Memo From the National Affairs Desk: Fear, Loathing and Deficient Hygiene

TAMPA, Florida We were cruising down U.S. 301 somewhere south of Hawthorne in the pre-dawn gloom, congratulating ourselves on having made good time on our long drive to the Republican National Convention when we saw a sight that inspired panic in our hearts. There, lurking in the fog beside the highway, were three large deer. Terror […]

Todd Akin Rapes Missouri GOP

The only question is whether it was a “legitimate” rape: Whereas Rasmussen polling showed Romney leading pro-abortion President Barack Obama at the end of July and having Romney leading the race in the Show Me State all year, now Obama has the lead. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Missouri Voters finds President […]

Tampa, Here I Come

Driving to Tampa today, after a restless night haunted by the helpless feeling tbat we are doomed beyond all hope of redemption. Todd Akin had the chance to do the right thing Tuesday, and selfishly refused. Now, with the encouragement and support of Mike Huckabee, Akin is digging deeper the grave in which the Democrat-Media […]

We Are Once Again Reminded Why You Can’t Spell ‘Huckabee’ Without an ‘F’

Going back to 2007, at least, I’ve borne a grudge against Mike Huckabee.

Like the New York Times, But Better

Dan Riehl called me the other day to tell me he was re-launching his site with a design similar to the New York Times. The New RIEHL WORLD VIEW Is Here The new design is impressive, and Dan provides an interesting selection of headlines, including this one: Lesbian Charlie Rogers faked hate crime to advance […]

Lowry to Climate-Change Zealot: Put Your Hockey Stick Where the Sun Don’t Shine

For my money, the funniest thing in National Review editor Rich Lowry’s reply to global-warming guru Michael Mann is this: Is it too much to ask that world-renowned climate scientists spend less time on Facebook? Mann posted a number of enraged Facebook rants because his notorious “hockey stick” graph, projecting a sharp increase in global temperatures caused […]

R-Money, Alpha Male

Kevin Williamson of National Review got all Darwinian about how Mitt Romney is such a dominant beast — a living expression of primal urges — and the funniest thing about it is the reaction (via Memeorandum) from a certain blogger we call Jazzy McPonytail: You’ll never see a clearer depiction of right wing values, and it’s […]
