On Content Theft and the Big Dogs
In my nearly seven years as a conservative political blogger, I’ve learned a lot things. One of them is that my content is going to get stolen by journalists, columnists, radio hosts, and television pundits. The sad truth of the conservative blogosphere is that, unless you’re one of the truly big bloggers, you can expect [...]
Where They See “Thousands”, I See Multitudes
Let the media sapper operation against Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally begin! Here is how ABC is headlining the rally in Washington, DC today: Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” Rally Draws Thousands Well, sure, “thousands” is accurate, but so is “tens of thousands”. In fact, the latter is more accurate, wouldn’t you say? How about another [...]
Glenn Beck to Headline CPAC 2010. Heads to Explode Around Dowdy Republicanville
Surely, the news that Glenn Beck will give the keystone address at CPAC in February is going to send David Frum, David Brooks, Conor Freidersdorf and the other self-appointed guardians of Republican Party purity into paroxysms of despair. For that reason alone, I like CPAC’s decision. Beck is everything the dowdy crowd of the Right [...]
Yes, Sir, He’s Crazy. Crazy Like A…Reagan?

It’s even better when that attempt blows up in their faces. Look, when you gin up a boycott against someone’s sponsors, demanding they pull their advertising as a direct attack [...]
Saturday Morning Links
I’m going to try my hand at one of those Saturday link posts, wherein I return as much of the link love that was given to me during the week as possible. So, here are your Saturday Morning Lynx. What? I like puns. Don’t judge me! – Smitty’s bringing the Rule 2 Thunder with a [...]
Beware the Knife in the Ribs, Conservatives.
Charles Johnson’s criticisms would carry some weight if they were based on a solid foundation but they aren’t so they don’t. Maybe he needs to read my blog before he jumps on the conservabash bandwagon with his new leftist buddy. Or at least treat the word of a Democratic apparatchik with some skepticism instead of [...]
It’s Easy to Call Someone a Conspiracy Theorist When You Can Just Make Up What They Believe
I don’t know who Michael A. Cohen is nor why he merits op-ed space at the Politico, but I do know he needs to get his facts straight. In his piece, he warns the Republican party away from “extremist rhetoric” and names Glenn Beck as the chief extremist. It would have helped Cohen’s point if [...]
