As Senator Harry Reid (D-Mt. Crumpit) rammed the Democrats’ health care overhaul legislation through the Senate, many conservative bloggers, pundits and even the New York Times reported the various payoffs to certain Senators to secure their votes. Now, some bloggers, pundits and policy wonks (having the time the [...]
As more information comes out about the content of the books Kevin Jennings’ organization GLSEN finds appropriate for children in Grades 7-12, I have yet to find any heads of gay organizations or even non-conservative gay bloggers taking Kevin Jennings to task for his lax supervision of conferences he [...]
Whenever a mainstream conservative blogger addresses attempts by right-wing fringe groups to exclude gays from our movement, his commentary reflects the experiences Bruce and I have had with our fellow denizens of the rightosphere. Our fellow bloggers may not support state recognition of same-sex marriage or oppose the Don’t [...]
In a must-read piece at BigHollywood, my friend Charles Winecoff explores an aspect of the Kevin Jennings kerfuffle that we have only touched on here and which other conservative bloggers (save perhaps Ed Morrissey) have all but ignored. Not only does Charles call out Media Matters for their [...]
The Orange County Register reported that a blogger for Red County was being paid by the Poizner campaign team. This particular blogger who operated under the alias Sgt. York had been overtly pro-Poizner in his posts. I guess now we know why.

I don’t get to go to Drinking Liberally all that much, but when I do, there’s a non-stop lobbying job by my fellow bloggers to get me to [...]
Sean Mill and I are friends. I know that sentence makes some of my co-bloggers here uneasy at best and angry at worst. I’ve never had a problem with Sean and I don’t think he’s had one with me. [...]
While I have faulted the President in private conversations for his “dithering” on Afghanistan, I have barely touched on the subject on this blog. It’s not that I don’t think the issue is important, it’s just that I think pundits and other bloggers have pretty much said all that needs [...]
I enjoy Michelle Malkin’s blog and find that while her rhetoric is sometimes a bit overheated, she always gets her facts right. During the 2008 campaign, for example, when other conservative bloggers breathlessly covered the “Drudge-promoted story of a McCain volunteer claiming to have been attacked by a black [...]
