When NPR fact-checks Palin on Revere…
…and says she was essentially correct, I guess we can finally believe it. The stupidhead.

Breitbart keeps a little something behind, just in case: sex scandals then and now
Apparently, Andrew Breitbart held a little something in abeyance in Weinergate, just in case he might need it. I watched Breitbart on the Hannity show last night, and he made it fairly clear what that “something else” is: a nude … Continue reading →
Three people who might be pretty happy about Weinergate are…
…Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, and John Edwards. Speaking of John Edwards, I’ve got a question: isn’t he really really wealthy? And if so, why didn’t he use his own money to placate Rielle Hunter?
Continue reading →Weiner: Yep, I did it
Well, I guess Weiner’s confession calls for some commentary on my part. So let me just say that: —I still think the original offense[s] itself, although exceedingly smarmy, is a matter between Weiner and his wife (that is, assuming all … Continue reading →
The music you know
Last night I was looking to order some music from iTunes to replace an old favorite in my archaic record library. Unfortunately, that particular recording was obscure enough that it hasn’t been reissued in an iTunes selection, or even on … Continue reading →
Historians: well, Palin was right but it was only an accident

The case against John Edwards
I never could see how anyone could support Edwards for president. There was always something slick and smarmy about him, although I can’t say I had an inkling of just how slick and smarmy he really was. There was also … Continue reading →
Anti-Semitic drawings and the San Francisco anti-circumcision campaign

James Arness, RIP
Another icon from my youth gone. I’m not so sure I understood the plots of “Gunsmoke,” but I’m quite sure I enjoyed them, as well as characters Mr. Dillon, Chester, Miss Kitty, and Doc; the saloon, and all those storefronts. … Continue reading →
Spambot of the day
Can’t exactly disagree with this spambot: I wouldn’t believe we should be with loincloths made of dingo skin, more so than we’ve been effective at calculate. Whenever we realize it happens to be worthy of establishing, will probably be astonishing.

Palin commits an Obamaism and mispeaks on history: [Paul Revere] who warned, uh, the British that they weren’t going to be taking away our arms uh by ringing those bells and making sure as he’s riding his horse through town … Continue reading →
Love and cynicism
Here’s a touching column on lasting marital love by Tim Muldoon (hat tip: the Anchoress). He writes “But no less intense is the feeling of radical security we have built together: the knowledge that through all things we can count … Continue reading →
