“A Fount of Nonsense Who Exasperated Everyone He Talked To”

by T.L. James | 7:51 am, January 13, 2011

Dave “JournoList” Weigel digs around at AboveTopSecret and discovers what may be some postings from Jared Loughner, under the userid “Erad3″: If the NASA Space Shuttle is able to reenter from the orbit of the Earth then the NASA Space Shuttle is able to reenter because of the heat of 1,500 °C. The NASA Space [...]

The Intentional Fatalism of the Anti-Nuclear Movement

by T.L. James | 10:18 pm, December 15, 2010

If surviving a nuclear war is actually fairly straightforward, why cultivate such a deep sense of futility about even trying? Why cut funding for Civil Defense, why ridicule “duck and cover”, and why make demoralizing movies like “Testament” or “The Day After”?

Patdowns on the Slopes

by T.L. James | 9:10 pm, December 1, 2010

Apparently we have to be wary of pantybombers on ski slopes now, too. Long Arm of the Law It’s a windless morning at Steamboat Ski Resort, and Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” pulses through a bright Gondola Square. Shuffling across the slushy snow, skiers line up to board the Steamboat Gondola, but first they must unzip, [...]

Ken Buck Date Rape Case and Social Media

by T.L. James | 8:17 pm, October 24, 2010

Chuck Plunkett in the dPost observes the launch and spread of a social media news meme – Trick or Tweet: On Oct. 10, bloggers friendly to the left started chattering about the case on the Colorado Pols website. The next day, a blogger for the progressive Colorado Independent site posted an interview with the accuser, [...]

Real Gubernatorial Genius

…is in short supply in Colorado this year, but Todd and Justin at Complete Colorado are at least having some fun with the unfunny situation.
Republican (sigh) Walter Mitty, Dan Maes:

Old Media vs. New Media

by T.L. James | 8:55 pm, March 19, 2010

A simple illustration of the difference between old media and new media: The camera on the left was used by C-SPAN to tape (on a separate tape deck and 8″ CRT) the appearance by Ambassador Paul Bremer at the recent Leadership Program of the Rockies annual retreat. In regular definition. For later uploading to the [...]

Colorado Senate Majority Leader John Morse Goes All Shakespearian on Amazon.com

by T.L. James | 8:57 pm, March 9, 2010

Master Thespian John Morse, Colorado Senate Majority Leader, goes off on a rant over Amazon.com’s small act of defiance against his tax increase and privacy invasion. This is so laughable it has to be seen to be believed/appreciated: For those who don’t know, the Democrat-controlled Colorado legislature two weeks ago passed what have come to [...]

The Scott Heard Round the World

by T.L. James | 12:13 am, January 20, 2010

Despite my relief at the Scott Brown victory, I’m going to be a voice of sobriety here: important though it may prove to be, this is one victory. One. Brown’s win may or may not derail the nationalization of healthcare, depending on whether Obama, Pelosi, and Reid “double down” in an all-out push to ram through [...]

by T.L. James | 9:54 pm, January 9, 2010

It seems the Women in Black Silent Vigil For Peace (who I last observed observing something less than a moment of silence) have given up their first-Saturday protest outside Colorado Mills in Golden… Did President Obama end the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and neglect to tell anyone (except the Women in Black, apparently)?  (The [...]
