A Post That Is Not About Net Neutrality

At BlogCon Friday, we went to the Newseum in D.C. for a panel discussion that was supposed to be about politics. During the Q&A period, however, it got hijacked into a discussion of The World’s Most Boring Policy Issue. After ten minutes of this narcolepsy-inducing blather, I gestured frantically at Tabitha Hale and got the […]

DaTechGuy Double Dose

by Smitty This blog and DaTechGuy form something of a mutual admiration society. Besides being a thoroughgoing gentleman, he also was also kind enough to opine on Erik Erickson and Matt Kibbe, who opened the BlogCon thoughtful remarks. Erickson had offered an anecdote about a decent neighbor who had been neighborly until discovering that Erik […]

Exclusive Video: Pudding Presentation At BlogCon Humor Panel

by Smitty Guick grab on the phone, sorry about the sound quality. The panel, L-R, was Ace, Snark and Boobs, Iowahawk, and Caleb “FunnyNameGoesHere” Howe. Pudding is a running joke on Ace, which see.

Blog Con: Born to Be Wild

Unlike Stacy, Smitty Needs His Beauty Sleep

by Smitty Thanks, Tabitha! Tom blogs at VA Right, and Tabitha is mostly too busy for such.

No: nobody was weird enough to ask that question. […]

Don’t Tell Tabitha Hale . . .

. . . but despite her efforts to exclude me from Blog Con, I managed to find a way down here with Chris Renner. Here are a few photos of Thursday evening’s reception: Important blogger Stephen Kruiser and Amy Miller of Red State. All the BlogCon ladies love Steve Eggleston of No Runny Eggs. BTW, […]

Megan McArdle, Trapped By Quaint Terminology

by Smitty Insty links Megan using old, tired terms like “seignorage.” The new hotness, quantitative easing, readily obviates the difficulties by doubling the word and syllable count. Also, an opaque and unaccountable Federal Reserve is a handy source of shenanigans to keep that stock market bubble inflated. Let our economy be a triumph of style […]

What Tabitha Hale Said

I had called the Interactive Media Coordinator for FreedomWorks to explain why I wouldn’t be able to attend BlogCon — Where All the Important  Bloggers Will Be — and, although I wasn’t taking notes, the conversation went something like this: TABITHA: Hi, Stacy! I’m sitting here having lunch with some friends of yours. We’re laughing behind your back. ME: Of course you […]
