Blogging Behind the Green Door

Jimmie | April 14, 2009 | Comments (0)

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 [...]

Raise Your Hand if You’re Surprised that the President Stocked His Town Hall with Ringers!

Jimmie | March 29, 2009 | Comments (2)

Go on, raise them high. President Obama has promised to change the way the government does business, but in at least one respect he is taking a page from the Bush playbook, stocking his town hall Thursday with supporters whose soft — though far from planted — questions provided openings to discuss his preferred message [...]

Shocker: JournoList Populated By Scrawny Whiners

Jimmie | March 26, 2009 | Comments (2)

I’m thinking, after reading this, that the whole JounoList story is a big ball of nothing. It’s certainly still troublesome that supposedly objective journalists spend much of their time inside a progressive echo-chamber. It’s a lot less troublesome to find that instead of the advertised Inner Sanctum of Intelligent Fact and Discourse what’s really going [...]

This, Folks, is What Blog-Fu is All About

Jimmie | March 16, 2009 | Comments (0)

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 [...]

Rush’s Critics Need to Read What He Actually Said.

Jimmie | March 8, 2009 | Comments (27)

I’ve not written much about the Rush Limbaugh controversy that the White House has cooked up but, given the direction the argument has been moving among conservatives, it’s probably time I did. My post is prompted by this from Jeff Goldstein, this semi-retort my Patterico, and this overall analysis Gabriel Malor. I recommend you read [...]

Voting Rights for Them, But Not for You

Jimmie | November 13, 2008 | Comments (0)

Amanda Carpenter is noting that the House Democrats seem rather fond of their right to secret ballots, which is odd considering how eager they are to deprive you of that very same right. It’s not just the Democrats in the House either. Senate Dems are all about the secret balloting, too. Sens. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), [...]

Reviving Conservatism…How?

Jimmie | November 12, 2008 | Comments (0)

Here’s a bit from Jeff Goldstein on “Reviving Conservatism”. I can’t find much with which to disagree. Want to “revive conservatism”? First figure out what it is. Next, reject the idea that only certain “types” are capable of governing under its precepts. Follow that up by pointing out that much of what passes for social [...]
