"This was the voice of moderation until 13 Sept, 2025"

“I have become bored and petulant, Igor. I grow weary of tormenting baby harp seals in front of chained ecoterrorists and stealing the ozone layer, all the while framing Noam Chomsky for the crime. I think that it is time to feed the commentgators.”
That’s what my girlfriend says when I announce that I’m off to the computer and tap-tap-type my way into the night when all sensible human beings are asleep. BAH! Sleep is for the WEAK!
Err, right. Anyway, I was going to go find a convenient internet cafe or Kinko’s or something over my lunch break and fire off a quick nonpolitical post, except that, well, I saw my local Barnes & Noble bookstore. It had the latest Orson Scott Card Alvin Maker book. That threw all thoughts of lunchblogging out the window.

GRATUITOUS INSTAPUNDIT SHOT!!!!!
(pause)
A shame I can’t increase font size.
Still, what is a GRATUITOUS INSTAPUNDIT SHOT!!!!!, I hear you ask? Simple: I go look at Instapundit, find something that he’s linked to and talk about that. Unlike Frank over at IMAO (a sometimes guilty pleasure of mine), I am above attempting to leech links from the Zombi Mast… excuse me, ‘Instadude’. Not that I’d object if Loyal Minions started boostering this site, mind you.

While I have nothing against anime – indeed, my lifestyle is such that I am periodically exposed to it, and I quite like some of the stuff – I wish to note that the name of this blog has nothing to do with this site; it’s parallel evolution. The geekcontent of the name of this … Read more
By Moe Lane Via Matt Yglesias’* link to LGF** following Matt’s comment on an Instapundit*** post (and doesn’t all of that seem odd to type out) there’s a copy of a Weekly Standard article by Stephen F. Hayes detailing a memo that traces the links between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda from the early 1990s … Read more
The beginning of the second to last sentence of the angriest Lileks Bleat I have ever read. Not that I’m disagreeing with him about most of it, mind you. Especially about the zombis.* Moe *I had a pretty good riff going on about how I probably wasn’t going to do link posts like this one … Read more
