2010: The Year of Pamela Geller
Several readers have contacted CPAC director Lisa DePasquale to nominate me as “Blogger of the Year” and, of course, I’m flattered. What are the chances I’ll actually win? Not bloody likely, but even if I were somehow to win the award, the first sentence of my acceptance speech would have to be, “Pamela Geller got robbed.” […]
‘Break into a Prevent Defense for the Second Half and Try to Preserve a Tie’
That’s how Dan Collins at Piece of Work in Progress describes Eric Holder’s strategy for dealing with the incoming Republican majority in the House: Despite the fact that the New Black Panthers were captured on video with weapons and fascist-style uniforms at the entrance to a polling place, Holder said: “There is no there, there.” […]
Skepticism Is for ‘Rubes’
Really intelligent people, you see, believe whatever they’re told by the experts: In Charles Johnson’s mind, skepticism toward environmental catastrophism is “anti-science rubbish” and the fact that such an article appears on Fox News just proves that only “rubes” are skeptics: [Fox News reporter Maxim] Lott is trying to denigrate the reliability of climate science, […]
Good-Bye, Holiday Traffic Suckage Season, Hello Happy New Year!

VIDEO: Dueling A**holes
OK, everybody knows there’s no love lost between me and Barrett Brown. But even I must admit that the boy has just entered the realm of YouTube legend. The setup: Brown’s bohemian lifestyle is getting on the nerves of his girlfriend’s roommate, a guy who has a real job as a Web designer and is angry […]
My 2011 Prediction
This is the time of year when people do “Year in Review” roundups and make predictions for the coming year. Some people do those “Top 10”-style lists, but the work-to-reward ratio on that stuff is way too high for me. If I wanted to work that hard, I wouldn’t be a blogger. So I decided […]
She’s More Catholic Than the Pope
Lisa Graas wants to update the “about” page on her blog, and is looking for commendations from other bloggers, so there’s mine. Lisa always kids me about the fact that among the top referrers to her blog, it’s a bunch of hardcore Catholics and me. Being a pro-life Protestant (and father of six) probably explains that. […]
New Year’s 2011 Resolution
I gotta get my crazy wingnut mojo back. Not only did I fail to get a Malkin Award nomination this year, but I failed to make it onto the Village Voice‘s list of “10 Best Rightblogger Rants of 2010.” Professor Glenn Reynolds made both lists. When I’m getting out-wingnutted by a Yale Law graduate, obviously my mojo is […]
