From here: The "New" List of Tired Old Clichés: In Which I: In which I suggest that the "in which I" construction has had it’s 15 minutes. Really. In which it was enough. In which it has been beaten to death. In which it is so tiresome, even mocking it is annoying. I must stop this breathless tirade, however, and … Read More

Headin off in a few hours to New Hampshire.  Gone for a week.  Won’t probably blog much.  It’s Xmas. I was going to do this really awesome thing where you could track my whereabouts in realtime online as I drive through Virginia, up to Albany, and across Vermont.  Would have shown my EXACT location on a Google map, my altitude, … Read More

He’s no longer during monthly posts in the "off-season".  Bookmark it.  (And that’s his personal blog.  The blog of the corporate parent can be found here.)

John Cole of the popular conservative site, Balloon Juice, has been getting increasingly annoyed with his party for the past few years. And now he’s done it: he went and registered as a Democrat. A bit of an embarrassment is that Balloon Juice was nominated as one the finalists for Best Conservative Blog of 2007.  Cole is not phased — … Read More

Yea, that’s right. I’m merchandizing. No, I don’t profit from this…. I’m just screwing around (but, yes, you can buy this stuff).

That’s right.  The United States Government has a blog, because that’s what all the kids are into these days, and the U.S. Government is nothing if not "hip".  It’s been up for a month now. It’s called "Gov Gab: Your U.S. Government Blog".  I’m not lying.  Look at the url.  It’s a dot-gov.  Not a dot-com.  Not a dot-net.  A … Read More
