Syracuse Post-Standard Portrays Buerkle as Supporting ‘Massive Budget Cuts’

Freshman Republican Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle is the most vicious, reckless, wild-eyed budget-slasher in American history, according to the largest newspaper in her district. The editors of the Syracuse paper — evidently picking up the “slash-and-burn” theme used by the New York Times — obviously think their readers are idiots who can’t do math. If […]

What Ace Said

A post he did five days ago just got a huge “Heh” yesterday, and perhaps you see why: On the other hand, goddamn if I am not weary of a barbaric desert nomad culture of rape and outrage while carrying around a ton of chip-on-the-shoulder arrogance-hiding-profound-insecurity about it all. Oh right, a thousand years ago they […]

If This Is Monday, It Must Be Time for Another ‘Death of Blogging’ Story

A few weeks ago, it was “The End of Blogging.” Now the New York Times offers the latest reiteration of this year’s hot meme, “Blogs Wane as the Young Drift to Sites Like Twitter“: Like any aspiring filmmaker, Michael McDonald, a high school senior, used a blog to show off his videos.

I Guess The Real Question Is: ‘Can An Amphibian Like Troglopundit Be Elected’?

by Smitty Hopes of a domestically boring time period while I’m over by the Hindu Kush have proven futile. One would not have picked Wisconsin as the epicenter of the meltdown, but there it is. The teachers jumped the shark, and the Democrats jumped the border. Chicago Boyz point out that, in addition to quirky […]

She Went Down to the Demonstration …

. . . to get her fair share of abuse, but even Ann Althouse can’t always get what she wants. She found a woman holding a sign that said, “Please don’t teabag our children.” (Question: Did that woman have any children of her own?
