Meanwhile on the International front....

"Me and the man in the black pajamas... mono y mono... worthy fuckin' adversary. But this, a buncha fig eaters tryin' to find reverse on a Soviet tank..."

Or Netanyahu was already on thin is with many Israelis and there were immediate rumblings that he deserved at least part of the blame for Israel being caught flat-footed on Oct. 7, so he needed a drawn-out, brutal war as a means to stay in power.

 

This popped up on the RIP thread for John Amos today. Funny doesn't feel like the right word, but it is a hell of a coincidence given what Israel has been doing.

 

Bari Weiss, professional opinion-haver, has opinion about opinion having.

 

It appears she is quoting someone else. Your issue should be with the writer of the article she quoted.

 

The piece she's quoting is one she commissioned for her "Free Press."

I still don't get the point. Columnists and TV analysts discuss other people's opinions all the time. And this board does the same thing.

The original post was an opinion about someone having an opinion about having an opinion.

 

Seems odd to dismiss or disqualify or denigrate Coates on that basis, then.

Since opinion writing is the same thing Weiss, who very much considers herself a journalist, does.
