blogging: Page 1

Needless to say, there are far too many examples of the incompetence of rightwing bloggers than I could ever cover. However, to pick one out of the hat, take a look at the reaction to "The Puzzle of Black Republicans" by University of Pennsylvania professor Adolph L. Reed Jr (link). In it - among other things - he implies to-be-appointed Senator Tim Scott from South Carolina is a token and says...

Rush Limbaugh recently used the word "slut" when discussing Congressional testimony given by one Sandra Fluke [1]. That activated yet another battle in the leftwing's long-term war to get him off the air, and their latest effort has been more successful than others: several sponsors have dropped their ads from his show. One of them even dropped off after Limbaugh issued an apology. What would be...

Joseph Fein is a blogger and political analyst who, as will be shown below, isn't a credible source. He describes himself as a political analyst involved with fundraising and research and as a legislative analyst involved with appropriations and Central Asia oil and history. And, he recently attacked me on his blog "Valley of the Shadows" [1] and did so in a way that shows he has trouble...

... modern version of this site. "Blogging" was just starting - at least under that name - and I originally started this site as a satire of "bloggers"... * Politics slowly became the focus of this site, but also with the occasional bout of "wacky" "humor"... * A thousand posts (or so) later in February 2004, I wrote this post detailing all the accomplishments of this site until that time. Nowadays...

... BELOW] This is way too deep into blogging for me, but I'll persevere. Ann Althouse conducted a poll to determine who's more of a hack: Glenn Reynolds or Andrew Sullivan. Althouse is, of course, a Reynolds partisan. I left a comment [1] on the poll that was critical of both (albeit more critical of Reynolds). Someone then left a pseudononymous nastygram reply [2]. Thankfully, that polling...

The following cartoon from Chris Muir is, as are many others of his cartoons, unintentionally hilarious (link). While Ed Morrissey does occasionally say the smart thing, both he and Allahpundit more often than not fall into the go-along-get-along mode and, while they're offering plenty of Sonia Sotomayor coverage they aren't exactly going as far as this. As for those rightwing blogs, most of them...

Starting on April 1, the Pajamas Media network will stop serving up ads to a network of major blogs and will be concentrating on their video line instead. You know, the video line that features talking head shows with worthless minor pundits and that I can't imagine anyone being interested in. Read the Dear Blogger letter they sent here. I'm having trouble working up much sympathy, since some in...

Based on a "directive" from Jimmy Wales [1], the English version of Wikipedia has started using the "nofollow" tag on all external links (the foreign language versions had been doing that for a while). That tag tells search engines to not pass any "search engine juice" (e.g., PageRank) from the WP page to the linked page. While sites that have links in WP will continue to receive visitors from...
