Go Ahead, Blame Me

Ed Morrissey informs us that Tina Korbe is leaving Hot Air to take a job at the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs, and I’m sure some people will find some way to say this is somehow my fault. As I explained in February when people were screaming for my scalp: I’ve always liked Tina, had often linked […]

Drip, Drip, Drip: ‘Mormon Mitt’ Meme Keeps Popping Up in Mainstream Media

OK, maybe it’s stretching the definition of “mainstream” to include the Daily Beast and MSNBC, but the predicted eruptions of the “Mormon Mitt” meme keep occurring with increasing frequency. Notice how Newsweek/Daily Beast reporter Ben Jacobs hands a cue to Montana’s Democrat Gov. Brian Schweitzer: While discussing swing states, Schweitzer said Romney would have a […]

Roxanne Doesn’t Have To Turn On The Red Lights. She Does Anyway; Dad Didn’t Teach Her Otherwise

by Smitty No, I don’t mean Roxeanne de Luca specifically. Or prostitution in the Secret Service sense. I mean, emphasis mine: Now, let’s cut through the drivel: play-acting at being married with someone to whom you have not committed will delay that commitment, or finding the person you really want to commit to. Acting like […]

When Blog Wars Go Bad

Frequent commenter T.R. sent me this item: Lehigh Valley blogger Bernie O’Hare is making good on a promise to sue a woman who sought a restraining order against him last week. O’Hare filed a defamation suit against Tricia Mezzacappa, of West Easton, in Northampton County Court on Monday afternoon. He is seeking more than $50,000 […]

At Least Daily Pundit Gets It

by Smitty Quick shaves my point on racism a little more finely. I’m OK with that: Nobody actually cares about racism in America. As compared to much of the world, racism simply isn’t a major factor here. Cultural problems based on race and ethnicity do exist, but racism itself is not a real problem in […]

Warning: No Betas Need Apply

At CPAC 2012, Gabby and Christine were digging the manly men. Is Gabby Hoffman the world’s hottest young blogger, or what? Her essay on manliness was not only linked here, but was also linked in the AOSHQ Overnight Thread and even got the coveted Instalanche. Bloggers young and old must envy such precocious success. How many college […]

He’s Not the Jack of Spades

Ace of Spades gets uncomfortable when I praise him too enthusiastically, or maybe he’s just doing that aw-shucks-’tweren’t-nuthin’ humble thing. Being a natural-born extrovert myself, I have no problem with praise, of which I think I get far too little, mainly because people don’t enjoy praising such an obvious egomaniacal showoff. A deficit of praise, […]

Helping Instapundit See The Sense In What We’re Doing Right Now

by Smitty Current U.S. policy comes into sharp focus if you presume that the intent is economic slavery for all. Instapundit points to the WaPoo, where Sheila Bair is on about loaning $10 Million to everybody as a means of ‘fixing’ income inequality. Sweet, sweet fascism: taking your Creator-granted liberty, packaging it, and returning it […]
