Deuce Bigalow, Blogger Gigolo: Latest Developments in the Folks-Haley Saga; BUMPED: ‘Dangerous and Unreliable’

* BUMPED 9:15 p.m. ET – SEE UPDATE BELOW * If blogger/consultant/man-whore Will Folks has accomplished nothing else by his boast of an “inappropriate physical relationship” with Nikki Halely, there’s no denying that he has provided a target-rich environment for snark. (Ace was classic.) The fundamental question is this: Out of all the bloggers on the planet, why would […]

Missing Grease Located

by Smitty The USNA Class of ’13 may have been a bit dismayed today to discover that, not unlike the American electorate, they got the obelisk without the grease. Yay, Metrosexuals! Your class is weak. It would be a gross breach of protocol not to heap abuse upon these lesser beings for their shortcomings, as […]

Interior Department Employees Were Getting High and Surfing Porn on the Job

Instead of, y’know, making sure we didn’t have an oil rig disaster: Staff members at an agency that oversees offshore drilling accepted tickets to sports events, lunches and other gifts from oil and gas companies and used government computers to view pornography, according to an Interior Department report alleging a culture of cronyism between regulators […]

Simmons Quits in Connecticut

Bad news for a good guy: Rob Simmons ended his campaign for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate today, comparing a run against Linda McMahon’s money to the futility of Pickett’s Charge during the Civil War. “As somebody interested in military history, it was a foolish waste of people and resources, with a tremendously demoralizing […]

VIDEO: FL-20 Republican Debate; Taxes, Herpes and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz

Javier Manjarres at the Shark Tank got video of this weekend’s debate, but first let me give you some background:  Florida’s 20th District (parts of Broward and Miami-Dade counties, including Fort Lauderdale) has been controlled by Democrats since the district was created following the 1990 Census. In 2004, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz was elected with 70 percent of the vote. One of […]

Not News: Economy Still Sucks

A commenter on an American Spectator post earlier today made a weird statement: The economy, boosted by falling energy prices, a weak Euro, and record low interest rates and tons of liquidity is finally showing signs of life. Excuse me, but “record low interest rates and tons of liquidity” isn’t good news. The Fed is pumping currency […]

Which Fluid Is Scarier?

by Smitty (via American Digest) iOwnTheWorld’s Oil of Obama: or, Ace of Spades’ cocoa butter? Shameless bloviators who’re trying to score a top Memeorandum thread may consider mixing the two. This blog cannot be held responsible for the disastrous side effects of such experimentation, and renews its commitments to safety and vanilla pudding for all.

What Would Happen If The Supreme Court Upheld A Meaningful Interpretation Amendment X?

by Smitty Megan McArdle asks the negative question: what if SCOTUS strikes down ObamaCare? I like the more positive assertion in the post title. “Judicial restraint” for the last century has seen the SCOTUS asleep at the switch, while Federal over-reach has led to government run amok. Certainly, a few generations have benefited, but the […]
