Fred Branfman, author, blogger and early contributor to the current California economic miracle under Governor Jerry Brown, has written a very long apologetic about Noam Chomsky, or more accurately a standard screed against US imperialism and capitalism using Chomsky as a prop. Presumably he thought that invoking the grand old man’s name would somehow spur [...]

When shady South Carolina blogger Will Folks claimed he had an affair with SC gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley, I said we’d need a little more time to determine whether he was telling the truth,
So, here’s how I’m looking at the story. There will be some hard evidence if this happened. Nikki Haley didn’t thank him [...]
Twitter Today – Mickey Kaus’ Candidacy and Ezra Klein’s Narcissism
March 12, 2010 By Leave a Comment
In the fuzzy fantasy world of the progressives – every issue, statement, article is a very personal affront. How nice to live in a land where everything is about “me”!

OMG: Beck Calls Meghan McCain a “Useful Idiot”
February 15, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Like, whatever.
It’s hard to think of the utterly unaccomplished blogger Meghan McCain, who blathers on about things she knows little about in her Valley Girl voice, as an intelligent, well informed person. Glenn Beck went even further on his TV show Friday, calling the self-described progressive Republican a “useful idiot.”
Beck spent time mocking McCain, daughter of fair weather conservative [...]

Most Obscene Tweet of the Day: Ana Marie “Wonkette” Cox Unloads on Pat Robertson
January 14, 2010 By Leave a Comment
The NewsReal Blog has some very reasonable obscenity restrictions. Those restrictions will force me to edit the Ana Marie Cox tweet about Pat Robertson this morning. The blogger formerly known as Wonkette suggests a reaction to excerpt from CBN about Haiti being cursed. Suffice to say that her verbiage rhymes with duck and is repeated [...]
