Auto-Marginalization: @BrooksBayne Decides to Jew-Bait (!) Aaron Walker

Did I ever mention that I was friends with the late Sam Francis? That I have shaken hands with Pat Buchanan and once interviewed the late Joe Sobran? I’m bringing this up — doing “guilt-by-association” against myself, as it were — to make the point that I’ve hung out with Thought Criminals of the Dreadnaught class, the kind […]

Benghazi => ‘High On A Mountaintop’

by Smitty I’ve been waiting to see this video. Stevens, Smith, Doherty and Woods did their part. Cassone has done his. Now, you know what to do for your part: make this viral. All over twitter, blogs, and inboxes. “Who gave the order to let his son die?” indeed. I think we need to get […]

Neologism: Glenren

by Smitty I’d like to propose ‘glenren’, a contraction of ‘Glenn Reynolds’, as a special term for the blend of faux naïveté, weapons-grade sarcasm, and systematic understatement so brutally employed by The Blogfather: You know, I’m beginning to wonder if they tried to fake the numbers upward for the election or something. Usage: “That there […]

U.S. District Court in Maryland Dismisses Walker v. Kimberlin Federal Lawsuit

Just got this from an attorney for Aaron Walker, reporting that the federal lawsuit against Brett Kimberlin was dimssed today: The court decided to duck the entire matter as a “dispute between political enemies”, and we disagree with his assessment as to the Court’s inability to grant the remedies sought. We disagree with the ruling […]

The Dishonesty of Bill Schmalfeldt

His initials are B.S., which is about all anyone would need to know about him, if he weren’t obsessively cyberstalking people, including my wife. But he has persisted — sending me more than 200 Twitter messages in a 48-hour period from Friday through Sunday afternoon — and his continuing career of harassment means that you’re […]

‘Tidy’ and Other Rauhauser Signatures

Neal Rauhauser was a speaker at the 2010 Netroots Nation conference Everybody has writing habits, and people tend to develop a recognizable style. For example, some people have trouble distinguishing “it’s” (contraction of it is) from “its” (possessive of it) or “you’re”/”your,” and repeated errors of that kind become a sort of fingerprint by which […]

@Karoli: Weiner Truther? And Other Questions of Remaining Interest

“I am here today to again apologize for the personal mistakes I have made and the embarrassment I have caused.” — Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.), announcing his resignation from Congress, June 15, 2011 Two days ago, I called attention to an article by Karoli, a Crooks and Liars contributor, who wrote an article in defense […]

Benghazi Strategy: Bureaucratic Twister Until Americans Get Bored, Or Something

by Smitty Per HotAir, the latest position in the Benghazi cover-up is that the “Office of the DNI” is the bad. . .guy. Unclear at this point was whether: The room where the DNI himself sits is haunted, and that some leftover from a Stephen King novel is making random edits to computer files, or […]
