Share and Enjoy. So the question becomes, what are Republicans to do with a Republican party that would allow a progressive populist boasting Mondale’s trade policy and McGovern foreign policy — that is, a leftist Democrat that looks for all the world like an angry and retouched Circus Peanut — to carry its flag? And… Read More Jeff Goldstein: Let the GOP Go the Way of the Whigs. Time for a New Party.

Moral Majority 2.0 – Brad Torgersen Let’s talk about original sin, shall we? In the beginning, there was Adam, and there was Eve. And they partook of the forbidden fruit, and were cast out of the Garden. Thus becoming mortal, and knowing the difference between good and evil. Their…
Knock it off, nerds. More than a month ago, I made some jokes about Star Wars on Red Eye, a satirical political comedy show that airs at 3 a.m., and it has resulted in me being verbally abused and told to die by a mob of enraged fans for the past four days now. The… Read More Anyone Who’s Offended by Anyone on Red Eye is Too Stupid to Watch Star Wars
Amusing post at the Gun-Free Zone. Sure, he wants to send gun owners to Syria to defend America, but I doubt would want CCW permit holders to defend him or themselves in his local shopping mall. Disdain does not require logic.

Guitar work and progression is like mine. Good backbeat. Can’t understand most of the vocals. If you’re going… Read More Everything Old is Old Again – Chuck Berry Reviews the New Wave
I really didn’t think the Drama(!) of this year’s Hugos could get any thicker.

Dear Sweet Lord, was I wrong. The Hugos have… Read More Sarah Hoyt Reminds us Why “ChiCom” is a Lovely Slur We Should be Using More Of…
A Study has confirmed what we already know to be true: We stop caring about popular music sometime in our thirties. Men drop out faster than women do, apparently. Which means the last band I got into will probably be the Black Keys. I’m okay with that. B.B. King, RIP. His first recording was in… Read More B.B.

There’s a nice fat Tumblr post here serving up all the dudgeon about the fact that the show version of Tommen Baratheon has been aged-up sufficiently to consummate his marriage with Margarey Tyrell (in the books, Tommen is only eight at the time of his succession, and so Margarey manipulates him in other ways).
