Piltdown Politics In Pittsburgh? (UPDATE)
This video is circulating the ‘net at high speed. It allegedly shows men in military uniform grabbing a G-20 protester in Pittsburgh, shoving him in a car, and hauling him away to an unknown location. Note I say “allegedly,” because … Continue reading
Malkin’s Sanitized Tea Party
Michelle Malkin eagerly posted pictures and video on her website, HotAir.com (perhaps the most ironic website URL in the history of the internet) to “prove” that two million people marched on Washington Saturday. Her choice of material is devoid of … Continue reading
Biggest Douchebag On Twitter (UPDATE)
I’m still reeling from the incredible traffic I got off yesterday’s post. It was prominently linked on Alex Jones’s Infowars site, which is both ironic and bizarre. But quite by accident, I learned the pseudonymous blogger coffee260 has been named … Continue reading
Faking It (UPDATE)
In case you haven’t heard, a couple of union members got physical with a teabagger at a town hall in St. Louis Friday night. The “victim,” a Mr. Gladney (helpfully described as a “black conservative” by the very teabaggers who … Continue reading
How Orly Taitz Got Punk’d
The search for Orly Taitz’s Kenyan birth-certificate hoaxer has been percolating through the internet for days. This morning, Politijab seems to have found him or her. An anonymous poster put four images up on FearlessBlogging.com. The first is the hoax … Continue reading
Is PNAC at it Again?
Citing unnamed “Western intelligence sources,” the UK Times ran a scary headline yesterday about Iran’s nuclear program: Iran has perfected the technology to create and detonate a nuclear warhead and is merely awaiting the word from its Supreme Leader, Ayatollah … Continue reading

Major Stefan F. Cook, US Army National Guard, has sued the Army for release from his deployment orders to Afghanistan on the grounds that President Obama hasn’t proven his US citizenship. Turns out he’s engaging in Piltdown politics. Doug Mataconis … Continue reading
The Cost of Nontroversy
Remember when I said that Big Media’s manufactured controversy over Obama’s use of new media was allowing the wingnuts to stovepipe their insanity? In a blog post titled “The Cost of Controlling the Press,” K. Daniel Glover complains that the … Continue reading
Sunday Sermon: Meet The Press
Last week saw a flurry of triumphal denunciations of Obama for “controlling” the questions at his health care town hall meeting. Tellingly, the attacks began before the town hall began. CBS News’ Chip Reid and Hearst News’ Helen Thomas tore … Continue reading
Print is Dead: Linking Edition
Richard Posner advocates an incredibly stupid idea: Expanding copyright law to bar online access to copyrighted materials without the copyright holder’s consent, or to bar linking to or paraphrasing copyrighted materials without the copyright holder’s consent, might be necessary to … Continue reading
Sanford’s Great Escape (UPDATE)
South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford hasn’t been seen since last Thursday. After much to-do and speculation, his office said he was hiking the Appalachian Trail and didn’t wish to be disturbed. That only brought further ballyhooing from some who pointed … Continue reading
