‘Through a Plate Glass Window’: How Liberal Media De-Legitimize Dissent

Patterico did a post yesterday about the “Accuse the Accusers” strategy that I meant to link and discuss at length, but I didn’t get around to it because new outrages were piling up quicker than I could keep track. In just the past couple of days: Stephen Crowder got sucker-punched in the head by Michigan […]

The Neitzschean Existential Angst of Blogging in the Same Sphere as Ace

BTW, in case you didn’t know it, @joenbc hates conservative talk-radio with the heat of ten thousand suns. — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) December 10, 2012 OK, the pretentious title is both: An anti-intellectual mockery of show-offs who throw around terms like “existential angst”; and An honest admission of inner doubts about my own relevance, […]

GALLUP: ROMNEY 52, OBAMA 45 — Let the Great 2012 Liberal Freak-Out Begin!

They convinced themselves that Obama “won” Tuesday’s debate, but Romney actually gains in the first Gallup national tracking poll with post-debate reaction? Oh, boy. UPDATE: Ace explains what happened:  The debate was not a victory for Obama. It was a confirmation of Romney’s acceptability, plausibility, and fitness for office. Yesterday, Sully admitted he had been “on […]

What Hath Daily Caller Wrought?

Slept late today because I figure I’ll be up late writing about tonight’s debate, and I didn’t participate in the Drudge-induced hype over yesterday’s Daily Caller/Sean Hannity release of a 2007 video, e.g., Allahpundit: It’s the talk of Twitter and of our comment threads, so here’s a dedicated post to let your imaginations run wild. […]

Federal Law? What Federal Law?

Ace gave this the Flaming Skull™ and pinned it to the top of his blog: There is a federal law that requires employers to give advance notice of layoffs. Because of Obama’s massive deficits, defense contractors will have to lay off tens of thousands of employees. Obama convinced Lockheed Martin to delay the layoff notification until […]

@DaveWeigel Nearly Discovers Capitalism, Shrugs It Off As ‘Trolling’

by Smitty Ace seems kinda irritated with Weigel’s Slate piece about “How a small band of conservatives generated half of the Democratic Convention’s headlines”. Weigel goes on at length about another friend of this blog, the mighty YidWithLid: Democrats did not expect to spend Wednesday arguing about the capital of Israel and the appearance of […]

Racism Industrial Complex Training Film: “Bob Is A Racist”

by Smitty This country in general, and this blog in particular, cannot stop in its relentless quest for ‘fairness’, and a raaaaacism-free country. Sadly, it appears that Bob Belvedere has been outed as a raaaaacist by the Solipsist Piffle Legal CanYouNameTerrorists (SPLC): Next up on the list to be outed, apparently, are Troglopundit and American […]

‘It Was the Cake That Got You Dead’

Back when I was working at the Washington Times, I’d log onto Ace of Spades and say to myself, “That’s what I want to do.” Because Ace and his merry band of Morons had fun. Anyway, four years into this thing, I’m still trying to have as much fun as Ace. Blogging doesn’t have to be — […]
