‘Random Tragedy’ Not So Random: Socialist Serial Killer Amy Bishop

“It’s always baffling to me when people try to politicize random tragedies — usually while they’re breaking news stories with little real information.” — James Joyner, Outside the Beltway Joyner is (a) from Alabama and (b) has a Ph.D., and I’m sorry if that caused anyone’s head to explode — “An intellectual? From Alabama?” — […]

Obviously, the Solution to Our Nation’s Most Pressing Problems Is . . .

. . . more Ann Hathaway boobies. That seems to be the agenda at Classic Liberal, at least, and who are we to argue? Even though Anne’s breasts have ceased to be Catholic, they nevertheless continue to exercise a miraculous influence: Some contend that Anne Hathaway’s splendid rack was responsible for the record blizzard that […]

Instapundit Interviews Les Phillip

This was sort of a carom shot of my Alabama trip. My Monday American Spectator column included two paragraphs about Les Phillip, who is running for Congress in Alabama’s 5th District. Friday night, after the state GOP meeting in Montgomery, Ali Akbar and I hung out with Phillip — who smokes cigars — on the veranda […]

Keith Olbermann Once Again Displays His Astonishing Lack of Self-Awareness

He begins by chastising Rush Limbaugh for having a huge ego — never mind that Rush’s audience on is at least 20 times as big as Olbermann’s, or that Olbermann is a 24K-gold-plated narcissist — and ends by predicting that Michelle Malkin will die in obscurity: Olbermann’s career is one of the most spectacular failures […]

Conor Friedersdorf Is Not Adolf Eichmann

Let’s just clear up that little misunderstanding right away, OK? To my knowledge, I have never asserted that Friedersdorf was an SS-Obersturmbannführer, nor even that he aspired to such a position. Why Conor is acting so defensive — “Who me? I’m Riccardo Klement, an innocent Argentine technician!” — I’m not quite sure: Suffice it to […]

Alabama Apocalypse: Tim James, Bradley Byrne and Quin’s Vow of Revenge

My American Spectator article today: Tim James was Tea Party before Tea Party was cool. Before the federal bailouts, before most Americans had heard of Barack Obama, before Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck became household names, James helped lead the 2003 effort to stop a tax increase proposed by Alabama’s Republican Gov. Bob Riley. The […]

Evolution, Anthropogenic Global Warming and Other Non-Falsifiable Theories

Michael Walsh at Big Journalism takes on MSNBC’s bizarre claim that the D.C. blizzard proves that climate-change skeptics are wrong: MSNBC apparently borrowed their talking points from the New York Times which, as Walsh notes, invoked the authority of “most climate scientists” for the assertion that climate change caused the massive snowstorm.
