Because of travel, I don’t have time for a regular post today, but guess who’s now writing for the New York Post?
No, guess again.
No, guess again.
That’s right; me! I knew you’d get it in three tries. Go here to my column, or go buy the paper. It’s nice for my writing to once again be in a form you can roll up and hit the dog with.
Congratulations, Frank!
I will take your advice and buy a copy. The neighborhood dogs are going to rue this day.
New York Times? Now my canary will have to be careful not to squeeze one out on your by-line.
If, on the other hand, science tells us huge government is better, then we’ll impose government regulation and high taxation on everyone — though it might be a little bit difficult since the control group will have lots of guns.
Perfect closing line, Frank.
Nice article. I don’t think Jonah Goldberg was ever published in the NYP….just saying.
Is there nothing that SCIENCE cannot make better?*
*(Bacon and Jameson’s being the exceptions that prove the rule)
I couldn’t comment at the Post so I’ll comment here…
Buttercup needs a change.
Congrats Frank! You are the rocket on an actual dinosaur. Think about it.
Now be careful you don’t burn down the OpEd pages. 🙂
Blimey! Frank is published in print media! The world stands up to take notice! Many demand HIGH PRAISE for Frank whose article was not only insightful and witty but also a clear and cogent defense for the Second Amendment.
Congratulations and well done!
That is awesome! Congrats.
Are you saying that got printed on paper, Frank? Can I use it to start a fire or wrap fish? Newspapers have such high utility value.
Let’s make the control group really big and the test group relatively small, (like just Massachusetts). It’s the ethical thing to do when one case is so very harmful to the experimental subjects. The n is plenty big enough for this experiment.
Congratulations Frank! That’s a well written article. I forget the link unfortunately but on Mises.org recently they had an article about this. Canada was the control. They’re doing better with less stimulus money.
New York Post comes on paper???? But on that note, I still get the Sunday paper delivered. I like my charcoal grill way better than my gas grill (carcinogens be damned!). I need the newspaper to light the charcoal with the chimney starter. Plus my wife has caught the fever for “extreme couponing” and can’t wait to dive right into the coupon section…after sleeping in till 10am. Although I would never say it out loud or put it in writing, I think she is really a “half-hearted” couponer. She has joined all the right online clubs and purchased the appropriate organizers. I’m not sure if we’re saving money, but I can’t wait to hear tonight’s story about the 99 cent bottle of dish soap.
I don’t know Frank, they Said “Frank J. Fleming is a political humorist.” Does this mean it’s supposed to be funny? I thought it was a serious idea.
We have a test Group called “San Francisco” and a control group called “America”. We just need to keep the people that are conducting the tests from interfering with the control group. Any one caught trying to push things on the control group that is not in the Constitution should be hit in the side of the head with a cast iron skillet. Start with a 6in one and gradually increase the size and force of the blow.
“But the problem with testing political ideas on monkeys is that forcing them to go billions into debt would violate animal-cruelty laws. The only ones we’re allowed to do that to are people.”
Plus, have you SEEN Rise of the Planet of the Apes?! Dude, what if we inject the monkeys with something really awesome and then they overcome us?
Consider the risks, man!
Yay Frank! I am so proud and impressed! I bought a subscription to the NYP a few years ago to send some poor kids in Harlem to summer camp. It was supposed to be for 6 weeks (the subscription, not the camp, I think the camp was a ruse) but they kept charging me so we ended up getting the paper about 6 months cause I was too lazy to call up and cancel. That & we lol’ed the headlines. I don’t know why I was sending Harlem kids to camp anyway since I live in Philadelphia, I should’ve been sending Philadelphia kids, I guess I’m just what’s known as an easy mark.
Anyway, congratulations! I guess I’ll go read the column now.
It is an honor to be published in the opinion pages of The New York Post. I couldn’t wait till today to read it. I ran out and bought it this morning as I always do and Frank, you did your family proud. I am so excited for you ! PS: Hilarious creative and the science is now settled ! 🙂
Them newspapers will hire any Belgian vagrant right off of the streets, I tell you what.
I wonder if they thought you were related to Ian Fleming?
Frank is now a J O U R N A L I S T.
I don’t know whether to be impressed or disgusted. Maybe Frank IS the control group!
Frank J is all growed up! Sniff…wipes tear from eye! Well at least we are the group that trained him, taught him everything he knows about ritin’ and stuff and about world events so I think we should all take High Praise as a celebration in Frank’s accomplishments! We ARE the control group for Frank’s thinking…um…wait a minute…I don’t like the sound of that at all!!! Head punch for me!
Wow! I can’t beleive I know a journalist. Oh. Wait. I don’t really know you. Oh well, great article.
After the NY liberals see this maybe Frank will need that hand to hand kung fu training he is getting from Aquaman. Good column, and congradulations.
Congratulations! Now you can annoy a much bigger audience.
I’m SO proud of you !!!!!
Dude … Hang on ! You’re gonna have alot of fun !
This is Hillarious !!!
Good knowing you all these years !!!
Frank J. Fleming is a political humorist.
I wonder how many angry complaints about monkey abuse the NYP gets even with the disclaimer above? Crazy monkey lovers
wait…there are journalists here? i gotta go…
Today the world, tomorrow Mark Steyn. Proof that when Frank gets mad, Frank gets stronger. Now Frank smash.
What a great article. You just can’t argue with the scienciness of it. It’s airtight. Like the Earth.
Actual ink on paper? Sounds unsubstainable. I don’t even read a paper Bible. Frank they just cut down an acre of rain forrest in your honor. Wow that’s cool
QUESTION FOR FRANK: You’ve often stated in your comments that there’s no reason to have newspapers anymore. Now that you may be doing some writing for the New York Post, can we assume your viewpoint has changed?
hey Frank! Congratulations on the writing gig – been following your IMAO posts and twitter ramblings. You are blessed with a great sense of humor and talented writing style. Hope the New York Post assignment blossoms into the next phase of your career (God only knows what that might be.) 🙂
Gene
Wait, Frank is a journalist? STONE HIM!
You can’t trust newspapers. Heck, they actually described Frank as a “humorist”.
It’s a New York City newspaper – so maybe they we’re trying to be ironic or something.
So, the author listed at the top of the article is “Frank Fleming” and at the bottom it’s “Frank J. Fleming.” There are other Frank Flemings, you know. Something is fishy here.
Will Frank be on the All-Star Panel next? Tomorrow teh World!
That was a lot like reading one of Frank’s online columns from which the funniest jokes had been cut due to space limitations (just kidding). Next time I’m in New York I’ll buy the Post for sure!
Today – A Political Humorist! Tomorrow – Steamy Man-O-Man lovin’ with Paul Krugman! Just think “casting couch” ma boy! So, when you see Frank J on the cover of the New York time, remember how he got there!!!
“I sometimes comment at a blog written by a guy who got published by the NYP” is the ultimate pick-up line for getting the hawt chicks. Guys, you need to try it. Trust me.
spacemonkey!!
Are you gonna write some stuff while Frank’s gone?
Yeah?
Yay!
I still can’t believe Frank’s name was on an article in the Post. I’m amazed. I tore it out to look at it sometimes. Reading it online is not nearly as exciting as seeing it in the paper. This is big. Don’t get a fat head there Frank, but you done good.
Mega congrats on being published in the New York Post! You know, if the NYT readership keeps dwindling, you’ll soon have more people reading your work than people reading Paul Krugman’s work.
Krugman is funnier – without even trying
‘Hitting’ Krugman ‘over the head with the paper’ is funnier. There, I fixed it.
Especially if the paper is rolled around an iron pipe.
“If someone does try to argue about it, you just hold up your palm to his face and shout, “Science!,” which means that the science is settled, so the discussion is over.”
If I had any money, I would bet some of it that NOT ONE of the global warming alarmists who read this sentence recognized it as a jibe aimed at him or her. Not. One.
Congrats, Keep it up.
But we do have an experimental group and a control group. The science was settled on December 25, 1991.
Anybody know where I can sign up tone part of the control group?
Bravo Frank!
