Craven-ness Central: Those Who Hate You Laugh At You, Without Humor

by Smitty Via HotAir comes the news that the dhimmitude is worse than it superficially appears: We delivered our version of the show to Comedy Central and they made a determination to alter the episode. It wasn’t some meta-joke on our part. Comedy Central added the bleeps. In fact, Kyle’s customary final speech was about […]

Is Glenn Reynolds Fatwa-Worthy?

The professor mocks the Religion of Peace: Comedy Central cowers in the face of a murder threat/warning against “South Park” creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker. Obviously, Christians — and Sarah Palin fans, and lovers of My Mother The Car — should take heed of this incentive system our modern media is creating. Don’t want […]

Republicans for Arlen Specter*

* – Offer expires 5/19/2010. Attention, members of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy: We’ve got an unanticipated problem developing in Pennsylvania, where the long-awaited Arlen Specter meltdown appears to be beginning prematurely.

Social Security Is Popular?

by Smitty (h/t Insty) Legal hero Randy Barnett has a couple of clips discussing ObamaCare’s Constitutionality. He makes the claim that Social Security is popular at the end of the second clip. With whom? Lots of people are cigarette smokers, and I submit that the godforsaken Ponzi scheme that is Social Security is popular, relatively […]

James Manzi Will Regret This But Once, and That Will Be Continuously

He has written a very dismissive attack on Mark Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny. Levin will surely respond, as always, with overwhelming rhetorical force.
