Greenwald points out that even Garrison Keillor has joined the pathetic choir of feel-good liberals who seem to think the best way to deal with war crimes and a violation of the core values represented in the Constitution is to “keep on walking” (in the unforgettable words of Peggy Noonan). Really, now. Explain again how…

The Grey Lady aka the New York Times goes feral… That’s the spirit, New York Times: when your brand is in the shitter, you’ve pawned your headquarters and sold out any remaining journalistic integrity you had left by hiring and retaining a coterie of clowns and craptacular pundits, what you really want to do to…

Seriously, WTF? BURLINGTON – A pillow fight organized as a “flash mob” event drew about 50 participants, and police charged one of them with disorderly conduct. The incident Friday outside Burlington Town Center mall lasted about two minutes, part of a fad in which people – after organizing online – suddenly materialize in a public…

Received a package today with some random massive books on health-related stuff. Oh, and an invoice for same, with a claim that I’d ordered the books online. I never did and had never heard of the outfit before. The name on the “account” was off, too; looks like a bad scan of a rented mailing…

Afghanistan’s President, Hamid Karzai, has signed a law which “legalises” rape, women’s groups…

… if it actually, you know, ever happened. So, Sir Change-A-Lot and his fellow travellers have decided to punt the not-so-difficult task of actually reversing the repellant and embarrassing Don’t-Ask-Don’t-Tell rules. I guess The Pentagon really likes being seen as a relic of the dark ages… Or, as spokesman Gibbs told Faux News: “I think…

Yeah, so Thinkprogress isn’t too smart about their campaign to get advertisers off O’Reilly’s air — astroturfing a standard form email to a bunch of them at the same time is just really not the way to go. But the fundamental idea is a good way — and it clearly has potential, viz. UPS pulling…
