Plea to Miami Herald -- Good Lord, Please Don't Publish This Richard Cohen Column!

We all know the Miami Herald publishes old WP opinion columns long after they have been widely circulated and debunked on the tubes, I guess because they figure some old lady in Westchester doesn't have online access and therefore cannot learn what David Broder thinks about bipartisanship in real-time.

I kid, I kid.

Anyhoo, I suppose it's just a matter of days before the Herald winds up publishing this atrociously bizarre Richard Cohen column on torture. Hmm, maybe Richard really does know funny!

So to get you ready for tomorrow, or next week, or whenever the syndicate gets around to releasing the column to the Herald for publication, you can read Wonkette's actually funny (and stunned) reaction to it here.

Never Give A Sucker An Even Break!

Well I sure hope everyone is watching that great PBS documentary series on comedy in America, Make 'Em Laugh, which was on again last night. If you want insight into the anti-authoritarian, mostly Jewish outsider perspective that motivates us to make a lawyer or judge joke on this crappy blog every so often, take a look at this well-produced anthology.

Too bad Richard Cohen's op-ed in today's Miami Herald makes me feel quite certain this guy is no yiddisher cup.

In other news, Michael Hanzman files a lawsuit and the defendant offers $1.7 billion to settle on the very same day.

And it still doesn't look like it's enough.

Business as usual, I guess.

Talk to you all later!
