I Think That’s Some Sort Of Bomb Iranian Mix

Well, since John Yoo is on vacation this week or something waterboarding herds of unicorns and John Bolton’s Mustache is busy with trying to adapt drone controls for use by facial hair (hard to fly straight and hit the red button at the same time when you’re only a mustache) to bomb Syria, it’s up [...]

What I learned from The Corner today – An occasional series

Warning: Many links are to Kathryn Jean’s Fluffy Pink Womb of Zygote Love. Kathryn Jean thinks that Mitt Romney is a man of principle because he vetoed a section of legislation which would have required all Massachusetts hospitals, including Catholic ones, to provide emergency contraception to rape victims – or as she puts it: would [...]

Komen-tastrophe: Beating a Dead McHorse [updated]

Downstairs, Zandar linked McMegan’s latest mind-yammerings in The Atlantic, and like some unstoppable idiot, I got out of the boat and read her article. Ostensibly the article is supposed to be a response to Jeffrey Goldberg’s article.  In actuality, it’s her traditional steaming pile of brain-shit. I know it’s been All Komen All Day over [...]

Divorced From Reality

It’s finally happened:  somebody’s managed to penetrate David Brooks’s neutronium denial shield and impress upon him that the American economy isn’t so hot for the proles at the Applebee’s salad bar, and all that manages to come tumbling out is that Both Sides Do It. Democrats claim America is threatened by the financial elite, who [...]

Someone call B. A. Baracus

Rich Lowry at K-Lo’s Christmas Crib of Despair: Speaking of discontent with the Republican field, I talked the other day to a pretty prominent conservative officeholder who’s constantly been discussing with people around the country the possibility of a new entrant or a push to draft someone. But who? One name he mentioned is Bobby [...]

What I learned from The Corner today…

Warning: All links are to Kathryn-Jean’s Bedsit of Solitude. Maggie Gallagher thinks Ron Paul is an evil supporter of gay incest, but she would quite like to be the fourth Mrs Gingrich when Callista gets cancer or wrinkles or otherwise wears out her welcome. Rudolph Giuliani quite likes Newt, because Newt has consistently acted like [...]

The Iowa Debate Comedy Show

In case you had the sense not to watch last night’s debate, you can read my Chirpstory of the live-tweeting snarkathon on my blog. (I can’t post the script here because FYWP that’s why.)

Obsession, Your Obsession

What is it with conservatives and the USPS? George Will: The fact that delivering the mail is one of the very few things the federal government does that the Constitution specifically authorizes (Article I, Section 8: “The Congress shall have power to . . . establish post offices and post roads”) does not mean it must do [...]

Ann Coulter on Cain: “Our Blacks Are Better Than Their Blacks” [updated w/ video]

Annie, are you okay? Ann Coulter is leading the charge in defending Herman Cain from the librul sexual harassment allegations smear job, and hoo boy!  She’s really digging in. Yesterday morning she popped over to Fox News to call the Cain Situation “another high-tech lynching.” (I thought Cain would be the one to make that [...]

He just keeps trolling along

Remember when this blogger was our reside PUMA troll? Any bets on how long before someone claims he (Cain) was dogwhistling to the white racists that “he knows his place” by singing an old negro spiritual? Seriously though, he was dogwhistling – to black Americans. He was reminding the black community that he is one [...]

“Who is the worst science writer?” “Gregg Easterbrook” “Who is second?” “Ah, Your Majesty, there is no second.”*

[Fair warning:  this post is merely the scratching of a pet peeve.  No grand significance here.  You have been warned.] I don’t know why, but I still, more or less as a reflex, skim Gregg Easterbrook’s Tuesday Morning Quarterback column over at ESPN.  (No linky, ‘cause I’m kind—but it’s easy enough to find if you [...]

Real Americans Suffer In Silence

And if you thought Bill Keller’s take on OWS completely missed the point, we have David Brooks making Keller look like Nostradamus. If, in the 1960s, you had tried to judge America by looking at the sit-ins and Woodstock, you would have had a very distorted picture of where the country was heading. You wouldn’t [...]

Witless For The Defense, Your Honor

New guy gets to handle the “I Read These Morons So You Don’t Have To” category, right? And hey, this time it’s easy, it’s really pretty much all there in Bobo’s article title: In Defense of Romney And it goes precisely as you expect it would.

Things that make Grammy laugh and laugh

The following are the results of Hot Air’s Monthly Presidential Candidate Poll Results. If you want to sully your computer with the detailed “polling results”, then you can go over here, but frankly one of us giving them hits is probably more than enough. I spent thirty seconds looking at their front page and feel [...]

Everybody knows the things she does to please

Sometimes it really is just about pissing off liberals: [A] lot of us fell in love with Sarah Palin because of her enemies and a lot of us have fallen out of love with Sarah Palin because of her fans. This RedState piece is a threefer, because also too Ericksson admits he’s frightened by the [...]
