Arrest of British LulzSec Hacker Renews Questions About Barrett Brown’s Activity

The arrest of a 19-year-old British hacker in connection with criminal “denial of service” attacks by the group known as “LulzSec” has raised new questions about the activities of Barrett Brown, the former self-appointed spokesman for the “Anonymous” hacker collective. The New York Times reports: LONDON — As suspects go, Ryan Cleary did not look […]

The Semi-Smear

“If you agree with him, you think what he does is citizen journalism. If you don’t, his work is little more than crowd-sourced political sabotage that freely distorts the facts.” — Jeremy W. Peters, “The Right’s Blogger Provocateur,” New York Times No need to guess which view of Andrew Breitbart the New York Times endorses. […]

Legalize Fireworks Now!

Maine’s York County Journal Tribune editorializes in support of a pending bill that would legalize consumer fireworks in that state, to which I say not merely yes, but hell, yes! Consumer (1.4G) fireworks are much safer today than in the 1960s, when most state fireworks bans were passed. Back then, the great danger was M-80s […]

Viva, Californication?

Three mommies, no daddy: On a leafy drive in west Los Angeles, at a newly renovated home with cathedral ceilings and a backyard pool, 4-year-old Kate Eisenpresser-Davis’ friends have been known to pose an intriguing question: “Why does Kate have three mommies?” Lisa Eisenpresser, 44, and her partner, Angela Courtin, 38, share custody of Kate […]

Let’s pause first to ask whether anyone did more […]

Ladd’s Ad Gets Results

No, as I report at The American Spectator: Tuesday, the National Republican Congressional Committee debuted a new “Hahn Got Me Out” Web site telling 36th District voters: “Janice Hahn helped steer taxpayer money to support violent, […]

Science Gone Wrong

Instapundit’s enthusiasm for all things scientific leads him to write this headline: MORE WOMEN ARE freezing their eggs to make babies later. Makes sense. Well, excuse me for disagreeing. It is a preposterously stupid idea to encourage women deliberately to postpone first-time motherhood until they are middle-aged, without concern for the obvious arguments against such a decision. For […]

Bob Belvedere Is Nuts

Having previously vowed to have no comment — no comment! — about the former Hillary Clinton intern who is now working in the “adult entertainment industry,” I’m obliged to point out that Bob Belvedere at Camp of the Saints has photos of the woman. Perhaps not the most interesting photos of her, but I repeat: […]
