The Power of Prejudice

Rule One of “How to Get a Million Hits on Your Blog” is shameless blogwhoring. Think of it as an existential philosophy: In the New Media environment, that which is not promoted does not exist. “I blogwhore, therefore I am.” So, after I was the first to report Rick Santorum’s endorsement of Curtis Bostic in […]

Monday Open Thread: The Tax Man Cometh

— by Wombat-socho Stacy and Smitty both have new jobs that are sucking up most of the time they used to spend on blogging. Unfortunately. Me, I work a weird schedule in the tax mines, so it leaves me free to contribute linkagery and occasional posts like this. Question for today: if you could eliminate […]

The 1% Progressive Bloggers Club and the Bourgeois Dialectic of Comrade Yglesias

Friend of the proletariat Matthew Yglesias (Photo: Matt Roth) The news that left-wing blogger employee of Slate magazine Matthew Yglesias has purchased a $1.2-million townhouse in D.C.’s Logan Circle neighborhood has produced much chortling.

In Defense Of BlogBash And CPAC

by Smitty Noting Jerry Wilson’s disdain for BlogBash, “An event such as BlogBash could prove valuable if it led to greater networking, encouragement and support for all bloggers, not solely those in attendance,” I don’t think Jerry is fully briefed on the goals of The National Blogger’s Club, which really aren’t bad at all. I […]

CPAC: Turned Out Pete Ingemi Hadn’t Heard Of A ’10 Questions’ Interview

by Smitty Nobody interviews people like Pete, Da Tech Guy: nobody. So, if you can’t compete, enjoy a little revenge, as they say amidst the rubble in the Eastern Mediterranean. This is done in the style of The Chaser’s War on Everything, especially their 10 Questions. Here is my interview: Can the GOP capture the […]

Shark Tank Catches A ‘Racial’ Altercation In Real Time

by Smitty This video by The Shark Tank catches Yid with Lid and Greg Thrasher Thrasher posts today, presumably in response: One of the truths I have learned from my activism in the area of civil rights is the ability to evolve pass[sic] seeking racial parity and equity with the majority society . I now […]
