Yip, we still need to elect Democrats today

October 13, 2010 By stomv 7 Comments

Jacoby gets it right. (Did I really just say that?)

November 22, 2009 By David 12 Comments

A couple from Brazil, seeking a better life for themselves and their 2-month-old daughter, enter the United States unlawfully. They settle in Massachusetts, where 18 years later the girl graduates from a public high school, as assimilated … [Read more...]

Whoppers Of The Week

November 18, 2009 By shiltone 4 Comments

And finally, speaking of gifts:  The gift that keeps on giving -- Jeff Jacoby. One thing that's always baffled me is how racists think they can speak in "code" that nobody but other racists will understand.  Jeff Jacoby, who once … [Read more...]

Jeff Jacoby at it again

March 8, 2009 By historian 76 Comments

Distorting Holder’s comments about race

February 25, 2009 By hubspoke 2 Comments

I hate to draw readers' attention to Jeff Jacoby but his column about Eric Holder today is so full of bull... Distortion #1 - Holder did not say we are a nation of cowards. He said we're a nation of cowards when it comes to dealing with … [Read more...]

Jeff Jacoby Pretends to Understand Economics

December 15, 2008 By kbusch 43 Comments

Finally, Mr. Jacoby seems to have the absurd expectation that if we just did a few things (like "lower taxes!"), then the economy would quickly right itself — or at least show an improvement in its polling. He seems to think that we … [Read more...]

Jeff Jacoby, Winner of Today’s Unintended Irony Award

November 16, 2008 By kbusch 27 Comments

Beginning of opinion on Sarah Palin:But there can't be much doubt that Palin has become the brightest star in the GOP firmament. A whopping 91 percent of Republicans have a favorable view of her, according to a recent Rasmussen poll, and … [Read more...]

Is this guy for real?

October 3, 2008 By Sean Leave a Comment

On the one hand, Jeff Jacoby forwent the analysis of how Palin would play in Peoria. He avoided the pundit fallacy of assuming that his view would be middle America's. On the other hand, what a wacky bit of cheerleading. Particularly in … [Read more...]

Jeff Jacoby’s latest rant

September 17, 2008 By Sean 5 Comments

Just like queer Pride, comprehensive, consent-based, LGBTQ+ inclusive sex ed is a necessity at all times of the year. Join us July 13 at the state house to rally for the Healthy Youth Act and comprehensive sex ed for Massachusetts youth! #mapoli #HealthyYouthAct #sexed
