The Enemy of My Enemy is My Sock-Puppet [Ellers McEllerson]

Greetings from Brazil! I know my fellow right-leaning civil libertarian Jeff Goldstein is not a fan of Prof. Ann Althouse, so I am taking the opportunity here to fulminate against her scurrilous screed claiming that my rococo writing style turns out “endless massive blocks of overlong, tedious, unedited sentences,” which is clearly the unfiltered ramblings of a right-wing harpie who cannot appreciate the complexity of structure that allows for the

More Evidence of Low Morale and Uncaring Soldiers

See this for a fine example.

How to effect a political sea change – Updated [ahem]

Vote Republican. I’m serious. It will accomplish three things: 1) Snap the neck of the Democratic party and put it out of its misery. A loss this election would do it. The majority of the party would be forced to re-evaluate its position and might even move back to the pro-American center. The far Left will be marginalized, as it should be. I know there are JFK Democrats out there.

Lybrel: Puts a Period to Your Period

Maybe we should roll out MayBee’s “ Menstruating” t-shirts soon, before they’re passe.  If I said that this was Frankenpharmafeminism, would I get credit for the coinage?  Would I make anyone angry?

Shameless cry for attention 2, or I love an echo chamber (a non-ripoff of PW memes post by cranky-d)

Another Jameson (the booze, not the broad) fueled post. I guess you could say I have given up.  I imagine many of us have.  I no longer have any desire to persuade anyone who disagrees to cleave to my political positions.  What’s the point?  Most of us have already decided how we think (or feel, depending on political affiliation) things should be. It takes energy to argue with walls of

Photos of Our Fathers (Spoiler-free) [Karl]

I had mixed feelings about going to see Clint Eastwood’s Flags of Our Fathers, the new Clint Eastwood-directed movie about the lives of the soldiers immortalized in Joe Rosenthal’s iconic photo of the Stars and Stripes being hoisted at Mt. Suribachi on Iwo Jima. The final screenplay was written by Paul Haggis, who has been a featured speaker at antiwar rallies sponsored by the hard-left radicals at International ANSWER. And

Talking back to drag-queen music 12 (cranky-d)

Seriously?  I don’t think that having one person as the one and only possibility of love is all that healthy.  I mean, just because you have to live without a given person does not mean you will live without love.  Although I admit, with the right person, if I think about her, I might think about “love.” Actually, being a guy, I think about “love” many times per day.
