A while back, Iowahawk was wondering what the next Journolist revelation would be. Not content to wait and see, he wrote it himself. Like everything he writes, it’s funny and contains many swear words. Here’s how he wraps it up: KEITH OLBERMANN: Say, would any of you boys care to join me over at Chatroulette tonight? SPENCER ACKERMAN [...] That’s the leap Powerline Blog takes today. An exorbitant leap, at that. Considering his esprit as well as well as the splash of his Web sites, it seems to me that Andrew Breitbart may be the Wililam Buckley of the Internet Age — part journalist, part showman, part conservative visionary and ideological [...] House Dems are mad at Obama for lack of support. The boiling point came Tuesday night during a closed-door meeting of House Democrats in the Capitol. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) excoriated White House press secretary Robert Gibbs’s public comments over the weekend that the House majority was in doubt and that it would [...] I have no doubt that Mel Gibson said some horrible awful things. I also have no doubt that this last bit will be difficult if not impossible to overcome career-wise. I also have no doubt that he needs some serious and deep help. I also have no doubt his girlfriend set him [...] I haven’t been to the blog Democratic Underground since the 2008 election…. I used to go every once in awhile to keep track of the scum to see what they were doing, but when I saw they hadn’t changed from 2001 to 2008 I finally gave up the semi-annual visits. If you want [...] I finally had a chance to read Eric’s well argued rebuttal to my post about soccer. I didn’t find much I disagreed with in Eric’s rebuttal or the many comments. I think my original post was poorly written and I’d like to clarify my position. The title of my post was, “Why Americans Don’t Watch [...] Before commencing with the John McClaughlin-esque breakdown of what inexplicably turned into a war between socialism and capitalism (???), quick disclaimers: I honestly can’t name more than 2-3 players on the US World Cup team and I don’t envision changing anybody’s mind about soccer. We like what we like and while it would be nice [...] More Black Sheep than the standard 30 second TV spot and one of the few times I didn’t mind an ad in place of a movie trailer, as seen before The A-Team yesterday. Hopefully not too low-brow and/or urban for Capt. Pinot JohnFN. Share on Facebook There has been a bit of discussion about higher education. We’ve got a bit of a battle brewing over whether it’s better for young folks to learn hands on, practical skills, or spend a few years immersed in the humanities, getting a foundation in the classics. It’s an interesting debate, and I have my thoughts, but [...] Meet the Trzuprs, circa 1995. Clockwise from top-left: Gene, Ger, Stosh, Dorts and moi. Since we’ve been discussing sibling abuse, how about posting some of the best/worst crap that was done to you by a sibling, or that you did to a sibling. (Feel free to substitute cousins or friends, if you’re an “only”). [...] The words Pete Wehner of Commentary used to describe Sarah Palin following her commentary on the Rand Paul fiasco. In any event, in the course of the interview with Chris Wallace, Ms. Palin did what she often does: she aimed her rhetorical guns at the media. The lesson from the Rand Paul encounter, she [...] Last week I linked to an article by Claire Berlinski in City Journal decrying the dearth of access, interest, and translations of old Soviet archives. It appears, according to Ron Radosh — author of Red Star Over Hollywood: The Film Colony’s Long Romance with the Left — that Berlisnki’s article was inaccurate and unfair [...] So we’re getting ready for school this morning and my 10 year old son looks at my 4 year old (pictured above) son and says, “You’re mean.” 4-year old sets his face and says “Why? Because of this?!?” (followed by a kick to the left shin) “Or because of this?!?” (swiftly followed by [...] Rich continues to spread his um… “influence” — now he’s at Big Hollywood. Coming soon… Rich takes a bubble bath with Andrew Breitbart. Kudos to Rich and we are not in the least bit envious — unless he’s getting paid. When one of us is successful one of us benefits. Share on [...] This looks like a good read. The son of one of the founders of Hamas has written a book detailing his cooperation with Israeli intelligence forces. From the AP: Speaking with Haaretz, Yousef said Shin Bet agents first approached him in prison in 1996 and proposed he infiltrate the upper echelons of Hamas. He did so successfully and [...] I thought some of you might be interested in this story in The New York Times Magazine about Charles Johnson and his Little Green Footballs blog. When I first got on the internet, I’d heard of three blogs: the Drudge Report, Powerline, and Little Green Footballs. I don’t visit any of them now, but they were [...] Obama — getting bashed from the left. A masterful job of editing… and very telling. h/t: The Corner Share on Facebook Rich, I think it’s more than a radical element within the faith. This ebbs and flows throughout history in direct proportion to how much power Islam has within a country, or the world. Mohammed (and his twin, Muhammed) was a religious leader AND a political leader. He led the citizens of Mecca for decades, and he [...] In yesterday’s open thread, the subject of Nancy Pelosi’s recent Newsweek interview arose. First, let’s get this out of the way: the interviewer is—oy!—Eleanor Clift. So if you click through and read it, you’ll see questions like this: I think a lot of people thought that once President Obama was elected, we wouldn’t see the traditional bargaining [...] I spent the Christmas weekend up at my sister’s house in Monroe, Connecticut. It’s a lovely town a little north of Bridgeport, and the first taste of real New England you get when you’re driving north from New York City. There are beautiful hills and woods, churches and gazebos, lovely leaves in the fall and there [...] “any resemblance to cardboard is purely coincidental” For those of you who many not read every post and every comment (I know, I skip over most of Floyd and JohnFN’s stuff too) you may have missed a comment from trzupr to one of his seventeen siblings regarding something called, “oplatek.” Being a Polish word there is [...]
Rich has done some excellent reporting on “Climategate.” From what I’ve heard, Russia has been pin-pointed as the source of the hack that made the CRU e-mails public. Not a surprise. Russia is chock-full of expert computer hackers. However, I haven’t heard any speculation in the media about this aspect of the story. Rich, what do [...] The Weekly Standard has an interesting piece on Belgium’s troubles in keeping itself together. The second thing he insists on is that Americans may have an especially hard time seeing what is wrong with Belgian federalism as it now exists. With its already enormous devolutions of political authority to Flanders and Wallonia, Belgium now [...] Oh, goodie, another Rush live album. Not just any ol’ studio album-tour-live album-live DVD, rinse-cycle-repeat variety live album, either. No, no. Why buck band tradition with something like that during the holiday season when a non-concert compilation of many shows through the years will be more than enough, thank ya kindly. Please, Geddy, Alex and Neil, [...] Share on Facebook Kenn writes: My theory – listen up all you naturalists/nature freaks, out there – is that capitalism is natural – socialism/communism are mechanisms devised by man to subvert the natural process. Capitalism, is almost a perfect reflection of the natural word – those that hunt and gather have a greater chance of survival than those [...] JohnFN, In response to your VDH post on the culture: Just followed the link and read the piece. I see two things; one, as VDH touched on, is VDH is aging. The simplest analogy is “Oldies Stations.” There is a reason every town has a big enough audience to fund one radio station airing the hits [...] I realize that this subject line guarantees every one will click through as fast as humanly possible, but at least I can say that I warned the rest of you. My conscience is clear. Well, about this anyway. Almost. Share on Facebook Why do I think this seems the way -Mike! signs on to post here? NSFW… Share on Facebook I think you do not appropriately understand this anniversary: Proper respect young whippersnapper! Share on Facebook This has been around for a while, but I like the way it captures the spirit of Threedonia… Share on Facebook
Wait, wait, how about if I give you free health care and $4,500 for your clunker chariots… I have been very busy at my day job (which lately has also been my night and weekend job) and didn’t have sufficient time to comment on this post by the inimitable, Kyle Smith. First, let me say [...] Just a quick note to Wade Boggs, who recently complained that his number has not been retired by the Boston Red Sox: You wanted to become a Yankee, let them retire your number. The linked Boston Globe article claims that,”the Red Sox have had a policy of not retiring numbers unless the player finished his career as a [...] An interesting piece at Politico gives us a little behind-the-scenes look at the last days of the McCain campaign. Remember the repeated leaks from “top campaign staffers” which sought to discredit Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin? William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard, implies that they came from Steve Schmidt, McCain’s campaign manager. Kristol cited a passage [...] From the San Francisco Chronicle: A homeless man is on trial in San Mateo County on charges that he smacked a fellow transient in the face with a skateboard as the victim was engaged in a conversation about quantum physics, authorities said Wednesday. Jason Everett Keller, 40, allegedly accosted another homeless man, Stephan Fava, on the 200 [...] RF3D — now featuring the meaty goodness of Mike Kriskey, the newest member of Threedonia’s blogging family — welcomes author and filmmaker Michael Mandaville to the contained lunacy. “Motivation” might as well be his middle name, too, as he gives the gang of two (and you, our loyal listeners) a primer on his latest book, [...] I’m a big fan of Eric and sincerely admire all that he’s been able to accomplish with his talents, for want of a better word. I look forward to reading his music reviews, if for no other reason than that I enjoy the occasional blood pressure spike as much as the next guy. Because he doesn’t [...] Rockrimmon CC security cameras catch Mike as he sits in his hovel trying to mate his claymates “Harvey” and “Phil”. I have begun to worry about Mike as he seems to have become obsessed with A/V Club, the Little Rascals, and various other things. Luckily, he has left his caddy hovel at the [...] We’ll do this Mike-style! No pictures, no explanations, no debate, no nothin’. Top 5 Favorite Lunar Expeditions. So.
