Sorry, wingnuts, but you have to choose
Like Dave says, this Ross Douthat column should be immediately recognizable by liberal bloggers as concern trolling. And when you get concern trolled, you know whatever you’re doing is threatening, and is probably effective, and you should keep doing it. I’m not going to weigh in on the “did or…
The Point, You Have Missed It
The Washington Post writes a story today about the terrible incivility of today’s viral world (read: bloggers). And the opening anecdote shows the fundamental problem with the way they’re looking at this: Late last month, Charisse Carney-Nunes fired up the computer at her home in Northeast Washington to check her…
Racism Is Like A Box Of Chocolates: Generally Brown, And Kind Of Sweet
A lovely Georgia gentleman has decided to get attention by accusing Barack Obama of, get this, “nigger rig[ging] it”: Lanzo put up a sign that reads “Obama’s plan for health-care: N*&%*r rig it.” CBS Atlanta’s Michelle Marsh asked Lanzo why he put up the sign. “I’ve been putting up signs…
The hamster wheel of trying to prove something
Okay, this made me laugh. Conservatives Are Weird Not that I really care, but the whole Olympics thing was just bizarre. The link goes to Media Matters, which chronicled the strange celebration conservatives threw because Obama wasn’t able to get the Olympics to Chicago. Conservative media figures have celebrated the…
Black Kids Are Kids, Too
I headed over to Townhall this morning, in much the same way you go the long way to rubberneck at the accident you heard about on the radio. Wait, I’m the only one who does that? Well, it was theoretical anyway…not that I’d ever do it…gotta finish this post up,…
It’s almost as if I dusted off an earlier half-post and shoved it into the frame of current events
It’s not that I get blocked, really, so much as I don’t always take the time to apply the correct kind of thought to this or that article or blog post to decide whether I can sustain enough opinion to write a blog post about it. And then every once…
Hey, Mama, I Done Self-Fulfilled A Prophecy!
Michael F. Cannon and Ramesh Ponnuru write an article called “You Mislead!”, which is apparently the NRO method of sympathizing with Joe Wilson, two weeks late and with a lot more lying. You see, they’re going to “fact check” Obama’s healthcare speech, which is so full of terrible, glaring missteps…
Kristol Was Checking His Blackberry In Spirit
So, on the eve of what’s predicted to be a potential epidemic of swine flu, increasing unemployment, rising numbers of uninsured, underinsured and medical bankruptcies, Bill Kristol has pissy-pants over the fact that Obama didn’t call Congress together to go to war. So President Obama invited himself into our living…
It’s suggested that Jonah Goldberg is not the only person alive; wingnuts skeptical
It’s early and I don’t quite have the mental acuity yet to deal with Obama’s speech, so I’m going to deal with the right wing reaction right now. In sum, it appears to be, “I can’t fucking BELIEVE that these stupid Democrats think anyone but me is a human being…
I always wanted reporters to ask me about that, but the only other option was to be a porn star
Even at my most cynical, I would have not predicted that people would be brandishing weapons and threatening Obama 9 months out from the inauguration. I figured it was either at inauguration or years out, depending on how they mustered their courage. And frankly, the latter seemed more likely, because…
