Al Gore: If You Disagree With Me About Global Warming … RAAAAACIST!

Could he possibly get more pathetic than this? When Bogusky questioned the analogy, asking if the scientific reasoning behind climate change skeptics might throw a wrench into the good and evil comparison with racism, Gore did not back down. “I think it’s the same where the moral component is concerned and where the facts are […]

In Fairness to Ace …

. . . having decided to side with Pamela Geller in her dispute with Ace over Rick Perry, I am nevertheless obliged to say Pamela struck a low blow in blogging about her allegation that Ace publicly referred to her (offline and in person) as “Atlas Juggs.” Ace strenuously denies this. In general, ladies: Don’t […]

Catastrophic Damage

No, I’m not talking about Hurricane Irene, although the storm has turned cable TV news into an endless, boring hype-a-thon, which I consider catastrophic. Joe Biden went golfing before the storm hit, which I consider about the most useful thing Biden could do in any crisis. Neither am I talking about the catastrophic damage that […]

Storm Center Commander-in-Chief?

So I saw this headline at Memeorandum: Obama takes charge at hurricane command center And my natural reaction is, “Ri-iiiight.” Like he’s being the anti-Bush, scoring some image points by playing against the perception of his predecessor as having bungled Katrina. But what happened in New Orleans in 2005 — a Category 4 storm slamming […]

If you look over in the top right-hand corner of the page, you see where our BlogAds run. Our rates are pretty cheap, and people who have advertised with us say that they were impressed with the results compared to some other sites. I’ve kind of taken the BlogAds for granted in recent months, but […]

Al-Qaeda Leader Atiyah Abd al-Rahman Suffers From Embarrassing Foot Odor and Fatal U.S. Predator Drone Missile Strike

But mainly it was the drone attack: Al-Qaida’s second-in-command, Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, has been killed in Pakistan, delivering another big blow to a terrorist group that the U.S. believes to be on the verge of defeat, U.S. officials said Saturday. The Libyan national had been the network’s operational leader before rising to al-Qaida’s No. 2 […]

Global Warming Kills Florida Surfer UPDATE: Thousands Without Electricity or WiFi; Bloggers Hardest Hit by Storm UPDATE: New York Braces for Irene; Women, Minorites, NFL Fans Hardest Hit

The past couple of days, I became irritated by non-stop TV hurricane hype, which depicted Irene as a cataclysmic danger to the East Coast. However, just because the cable-news hysteria was absurdly disproportionate to the actual threat didn’t mean Irene was harmless: Six people, including an 11-year-old boy and a surfer, were dead and the East […]

‘The Relationship Soured After They Came to Doubt His Reincarnation Credentials’

That weird sentence was buried in a New York Times story about a Twitter “stalking” case involving an intra-Buddhist dispute: Born in Canarsie, Brooklyn, Ms. Zeoli is considered to be a reincarnated master in the Tibetan Buddhist religious tradition, and is known to her followers as Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo. She is an avid Twitter user, […]
