Olympic Pussy Riot

Tabloid Headline of the Day: "Whip-wielding Russian Cossacks attack Pussy Riot" http://t.co/ECiVSL4HMi #Olympics #Sochi #Russia — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) February 19, 2014 Some days, the news is like an acid hallucination or a scene from a science fiction dystopia, and you feel as if you’re a Jeopardy contestant in an alternative-universe: “I’ll take ‘Headlines […]

In Which @AceOfSpadesHQ Becomes a First Amendment Cause Célèbre

One June 4, 2012, Ace published a blog post that began, “I’m writing a post about what’s happened to Ali Akbar.” That post was cited by Brett Kimberlin as “evidence” that Ace was part of a vast conspiracy. Now, it’s like a latter-day Dreyfuss case: Convicted bomber Brett Kimberlin’s federal lawsuit against bloggers and journalists […]

Liars Gotta Lie, Failures Gotta Fail

The gay-rights movement in America is entirely owned by the Democrat Party, and is therefore […]

‘Defamatory Attacks’

Earlier today, I remarked that how much “it makes me angry to think honest law-abiding citizens must condescend to answer the lies of a creature like Brett Kimberlin.” Really, I’d rather ignore this — leave it to the lawyers, friends say — but I must assist in my defense, and today was doing some research […]

An Unfortunately Busy Day

Readers will please excuse the lack of blogging today. There are busy days I don’t mind, when I am busy doing things I want to do. Then there are busy days when, unfortunately, I am compelled to pay attention to Brett Kimberlin’s dishonest allegations in the Maryland lawsuit Kimberlin v. Walker, et al, in which […]
