"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

VIDEO: ‘Merry Christmas, Everybody!’

From our family to yours: That sweet little girl? Her name is Reagan and as of today — Monday, Dec. 6 — she is 8 years old. Yeah, it’s her birthday. If that doesn’t inspire you to hit the tip jar, I don’t know what ever will. Perhaps the threat of a lawsuit?

Smell the Glove, America!

Professor Glenn Reynolds nails it: Nigel Tufnel, many will remember, was the fictitious heavy metal guitarist in the fictional “rockumentary” “This Is Spinal Tap.” In a classic scene, he displays his guitar collection and his special amplifier that — unlike all other amplifiers in existence — has knobs that go all the way up to […]

Barrett Brown’s Lawyer Sends Me an Email Threatening ‘Legal Proceedings’

Yesterday, I noted that Barrett Brown had threatened a libel suit in response to my post, “Narcissism, Isolation and Trolls.” The first thing to remember about such a situation is that the threat of a lawsuit is just that — a threat. And this is true even after someone gets a lawyer to send you […]

Helen Thomas: Blood on Her Hands

Allen West: DADT Debate ‘Crazy’

Video interview with Newsmax: “The mission of the United States military is not to accommodate behavior, and definitely not to accommodate sexual behavior. But right now, what is most important for us to be talking about? “In this past week, we had the Taliban infiltrate a gentlemen into the Afghan security forces who shot six […]

You Should Be Ashamed of Yourself

What kind of misogynistic pervert would collect seven women, dress them in nothing but lacy underwear, call them the “Cup Size Choir” — labeled A through G — and then compel them to sing “Deck the Halls” in order to create a video commercial for La Senza™ lingerie? What sort of blogger would post that […]

Sexist Racist Hate Group Exposed

Yeah, I’m talking about al-Qaeda: Back in 1949, Sayyid Qutb, the ideological father of al-Qaeda, spent the better part of the year studying education in Greely, Colorado. Greely, at the time, was the kind of town you’d expect neo-fundamentalists to approve of: its puritanical city government, notably, had outlawed booze. But it wasn’t conservative enough […]
