On Nov. 25, I warned that Thanksgiving marks the onset of Holiday Traffic Suckage Season, when traffic to blogs plummets.

OMFG: Katy Couric Says, ‘Maybe We Need a Muslim Version of ‘The Cosby Show’

Yes, she really said that. When I heard the audio Steve Foley posted at the Minority Report, I could scarcely believe it. How could anyone — even Katie Couric — be so incredibly stupid as to say this aloud? “Maybe we need a Muslim version of ‘The Cosby Show.’ . . . I know it [...]

Why Do Public Schools Exist?
Because You Hate Your Children

“Is a mediocre education worth risking the parent-child relationship? Not when home-schooled children typically out-perform their public school counterparts by 30-37 percentile points across the board. Socializing all day . . . is apparently not the most sensible way to nurture or instruct a child.” – Sam Sorbo, “Troubled Teens Born in the Classroom”

VIDEO: Dueling A**holes

OK, everybody knows there’s no love lost between me and Barrett Brown. But even I must admit that the boy has just entered the realm of YouTube legend.

Have They Blamed Global Warming Yet?

Late last night this headline moved via the Drudge Tweet: Rare hurricane-strength winds batter L.A. area; more snow and ice on way Rather than post it last night, I forward-scheduled it for this morning.

My 2011 Prediction

This is the time of year when people do “Year in Review” roundups and make predictions for the coming year. Some people do those “Top 10″-style lists, but the work-to-reward ratio on that stuff is way too high for me. If I wanted to work that hard, I wouldn’t be a blogger. So I decided [...]

Late Entry in the ‘Stupidest Things Liberals Said in 2010′ Sweepstakes

Harvard-educated Ezra Klein updates Orwell’s famous maxim: “One has to work at The Washington Post to believe things like that. No ordinary man could be such a fool.” On MSNBC, Klein was asked about plans of the 112th Congress to read the Constitution aloud: “Yes, it’s a gimmick. I mean, you could say two things [...]

Natalie Portman Explains Why Lesbian Scenes Are Like CGI Special Effects in 3-D

Whatever it takes to sell tickets: “Everyone was so worried about who was going to want to see this movie [The Black Swan] . . . I remember them being like, ‘How do you get guys to a ballet movie? How do you get girls to a thriller?’ And the answer is a lesbian scene. [...]

She’s More Catholic Than the Pope

Lisa Graas wants to update the “about” page on her blog, and is looking for commendations from other bloggers, so there’s mine.
