In particular, some have speculated that the [...]
You simply couldn’t make this stuff up. FrontPageMag.com is the wingnuttiest site in the world. Look at this lunacy: Rooted in ancient custom, consanguinity is nonetheless widespread in the Arab world; for example, a 1989 study in Iraq found 53 percent of the subjects to be consanguineously married. One result is the prevalence of extended [...]
Michael Reagan, in an apparent bid for Wingnut of the Decade, has crushed the competition with the worst attack on Cindy Sheehan I’ve seen thus far. Look at this garbage: In this case it could well be that Cindy Sheehan is projecting her rage at George Bush when the one she really despises is her [...]
Today’s Friday, and this time you’re actually getting the Friday MP3s on a Friday, readers. Do I have my shit together now, or what? This week, the featured artist is Front 242, the Belgian industrial pioneers, a particular favorite of mine, part of my personal musical pantheon. Front 242 was basically synonymous with “industrial” during [...]
Here’s a post from “David’s Blog,” in its entirety, original hyperlinks inclusive: Cindy Sheehan has joined Michael Moore as a cheerleader for the Zarqawi freedom fighters.

Last week, readers, you got the Friday MP3s a day early. This week, you’re getting them a day late. Isn’t that symmetrical? It’s reggae this week.

Who, readers, seems to have consumed the most wingnut Kool-Aid over the past couple of weeks? Was it the execrable Ann Coulter? To expiate the pain of losing her firstborn son in the Iraq war, Cindy Sheehan decided to cheer herself up by engaging in Stalinist agitprop outside President Bush’s Crawford ranch. It’s the strangest [...]
The Herndon (Va.) Town Council has approved an official gathering point for day laborers, despite the efforts of a West Coast talk-radio host to solve the problem by exhorting listeners to call the mayor’s office and “melt that switchboard.” The Herndon Town Council last night approved the creation of a formal, taxpayer-funded gathering spot for [...]
It’s pretty tough to be Michelle Malkin. After her incredible display of courage on the 14th, when she gleefully posted the news of Cindy Sheehan’s husband’s petition for divorce, a lot of mean liberals said bad things about her.
