Von Miller out for the Broncos. Lack of pressure on Ponder will lead to a trap game victory for the Vikings. Is my fear. You’re all free to fret about other things. Like, why won’t the Raiders just lose already?

When the world needs a scapegoat, it seems the Jews will always do just fine, thank you. From the Jerusalem Post: The study – “Intolerance, Prejudice, Discrimination: A European Report” –questioned roughly 1,000 people in each of the selected EU countries….

Liveblogging the Pajamas Media launch festivities from the W Hotel in New York, 1 My cab pulled up outside the W a little before 9 PM New York time, and after checking in and dropping my suitcase on the bed, I immediately made my way to the hotel bar, where I found Tim Blair, Roger Simon, and Ed Driscoll bunched around a small table near the restrooms.

[to celebrate — or more accurately, to commemorate, because honestly, who would want to do this shit for ten years, right? — protein wisdom‘s decade of life, I’ve decided to pull posts from the archives each day this month as a way to give newer readers a taste of the old pw (and to give longtime readers a nostalgic trip that doesn’t require the ingestion of brown acid, or a
