True/Slant, R.I.P.

Donald Douglas notes the passing of an online venue that published such luminaries as Charles Johnson and Conor Friedersdorf. Dan Riehl blames the “Culture 11” albatross factor. Donald and Dan neglect to mention the most notorious article in True/Slant’s brief history: Rick Ungar’s “Send the Body to Glenn Beck” screed, which blamed the death of a […]

Shirley Sherrod’s Lawsuit Threat Against Andrew Breitbart Is Still Just a Threat

It’s the easiest thing in the world to say, “I’ll sue you for defamation!” Actually filing such a lawsuit is another and far more drastic step. A government official successfully pursuing a defamation suit against a private citizen is quite nearly impossible. Any responsible lawyer would provide three words of helpful advice to Shirley Sherrod: “Discovery’s a bitch.”

What Does The Instapundit Have Against Joe Satriani?

by Smitty “AS LONG AS IT’S NOT ICE IX” says the Instapundit. This blog comes out strongly in defense of the track: Now, granted, it’s not the jazz odyssey seen on Cool #9, but still. . . OK, he was probably alluding to this.

Tim Daniel Makes The Daily Caller Without JournoList Membership
