If You Were Floating In The
Abstract Symbol Space Surrounding
His Head, You Would Know

by Smitty John at Power Line asks “Why Bother?” to the 1,200 National Guard troops deployed to Arizona. These troops will, apparently, filter out all of the drugs and guns coming across the border. Lawyers and money, apparently, not so much. The point of all of this is not to do anything effective. (The deployment, […]

The Classic Liberal Is a Good Blog

Just switched the FMJRA Award to The Classic Liberal, which is a good excuse for a brief Rule 2 seminar. Earlier today, I got an e-mail from a journalist who was doing a story about how the Dale Petersen video went “viral.” The reporter asked me why I called out Gawker for failing to give me a […]

Was The Guilt Card Necessary, Dan?

by Smitty There are some religions that thrive on guilt, Progressivism among them. It’s certainly crucial that we support bloggers when reality gets rough.

How would a media revelation of an affair be more hurtful to Folks’ family than his self-exposure? He reminds me of the […]

Why We Hate Gresham Barrett

In case you haven’t been following the Folks-Haley saga — and really, this blog is 24/7 Folks-Haley lately — remember that it was supporters of Rep. Gresham Barrett, who’s running for governor of South Carolina, who were reportedly pushing the rumor about Nikki Haley. Why would Barrett’s people seize on that sleaze? Because Haley is kicking […]

Why We Love Ann Coulter

Because she’s funny: Watching TV this week, at first I thought Republican Senate nominee Rand Paul had flown a commercial jet into the World Trade Center. But then it turned out that he had only said there ought to be discussion about whether federal civil rights laws should be applied to private businesses. This allowed […]

Not Good News for James O’Keefe

Mary Landrieu’s office in the Hale Boggs federal complex in New Orleans pleaded guilty Wednesday morning in federal court to entering real property belonging to the United States under false pretenses. Magistrate Judge Daniel Knowles III sentenced Stan Dai, Joseph Basel and […]
