Did you notice anything new about The Shack? Like a theme different in a few ways? And some new stuff all the way up at the top of the main page? And new sidebar widget thingies? And a whole lot of blank space where more widget thingies that will contain cool links and maybe a [...]
You’ve probably noticed the posts here at The Shack haven’t exactly been plentiful lately. I have a couple good reasons and ask your indulgence for a short while to explain. First, I’ve spent a couple or three weeks re-evaluating what I want to write about after the election. Sure, I could go back to what [...]
From nearly the very beginning, I envisioned The Sundries Shack as a place into which I could eventually invite other writers to share the space I’d created. Today, I get to share not just one, but two very good writers with you all.
Have you ever read something that was the emotional or intellectual equivalent of a punch in the gut from a large and angry man named Knuckles? It doesn’t happen to me often, but when it does, I do my best to figure out exactly why what I read affected me so profoundly. Also, I like [...]
Eight years ago, I had this little conversation with myself: ME: You know, I’ve been reading these blogs like Captain’s Quarters, Q and O, Instapundit, and Ace of Spades HQ for a little bit now. I’d like to try my hand at that. I bet I could get a few readers myself. OTHER ME: Really? [...]

Seriously, what’s not to like about that? The [...]
Guys, I’m exhausted. My obligations away from The Shack have become so numerous that I honestly don’t have enough hours in the day to do everything and still get a decent amount of sleep. I’ve been running as fast as I can for about a month now and I’m gassed. Obviously I can’t continue this [...]
Back in June, I had an idea for something I named the Conservative Cubicle Art Project. Here’s how I described it when I launched a little sneak peek back then: I like hanging pieces of art — comics, mini posters, and so on — at my desk at work, but it’s hard to find art [...]
I really hadn’t planned on devoting half of Episode 104 to the debt ceiling debate, but then White House Spokesmouth Jay Carney went and gave a press conference so blatantly offensive that I couldn’t help but talk about it.
