Reply to Rick Moran

Dan Riehl breaks his vow never to pimp-slap Rick again. Me? I’m just kind of at a lost for words at Rick’s description of “an identifiable tea party establishment . . . a self identified elite who are more interested in maintaining their position at the top of the tea party ziggurat than in stopping the […]

In Desperate Effort to End Flame War Between Allahpundit and Dan Riehl, Former Playboy Model Karissa Shannon and Boyfriend Agree to Release Sex Video

Blessed are the peacemakers, who figure they might as well cash in on their D-list notoriety: Sources close to the couple tell us they both agreed to a deal with Vivid Entertainment when the offer hit the “six-figure range.” What? You wanted pictures?

A Short List . . .

. . . of Astoundingly Stupid Things No Conservative Blogger in His Right Mind Would Ever Even Think About Doing: Publish posts conflating “neocons” and “Jews” in such a way as to provoke accusations of anti-Semitism. Respond to such accusations by publishing deranged rants against Jews. Get into hateful public pissing matches with Ace of […]

Delaware Fever: Catch It!

Bloggers Surprised GOP Under-reacting To Unproven Tea Party Commitment To Long-Term Agend– Oh . . . Shiny!

by Smitty Without the slightest disrespect to Dan Riehl and his point, the GOP isn’t ready to lead, one should ask the question: lead what? First, I’m not here to pat myself on the back. On the Geller scale, I would fall well short of asserting I’m doing “enough” to support American renewal. Second, let’s […]

Dan Riehl Has His Own ‘Ilk’?

According to Stephen Bainbridge: By letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, Riehl and his ilk are ensuring themselves of a pure minority. The rest of us in the blogosphere are now jealous of Dan. What do we have to do to get our own ilks? Is supporting Christine O’Donnell sufficient to qualify […]

The Stage Is Set, Except For The Arrival Of Stacy McCain

by Smitty Dan Riehl links a Fox News article that seems to indicate an orderly process for absentee vote counts is planned in Alaska’s primary.
