Now That Saddam’s Going to Hang [Dan Collins]

I thought I’d ask the question that’s on everybody’s mind: when can we expect to see that bitchin’ art collection on eBay?

Am I Self-Respecting? [Dan Collins]

Today, PW, tomorrow the WORLD!  Bwahahahahaha! Some helpful man named Michael Green is going to make me rich (RICH), with the aid of you, my cast-iron global audience, who hang upon my every vapid observation like the mesmerized readers of Larry King’s departed column in USA Today! Dan, Unless you’ve spent 2006 buried under a rock, it won’t have escaped your attention that Blogging has become really BIG business. In

A portrait in American poverty [Pablo]

America’s poor have a multitude of problems to deal with, from the fact that George Bush hates them to their unwillingness to do the jobs we need 12 million illegal aliens to do. But we’ve got a very serious threat to America’s impoverished, an unprecedented threat that endangers the very lives of up to a third of our inner city poor. What horror is it that endangers these poor, unfortunate

Does Phillip’s Milk of Magnesia have any of the same ice-melting properties as Magnesium Chloride?  Because if not, I fear I’ve left myself vulnerable to both constipation and a tacky, mint-smelling driveway that will soon be slick as a snail’s pudendum. Which ain’t likely to win me any votes at the HOA elections, I can tell you that much. Developing…

Heard Any Good Dish, Lately? [Dan Collins]

The gossip writer told an undercover FBI agent,

Return of the Podium Bunnies? [McGehee]

John Edwards is running for president again. Never mind his platform—how’s his hair?

Rago Against the Machine [Dan Collins]

I’ve got no particular beef against Joe Rago, to whose doltish antibloggist op-ed in the WSJ we’ve shown our hobnails.  He was the Dartmouth Review editor, and, who knows, my buddy Joe Malchow at Joe’s Dartblog may know him.  I suppose that if we went out for a beer, we might find we agree on a good many things, and after a few of them it’s possible he might even

Prediction: Jeff’s first brief conversation with Saddam’s corpse [Dan Collins]

Horrifying [Dan Collins]

From the blogads at Power Line comes this question: Do you have the Olbermann Widget yet? No, thank God, and I plan to practice safe sex during the coming year. UPDATED: Botoxoplasmosis? “Interestingly, the effect of [Toxoplasma gondii] infection is different between men and women,” Dr Boulter writes in the latest issue of Australasian Science magazine. “Infected men have lower IQs, achieve a lower level of education and have shorter

On Resolutions [Dan Collins]

My invitation to a spiritual inventory as preparation for the holidays was such a success that I am emboldened now to bid you look to the future.  What are your resolutions for the New Year, for yourself?  What are your mild suggestions, your constructive criticisms for others with whom you may, percase, disagree?
