A note about my internet teevee show

My new show for Hot Air—“The CITIZEN JOURNALIST REPORT w/ Jeff Goldstein”—will debut on Friday (not tomorrow, as was previously mentioned) and will stay up on the Hot Air site (and maybe YouTube) over the weekend. To you, this means absolutely nothing, really.  To me, however, it means three days of humiliation rather than one.  Which, well—that’s what you get for not accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior, I

BECAUSE OF THE GHETTOIZATION AND RAMPANT FRENCH NATIONALISM!  AND THE POVERTY AND THE ALIENATION!  AND THE CLAM STRIPS SO POPULAR IN CALAIS!

Or maybe he just doesn’t like some snooty fop telling him which wine goes with which foods. Whatever it was, the one thing we can safely rule out is unprovoked terrorism and allegiance to an ideology that is both totalitarian and colonial.  Because, well, that’s just a myth.

Hoist the Black Flag, neocons!

At 3:05 PM EST.  Today’s guests include Jim Pinkerton, Jim Geraghty, and Mary Katherine Ham.  Or as I like to call them, Pinky and the Brain—and that one saucy conservative chick from Townhall who Allahpundit likes to think about to keep himself from despairing too much over Israel’s imminent demise. Though, alas, the Ham thing always brings him back somehow.  Poor, tortured soul. Listen in at Rightalk.  Call in number

An existential question

So, is it safe to retrieve the porn and the seventy cans of Sour Cream and Onion Pringles from my Panic Room yet, do you think?  Or do I go conservative and wait for sundown. I know what Sartre would have done.  But then, he didn’t have himself a nicely appointed Panic Room with High Def TV and a mini-fridge stocked with Amstel Lights, either.  So I’m not sure I

“Hezbollah sinks Australian warship”

Via Tom Pechinski by way of Tim Blair, news that Hezbollah has struck! That’s right!  The fiery missiles of God’s Warriors shall pierce the iron hulls of the West’s dwindling resolve! FEAR US, INFIDELS!  FOR THE REACH OF ALLAH KNOWS NO BOUNDS!  Of course, his Photoshopping skills could use a bit of work—as could his ability to hide his source material—but, well, that’s just nitpicking, isn’t it?  And besides, HE

Not Leaving is Not Enough

The Washington Post characterized President Bush’s words for the press pool as “impassioned,” causing Townhall’s Mary Katherine Ham (guest host of Vent yesterday and today) to quip, “What, not cuckoo or angered-by-his-utter-defeat-and-imminent-demise?” You can watch the video of Bush’s remarks here. As you’ll see, Bush remains (as is his signature stance) determined and resolute, but for some of the GWOT’s most stalwart early supporters, steady conviction is no longer enough. 

BREAKING:  Iran responds officially to Europes’ nuclear offer

From Reuters: Iran handed over on Tuesday its response to a nuclear package aimed at allaying Western fears that Tehran seeks to build atomic bombs, Iran’s state-run Arabic-language Al-Alam television reported. It said Ali Larijani, Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator, had handed the response to envoys representing the six nations in Tehran at the Supreme National Security Council, which handles the nuclear file. It did not give details of the reply.

Well, look on the bright side…

…Had Juan Cole been hired, the already palsied level of intellectual rigor in the Yale History Department would have only gotten worse. So the way I see it, the glass is still half full, baby!  GO BULLDOGS!
