If the Tea Party Had Started With 40 People at Panera in West Palm Beach . . .

. . . I’m pretty sure we never would have heard the end of the media guffawing. And I’m damn sure the Palm Beach Post never could have been bothered to notice. The Post is owned by degenerate heirs of the Cox family, who have notoriously plundered and ruined the Atlanta papers. Those treacherous elitist bastards did all they could […]

Holy Crap! The American Spectator Offers Gift Subscriptions for Just $29

Well, no wonder I always have such a hassle trying to get Al Regnery to pay my travel expenses! Give the gift that keeps giving throughout the year. That, of course, would be THE AMERICAN SPECTATOR.

This reminds me of something that Buckley once said to a liberal contemporary. “Now listen, you queer, you stop […]

Tip-Jar Hitters Don’t Do Davos

Maybe next year your contributions to the Galactic Conquest Fund will be enough to send me to Switzerland to hobnob with the bigwigs, but for now, we’ll have to rely on the MSM to tell us what’s going on there with the Masters of the Universe. Associated Press: The state of the world’s economy, and keeping […]

‘Sam Dealey Has What It Takes to
Make That Paper Great Again’

So says Christian Josi, referring to the hiring of a new editor at The Washington Times. Paul Bedard, who was on the White House beat when I joined the Times in 1997, gives the lowdown on the new guy: Dealey, a U.S. News contributor, is based in Washington, writing on national and foreign affairs.
