Wait Until You Meet His Moyel…
If you’re going carve something into your arm to show your devotion to Satan, it certainly helps to check your symbology before you break out the best steak knife from your Mom’s silverware drawer.

Tax Day Tea Party Roundup (With Links, and Rove!)
Yesterday’s Tax Day Tea Parties were a smashing success. There were no reports of any arrests that I could find. No stores were looted. No police officers were harassed or threatened.

Blogging Behind the Green Door
Hot Air has launched a new group blog called the Green Room and populated it with a few of their best commenters as well as some very, very good bloggers from elsewhere. Two of those bloggers are also the best, hardest-working bloggers I know, William Jacobson and Stacy McCain. This is a pretty slick move [...]
