Ace - Craig T. Nelson (Yeah the actor), Revolutionary - Who would have guessed?
Patterico - Bill O'Reilly: Hypocrite - The other day Bill O'Reilly went after Michelle Malkin and Hot Air for "racist blog posting". In actuality it was a comment in which a visitor to the site referred to President Obama as Hussein. When called on it O'Reilly was called on his misrepresentation he responded by saying "Miss Malkin is upset because I didn’t identify the “Hussein” comment was made by a civilian — not her or her staff. And that’s true. I should have been more precise. But we often cite hateful civilian comments on blogs and say they should be edited, as we do on billoreilly.com.". At that point Patterico decided it was time to call O'Reilly on his unmitigated bullshit so he joined billoreilly.com and looked up the commenting policy - "BillOReilly.com does not control or pre-screen the files, information, or messages (referred to collectively as “Information”) delivered to or displayed in the Message Boards, unless otherwise noted therein, and BillOReilly.com assumes no duty to, and does not monitor or endorse Information within the Message Boards." Patterico has now started posting offensive, unpoliced, postings found on BillOReilly.com. the first two are here and here. I hope Patterico jams it up O'Reilly's blowhard ass and breaks it off.
Hot Air - follows up on the O'Reilly issue - a commenter observes it's like they are following Rule 4 of Stacy McCain's How to get a million blog hits strategy
Slashdot - An argument for leaving DNS control in US hands - The actual article is slightly technical but worth reading and makes a good case for why the US should maintain control of the domain name infrastructure. I don't really encourage people to write their congressmen often but this is something worth writing about.
The Art of Manliness - Become a Renaissance Man Without Spending a Dime - In a battle of wits I am basically unarmed so I bookmarked this one
Wizbang - American Education System Needs a Monopoly-Buster - I basically stopped reading Wizbang because Paul was such a douchebag, but they are still on my feed reader and every once in a while a title catches my eye.
Alabama in Between - Coulter pwns Carville re: Soto - Not often that someone can shut James Carville up.
The Other McCain - What DealerGate Says About the Conservative 'Message' Problem - And this is also why I don't want to hear any lectures from Michael Goldfarb about a deficit of "online partisan reporting." If there is such a deficit, it's because (a) almost nobody in the GOP knows anything about the news business; and (b) conservative donors are either unwilling to pay for reporting or don't know who to hire to get the job done.
I agree. I am not a professional journalist or political operative and I know that I could do a better job directing messaging operations for the GOP than the idiots they have.
