A Rhetorical Question, We Presume

“Isn’t It Time To Euthanize Reid’s Wife?”  Dan Riehl certainly knows how to provoke Alan Colmes to paroxysms of self-righteous indignation — a praiseworthy project in itself, quite apart from getting written up by the thought-police at Media Matters. Speaking of euthanization, we earlier mentioned the March 16 Stop ObamaCare 2.0 event in D.C., which aims to put a […]

Rep. Pelosi Offers A Quote That Shall Live In Infamy

by Smitty Tabitha Hale brings you the video: Ace had an excellent riff: In fairness, she’s quoting from the Federalist Papers, which spoke eloquently of “passing some laws so we can find out what great shit’s in them, and stuff.” Pretty sure that was John Jay. Let’s channel a actual Founding Father, then. Alexander Hamilton: […]

On Any Top Ten List of ‘Really Bad Ideas for Blog Post Titles’ . .

 . . . I’d say “Dan Riehl Sucks“ has got to be at least No. 3. And when you call Dan a “Little Green Footballs wannabe” . . . Dude. John Doe at Smashmouth Politics objected to Dan’s criticism of Glenn Beck. Hey, it’s a free country, and people disagree.  But having worked with Dan on a few projects, […]

Adam Gadahn Can Look Forward To Excruciating Torment

by Smitty Dan Riehl notes of the recent acquisition in Karachi: I also wish he were being interrogated under the Bush administration, as opposed to the current one. This blog has obtained some hush-hush footage of the new interrogation methods to be used by the Administration’s elite interrogation outfit, code name: Redwater. In our endless […]

Post-Mortem: CSI Illinois

Dan Riehl says he doesn’t want to engage in hindsight recriminations over the Illinois gubernatorial campaign. As I explained at The American Spectator in the wee hours this morning, the evident narrow victory for state Sen. Bill Brady appears to be a less-bad outcome for conservatives, however disappointing it may be for Adam Andrzejewski’s Tea Party supporters. […]

Oh, Boy! Dead Terrorists!

Dan Riehl alerts us to the happy news that a Taliban leader has become the only kind of good jihadi: Hakimullah Mehsud died of injuries sustained in an air strike in North Waziristan earlier this month, Pakistan’s state television claimed. The state broadcaster also said the leader had been buried in the Pakistani Taliban-controlled area […]

Little Green Footballs and the ‘Cult of Personality’ Factor in Blogging

Everybody’s now blogging about the New York Times profile of Charles Johnson. Rather than extend the previous post, I’ll collect the reactions in a new post. This aggregation will be extended and updated until it’s time to deliver The Final Wisdom: One of the more amusing carom-shots of the LGF meltdown is Barrett Brown’s proposal for a […]

Conor and Andy Want Some Pudding

“It is particularly amusing to see folks call the outcome stunning in one breath and aver in the next that they can explain why it happened mere hours after the fact, without any new data save the result. This is especially grating when it’s so obvious that the election turned on all the issues that […]
