Instapundit Allows Comments!
I was gone all weekend sans internet, so I’m just glomming onto this now. I am without words. See, if that had happened last December, I might have bought into all that Mayan Prophecy horse-puckers. I mean, what’s next?

Everyone who clicks on this video is going to Hell
You have been warned. If I was a cynical man, I’d suspect that whatever intern at NSTB “confirmed” this decided that it was too funny NOT to go on the air. In any case, if you’re like me, you will laugh, and then despise yourself for laughing. What makes it extra funny is the serious… Read More Everyone who clicks on this video is going to Hell
Paula Deen is . . . an Old Southern Cook. The Rest is Kabuki.
I’ve ignored this, because I don’t often concern myself with cooking show celebrities, because I hate cooking shows. They inflame the desire but cannot satisfy it. They are to the palate what strip clubs are to the libido. What noise crossed my transom made it sound as though Paula Deen had dropped an n-bomb sometime… Read More Paula Deen is . . . an Old Southern Cook. The Rest is Kabuki.
Progressives Love Them Some Jailbait
Here’s a joke from my old blog: Q: How do you separate the grown-ups from the children at the Huffington Post? A: With a crowbar. This was in response not only to the linked material, but to the centrifugal talking points that accompanied the almost-extradition of Roman Polanski from Switzerland a few years ago. You remember,… Read More Progressives Love Them Some Jailbait
A Reality Show to Send People to Mars?
This would be the first reality show that would accomplish anything worthwhile. My mind is filled with misgivings on this. In the first place, reality shows have less than a proven track record at distinguishing the truly talented from the merely photogenic (Name the debut albums of any five American Idol winners). I can’t escape the… Read More A Reality Show to Send People to Mars?
Russell Taylor – In praise of UKIP
I don’t know anything about the UK Independence party, but Russel Taylor casts it in very Tea Partyish terms. The Tories have responded by insisting UKIP has no real policies, to which I would say that this hasn’t held them back. Their ragtag combination of Keynesianism and liberal dogma doesn’t represent a coherent response to the mess… Read More Russell Taylor – In praise of UKIP
Boston Bombers’ Family Got $100K in Welfare and Other Benefits.
I am probably racist for passing this along. (Via HotAir) Why do I work again? Happy May Day, Comrades.
We Do Not Understand the Middle East
That’s a pretty obvious statement, but Michael Totten’s article about the End of Hezbollah (his lips to God’s ears) underlines it wonderfully: Part of Hezbollah’s support used to come from the fact that they were perceived as not being corrupt, but that’s over now, too. “Even my family members who are big Hezbollah supporters are… Read More We Do Not Understand the Middle East
The Irony, It BURNS!
Footage of the car stolen by the Boston bombers in last-night’s shootout: @katmckinley @benhowe Here it is: twitter.com/chelseagrunwal… — Chelsea (@chelseagrunwald) April 19, 2013 Yeah, that’s a “Co-Exist” bumper sticker there. Yeah…. And now, some Dropkick Murphy’s. Because I can think of nothing more useful to do.
Why Would Amazon Want a Physical Presence?
Over at Quartz, a suggestion that Amazon, which has been making moves toward having physical stores (at present, “lockers” which function like post office boxes where people can pick things up), should buy Radio Shack, which has been faltering in just the way you would expect. It sounds exciting, but it’s a bad idea. The… Read More Why Would Amazon Want a Physical Presence?
