Stupid Is as Stupid Does

  It’s possible for me to go many months at a time without remembering that Charles Johnson still exists. Diary of Daedalus called attention to Charles claiming he’d gotten a thousand hateful mentions after his endorsement of Alyssa Milano’s idiotic #SexStrike idea, but good luck finding evidence of these allegedly myriad mentions. Also, his claim […]

Guys, Never Do This

Are you a parent? Do you have a teenage son? Have you talked to him about how to deal with girls? Because if boys are not properly instructed, they will turn out to be pathetic losers, like Tyler:   Who does this? Set aside, for the moment, the fact that the guy knew he was […]

Elizabeth Warren Is Over

  Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign is doomed. Anyone can look at the Real Clear Politics average of national polls and see that Warren — currently in third place, with an 8.3% average — is flat-lining. Although two recent polls (Quinnipiac in April and Emerson last week) show her in double digits, the Emerson […]

Crazy People Are Dangerous: #JamesCharlesIsCancelled Edition

  “What were they thinking?” After I stumbled across the story of James Charles, the teenage makeup wizard whose career got torched last week, I was perplexed by the question of why people enabled this adolescent psycho’s bizarre ascent to social-media stardom. Why would CoverGirl sign a 17-year-old boy as the first male “ambassador” for […]

The Championship Mentality

My friend Jeff Quinton is a Clemson fan and, as such, I hate him. Jeff and I became friends online more than 20 years ago, when I was still living in Georgia and he was involved in South Carolina politics. Little did I know, when we connected in those dial-up modem days, that Clemson would […]
