The Other McCain

Despite Re-Tweet by Alyssa Milano, Mickey Kaus Still Senate ‘Long Shot’

Ever since Alyssa re-Tweeted him Oct. 28, Mickey Kaus has been the envy of bloggers everywhere (or at least, bloggers around here). However, that kind of New Media energy — dude, she’s got more than 830,000 followers — has not yet developed into an electoral tsunami: In a year when Tea Party activists and the GOP […]

Almost as Good as ‘Epistemic Closure’

That Atlantic piece about Ricochet has set off a very interesting blog discussion about what it is conservatives should be doing with New Media. All we need now is for Julian Sanchez to weigh in, get Glenn Greenwald and David Frum involved, and we’ll have another pointless month-long time-waster. While we await the onset of Sanchezistic discourse, […]

‘Fun, Light-hearted and Accessible’ Is OK, But How About Winning Elections?

My first reaction to the Ricochet story was admittedly idiosyncratic, whereas Dan Riehl takes a more practical view: It’s a complex topic, but the Left tends to use new media tactically to generate specific results and win elections, not just nationally – but in states and districts, as well. OTOH some on the Right seem focused on […]

Coolest. Swag. Evah!

Something special for someone special: Here’s the design featured on the mug: That first mug is just a sample, and I’ve placed an initial order for six dozen. Let me emphasize that no one can buy these mugs. These are gifts — just a small token of our appreciation for the readers who have contributed […]

‘The Stepchild of Culture 11?’

This is becoming a familiar pattern for conservatives who want to waste a double buttload of cash: Create a new Web site; Promise something innovative and different; and Most of all, don’t call Stacy McCain. Because I don’t anything about “making conservatism fun, light-hearted and accessible.”

Self-Portrait Of A Blog Writing Its
Own Post

by Smitty In the attempt to be cool like the Instapundit, I was off to see the vampire today for my octofortnightly* donation on the apherisis machine. The Inspiron Mini proves its worth yet again. With the 6-cell battery pack, it represents a great tradeoff between form factor, horsepower, and endurance. The trackpad exhibits some […]

BREAKING: Terrorism Angle in Massachusetts ‘Immigration’ Raids; BUMPED: ‘Very Quiet Neighborhood’; UPDATE: Mohammad Bakht Zameen; UPDATE: ‘They Paid the Rent on Time’

12:08 p.m. ET: DaTechGuy on the scene reports by phone: The boarding house where the suspects were arrested is “next door to public housing” in an “ethnically mixed neighborhood.” Residents describe it as “a very quiet neighborhood” where “nothing ever happens — until today.” UPDATE 12:20 p.m. ET: New England Cable News names Mohammad Bakht […]

Wishing AllahPundit Could Be Less Gushing

by Smitty AllahPundit is entirely too optimistic about YouCut. Not everybody shares your passion for auto-budgetary-circumcision, man. Eric Cantor is also just a bit too happy about “Putting Uncle Sam on a diet.” But let’s consider: The notion that individual citizens can take an active roll in budgetary decisions is worth fostering. As long as […]
