Jimmie at Hot Air: Afghani Tomfoolery and GOP State Domination
Over at Hot Air today, I wrote a couple posts about stories that, to be honest, should have been bigger news but, for whatever reason, just weren’t. First up, the story of how a man pretending to be a high-ranking member of the Taliban managed to fool the Afghan government and a bunch of western [...]
Jimmie at Hot Air: Quittin’ Clinton and A Little Coming Together
I have a couple more guests posts over at Hot Air you may enjoy. Here’s a taste of the first, in which I consider Hillary Clinton’s Fox News Sunday appearance in which she said she was done running for office. The “I swear I’m not running” gambit is as old as politics itself and has [...]
Jimmie at Hot Air: Humble Pelosi Regrets Being Humble
I’ll be guest-blogging for the next few days over at Hot Air. Ed Morrissey, who is one of the three or four hardest-working bloggers I know (along with this guy, who now has scientific proof of his genius), is going to take a well-deserved rest for a little while. My first entry is a little [...]
Democrats: Why, It’s Old Lady Pelo…Oh, to Heck With It.
Allahpundit is to blogging what Josh Hamilton is to the game of baseball. His swing is a thing of majestic beauty and when he gets one in his wheelhouse, he can hit it an awfully long way. Witness his opening to this post on how the Democrats are eager to embrace the suck. Democrats wonder: [...]
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 [...]
This, Folks, is What Blog-Fu is All About
I know I link my friend Stacy McCain a lot, but there’s a good reason. He’s an outstanding blogger. He has assembled unto himself a group of younglings — S. Logan, Monique Stuart, and Cynthia Yockey — and is teaching them the Rules of Blog-Fu. You can’t argue with the man’s success since all three [...]
I Say “Terrorist”, You Say Whatever
Clark Hoyt, the public editor of the New York Times, has an interesting article in his paper today on the agonies of using the word “terrorist” to describe…well…terrorists. The Mumbai terror attacks posed a familiar semantic issue for Times editors: what to call people who pursue political, religious, territorial, or unidentifiable goals through violence on [...]
Harry Reid to Illinois Lt. Governor: Do My Bidding or Face My Wrath!
If you could pick one Democratic politician inept enough to blunder right into the ever-widening morass that is the Blagojevich corruption case with a desperately ham-handed attempt to make sure Barack Obama’s former Senate seat isn’t filled by a special election, who would you pick? I know. It’s a trick question. The momentum for a [...]
