[...] Say g’night, Gracie: In today’s “reportage” of the World Cup semifinal between Italy and Germany, the (lefty) Washington Post reported that the game-winning goal was scored on a left-footed kick, while the (righty) Washington Times reported it was scored on a right-footed kick.

Paradoxically, if you’re actually angling for an NR gig, you are probably already on the medications necessary to make the right impression.

In another instance of weird symbolism, the National Review reported that Grosso scored the goal with his ass.

I only excerpted part of the post. I’m sure he counselled us to bomb Iran further down, but only in some mysterious service to his Shah-lovin’ Iranian exile cronies, and anyway I didn’t read that far because I’m out of dried frog pills and didn’t want my brains to get scrambled. any worse.
