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!

On Nov. 25, I warned that Thanksgiving marks the onset of Holiday Traffic Suckage Season, when traffic to blogs plummets. Although this dread season in the blogospheric calendar doesn’t officially end until Monday — when people are once more stuck back in their office cubicles, pretending to work while surfing the ‘Net — yet the […]

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 […]

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 […]

The Virtue of Virtue

“Cripes, Dominic, I’ve never seen anything like it. Let me tell you something — if you want a good Catholic girl, that Mary is the one. She wouldn’t let me get anywhere with her.” So said Da Tech Guy’s Uncle Sam, a real ladies’ man, in 1943 after he made a play for young Mary […]

Julian Assange, Libertarian ‘Reactionary’?

Donald Douglas has another link-heavy roundup about the Julian Assange rape case, including a link to leftist blogger Bill Weinberg’s post called, “Enough with the Julian Assange hero worship”: The most blatantly irritating thing is abject demonization of the women who have made the charges of sexual abuse against Assange. In any other context, the summary […]
