Gannon Galore

Filed under Media

If you’re like me and you haven’t bothered with watching Jeff Gannon stories on tv Crooks and Liars compresses a lot of bunk, media hysteria, and Lefty time-wasting into one 13-minute package.

Milwaukee Officers Charged

Filed under Wisconsin

It’s one thing to be cautious and complete, but District Attorney E. Michael McCann just loves to take his sweet time in filing charges. It took months for him to file charges against the Election Day tire slashers. In the case of Frank Jude, it took McCann over three months to charge three Milwaukee police […]

Post-CPAC

Filed under CPAC 2005
Comments Off

CPAC was the first on-site TAM operation. Going in I didn’t know what to expect. I actually did some preparation, but that was wasted in the first few hours. What I did expect was the unexpected.
Let’s face it, there wasn’t a whole lot of news breaking at CPAC. Both Karl Rove and Vice President Dick […]

Who’s Hotter?–Blogosphere Edition

Filed under Weblogging

At CPAC when Cam Edwards showed me the picture of his weblogging cohort I knew what I had to do. So I ask for your judgement. Who’s hotter

Farrah
or…

Michele?

UPDATE: Brian J. had the best answer: “Yes.”

Post-Oscar Recap

Filed under Culture

I’m shocked the Oscars ended by 11:00 CST. Here’s what you need to know: some movie you didn’t watch won for best picture; some actors won for performances you didn’t see; and The Incredibles won.
As for Alien vs. Predator it wasn’t pathetic bad. It wasn’t great though. For a movie starring aliens and predators there […]

Countering Churchill’s Hate

Filed under Wisconsin

Bob Trapp offers this information on a counter-demonstration at Tuesday’s Ward Churchill event:
RALLY TO SUPPORT VICTIMS OF 9-11
Walworth GOP Chairman Tyler August forwarded this information to me.
The Whitewater College Republicans are holding a rally to support the victims of 9-11, as a more positive way of protesting the expected appearance of radical leftist professor […]

Oscar, Schmoscar

Filed under Culture

There will be no liveblogging of the Oscars at TAM. That awards show takes the cake for being long and drawn out. I don’t care who’s wearing what dress by whatever designer. I don’t care who thanks who after winning whatever award. I’ll just be watching the wires to find out who won. Since I’ve […]

Obligatory Namrata Link

I have no reason for linking to this other than Namrata is so damn hot.

Syria Feeling the Pressure

Filed under War
Comments Off

Syria turns over Saddam’s half-brother. Hmm… This news definitely gives ammunition to those who think Saddam’s WMD were moved to Syria. More importantly this is a sign Syria is feeling the pressure. Those Baathists must think they’re in President Bush’s crosshairs. I wonder how ally Iran thinks about Syria caving so easily.

I Don’t Buy It

Filed under Music

Fred Durst isn’t hate hackers even though one of them stole a sex video from his home computer. He actually said this is “causing awareness for homeland security.”
To me this just reeks of a publicity stunt. If that was Durst’s plan it’s working.

Beyond “Compassionate Conservatism”

Filed under Economics

If Myron Magnet is correct “compassionate conservatism” is only a different method of statism. In no way is it a reduction in the role of government. He writes,
Implicit in compassionate conservatism was the epochal paradigm shift that is now all but explicit. Taken together, compassionate conservatism’s elements added up to a sweeping rejection of liberal […]

I Did It All for the Publicity

Filed under Music
Comments Off

How convenient. A washed up rock star has a porno tape put on the internet. Even better it gets tied into Paris Hilton’s hacked Sidekick. Call me cynical, but I think Fred Durst did this for a little more than nookie.

Combining sweets with death is sick. But when it’s “just a clump of cells” it’s an event.
