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 […]

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 […]

Anatomy of an Online Hoax

Peter Steiner long ago captured perfectly how the online world has abetted deceit: “On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.” Brooks Baynes tells the story of a “a woman who went by the name Jo Von Hollenzollern,” formerly known as @femmepatriot on Twitter, who insinuated herself among online Tea Party activists and seems to have […]

‘I Feel Like I Just Found Out I’ve Been Living on the Moon’

So says a progressive feminist, in agreeing with Ace of Spades’ take on the Julian Assange rape accusations, as described in an Australian newspaper account: She says they had consensual sex but she woke up the next morning to find him having intercourse with her to which she had not consented. When she asked him if he […]

Jonah Goldberg Is Wrong

Goldberg celebrates the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell as a step toward the “rise of the gay bourgeoisie.” But what is happening is not the bourgeoisification of radicalism; rather, it’s the radicalization of the bourgeoisie. If the American middle-class adopts more and more the radical-egalitarian worldview of the Left, this cannot be sold as […]
