Jake Tapper is a Douche

I'm proud to announce a new blog. You will find here the sort of thoughtful, insightful cultural and political analysis that one only finds rarely these days. With that, and with the warmest Easter greetings, I would like to say, without delay, that Jake Tapper is a douche.

The name of this blog and the nom de guerre I've purloined are of course from P. G. Wodehouse's Jeeves & Wooster stories. Psmith (the P is silent, an affectation Rupert adopted to distinguish his surname) was one of Wodehouse's favorite characters. He was rare in the Wodehouse universe for his sly intelligence and socialistic leanings. From wikipedia:

Psmith is a somewhat selfish young man; however, he is generous towards those he likes. In a typical example from Leave it to Psmith, he perceives Eve, trapped by the rain under an awning, and decides, chivalrous gentleman that he is, to get her an umbrella. Unfortunately for Psmith, he does not, in point of fact, possess an umbrella. He solves this problem by appropriating another man's umbrella; when confronted by the umbrella's owner, Psmith attempts to comfort him by saying it is for a good cause, and, later, when relating the story, says, "Merely practical Socialism. Other people are content to talk about the Redistribution of Property. I go out and do it." (Another of Psmith's quirks is his penchant for nominal socialism, observed mostly in his casual use of "Comrade" as a substitute for "Mister.").

Welcome, Comrade! Let the games begin!
