FLASHBACK: Breitbart to Blumenthal: ‘You’re a Despicable Human Being’

Following up on the Mona Eltahawy meltdown, Donald Douglas is celebrating the 4th of July fireworks and I promised I’d dig up video of Andrew Breitbart’s epic shaming of Max Blumenthal at CPAC. Yeah, Andrew nailed Max for all time in 2010: “You’re ridiculous. You are a joke. You’re a despicable human being. You are […]

From West Virginia To Wroclaw

— by Wombat-socho This week’s book post unfortunately has nothing to do with Gettysburg or Independence Day (because all my relevant books are in storage), though I do recommend that you pick up Michael Shaara’s The Killer Angels if you haven’t already read it; Gingrich and Forstchen’s Gettysburg is also worth reading (along with its […]

Rick-Rolled by HuffPost

You might think that a professional journalist would be completely immune to cheap marketing tactics, but occasionally even I fall for it. Backstory: Last year some evil troll decided to sign me up for every single news feed at the Huffington Post. As a result, I probably get 30 or 40 different e-mail pitches a […]

Selling Out Early To Avoid The Rush

— by Wombat-socho Ripped from the pages of this morning’s Memeorandum, we have this piece of half-witted blogging by Professor Bainbridge, in which he masks a none-too-clever slam at Sarah Palin and Mark Levin with a reference to an entirely too long and (toward the end) insanely boring alternate history series by Harry Turtledove. Look, […]

Glenn Greenwald Is a Ridiculous Joke (And Alas, the Internet Never Forgets)

“DomMascHry31”? Really? I always figured @ggreenwald as more the "SmoothLooseBottom" type … http://t.co/lZ1zf5SOs9 #tcot — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) June 27, 2013 Ali Akbar called and I had to tell him about the infamous — indeed, epic — nay, world-historic — exposure of Glenn Greenwald’s sockpuppetry back in 2006. Many people currently active in conservative […]

Speaking of Kooks …

Glory days: Barrett Brown interviewed by Michael Isikoff, 2011 “A self-described anarchist, [Barrett] Brown claims he’s policing wrongdoing, at least as Anonymous describes it. . . . “[Brown said:] ‘When we break laws, we do so in service of civil disobedience.’” — NBC Nightly News, March 8, 2011 Dan Collins seems envious of my success […]

‘It’s Tough to Be a Man, Baby!’

The title line from the unfortunately forgotten 1983 comedy D.C. Cab came to mind today when I encountered yet another reaction to the controversial new bestseller by Dr. Helen Smith, Men on Strike: Why Men are Boycotting Marriage, Fatherhood, and the American Dream–and Why it Matters. It seems that everyone has an opinion on this […]

@TedCruz & The Broken Immigration Record: Heard This Bef–Heard This Bef–

by Smitty Senator Cruz at Red State: On Monday at 5:30pm, the United States Senate will vote on the most sweeping immigration reform proposal it has considered in almost 3 decades – and it will do so having only seen the nearly 1200 pages of text for approximately 72 hours. Americans – including myself, my […]
