Few bloggers have had quite as controversial a career as Little Green Football’s Charles Johnson. Johnson began blogging in earnest back in 2001 after the attacks on the twin towers, and continues putting out content...
Another embarrassing moment for Deadspin. It’s almost as if you shouldn’t run completely unsubstantiated, unverified stories from functionally anonymous emailers and then convince yourself that there’s some, like, totally deep and challenging thinking behind...
Via David Weigel, I see The New York Post is getting sued for workplace harassment. The allegations of sexual and racial abuse are pretty bad, but The Huffington Post also reports that “the publication’s...
Russell Arben Fox asks: How should a distributist or localist or communitarian in America feel about proposals which would attempt to provide the same sort of equalization which Democratic party reformers are squawking about,...
I’m not sure if Daniel Larison’s latest column should be interpreted as an endorsement of McChrystal’s political independence or his actual strategy for Afghanistan, but it’s worth reading in full. His criticism of the...
…which, for football purposes, includes South Florida. In 2005, the Big East – long a basketball-heavy conference – lost three of its five traditionally strong football programs to the ACC, while one of the remaining...

I wanted to briefly respond to a few points inspired by Sonny Bunch’s defense of the death penalty from last week. First, Andrew Sullivan suggests I have “mixed feelings” about executing prisoners. Well, not...

Emmanuel Faye wants to get Heidegger out of the canon because he was a Nazi. Hey, you know who were really good at getting books out of the canon? The Nazis! They just fucking...
At my True/Slant digs I talk about abortion and federal subsidies, the affable yet befuddled Michael Steele, abortion again, and Christianity & healthcare reform (among other things). If you’re interested stop by and leave...
I don’t have time to comment on it fully, but Sonny Bunch’s Friday column for the Washington Times is faaan-tastic! Will conservatives get – and celebrate – the subtleties of [Untitled]’s broadside on post-modern...
Andrew Sullivan on his intellectual consistency: I was appalled by the anti-Semitism buried within ANSWER – the left-wing equivalent of the Tea Party peeps – their paranoia and their ad Hitlerum daffiness. I railed...
I have no idea whether this is Conor Friedersdorf taking our recent criticisms to heart or if this is something he’s been working on for awhile, but his debate with John Hawkins at Right Wing...
