I’m-a gonna tell you how it’s gonna be – Charles Hardin Holley So anyway… About a week ago I informed my lovely hostess, Jane Hamsher, that I was going to pull the plug on this Popsicle stand (AKA “pulling a billmon” although I have never come close to approaching his genius) because my real life [...]

  Batocchio of Vagabond Scholar has once again courageously taken up the mantle of the Late Great Jon Swift and complied The Best Of Blogging 2012 (Non-Wingnut Division) as chosen by the bloggers themselves. This is your opportunity to be introduced to some new bloggers as well as relive 2012 with some old favorites before [...]

Even though our heart is not into it (there … I have just lowered expectations) I will be live twitter-twatting the VP debate tonight between Uncle Joe Biden, who is our favoritest uncle of all time because he tells fart jokes at the Thanksgiving table, and zombie-eyed granny-starver Paul Ryan who, we just discovered, is [...]

I will be twitter-twatting tonight’s Presidential debate between (in the Blah Corner) Barack “The Kenyan Usurper” Obama and (in the Whitebread With Mayo Corner) Willard “The Mormon Mangler” Romney. With the help of internet technology-magic (or magyck for you Renaissance Faire freaks) and the FDL IT nerd-elves, we hope to have a twitter feed on [...]

Young Master Wembley. And Fenway’s middle third in the background. I will be twitter-twatting the DNC convention on the twitter machine tonight because I have already seen every episode of Law & Order SVU. And, yes, Wembley is getting a mani-pedi this weekend.

Over the weekend I pointed out on the Twitter that the Occupy group, seven to eight hundred strong, that had traveled to Charlotte was parading around the  financial district, each member with a specific grievance  all their own. The obvious absurdity of the march is the efficacy of marching on the mean, to say nothing [...]

I came home to this last night: …and I’m going to assume that George Tierney also apologized to Sandra Fluke, and from what I can tell of her demeanor I’m going to assume that she graciously accepted it,  but since Twitter has elected to suspend George Tierney’s account  we may never know. Having said that, [...]

According to internet futurist John Hinderaker, when it comes to Twitter-twatting, conservatives are kicking ass and taking LOL’s: The Left Is Getting Clobbered on Twitter We are in the early stages of the 2012 campaign season, with a lot of battlespace preparation going on. In the skirmishing so far, one perhaps surprising media advantage has become clear: [...]

Michigan’s boyfriend until someone better comes along, Mitt Romney, regurgitated another one of his focus-group approved mad-libs Tuesday night about “saving the soul of America”; presumably he meant saving America’s soul from THAT BLACK MAN who, until 1978, would have been considered even more of a second class citizen within the Mormon church than he [...]

Oh  just stop it, you guys. Why not Santorum? If you believe the new CNN/Time poll numbers out of Iowa — and some are questioning the survey’s methodology — then Rick Santorum is the latest GOP presidential candidate to begin to surge, jumping 11 points in less than a month.
