The Other McCain

The Hate-Troll Sockpuppet

After a while, you learn to discern the pattern: Not operated by a named person. Not associated with any organization. Lots of hashtags and/or slogans in the profile to signal ideological solidarity. Lack of organic content. Associates with other known trolls. There are other traits — dots in the pattern — but the point is […]

Confirmed: Crazy People Are Dangerous

He was once described as “happy-go-lucky,” but then his father lost an election and his parents divorced and Gus Deeds went nuts: “Eventually it got to the point where everyone… you couldn’t ignore it. It was obvious he was going through a difficult time,” Tony Walters, who has been friends with Gus since they were […]

Conor Friedersdorf’s Grassy Knoll

Conor Friedersdorf is the Lee Harvey Oswald of journalism — an alienated young man consumed by irrational hatred of his own country. Fortunately, the Secret Service need not worry about Friedersdorf purchasing a Mannlicher-Carcano rifle just now. The focus of his manic obsession is not the current president, but his predecessor. Bush Derangement Syndrome — […]

Also, Troll, You Misspelled ‘Syphilis’

Between 5:21 and 5:23 p.m. ET, someone using my name and the bogus e-mail address “[email protected]” posted four insulting comments on an earlier thread, one of which mentioned my 14-year-old son by name.

Our Moral Superiors: @Peter_Turchin’s Career of Selfish Academic Decadence

The Myth of Progress, which imagines history generally as a more or less steady advancement toward enlightenment, is dependent upon our willingness to ignore the possibility of decadence. Are we really more “enlightened” than the Founding Fathers? Do we see, in the general social and cultural trends around us, evidence of our moral and intellectual […]

‘Community Liaison,’ IYKWIMAITYD

Officer Chris Wilson was the Phoenix Police Department’s “community liaison to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community” until August 2012, when he was arrested and charged with having sex with two teenage boys: Officer Christopher J. Wilson, 43 . . . faces 10 felony counts of sexual assault with a 14-year-old and a 17-year-old, […]

Kook Update: Roger Shuler

Crazy people like Roger Shuler have rights, even in Alabama. You may or may not remember Bill Schmalfeldt’s personal hero, Alabama crazy-blogger Roger Shuler, who got locked up last month for contempt of court after publishing unsubstantiated defamation against evil Republicans who (in Roger’s delusional mind) are conspiring with Karl Rove to silence courageous truth-teller […]
