"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Saint Charles, Martyr of LGF

Because there are so many important things to blog about — hey, CPAC starts Thursday — I seldom take notice of Charles Johnson’s idiocy anymore, but His Weirdness has once again been pursuing his sick obsession with Pamela Geller.

‘It Looks Like I’m in the Process
of Getting Completely Boned’

No, that’s not a quote from the memoirs of JFK’s teenage mistress, who performed oral sex on a Secret Service agent at the president’s request.
