Time to check in on our favorite Renew America wingnut, Kaye Grogan. Today Kaye writes about Kerry, the Alito nomination, and abortion. She gets off to a shaky start: Senator John Kerry is trying for one last "hurrah" using Judge Samuel A. Alito as his whipping post — calling for a filibuster. A last hurrah? Is Kerry going somewhere? Where … Read More
The 2006 George W. Bush Dead Kitten Survey
Cartoonist (see right) and blogger August Pollak wonders how far some conservative bloggers, talk show personalities, and pundits will go in their support of Bush. So he sent them a questionnaire: I would like for you to imagine the President of the United States, George W. Bush, killing kittens one-by-one with a hammer. When doing so, please keep in mind … Read More
Huh?!?
Michelle Malkin links to another post which discusses "the Dems’ failed approach to the War on Terror" (Malkin’s words). Yup. We’ve tried it the Dem way, and it "failed". So says the increasingly irrelevant Malkin.

Quote Of The Day
Conservative Ann Coulter lobs her usual grenades at the Democratic Party in her column today, and contrasts it with the Republican Party. The title of her column is "Fork Replaces Donkey As Democratic Party Symbol", although I don’t understand (and Coulter never explains) the fork reference. Maybe it has something to do with abortion, but frankly, that doesn’t make much … Read More
Exaggeration-Impaired
From The American Spectator: In supporting your country’s war efforts, it’s quite logical to invoke dastardly actions of the enemy. Historically those actions have been grossly exaggerated or fabricated. In this case, exaggeration is not only superfluous it’s essentially impossible. While taking their lunch breaks from blowing up civilians they do saw through necks with knives. Actually, the overwhelming majority … Read More
Compelling Logic?
2005 Wingnut Of the Year, John Hindrocket gushes over Bush’s speech in Louisville, Kentucky yesterday. Hindrocket writes: You can read it all here. Please, please do. Here are a few excerpts, but they can’t begin to capture the sincerity and the compelling logic that President Bush put forward. Let me briefly address the "sincerity" issue. Nobody is seriously questioning the … Read More
I’m Not a Marriage Counselor
…but I play one on my blog. Conservative columnist and radio host Dennis Prager, a frequent commentator on marriage and family values, announced this to his listeners this week: I have a sad personal announcement to make. After seventeen years of marriage, my wife Fran and I are divorcing. This is sad first and foremost for Fran and for me. … Read More
Glass Houses
He says he doesn’t want to do it, but he just might have to. Bill O’Reilly is threatening to expose to personal lives of Bush critics like Frank Rich: O’REILLY: It’s a good question, Juan, and I don’t see it as a threat. I mean, I think you have to say to people, as we do with all our guests … Read More
This Is Not A Parody
It’s early in 2006, but this article most assuredly will qualify as the dumbest article written this year . . . or any year for that matter. I can’t even attempt to summarize the author’s point, or the astoundingly inane and tortured logic he uses to support his point. Just read it, and keep in mind that there is no … Read More
Neo-Bedwetters
TBogg is tired of the conservative machismo from the right blogosphere. It’s thinly-masked fear used as a moral justification for sacrificing our hard-fought constitutional liberties: Now I may not be as "emotionally or morally sophisticated" as Roger L Simon, but then I didn’t spend the afternoon of 9/11 flushing away my beliefs and convictions in a piddle-stained panic. So please … Read More
Chickenhawk Squawk
Atrios: Murtha says he wouldn’t join military now. Numerous conservatives, many of whom appear to be of prime fighting age and who haven’t served, condemn him. Hilarious. Or something.
Wingnut Of 2005
The elections at World O’Crap are over, and the wingnut of the year is John Hindrocket of Powerline. (Powerline was, as I’ve said, Time’s Blog of the Year for 2004).
On The Leap Second
Yes, we’re getting an extra second this year, or . . . um . . . next year. Well, in between years. Or something. Today, Steve Martin (yes, that one), speaking in the voice of Bill O’Reilly, reacts to the leap second: “Look, look, look, look. A leap second is a denial of everything American, of everything good, of everything … Read More
Vote Early And Often
World O’Crap started off with something like thirty "candidates", and through voting, it has whittled the pack down to five. The election? The "Ultimate Wingnut of 2005". They are John Hindricket (of Powerline), Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, Pastor J. Grant Swank, Jr., and Dr. Mike S. Adams, Ph.D. You can read samples of their work, and vote, here.
