Definition of ‘Misogynist’

A guy who thinks feminists are funny when they’re angry. And of course, they’re always angry, aren’t they? “Dilbert” cartoonist Scott Adams mocked them for fun: This weekend the top twitter meme in the solar system, at least for a few hours, involved Feminist blogs calling me an ignorant, misogynist asshole. Adams explains that what seemed […]

Rule 5 Sunday – Under My Wheels

Mr. G kicks off this week’s Rule 5 roundup with the obligatory sweater puppies, this time from Clemson, and follows it up with some from Duke. Also contributing to the collegiate enthusiasm is Mind Numbed Robot, with a fine assortment of da puppies, some of them actually in sweaters. Three Beers Later closes out the […]

Ace Miffed At Portman For Doing What She Does?

by Smitty I’m afraid I don’t grasp the nature of the criticism of Natalie Portman, whose Black Swan flick I still haven’t seen. Come to think of it, my only knowledge of the lady is that the Slashdot crowd fantasizes about her petrified, naked, and covered in hot grits. So what if she was also […]

New York Times Sends an 11-Year-Old Girl to Interview the Jonas Brothers

Or the equivalent thereof: Shridar Pappu’s profile feature on “Washington’s New Brat Pack” pulses with so much fanzine breathlessness you might think it was February 1964 and the Beatles had just landed in New York: In only a few years, these young men and others like them have become part of the journalistic establishment in […]

However, if he’s no more serious than the current example, then I wouldn’t vote for him as President of Hair Club for Men. We need limited government and fiscal sanity. […]

05Apr: Walker’s Wisconsin Waterloo?

by Smitty John Nolte at Big Government updates us on the status of the case of the Union vs. Governor Walker in Wisconsin. It’s an excellent overview, worthy of your full attention. The gist is that if one of the four conservative judges on the court, Prosser, is lost on the 05Apr election, then the […]

Even Mark Steyn Misses The Point From Time To Time

by Smitty Steyn’s NRO article “The Art of Inconclusive War“, subtitled “Why is it that the United States no longer wins wars?” is another fine outing, but ultimately dances around the issue of the lack of victory in war, as evidenced by actual peace. Bottom line up front: homo bureaucratus is here to manage problems, […]

Thanks Guv, You Do Us Proud

by Smitty (gracious hat tip to Cubachi) One derives a great deal of satisfaction from the privilege of voting for genuine Americans like Bob McDonnell. You can tell the difference between a good leader and another Ruling Class stiff by the way a good leader draws the audience up to a higher level through a […]
