Holy Freaking Crap: Time Magazine’s GOP 2012 Chart Omits Herman Cain!

Da Tech Guy points out that Time magazine’s resident political “expert” Mark Halperin has a chart giving odds on candidates for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, a chart that completely omits the hands-down winner of the first debate in South Carolina. Halperin also omits Rick Santorum and gives thousand-to-one odds against Michelle Bachmann — and Bachmann, whatever the […]

Dan Collins Loves Kirstie Alley and Generous Tip-Jar Contributions …

. . . but yeah, mainly it’s the generous tip-jar contributions Dan needs now. His Piece of Work in Progress co-blogger Enoch Root explains how serious the situation has become. I’ll explain a bit more of the background — and also explain the Kirstie Alley reference — but first go hit Dan’s tip jar. I […]

Kathy Shaidle Smacks Kirsten Powers

Strangely enough, Kathy smacks Kirsten for a silly quote in that rarity: A Kirsten Powers column I actually agree with. Of course, My Favorite Canadian’s larger complaint is that she doesn’t have her own newspaper column. There is no justice in the world. (Thanks to Mike in Ardmore for the e-mail tip.)

It’s OK To Relax About Osama

Many of us, myself in particular, were repulsed and outraged by the revelation that the US military was forced to bury Osma […]

Ruh-Roh, Rod: Dreher’s Pseudonymous Postings Could Cause Him Big Trouble

Using an online pseudonym is always a dangerous game, and now it is being alleged that former National Review/Dallas Morning Journal writer Rod Dreher has jeopardized his career with pseudonymous posts at a religious blog. A round-up of the story at Est Quod Est blog may leave some readers confused, but it identifies Dreher as […]

Your Irregular Rick Moran Update

You may have asked yourself, “What’s Rick Moran been up to lately?” Or perhaps you’re now asking yourself, “Who the heck is Rick Moran?” Circa 2009, Smitty would occasionally kick Rick around a bit just for fun, but that was then and this is now, and Smitty’s found more lively amusement in Afghanistan lately.
