Blog Con: Born to Be Wild

Tabitha Hale likes to ride the big hogs. And also enjoys motorcycles. Ace of Spades, Lori “Snark and Boobs” Ziganto, Dave “Iowahawk” Burge and Caleb “Don’t Have a Nickname” Howe on the afternoon “Humor in Blogging” panel discussion, which was a lot funnier than this photo might suggest. Matt Kibbe explains Friedrich Hayek’s Austrian theory […]

Unlike Stacy, Smitty Needs His Beauty Sleep

by Smitty Thanks, Tabitha! Tom blogs at VA Right, and Tabitha is mostly too busy for such. Last night’s reception at the Crystal City Sheraton answered the question: if bloggers were Trekkies, would Scott Ott be Spock, Stephen Green be McCoy, and Bill Whittle be Kirk?

Ace Is Absolutely Killing

And here he makes an analogy so brilliant I’m ashamed I didn’t think of it myself. Having been endlessly lectured by our enlightened betters about the need to be […]

Ground Zero Mosque As An Election Issue

by Smitty (h/t Libertarian Republican) John Gomez floats the obvious question: He has Sarah Palin’s endorsement. I’m all for seeing ecumenical centers at all sorts of hallowed sites, like Mecca, Medina, and Ground Zero. Because if ‘tolerance’ and ‘sensitivity’ are not omni-directional, then they may just be cheap talking points proffered by the nefarious. On […]
