BREAKING: Sheen’s ‘Two and a Half Men’ Contract ‘Terminated’ by Warner Bros.

This just in: “After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen’s services on Two and a Half Men effective immediately.” UPDATE: I had just finished blogging at The American Spectator about the departure of one of Sheen’s “goddesses” — Bree Olson has evidently gone back home to Ft. Wayne, Indiana — when I […]

‘Right-Wing’ Sarah Palin?

A story from the British Daily Mail about a deranged teenager stalking Sarah Palin brought me to a screeching halt in the first sentence: A teenager who sent threatening letters to right-wing US politician Sarah Palin has been arrested in her home state of Alaska. What is it about that phrase, “right-wing,” that obtrudes? It’s […]

Obama’s February Deficit: $233 Billion

That’s $23,000,000,000 of deficit spending in a single month — the shortest month of the year, as Ace notes, calling it “the prelude to hyperinflation.” Ace also reminds us that this one-month deficit is $60 billion more than the entire budget deficit for 2007.

Howard Portnoy at Hot Air Green Room is dubious about this theory, citing Scott Baker at the Beck-sponsored Blaze blog. I don’t watch Beck’s show enough to offer any […]

Moammar Qaddafi, ‘Winning’?

Nobody can decide how to spell his name, and yet Moammar Qaddafi continues to hold on in Libya, while oil jumps past $100 a barrel, endangering The American Way of Life. (Ah, for the good ol’ days, when U.S. foreign policy was outsourced to Halliburton and the Mossad.) Frankly, I expected the Libyan strongman’s regime […]

Echoing Da Tech Guy: Recycling Falsehoods Takes On The Sheen Of Idiocy

by Smitty Da Tech Guy notes yet another regurgitation of slanders against the marquee talent of this blog. Search the archives; Google the topic. He’s fully refuted those tired old slurs numerous times. It is the height of intellectual dishonesty to peddle such scurrilous piffle. glamourdammerung, let us forgive you this foolishness. May God grace […]

Sorry, Charlie

The Trainwreck Called Charlie has taken up entirely too much of my attention lately, but at least I got an American Spectator column out of it: Celebrity psychiatrist Dr. Drew Pinsky described Sheen’s condition as a “psychiatric emergency,” most probably the manic phase of bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression) and requiring hospitalization: “He’s in […]
