Asking the Important Questions: Why Does Gillian Anderson Want Me to Blog About Her Teenage Lesbian Affairs?

Yes, it’s been a week since my last Instalanche and, while I sincerely doubt that Professor Glenn Reynolds would want to encourage such absolutely shameless link-baiting, I’m otherwise mystified as to why any attractive celebrity would make this kind of confession: Gillian Anderson, the actress best known for playing agent Dana Scully on ”The X-Files,” has admitted […]

I’VE BEEN BLINDED BY HATE!

So says Bill Quick at Daily Pundit, who says I’m “spouting arrant hooey” in observing that Newt Gingrich’s campaign is doomed. Quick says my “visceral hatred of Gingrich” accounts for my hooey. Even if accurate, this accusation completely misses the relevant point that Newt’s campaign faces financial ruin after Tuesday’s double defeats in Mississippi and Alabama. […]

Andrew Sullivan Should Be Deported, Not Invited to White House State Dinners

Let me set this up by telling you a story: My 13-year-old son Jefferson accompanied me to South Carolina in January.

“When Celebrities Attack,” starring Jason Mattera: Ed Morrissey has a point: Even if you think “ambush” interviews are unfair, shouldn’t it be obvious that attacking the camera is a bad idea? Welcome to the Bob Etheridge School of Media Relations!  

If BBH Labs Was Employing The Homeless To Register Voters Or As ‘Sex Workers’, Would It Be OK?

by Smitty I need a little help understanding where BBH went wrong. You’re a company, you see a market, you hire some people (jobs!) and then you get a bunch of blowback? You’re paying a wage to unskilled people to be wireless hotspots. Unless there is some medical objection (and maybe constant exposure to that […]

We Need To Nail This Down Before Somebody Wants To Name Her After #OccupyResoluteDesk

by Smitty Via Insty and NRO, a petition to keep the name USS Enterprise in commission, rather than have various other news- or sympathy-worthy figures move in. The Ruling Class would prefer you to lose all sense of history, and live in a ‘managed’ present tense. Resist we much.

Two Worthy Bloggers

by Smitty While we’ve supported Zilla of the Resistance, we’ve not yet blogged her painful situation: I have been doing research and have learned that many doctors who specialize in treatment of Late Stage Lyme operate on a cash only business to avoid some of the nasty red tape and big nanny state f–kery which […]
