Benson Sings Christmas!
Last year, I wrote about my favorite Christmas song, “Oh Holy Night” and linked to the two best renditions of the song I’d ever heard. That post became one of the most-read posts I’ve ever written, which surprised me a bit. I didn’t expect it to resonate quite as well. I also didn’t expect that [...]
Congrats, Stacy, and May You Be The Most Frightening and Horrid Blogger of 2009!
Congratulations to Stacy McCain who is not losing a daughter so much as he is gaining an excuse to jet off to Argentina in the winters to report on various beach-related news events. And while he’s accepting suggestions for names for the first child (may he be a masculine child!) I think Martin Luther Nestares carries a certain [...]
Climate Instability? Well, Gosh! That Sounds Kind of Crisis-y, Doesn’t It?
If at first second third, you don’t succeed in getting your latest progressive panic phrase to stick, try, try again with a more, shall way say flexible, term. This new terminology is more clever, for it neatly avoids the shortcomings of its clumsy forebears. It requires neither warming, nor change. Just television. When blizzards descend on [...]
Today Treacher, Tomorrow Another Crazy-Talented Right-Wing Blogger?
This is the first really good sign that Tucker Carlson’s $3 million vapor-blog won’t be just another Culture 11-level money-sucking failure.

Auschwitz Entrance Sign Stolen. Pelosi and Reid Have Alibis, So Don’t Even Ask.
Rumors that this sign may appear over the entrance to the U.S. Capitol are completely and entirely unfounded. A gang of thieves in Poland has stolen the infamous wrought iron sign announcing that “work sets you free” that spans the main gate of the Auschwitz concentration camp. Seriously. There’s no real indication at all that [...]
Too Bad Ben Nelson Doesn’t Have to Claim His Health Care Bribe as a Campaign Contribution
Harry Reid finally got his 60th vote for his government-run health care bill late last night, which means that unless something changes drastically in the House of Representatives, we’re all in for a world of hurt the likes of which we’ve never seen. Ben Nelson, the Democrat who was gumming up the works finally found [...]
Light Blogging this Weekend
I’m going to be on the road pretty much all day tomorrow and I’ll have spotty access to the laptop until Monday night. I’m traveling to updstate New York to sing with my fledgeling choir. If you’re in the Canandaigua area and see a flyer advertising a Messiah performance by EnChor, stop in and listen! [...]
