In his July 22 Los Angeles Times column , National Review Online editor-at-large Jonah Goldberg falsely claimed that "[w]ithin months of the [Iraq] invasion, [Sen. John] McCain was calling for more troops and the head of then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld." In fact, as Media Matters for America has repeatedly documented , McCain did not call for Rumsfeld to be fired, or for his resignation....

In an uncharacteristic show of restraint, Jonah Goldberg has yet to claim vindication, on his Liberal Fascism blog, from the fact that Radovan Karadzic, the Serbian butcher of Srebrenica, eluded an international manhunt for a dozen years by posing as a New Age healer named Dr. Dragan Dabic.

Jonah Goldberg has a great point in today’s LA Times: McCain heroically pushed for the surge when the war was at its most unpopular point. Even more impressive, he favored a change in strategy back when the war was popular. Within months of the invasion, McCain was calling for more troops and the head of then-Defense Secretary [...]

From Mr. Goldberg's latest in today's LA Times: It's understandable why so many Republicans see the surge as an ideal political battleground. Outside foreign policy, McCain's standing with the GOP base is often shaky. The party doesn't have a lot...

Real or imaginary? The VH-1 tribute the Who was awesome last night. Especially when they played the "Theme From CSI" and the "Theme from CSI-Miami" but I was disappointed they cut "The Theme from CSI-New York" .

Illustrating the obvious and ridiculous bloviations of McCain and Obama, Jonah Goldberg nails the nonsense to the floor in the New York Post today: In 1892, the Populist Party platform warned of “a vast conspiracy against mankind” run by gold bugs, bankers and, yes, “speculators.” Populists joined the fascists and socialists of Europe in calling for [...]

... cost of oil. I was motivated to redo my charts after I posted this in reference to the belief of Jonah Goldberg that higher gasoline prices can be attributed to rising taxes and higher refinery margins. But these beliefs do seem to be quite stupid when one checks the data to find that the refinery margin has fallen to only 35 cents per gallon and taxes have fallen to only 37 cents...

VF : “The Times is the coxswain, the one setting the pace for the entire culture,” Jonah Goldberg says. “Sociologically, it just matters more.” (“Ideologically, it drives me fucking bonkers,” Goldberg couldn’t resist adding.)

After several lines of sheer babbling Jonah treats us with this really funny line: Even former House Speaker Newt Gingrich — who actually knows how markets work and is better at explaining them than any other politician today No, I think Jonah really believes that Gingrich is a serious economic scholar, which likely explains this babbling: The U.S. government has barred billions of barrels...

Contrary to nearly all received wisdom in Washington, not to mention the rhetoric of the presumptive nominees of both major parties, the scariest moments in American politics are often its most bipartisan. Some would say this was demonstrated in the wake of 9/11, when all those allegedly terrible national security laws were enacted by both parties, or in the run-up to war, when Democrats and Republicans...

Reviewing two books about Pius XII for the Spectator, Pope during World War II, historian Andrew Roberts writes about -- the discussion that took place between Roosevelt and Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli at FDR’s upstate New York home, Hyde Park, in 1936.
