Keith Olbermann Once Again Displays His Astonishing Lack of Self-Awareness

He begins by chastising Rush Limbaugh for having a huge ego — never mind that Rush’s audience on is at least 20 times as big as Olbermann’s, or that Olbermann is a 24K-gold-plated narcissist — and ends by predicting that Michelle Malkin will die in obscurity: Olbermann’s career is one of the most spectacular failures […]

Would You Hire The Head Alcoholic From Your Local AA Chapter To Manage The Adult Beverage Store?

by Smitty Rick Moran gives a great apology for Representative Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) plan, as reviewed in Forbes by Bruce Bartlett to do something, anything, about the federal debt. Working off the dead horse by the end of the next 70 years is indeed noble.

Conor Friedersdorf Is Not Adolf Eichmann

Let’s just clear up that little misunderstanding right away, OK? To my knowledge, I have never asserted that Friedersdorf was an SS-Obersturmbannführer, nor even that he aspired to such a position.

Iowa Court OKs 17-Year-Old Strippers

It’s art! Nude dancing is still an art form in Iowa, at least at a strip club in the tiny town of Hamburg. The Iowa Court of Appeals on Wednesday dismissed the state’s request for a review of the issue. The request followed a judge’s 2008 decision that Clarence Judy, then-owner of Shotgun Geniez, didn’t […]
