THE WEBSITE THAT STARTED IT ALL - STRANGE BUT TRUE
Republican perverts menacing the nation's youth?

PLEASE ELIMINATE THE WORD "ELIMINATIONIST"...AND THOSE WHO USE THE TERM
All eliminationist rhetoric is not equal
I'd like to examine what I consider to be a textbook example of genuine eliminationist rhetoric. (As opposed to the highly questionable variety discussed by Rick Moran.) I found the above picture at post by Tammy Bruce titled "Hezbollah Among...

ANN COULTER: CONSERVATIVE LOUT
Coulter war against conservative values?

THE SPOILED BRAT WING OF THE GOP
The "I" word
Impeach President Bush? Ideologically, I've never been more than a lukewarm supporter of the president, as I'm a libertarian who has simply learned to swallow my pride, hold my nose, and vote for what I perceived (rightly or wrongly) was...

Taking a crack

BAINBRIDGE: A THOUGHTFUL BUT FLAWED CRITIQUE OF THE WAR
Partisan political war?

Carnival 149 (and the politics of poetry)
The 149th Carnival of the Vanities has been posted at Pratie Place. Host Melinama does an admirable job with innumerable posts, many of which are political in nature -- this despite the fact that she doesn't like political blogging: I...

JUST ANOTHER THOUGHT EXPERIMENT
Itsa, Itsa .... Bonfire!
ItsaPundit is home to this week's not-to-be-missed 103rd Bonfire of the Vanities. Host "Puppy Blender" (where have I heard that?) begins with a disclaimer: No actual puppies or hobo's were hurt during this, but, it can cause carpet tracks and...
