The Other McCain Sells Out

— by Wombat-socho DATELINE LAS VEGAS After a shocking early morning phone call from Stacy in which he revealed that he had sold the blog to Jeff Bezos of the Washington Post for an undisclosed amount of money “and other valuable considerations”, possibly including a minority stake in the Hagerstown Suns minor league baseball team, […]

Night Of The Digital Long Knives

— compiled by Wombat-socho Silicon Valley delenda est. I don’t think anyone except the Silicon Valley oligarchs, who no doubt had this planned well in advance, and Vox Day, who had expected this for some time – expected the whole sale purging of conservative & populist accounts from social media that’s taken place this week. […]

I AM NOT WORTHY

– by Wombat-socho Enormous thanks to everyone that hit the tip jar to bail me out of this latest mess, which ought to be the very last one of these, God willing. Despite the credit union making it more difficult and painful than necessary to actually make the payment, I’ll be all caught up as […]

— by Wombat-socho Generally speaking, I don’t comment on the rare occasions when I use the banhammer on some fool in the comments. The departure of the unfunny, unlamented Guinspen, however, strikes me as a good time to remind people of the ground rules here. Some years ago, when Stacy asked me to come aboard […]
