The real reason Kamala Harris’s staff is fleeing? The estimable Roger Kimball recently wrote a think piece that he himself admits may be far fetched, but seems less so each day. In it he speculates Democratic leadership, desperate about the coming cataclysm in 2024, are scrambling to come up with ways to remove, before theContinue reading “Don’t Let the Door Hit You on the Way Out.”

Airbrushing the Truth.
A pretty girl is like a melody. They are indeed “laughing at us” (as no doubt their counterparts at CBS and ABC are) when making Lia Tomas, the shemale Ivy League swimmer, look more ladylike. It is not a laughing matter though, but another example of the transformation of this nation into a Stalinist wokeContinue reading “Airbrushing the Truth.”
I Wish They Wouldn’t Do These Things.
An ill-considered tribute to a great artist. Ruth Slenczynska, 97, a piano great, has had a long and successful career. A child prodigy, she survived a rough childhood with a brutal paternal stage mother, who beat her with a wooden shovel handle when her playing didn’t measure up. Despite such awful treatment, she survived, seeminglyContinue reading “I Wish They Wouldn’t Do These Things.”
A Story that Will Remain Unread.
Who does does read them?
Stupid is as Stupid Does.
The President opened his mouth again. From PJ Media: Joe Biden embarrassed himself (yet again) on Thursday, proving once again that he should never try to riff during a public speech.“I just want you to know, I may be Irish, but I’m not stupid,” Biden quipped during the Annual Friends of Ireland Luncheon. “I marriedContinue reading “Stupid is as Stupid Does.”
Hard Szells.
Separated at birth? The movie Marathon Man was brought to mind recently, specifically the horrific character of Dr. Szell, the sadistic dentist, ably played by Lawrence Olivier. Since the movie’s release in 1976, your Tatler has wondered if there were any connection between that character’s name and the only other Szell known to him, GeorgeContinue reading “Hard Szells.”
This is Terribly Sad.
A Ukranian woman plays her piano one last time before quitting the wreckage of her home. (After false start, Chopin: Etude No. 1 in A-Flat, Op. 25.) Whether coincidence or not, the pianist’s choice of Chopin is telling, as the composer was half Polish and much grieved by the brutalization of that Slavic nation byContinue reading “This is Terribly Sad.”
Whatever Became of the United Nations?
Has anybody looked around Turtle Bay recently? Remember the United Nations? Or, if you are younger, have you heard of the United Nations? Believe it or not, once upon a time the UN was regarded as a big deal. By “regarded,” that is to say it was the great darling of the old-time liberal eliteContinue reading “Whatever Became of the United Nations?”
Having Another Crack at Permanent Daylight Saving Time.
It will fail like the last time. Nearly 50 years ago, in April 1973, President Nixon (during an OPEC oil embargo, no less) signed a bill from Congress enacting a renewable one-year trial of permanent daylight saving time. It was much debated, with opponents in and out of Congress arguing it would lead to, amongContinue reading “Having Another Crack at Permanent Daylight Saving Time.”
Compare and Contrast.
Holiness, whose side are you on? From the Catholic News Agency: After the legislature of the Mexican state of Sinaloa voted to legalize abortion up to 13 weeks (emphasis mine),the Diocese of Culiacán announced that Catholic politicians who voted in favor of the law will not be able to receive the Eucharist or be godparents.Continue reading “Compare and Contrast.”
