Evolution, Anthropogenic Global Warming and Other Non-Falsifiable Theories
Michael Walsh at Big Journalism takes on MSNBC’s bizarre claim that the D.C. blizzard proves that climate-change skeptics are wrong: MSNBC apparently borrowed their talking points from the New York Times which, as Walsh notes, invoked the authority of “most climate scientists” for the assertion that climate change caused the massive snowstorm. Even before we learned of the […]
Anne Hathaway Quits Catholic Church After Pope Condemns Sideboob Display
Wait, no — that’s not exactly the reason: Anne grew up wanting to become a nun but shunned Catholicism when she learned her older brother, Michael, was gay. “The whole family converted to Episcopalianism after my elder brother came out,” she tells the magazine. “Why should I support an organization that has a limited view […]
It’s Who You Know
Alexandra Penney calls herself an artist: I take pictures of blowup dolls, and I use them as ciphers to comment on society, about sex and consumerism, to comment about artifice and superficiality. Alexandra Penney used to be editor of Self magazine. She is the author of How to Make Love to a Man. (Apparently, some people […]

by Smitty Valley of the Shadow puts this blog in company with Instapudit, Gateway Pundit, and Atlas Shrugs in “The Four Horsemen of the Ablogalypse: 2010 Version”. It would be tedious to say anything other than “thank you”. However, it would be silly not to note that you need a micrometer to measure the distance […]
OK, I Found The Moderate Part
by Smitty There is moderation, and I’ve emphasized it. However, using the word ‘unprecedented’ in the same participle made my shizzle fizzle. But this is just one post; we should look at a substantial sample space, and let the conclusions form themselves. This is part of the effort to help these poor folks recall what […]
Jim Treacher, Goldbricking Again
Goofing off. Slacking. Like a “broken tibia” is some kind of excuse or something . . . Welcome to Washington, Treacher. This is the big leagues, OK? You’ve got to learn to play with pain. Would Bob Novak let a minor thing like a fractured tibia keep him away from the office? Hell no. If you can’t handle getting run over […]
The Off-Beat Observations Of Jeff G.
by Smitty The Onanny State: That progressivism…keeps failing as it runs into the realities of the market…seems never to trouble those like Surber; in fact, their idea of intellectualism, inasmuch as it brackets actual data in favor of privileging political and social desire, is not really intellectualism at all.
