VIDEO: Yet More Evidence That Frank Schaeffer Is Off His Meds Again

Since being whacked upside the head with the Crazy Stick, Frank Schaeffer has descended into a cartoonish stereotype of prissy self-righteous liberalism. One symptom of being whacked upside the head with the Crazy Stick is that victims talk in deranged run-on sentences: “I’ve been looking at this phenomenon of the so-called ‘stalled’ Barack Obama presidency […]

She Just Digs Those New Media Guys

A minor uproar erupted Friday on Twitter when I sent this message: #FF Everyone should follow Steven Crowder @scrowder if only because his girlfriend is totally HAAAWWWTT! #FollowFriday The aforesaid girlfriend’s friend, Alyssa Cordova of the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute, took umbrage: @rsmccain #degrading Requiring me to offer the following defense: @LyssCordova I met Hillary […]

Special Election FL19: Edward Lynch in the First House Campaign of 2010

Of all the candidates making the rounds at CPAC last week, arguably the most important was Edward Lynch, the Republican candidate in Florida’s 19th District. Why?

Hey, GQ, if you ever need a right-wing stud to rock a Speedo . . . OK, that was 20 years ago, and I’m well past […]

CPAC Coda: Some Cheap Riffs

by Smitty Max Blumenthal has a parade of pathetic petulance at the PuffHo, emphasis mine: While I was filming at CPAC for a forthcoming project, I was confronted by Hannah Giles, Andrew Breitbart and a mob of crazed teabaggers. Really, Max, if you were confronted by a crazed mob, something far less fortunate would have […]

Would Everyone Please Stop Arguing About Gays and Ryan Sorba?

You’re depressing me. Really. Because I’m feeling the need to write a 2,500-word essay that no one will pay me to write. It’s very easy for Bryan Fischer to stir this up by denouncing Hot Air. That’s what he gets paid to do, stir things up. But there are important arguments being overlooked because no one will […]
