In Which the Washington Bureau Chief Mocks a Terrible Law Article for Fun

by Eileen | 12:46 am, March 1, 2013

Blogging is easy.  Just tool around the ‘net until you see something that reaches new heights in stupidity – won’t take long – and then spleen about it. Today’s new least favorite human is Jana M. McCreary, authoress of  “Mentally Defective” Language in the Gun Control Act in the newest issue of the Connecticut Law [...]

by T.L. James | 11:53 pm, February 28, 2013

Last week, one of Colorado’s more prolific Progressive tweeters was caught out misrepresenting the conclusions of a study on gun violence, claiming that the study reported certain things about women gun owners when in fact women were not mentioned separately in the methodology or conclusions. Today, when prodded about it in a manner intentionally mirroring [...]

Do We Now Get to Call Joe Salazar a “Rapist”?

by T.L. James | 8:13 am, February 19, 2013

I mean, that’s what lefties did to Ken Buck, after all: equated his treatment of an unprosecutable rape case with him being a rapist himself. Now, Joe Salazar’s comments yesterday are nothing like what Ken Buck did (no…they’re actually bad). But that won’t matter a bit. In a few days, this will all blow over [...]

A Banal, Mendacious State of the Union

by Eileen | 9:34 pm, February 12, 2013

Well, what can I say?  There are only three of these fatuous orgies of self-flattery left to go. The cybersecurity executive order and snide demand that Congress produce a bill to the President’s specifications was foreseen.  By me.  Told you you so.  Told you so.  Told you so. I just loved that abuse of the [...]

To kick off 2013, I’m sharing five things we can do to correct our sorry performance in recent elections.  So far, I’ve averred on wasteful [...]

What’s Wrong with the Center-Right and Five Ways to Make it…er…Right

by Eileen | 5:43 pm, January 2, 2013

If the Republican Party were a private company, it would be in need of a bailout and Republican politicians would be     calling for the state to allow it to fail. 2013 finds me glum, even forlorn. In no small part, this owes to what 2012 set us up for. And that, in turns, may be [...]
