I´m with OP´s observation about Charles Blow - in fact, the past season Blow has penned other level-headed opinions that take on the left rather than champion it. Refreshing.

Blow´s blows to the left blew me away. Apparently, Mr Blow determined which way the wind was blowing then wrote the article.

So Paul Jacobson is going to pat the little negro boy on the head and give him a lollipop for finally getting something correct? How wonderfully 1965.
It´s grotesque that Mr. Blow felt compelled to write anything at all. While Mr. Jacobson is so very proud of Mr. Blow, it should be noted that this was a great opportunity for him to say, "White folks love murders, too! Hell, white folks even have festivals for their mass murderers!" (sigh)

Its sad that we have to sing praises to a minority for common sense.

All we need now are the Serendipity Singers.

Why congratulate Blow for having a shred of common sense for once? He is supposed to be a professional after all.

So, if this idiot writes piece after piece filled with leftist, race-victimology rubbish, we are supposed to celebrate when he has a passing bout of integrity?

No. Charles will always live up to his name.

I looked up the definition of the political Right. The only honest concept was opposition to the evils of the Left/the purveyors of the French Revolution. To be Left is to lie, therefore the Right must be honest.

Bonny and Clyde were overt evil doers. Hollywood made a movie which portrayed them as the moral good guys, where the audience was expected to see their end as tragic. Blow is right, Dorner was an evil doer who does not merit sympathy or support.

This is not a case of the broken clock. A clock is an analog device, therefore a broken clock is analogous to stasis. It is always wrong. Blow was right.

I don´t have any problem admitting that, if it bears the NYT moniker, I simply never read it.
