A Pansy-Assed Apology: ‘You Christians Are Too Christian, and Not Gay Enough’

Over the weekend, Dan Savage’s attack on Christianity became an online sensation — strange, how these coincidences happen — to the point that he felt obliged to issue an apology for a dishonest new defense of his hateful bigotry: Because the Bible says things Dan Savage doesn’t like, you must reject God and obey Dan […]

When Trolls Attack: Marcusean Mob Gets @ChrisLoesch Bounced from Twitter

“Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right and toleration of movements from the Left.” — Herbert Marcuse, “Repressive Tolerance,” 1965 Sunday night, I was a guest on “BlogMock Radio,” the weekly online podcast hosted by Blogmocracy and Diary of Daedalus, and a caller asked, “Did you hear what happened to Chris […]

Everybody Keeps Getting a Busy Signal at the Blogger Burnout Hotline Nowadays

Professor William Jacobson laments Don Surber’s recent decision to quit blogging. It is probably just a coincidence that Don, one of the most valuable members of the conservative blogosphere since 2005, was never invited to speak at BlogCon. Instapundit grimly holds on.

Granted, this could be a very long post, but I just happened to notice Dan blathering on about some artsy New Wave poseurs and felt a need to point out the Neutral Objective Fact that no genuinely great rock and roll music was recorded after Sept. 25, 1980, the day John Bonham died. How awesome was Led Zeppelin? For the […]

It’s ‘Fundamentally Unfair’ That Instapundit Has More Blog Traffic!

If that complaint seems absurd, how about the complaint made by Ann Curry on NBC’s Today Show? “You know, it’s about those with money having an easier life than those who don’t. And there’s something fundamentally unfair about that. Because not everyone has access to being able to get money, to work for money.” “Fairness,” […]

The World’s Youngest Blogger Nearly Makes ‘Day By Day’

by Smitty Got an email from Muir the other day. Having supported Day By Day, it was time to suggest a strip theme involving Skye. So I suggested that Chris do something with this photo, and it provides the background for the first panel, where Kiko breaks a plate. Click the image to view the […]
