Bob Belvedere — Hacked!

Bob Belvedere at Camp of the Saints knows that the guidelines for “Rule 5” set a limit at the PG-13 line. Obviously, on Saturday, the hackers took control of Bob’s blog and posted photos of, uh, plus-size model Melissa Manning which are definitely Not Safe For Work. Or so I’m told, by persons familiar with […]

Deranged Cyberstalker Bill Schmalfeldt: Bats, Belfry, Some Assembly Required

Bill Schmalfeldt ranting on YouTube When last we left the strange saga of Bill Schmalfeldt, the self-described “brain-damaged troll,” his incessant barrage of Twitter gibberish had become so demonstrably crazy that there were fears for his safety. Apparently, however, the nice young men in white coats didn’t take Bill to the Funny Farm, or else […]

Meltdown Monday: Does Bill Schmalfeldt Need a Brief Vacation at Spring Grove?

Bill Schmalfeldt ranting, 2011. (Image via Thomas Anderson at Vimeo) “The point is, the sound advice I gave Barrett Brown could apply equally to you, Mr. Schmalfeldt: ‘Spare me your lawsuit threats … you are traveling a road to destruction.’ … “As for your own understanding (of law or anything else), sir, I am quite […]

In Which the Untalented @AndOHehir Gets Owned by @AceOfSpadesHQ

Some liberal motifs are perennial: When God and Man at Yale was published in 1951, liberals denounced Buckley as a fanatic and worse.

Dammit, @CalebHowe, Get Better! UPDATE: Let’s Make It $30,000 Tonight

You’re pissing me off here, Caleb. There’s no sick leave in the blogosphere, and this “going to the hospital” stuff is not allowed. Besides, quite honestly, I can’t handle the stress. Being a middle-aged blogger — “middle-aged,” if the life expectancy of a two-pack-a-day smoker is 106 — has become increasingly stressful. First Andrew Breitbart died […]

Vile Lie-Peddler @Karoli Kuns and the Posthumous Vindication of Breitbart

If there were ever any honest person employed by the New York Times (we […]

Barrett Brown: Madness Foreshadowed

December, 2010: Barrett Brown explains his ‘informational schematic’ on YouTube. “I wonder to myself: Where do these trolls come from? Where do they live and breed? . . . “Many militants are devoid of an essential ingredient of being human: empathy. . . . “They afford themselves free rein to act out their basest of […]

Bill Schmalfeldt Finally Gets His Reply

Bill Schmalfeldt ranting, 2011. (Image via Thomas Anderson at Vimeo) “I’m disgusted that it has come to this. I thought that Facebook, being an honorable organization that everybody loves, that everybody has heard of, would honor its own terms of service and remove this cancer, this tumor, this malignancy from its own service.” — Bill […]
