Progressives Disparage Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg as ‘Billionaire Jew’?

The Left wanted Julian Assange of WikiLeaks as Time‘s “Person of the Year,” but the editors chose Zuckerberg instead. Donald Douglas at American Power blogs about the collective fury of the Left over this choice. Professor Douglas links a woman blogger’s headline: “Nice Jewish Billionaire Boy Chosen Over Assange.” But reading her “about” page, Elaine Meinel Supkis seems to […]

You May Have Noticed . . .

. . . I didn’t do a post about Elizabeth Edwards dying of cancer last week. Or maybe you didn’t notice. Famous people die every day, and I seldom comment for good or ill. Donald Douglas commented on Elizabeth Edwards’s death — and generated 133 comments, including a lot of the “hurry up and die […]

Barrett Brown’s Lawyer Sends Me an Email Threatening ‘Legal Proceedings’

Yesterday, I noted that Barrett Brown had threatened a libel suit in response to my post, “Narcissism, Isolation and Trolls.” The first thing to remember about such a situation is that the threat of a lawsuit is just that — a threat.

Blogger Gets 2 Million Hits Because of His Insightful Commentary and Lucy Pinder’s Enormous Breasts, But Mainly . . .

Congratulations to Professor Donald Douglas of American Power for his successful implementation of The Rules. UPDATE: In case […]

At the turn of the century, however, preachments on success began to stress the will to win. The bureaucratization of the corporate career changed the conditions of self-advancement; ambitious young […]

World Shocked by the Alarming Urgency of Jennifer Aniston Mexico Bikini Pictures

They tried to warn us, but their warnings were in vain. After all, who could have imagined it? It transcended in magnitude anything mankind had ever known. Nothing in all previous human history could have prepared us for the sight of Jennifer Aniston in a purple bikini. UPDATE: “Clearly I have much to learn.” Yeah. […]

You Must Be Having Me On. Oh, Wait: We’re Talking About The Left

by Smitty Via Da Tech Guy, the DC Examiner reports that the Rally to Restore Sanity/March to Keep Fear Alive is really more about the latter than the former. Now, I have better things to do that waste my time on Commode-y Central’s sad little gathering of paid stooges. For an example of filming at […]

Beware of Polls!

I get tired of saying this, but we can’t let polls do our thinking for us. A Los Angeles Times poll appears to have oversampled Democrats, as Professor Donald Douglas explains at American Power. Disinformation is the new objectivity.
