What The Fuck Is A “NoMa”?

Dear Washington Post,
Please don’t publish entire articles in your business section using a cutesy nickname for a neighborhood without once noting the actual name of the neighborhood or describing its location. “[T]he area north of Capitol Hill and Union Station” technically describes roughly half of the city’s landmass, and, while my intention is not to [...]

Richard Cohen totally wrecks all of those young punks and their crazy tatoos. This column is timely, relevant, and worthy of the Washington Post’s op/ed page.
If Richard Cohen fails to win a Pullitzer this year, someone has some serious explaining to do.

The usually quite good E. J. Dionne endorses the ridiculous opinion of two guys trying to sell a book:
The reaction of too many progressives to patriotism is “automatic, allergic recoil,” say two young Seattle writers, Eric Liu and Nick Hanauer, in their important book “The True Patriot.”
Thanks, Dionne, for giving this smear additional legs in [...]
