Those Not Subject to Legal Liability [Dan Collins]

ought to be whipped. This hilarious post from The Impolitic: The “right’s” right to lie I have to agree there’s no grounds for the DNC to sue either Powerline or Glenn Reynolds. Being morally bereft is not a crime unless it ends in actual violence. But they both deserve to be taken out behind the woodshed and soundly whipped for recklessly and worse yet, approvingly, promoting a vicious rumor they

Dan Collins Is Teh SuxOr!!1/! [Dan Collins]

Yesterday, I made a big stink about Opie and Anthony and their Condi-raping guest.  Turns out that if you listen to the uncut version of the episode, dudes were mocking the moron who had the violent fantasies about her.  So, in response to Treacher, I hereby kneel in the spring crudwash at the shoulder of the road, toss fistfuls of broken glass upon myself, rend my garments, tear my hair

Mother’s Day Memorial Post [Dan Collins]

Remember something about your mom that makes/made her great. It’s all about Mom this time. UPDATE: Here’s a real mother for you. I don’t know this television program, but dig the high hat. UPDATE: I’d like to thank Mom for birthing me a time that would ensure that I was a teenager at a privileged moment in our cultural history.

Vignettes from Academia [Dan Collins]

I don’t know how the rest of you guys spent your time in graduate school, but I met some of the most . . . interesting people that one could ever hope to meet.  One of them was my friend Jason Gleckman.  People come and go, and sometimes you find yourself living, due to financial arrangements, suicide, burned-down dwellings, or whatever, with people whom otherwise you’d not have the pleasure

Intelligentsia, Social Policy and the New Evangelism [BJTxs]

**** Being a Guest Post by BJ****For your delectation****With a glass of port****And some fine Texas Cheese****Unabridged & Unaffected**** In a recent post, Jeff aptly described the dubious practice of Carbon Offsets as a modern form of the old church practice of indulgences, the paying of coin for alleviation of sins for those both living and dead. The practice took to extremes the foundational principle that the Roman Catholic Church,

The “There are 8 million stories in the naked city” post, 4:  “Corporate Heroism”

     Fat man walks into a Subway sandwich shop, armed to the teeth, strapped with body armor, and looking for that “lying Jared asshole.”      “Uh, he’s not here,” says the assistant manager from his crouch behind the sneeze guard. — Then, thinking quickly, he adds, “You might try Quizno’s, though.  And if it were me, I wouldn’t take any chances.  I hear that lying asshole likes to go there in disguise.”

Bwahahahahaha!!! [Dan Collins]

Something I’d missed: @bb: I initially gave Dan Collins and his mto.com address the benefit of the doubt. It’s not unheard of for a government lawyer to consult former colleagues with expertise when drafting regs or statutes. Hell, lobbyists and corporations write most of that stuff anyway. However, he seems to be the same Dan Collins of https://www.proteinwisdom.com/ who blogs and comments all around, a real wingnut idealogue, and there’s

End Times Digest [Dan Collins]

‘Vote for Romney is vote for Satan’ Wow.  I had no idea he’d tap Cheney as his running-mate. Hey, did I mention that John & the Missus are up to speed at Wuzzadem?  That foot injury really messed up his brain for a while.

Fall of the House of Other: A Study in Decadance [Dan Collins]

Durham Wonderland notes that the impenitent 88 continue to make egregious asses of themselves in public.  The absurdist academese in which Professor Grant “Far Out” Farred has to couch his slanderous attack cum self-defense demonstrates the depths of self-delusion to which the egoist is willing to descend in order to justify his hatred.  From K C Johnson: “It is because the law knows that it cannot achieve foreclosure, because it

UN-frickin’-believable

Another twofer: First, from Opinion Journal:  “Axis of Soros:  The men and motives behind the World Bank coup attempt”: Mr. Malloch Brown, remember, was until last year Kofi Annan’s deputy at the United Nations. In that position, he distinguished himself by spinning away the $100 billion Oil for Food scandal as little more than a blip in the U.N.’s good work, and one that had little to do with Mr.
