Allahpundit Mentions Me By Name

OK, he didn’t actually link me, but the acknowledgement of my existence is not a trivial thing. On the 4 millionth hit post, Smitty’s buddy Jeff Weimer commented: Now if we can get Allahpundit to start linking you, we’ll get that slump licked. You may be getting close – he actually mentioned you by name […]

Perez Hilton Parody Shifts Away From Self; Now Parodying Man Of Principle

by Smitty Rush Limbaugh was married recently, as our readers well know. Via Orit Sklar on Twitter comes word of foppish buffoon Perez Hilton mocking Sir Elton John for playing the Limbaugh wedding. “$1 Million for my soul” says Elton in the photo. In the first place, Perez, it would be a drab world if […]

Interracial Marriage Rate Increase Meets Resistance

by Smitty The news that interracial marriage rates are increasing seems like a good thing. Family history and ethnic heritage, while excellent and worthy of all preservation, needs to be balanced with the fact that we’re all Americans and bleed one color when defending our Constitution. The news that the lines are blurring was met […]

South Carolina Sacred Honor Watch

Yeah, I stole the “sacred honor” thing from Ace. Crucify me. He’s taking the day off and missed the latest development, so I’m forced to imagine how Ace would headline it: Will Folks: Sacred Honor Compels Me to Drop More Hints That Might Look Like Threats But I’m a Southern Gentleman — and, Oh, By the Way, Nikki Haley […]

[…]

The first million was, of course, celebrated in February 2009 with the publication of “How to Get a Million Hits on Your Blog in Less Than a Year.” Smitty joined as co-blogger shortly thereafter […]

The Helen Thomas Dogpile

Why am I the last blogger on the planet to blog about this? I dunno. It’s not as if there has been any shortage of blogospheric rage raining down on Helen’s hate-filled head. What’s the point of my running in to give her an extra kick? Besides, once she’s been called an old, ugly Jew-hater […]

D-Day: Remembering the Bedford Boys

June 6 is a day of remembrance in the Shenandoah Valley town of Bedford, Virginia, home of the National D-Day Memorial. One of the questions most frequently asked about the Memorial is, “Why Bedford?” You see, there was a local Virginia National Guard unit that was mobilized in February 1941, and the D-Day Memorial site […]
