Michelle Malkin organized a huge protest in front of the New York Times building on the Fourth of July. The purpose was to express outrage at the Time’s "leaking" of "classified information", thus jeopardizing the lives of Americans blah blah blah. 16 people, not including the organizers and journalists, showed up. Apparently, the New York Times is still in business. … Read More
The Winger Response To Hamdan
Entirely predictable. They’re getting all outraged and pulling the "activist judges" crap. Here, for example, is the editorial at NRO: As yesterday’s decision again demonstrates, this Court would rather impose its preferences on us than simply follow the law. We should find this unacceptable in any case. But when the consequences of the Court’s arrogance rise to the level of … Read More
Mark Levin Is A Moron
Publius beat me to it. I was going to post the exact same thing: Mark Levin, NRO: Congress and the Court are systematically stripping the presidency of war-making powers. Congress demands that the president get court approval before intercepting enemy communications (we call that intelligence gathering) and the Court demands that the president get statutory support from Congress before he … Read More
Viagraholics Anonymous
The organization sends an open letter to Rush Limbaugh (and it’s not a joke — they’re being sincere): To Our Fellow Viagraholic: We feel your pain. We’ve been there, and we too have suffered the humiliation and shame of having our lives torn apart by Viagra abuse. Rush, it doesn’t have to be this way. We at Viagraholics Anonymous are … Read More
Flag Amendment Fails
Burn ’em if you got ’em. Meanwhile, there’s delusions at the Corner. John Podheretz to fellow Cornerite Jonah Goldberg: Jonah, I also oppose the flag-burning amendment. But as a strictly Machiavellian matter, as a sheerly political stunt, you have to admit that it’s one of those peculiar gifts that keeps on giving. Republicans can bring it up every few years … Read More
Rush’s Drug Problems Continue, And People Like Me Giggle Like Schoolchildren
Schaudenfraude: A Customs inspector going through the baggage of conservative radio show host Rush Limbaugh on Monday afternoon found 29 small blue tablets — a supply of the impotence drug Viagra. Trouble is, the name on the bottle wasn’t Limbaugh. ”Limbaugh said it was for his own personal use and that the name on it was his doctor’s,” said Sgt. … Read More
Can’t Believe This Guy Is A Law Professor
Glenn "Instapundit" Reynolds, on the issue of the New York Times leaking news that the government is monitoring bank transactions: The founders gave freedom of the press to the people, they didn’t give freedom to the press. [NYT Editor] Keller positions himself as some sort of Constitutional High Priest, when in fact the "freedom of the press" the Framers described … Read More
Babel Babble
Let’s see — what’s up with the usual gaggle of wingnuts today? Nathan Tabor is writing non-sensical (and therefore mock-proof) columns, apparently giving the old college try at this thing called "humor". Since we want no part of that, we turn our attention to Marie Jon Apostrophe, since she’s undoubtedly going to send her latest column to me by email … Read More
Oh, That Liberal Media…
From The Corner: [T]he Big Three networks just aired three and a half hours of morning and evening news coverage in just three weeks of the Haditha “Marine massacre” allegations. But they have next to no interest in digging through the Saddam archives, just as they had next to no interest in digging through Soviet archives or East German archives. … Read More

The Hitler vs Coulter Quiz
Wit And Wisdom From Nathan Tabor
From today’s column: In fact, twenty years down the line, I wouldn’t be surprised if our much-maligned President George W. Bush is regarded as one of our finest Presidents. Why? Because—when we faced an unprecedented attack on domestic soil on 9/11, the President responded with courage, strength and, yes, even restraint. Normally at this point, I would say something snarky, … Read More
Morons Can Use The Bible For Anything These Days
I recently had a discussion with a friend, a born again Christian, the other day. She tried to convince me that the Bible is THE TRUTH. You know, with a capital "T". She couldn’t say why it was THE TRUTH, because to question why is (apparently) some form of heresy. Anyway, I came across this article which demonstrates (per my … Read More
Nathan Tabor: “America Loves Winners”
That’s an odd title for Nathan Tabor’s latest screed, seeing as how Nathan has tried to run for government office twice, and lost. Just when you think that things are going bad for the G.O.P., some Democratic “leader” steps up to a microphone and gives the electorate one more reason to remember why they voted Republicans into the House, Senate, … Read More
Ann Coulter’s Little Plagiarism Problem
The Rude Pundit has been doing a good series on the plagiarism within Ann Coulter’s new book: Godless. See here and here and here. The Raw Story has found more examples, and MSNBC even makes a note of the accusations.
Nathan Tabor: Stupider Than Usual
Nathan Tabor may have failed as a NC Senate candidate, but he’s got all the makings of a national homophobe champion: It’s become the common refrain in numerous news reports around the country—Republicans are simply using the Marriage Amendment as an election-year ploy to get voters to back GOP candidates in the fall. After all, state initiatives to ban same-sex … Read More
