Is Matt Drudge Not A Mitt Romney Fan?

by Smitty Ouch: Quite the triumph of the negative advertising will, Mitt’s 3% victory in Michigan.

You Can’t Stand For Much Without Implicitly Rejecting Something

by Smitty Eric S. Raymond faced some well-reasoned blowback for asserting an anti-SOPA/PIPA position from someone saying ESR overplayed his hand: The best any of our public faces can hope for is to represent us to 95% confidence and speak up knowing that some 5% are going to be disgruntled about it. I know that […]

Ann Coulter: What?

Bloviating Blame Manager Lashes Out At This Blog

by Smitty New depths of decay have been reached in the sad decomposition of what was once a decent blog. No, I’m being too generous–it was always a sad pot of rot, the Trog Blog.
