Bill Schmalfeldt Continues His Insane Investment in Brett Kimberlin’s RICO Suit

Bill Schmalfeldt ranting, 2011. (Image via Thomas Anderson at Vimeo) Am I now or have I ever been engaged in an interstate racketeering conspiracy? No, and the allegations by Brett Kimberlin in his federal lawsuit (which John Hoge dubbed Kimberlin v. the Universe, et al.) are utterly absurd. Yet the manifest absurdity of Kimberlin’s conspiracy […]

Obama: ‘What IRS Scandal?’

The big news out of Bill O’Reilly’s Sunday interview with President Obama was the latter’s claim that there wasn’t “a smidgen of corruption” in the IRS scandal.

Highly recommended. Barack: you’re a no-talent rodeo clown. Hats off to your slick efforts to sell a pile of crap as competence. Nobody […]

Rule 5 Sunday: All Hail The Superb Owl!

— compiled by Wombat-socho As a fancier of the strigiformes family, especially Bubo scandiacus, I was glad to hear that there was going to be a huge national celebration…oh, wait, it’s the NFL championship? Football? Never mind. I’m sure there will be some linkagery of cheerleaders below, if you appreciate that sort of thing. Other […]

Amanda Bynes Returns to Sanity?

When the former Nickelodeon starlet had a very public nervous breakdown last year, I feared the worst. The prognosis for chronic schizophrenia — which is what the reported symptoms suggested — is not encouraging.
