Help me out here. I'm trying to find a particular Tim Kreider cartoon -- one of the panels is talking about the merits of the "unexamined life", and it's Tim's friend Jim who's loving a woman while chortling. The implication is that not thinking about what you're doing and just engaging in hedonism is far preferable to examining your life. I've gone through his (extensive) archives several times and have had no luck finding it.

President Trump cracked wise about Senator Pocahontas to some Native American WWII heroes on Monday. Of course he was referring to Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.

Warren, a blue eyed blonde, landed a job at Harvard Law School while claiming to be a Cherokee Indian, due to high cheekbones. Harvard touted her as the law school’s “first woman of color.”

Now she’s touchy about the subject. So she took Trump’s bait and called his comment a racial slur.

Mollie Hemingway says that makes no sense:

The only way the Pocahontas insult makes sense is as a joke about Warren’s false claim of being Native American. He’s not insulting her for being a Native American, because she’s not Native American. He’s highlighting how she gave employers and others false information about her tribal status while at Harvard and elsewhere.

Trump shat alone on his pot in the dark
"They're jealous losers," he'd frequently remark
Waitin' to see Fox put their news on his dockets
He just kept tweetin' 'bout some dude and his rockets

He's Trump, He's Trump
What's on his head?
He's Trump, He's Trump, He's Trump
I think it's dead.

Trump is a big celebrity
The Russians claim that he really likes the pee
He never feels too dumb because
His bots fawn over every little stupid thing he does

He's Trump, He's Trump
He's real inept
He's Trump, He's Trump, He's Trump
Has he sunset?

His buddy Mikey was a Colts-hating douche
His friend with no wife he called the Scaramooch
His spokesguy Spicer was kind of a wimp
He went to the White House and acted like a pimp

He's Trump, He's Trump
He's real far-right
He's Trump, He's Trump, He's Trump
And he's too white

Is this Trump out of his head?
I'm 'fraid so
Is this Trump really white?
I'm 'fraid so
Is this Trump really the Fed?
I'm 'fraid so
And that's all I have to say about that

Trump and Branco think of Native Americans as intrinsically villainous goblins. Telling but not surprising.

If Trump gets taken from power either by impeachment or article 25 would his judicial appointments be re-evaluated even though they’re supposed to be for life?

For those not in the know, the Utah Legislature and our pissbrained governor have been trying to eliminate all our public land, aka the driving force of Utah's economy, so it can be looted by extraction companies. Trump is going to announce that he's shrinking some awesome National Monuments and folks are pissed.

“The tape, without question, is real.”

I expected better from The New York Times.

The quote is the lede of a news story by Daniel Victor, a reporter at the Times. Victor’s piece is about a controversy, or more precisely, an echo of a controversy: the 2005 “Access Hollywood” recording in which Donald Trump is heard joking with show host Billy Bush about grabbing women’s genitals. The audio (you don’t see Trump’s face during the gutter talk) was released shortly before a major debate against Hillary Clinton; it nearly cost Trump the election.

Perhaps in an effort to distance himself from the big sexual harassment discussion, Trump has lately been telling people that the audio wasn’t real — that it wasn’t him saying all that sexist stuff. “We don’t think that was my voice,” he told a senator recently.

Trump’s denial-come-lately (he apologized at the time) is being ridiculed. “Mr. Trump’s falsehoods about the ‘Access Hollywood’ tape are part of his lifelong habit of attempting to create and sell his own version of reality,” Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Martin of the Times wrote. Senator Jeff Flake said: “It’s dangerous to democracy; you’ve got to have shared facts…that was your voice on that tape, you admitted it before.”

Trump lies a lot. He may be lying here. I don’t know.

The point is, neither does The New York Times.

What disturbs me more than the possibility/likelihood that the president is a liar is the fact that journalists who ought to know better, including six-figure reporters employed by prestigious media organizations like The New York Times that repeatedly brag about adhering to high standards, are too lazy and/or ignorant to conduct basic due diligence. This isn’t new: I have been the subject of news articles for which the news outlet didn’t call me for comment (calling for comment is journalism 101). But journalistic laziness is still shocking and wrong.
