Three Days in the Life of a CPAC Blogger
John Hawkins is, for my money, the hardest working political blogger on the internet. He hustles like no one I’ve ever seen to line up interviews with people most other bloggers never touch (like Thomas Sowell) and runs not just one heavily-updated blog but two. He’s also generous with his time (he frequently guests on [...]
Potluck? Yes, Please!
I just got tipped to the launch of a new blog I think I’m really going to enjoy reading. It’s called Potluck and it’s a group blog, consisting of some of the smartest, wittiest, and most underrated women in the conservative blogosphere. Several of my friends are there including Obi’s Sister, Pat Austin, Jill of [...]
Ed Morrissey Wins Award, Is Introduced By Some Radio Guy
I mentioned yesterday that I had it on good authority there would be more surprises at CPAC, and so there was another one today. Ed Morrissey was voted the 2009 CPAC Blogger of the Year, one of the any prestigious awards I have not yet won (one day, though…one day). Ed is a good man [...]
It’s Official. I’m Official!

However, I will be meeting quite a few [...]

Even if you’ve been blogging for a while, as I have, they are very useful and worth reviewing every now and again. One of the first things a blogger needs to do, especially if the [...]
What To Do With Wikipedia
I got an e-mail from long-time reader and fairly new blogger Paul at Comic Nut’s Jar (conservative politics, comic books, and metal? Nice!) asking that I pass along his latest post. Paul has grievances against Wikipedia and he thinks we conservatives who relish fair play should look for other sources of information to link. I [...]
New at NewsReal Blog: Me!
I have started blogging at the very fine NewsReal Blog, started by David Horowitz, someone I’ve admired for a few years now. My friend Michael van der Galien is the Assistant Managing Editor there and he very enthusiastically recommended that I come on board. It’s a good site and I’d like to be an important [...]
Saturday Afternoon Bits and Bobs
Here are a few stories that have hit my inbox in the past couple of days that I know I won’t get around to including in full-blown blog posts. However, they’re good links, so how about a put them into a big ol’ roundup? * When the going gets tough, the tough astroturf. Mystery letter-write [...]
