In Which I Confess To Accepting Blogger Payola

by Smitty I’ve bared my wallet on Twitter: It’s true. I’m a sellout. I can only hope to achieve a sufficient depth of pathos to get a job offer after the November election blows out half of DC. Then we’ll see who is begging for vanilla pudding money, you pathetic little CRAFT POST LINKERS!!! Update: […]

Bumped: Philanthropic Outlets

by Smitty As the son of a son of a sailor, I cannot fail to link Dan Riehl’s USS Ranger post. It looks like they’re mooring her on the Columbia River, East of Portland, AFAICT. The store link features a vampire novel for that goth in your life. I opted for PayPal. Switching from the […]

Catholic history indicates a different picture. According to our records, things […]

‘And the War, Tragically, Continues’

Frank Rich’s latest idiotic idea is that Fox News coverage of the Ground Zero Mosque controversy has thwarted U.S. anti-insurgency efforts in Afghanistan. No, seriously.
