job you vanity project motherfuckers. And you wonder why people hate you.

Join The Chorus!
Monday, September 11th, 2006Or, as Gawker points out, maybe it’s more just the New York Times that is obsessed with HBO’s The Wire to the point of name checking it almost obsessively.
But wait! There is also clamoring from another of our favorite fountains of fortune: Ain’t It Cool News. Herc of the Coaxil even points to stand-up comic […]
Today In Filthy New York Times Headlines
Thursday, August 3rd, 2006It isn’t quite the since changed fist inducing tag from yesterday, but who doesn’t to start a Thursday off with a good dick joke?
Hot, Hotter and Wang: Yankees on a Roll
In fairness, Taiwanese pitcher Chien-Ming Wang’s last name is pronounced WOng. But, fuck it, “hot dick” (let alone “hotter dick”) refs are few and […]
Fist Of Rage
Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006This is the headline for a possible early World War III update, from our Newspaper of Record.
Israel Reaches Deep Inside Lebanon in Overnight Raid
This is on NYTimes.com right now. Really, who knew the Gray Lady was such a wild bitch? Read the filth here. Let’s hope Israel remembers to take it’s watch off.
Thanks to Katie […]
