Tony’s catchwrestle youtube account has, I’ve just learned, been permanently suspended. No reason given. My suspicion is that his “competitors” — the same people who tried to smear him on the internet for years — started flagging his videos. Because there were no copyright violations, and the material is, as you have all seen, grappling instruction, no different in type from the millions of other grappling instructionals available via that

I get letters
In this case, unsolicited, uninformed letters — thanks in large part to “progressive” academic SEK’s completely dishonest characterization of a post I wrote. From someone calling himself George: He can’t be shook bitches…keep it coming. Behind closed doors he is laughing at all you pathetic needle dick motherfuckers. In your eyes he couldn’t possibly be smart enough to write his book. However, there is no denying that he is still
Kirsten Powers Doesn’t Get It [Dan Collins]
Here’s her riff: Most important, Ayers was – for good or ill – deemed a mainstream member of Chicago political circles. He has been praised by Chicago Mayor Richard Daley; he’s a professor at the University of Illinois. He was named Chicago “Citizen of the Year” in 1997. One of the boards on which he and Obama served together was funded by a Republican and current McCain supporter. Ayers simply
Wherein I Play an MSM Sage, Quoting Shakespeare’s English History Plays
So, given Barack Obama’s dubious relationships in his former life, are we to credit him with the pattern of Hal, the tippling Prince, whose past blemishes will conspire to make glorious his personal reformation? [Henry IV, 1 & 2] might better be called Fathers and Sons. While he is battling the Percys, Henry is also fighting for the loyalty and affection of his son and heir, Prince Hal. Hal, that
Ta-Nehisi Coates: Lacks the Irony Sense
She rails on Jeff in a post entitled, “Epic Fail–Ayers ghost-wrote Obama’s memoir“. That’s kind of what I thought, too, but the critics liked it. UPDATE: Here’s the thing: there wouldn’t be such questions regarding O! if he didn’t lie about that gun survey, if he didn’t lie about his relations with Ayers, if he didn’t lie about his connections with ACORN, if he didn’t lie about his Wall Street
Felon Franchise
Crush of new registrations, shortage of workers hampers ability to deal with problem: More than 30,000 Florida felons who by law should have been stripped of their right to vote remain registered to cast ballots in this presidential battleground state, a Sun Sentinel investigation has found. Many are faithful voters, with at least 4,900 turning out in past elections. Another 5,600 are not likely to vote Nov. 4  they’re
Days of Rage Redux
I posted on this a day or two ago, but La Malkin has a more perspicacious post on the Angry Right. On the left, though, some seem to think that more demonstrative expressions of rage should be viewed as “civil unrest.” What would a patriot do?
Andrew Sullivan on Peculiar and Creepy [Dan Collins]
Generally, the report makes it sound as though the Palins, especially Todd Palin, were just obsessed with Wooten, in a truly peculiar and creepy way. Um. What? What’s peculiar and creepy, apart from Andrew’s own obsession with Sarah Palin’s vag, is that a guy who tasered his stepson for jollies was permitted to continue to serve as a State Trooper. Maybe, apart from the threats to their family, they were
Faces of Crisis [Dan Collins]
AP: Ohio Shooting Puts Face on Mortgage Crisis Not Very Publicized Faces of Health Insurance Crisis (h/t Darleen!) Bushit for kids! I was thinking of building an adobe Obama, but that would be racist, somehow, I’m pretty sure.
