Hot Air Hires Mary Katharine Ham Too Late to Prevent My ‘SkirtGate’ Debacle
If I had any sense, I would let this news pass without comment, but if I had any sense I never would have started blogging in the first place, eh? An appetite for risk, however, is one of those reckless habits that endear me to my friends, even those friends who fear to associate too […]
Brett Kimberlin: ‘I Want to Be Left Alone’
Brett Kimberlin could have been sentenced to 230 years in federal prison “Brett C. Kimberlin schemed to elude justice with a series of bizarre plots designed to murder, maim and rob his enemies, create havoc . . . and discredit the chief government prosecutor.” — Joe Gelarden, “Kimberlin case a maze of murder, deceit,” Indianapolis […]
Mitt Romney: Scrappy Underdog?
Today I watched Mitt Romney’s speech to the NAACP convention and was impressed that he did not pander. Yes, portions of his speech were aimed specifically at his audience — Romney talked a lot about education reform as a means of promoting opportunity — but for the most part, Mitt gave his standard Republican stump speech, […]

East Coast Opium Kingpin Alex Pareene Writes About ‘Standard-Issue Right-Wing Character Assassination’ of Kimberlin
