Neologism: Glenren

by Smitty I’d like to propose ‘glenren’, a contraction of ‘Glenn Reynolds’, as a special term for the blend of faux naïveté, weapons-grade sarcasm, and systematic understatement so brutally employed by The Blogfather: You know, I’m beginning to wonder if they tried to fake the numbers upward for the election or something. Usage: “That there […]

Libya’s Lingering Questions

“Who changed the Benghazi talking points?” asks Sharyl Atkisson of CBS News, and I’m grateful that she’s still asking it. Much of the national press corps is trying to make us forget the Sept. 11 incident that resulted in the deaths of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and four other Americans, and we should praise the […]

by Smitty When compromise Means ‘Damn your eyes’, And honor is passé, And the ship’s port list, Has the crewmen pissed, For capsizing’s no’ so gay, Since Reason and Math, Have succumbed to the wrath, Of the hormone of the day: A rational one asks, While the media basks, In a General’s tawdry straying, Did […]

We disagree with the ruling […]

‘Neal Sounded Weird’ — Did Rauhauser Interfere in a Texas Harassment Case?

Becca J. Lower has transcribed a BlogTalk Radio interview that Heather Chase did with Lee Stranahan. The backstory of the situation involved is convoluted in the extreme, and requires this brief explanation: In June, it was revealed that one of the leaders of an anti-Rush Limbaugh boycott (Matt “Shoq” Edelstein) had claimed connections to top Obama re-election officials during a conference […]

An Hour With Sandra Fluke

by Smitty Had I an hour with Sandra Fluke, I’d read to her from the Gospel of Luke, To watch the jeering Jezebel puke, And take some bets on the time it took, Though such mark me a Christian crook. These days we all need a little book, As the economy has us down on […]
