For a few days now I’ve noticed Michelle Malkin’s blog has no advertisements. For a day or so this didn’t worry me. But this was Tea Party Day week and she’s been one of the major driving forces in articulating the cause and motivating participation. One mark of her success is that last Sunday, when …

Iowahawk’s latest is a genre-blending time warp tour de force lampooning left-wing totalitarian mind control. It took me back to my fourth/fifth grade classroom at Fairburn Elementary School in Westwood in Los Angeles. My teacher was Ruth Utsunomiya, a petite and beautiful Japanese-American in her late 20’s or early 30’s who told us she and …
Lent’s over and Stacy — The Other McCain — is released from his vow of giving up the pleasure of punk-smacking Ross Douthat. I picked up the slack a couple of times during Lent — here and here — just so Douthat would stay in punching-bag shape, and I thought I could let Stacy resume …
When I was a reporter for the Harford Democrat (1980-1982), social conservatives were on a rampage about the quality of education in local schools.

Do your homework so you are informed. Read your points aloud for practice. Watch Zo for some inspiration. Then give your 30-second speech to a video camera and pop …

The nutroots know the value of keeping control of the language used to frame any issue and update the definition of teabaggers and teabagging here. One of the sayings in my family as I grew up was, “Never argue with a crazy person!” We had one, and those who did got no pity. I don’t …
Left Blogistan is gloating about how to interview persons attending the Tea Party protests on April 15 to make them look like fools and bigots. I was a reporter for two years of my well-spent youth for the Harford Democrat in Maryland. I have some advice. Here’s how to give an interview at your Tea …

On my daily rounds I came across one or two blogs denouncing Meghan McCain, which is not unusual, but somehow my curiosity was piqued. Anyway, I clicked through on the links and found — you are shocked, I’m sure — that I am delighted with Ms. McCain’s explanation of why she supports gay marriage and …

You just can’t make this stuff up. Faux conservative/twerp vérité Ross Douthat, whose collection of contemporary porn from the last 60 years is one of his own favorite column topics, is the subject of a lengthy profile today by Michael Calderone at Politico in celebration of Douthat’s replacing Bill Kristol as the token conservative on the …
