Conservative NYT columnist busted after complaining about $78 hamburger at airport (msn.com)
Longtime conservative New York Times columnist David Brooks was buried under an avalanche of jokes, insults and fact-checks after he complained on X, formerly known as Twitter, about having to pay $78 at a New Jersey airport for a hamburger, french fries and a drink.
Apparently attempting to make a point about the high cost of food, Brooks posted a picture of the partially eaten burger, fries, a pile of lettuce and tomatoes, several used ketchup packets and what several commenters seemed to believe was an alcoholic beverage
Accompanying the picture he wrote, "This meal just cost me $78 at Newark Airport. This is why Americans think the economy is terrible."
That, in turn, led to X moderators appending a community note fact-checking Brooks and explaining, "Based on the similar table, glass, chair, sheet and cut of fries, this is the Smokehouse Restaurant in Newark Airport Terminal A. The burger and fries cost $17."
In 2008, Brooks was accused of dreaming up "his own reality" in a report from Fairness and Accuracy in Media when, among other questionable assertions, he maintained Barack Obama wouldn't feel comfortable at an Applebee's salad bar.
He wrote, "Obama’s problem is he doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who could go into an Applebee’s salad bar, and people think he fits in naturally there."
Brook's 2008 comment was seized upon by Jon Stewart, the then-host of "The Daily Show," who pointed out that Applebee's did not have salad bars, with Stewart sarcastically joking, "Clearly David Brooks is a man of the people who knows Obama would never fit in at an Applebee’s salad bar, or the McDonald’s beer garden, or a Wal-Mart observatory.”
Late Wednesday Brooks received a similar reaction to his purported $78 meal with David Simon, the creator of HBO's "The Wire" joking, "If I spend $78 on a meal at the Newark Airport, I'm boarding my flight sh*tfaced and demanding to copilot the plane. That is all."
Podcaster Mark Romano wrote, "It wasn't the hamburger and fries that cost David Brooks $78, it was the 4 double bourbons this drunk a**hole had before posting this stupid tweet."

GOP Rep. calls for general to be 'hung' in echo of Trump's 'death penalty' comment (msn.com)
Congressman Paul Gosar, representing the 9th district of Arizona, said on Sunday that a retiring general should be "hung," echoing sentiments from former president Donald Trump, who said the military leader might deserve "the death penalty" for his purported actions.
Gosar, who was targeted for censure after his newsletter reportedly included a link to a website that promotes antisemitism and Holocaust denialism, said in his Sunday newsletter that General Mark Milley wrongly delayed National Guard resources surrounding January 6th.
Gosar's comments come just after Trump suggested that the retiring general who has criticized the former president deserves the "death penalty," prompting conservatives of various backgrounds to condemn the comments.
POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?
In Gosar's newsletter pn Sunday, he said that after the riot "was in full swing, the Chief’s request for National Guard was finally approved."
"But even after approval was given, General Milley, the homosexual-promoting-BLM-activist Chairman of the military joint chiefs, delayed," the lawmaker added. "Of course, we now know that the deviant Milley was coordinating with Nancy Pelosi to hurt President Trump, and treasonously working behind Trump’s back."
Going even further, Gosar suggests Milley should be executed.
"In a better society, quislings like the strange sodomy-promoting General Milley would be hung," he said. "He had one boss: President Trump, and instead he was secretly meeting with Pelosi and coordinating with her to hurt Trump."
He added:
"How this traitor remains in office is a question we need answered."

That could be a book about people divorcing and remarrying, couldn't it?
But of course it isn't. Because hating on gays never really died in Rightie World. It's still very much present.
'Pound sand!' Michigan MAGA GOP chair freaks out on critics while attacking evolution (msn.com)
Michigan Republican Party chair Kristina Karamo this weekend reportedly pushed back against those challenging her leadership, telling them to "pound sand" as she attacked evolution.
Karamo, who earlier this year called on supporters of former President Donald Trump to put "the fear of God" into state Attorney General Dana Nessel, appeared at the Michigan GOP's biennial leadership conference this weekend. An event typically catering to top political talent was taken over by far-right extremists this year, according to local reports.
"Even as attendance cratered and many elected Republicans steered clear, a faction of Michigan Republicans convened on Mackinac Island this weekend for the party’s biennial leadership conference, celebrating a community that embraced the same conspiracy theories and ultra-conservative policies," the report states.
"Chair Kristina Karamo, while lambasting the theory of evolution, dispelled rumors she was planning to resign," the article states.
It continues:
“Those who wish to maintain the status quo and manage inefficiently are angry that I’m chair,” she said, according to MLive. “Pound sand.”
The report also states:
"Speakers pushed theories of widespread election fraud and railed against vaccines, globalists and the 'uniparty.' Charles Thurston, a speaker that claimed to unify the bible and medicine, appeared at the podium wearing the mask of a medieval plague doctor and a tri-cornered hat, ringing a bell to skewer the pandemic response."
According to another news story, Karamo said Darwin's theory of evolution is a fraud and a hoax, yet leftists cling to evolutionary theory because "when children are taught that one part of the Bible is false, they are more inclined to also question its other teachings."
