Government”reform” now means shutting people up. I told you months ago that you’d see restrictions on your speech. Did you believe me? Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination to the Supreme Court has already had a big impact on minorities, including the long-oppressed fly-eating amphibian community. var [...] Gee, who knew the Church of Scientology would edit out unflattering information about itself on Wikipedia? From CNN: I don’t understand why anyone thinks this is a good thing (emphasis mine): North Carolina lawmakers are pushing to give Apple Inc. a multi-million dollar tax break should the company bring an East Coast computer server farm to the state — an estimated $1 billion investment, according to a state official with knowledge of the recruitment [...] As in, he’s on fire, this time at American Spectator. Rod Dreher and other “choirboys of niceness,” as RSM calls them, have been busy wringing their hands over what they think is an overly combative face of conservatives, which they think will alienate fence-sitters. RSM reminds them: By “theme,” I mean the Wordpress theme or blog template, which I had to change after I did so much tinkering on the last one that I made it unusable. It wouldn’t let me update to the newest version of Wordpress and, ultimately, stopped displaying sidebars and anything more than the latest post. “Crunchy Con” Rod Dreher is highly offended by radio talker (and author) Mark Levin. Highly. Complaining about Levin’s treatment of one of his callers, Dreher writes: Stacy McCain has made a theme out of fisking David Brooks, and I think Brooks is every bit the tool McCain thinks he is. In this piece, Brooks tries to make a point about how much “smarter” Obama is in handling terror-related security issues and, unwittingly, I think, says mouthfuls about the critics of President [...] Well, without a post since last Rule 5 Sunday, I think I’ve got to cram in a few short posts before my next Rule 5 post, lest I become well known for only being able to post Rule 5 posts. I am, after all, thoughtful, smart, incisive, rational, and an excellent writer . . . [...] I said last week I’d try to do something different with Rule 5 from time to time, and here’s my first attempt. So Meghan McCain utters her latest — this time giving us a lesson in bad manners rather than bad politics — and Allah figures its going to generate so much blog coverage that she’ll be forced to deny it. And just so he’s ready to cover that, he subjects himself to a torment beyond words. [...] Image via Wikipedia Moe Lane, that is. I’m not much of a Rule 5 guy either.(For those of you not following that link, Stacy McCain’s Rule 5 for generating blog traffic is to post cheesecake photos.) I am one of the 99.999% of bloggers who cannot live off his blog. Of coure, that would be true even if my traffic were 1000 times what it is, since I don’t have advertising . . . yet. Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy, who prosecuted the 1993 World Trade Center bombers, has declined an invitation from the Obama administration to participate in “roundtable” ostensibly meant to help formulate legal standards for treatment of terror detainees. His letter to attorney General Eric Holder has popped up all over the conservative blogosphere, but Flopping Aces sums [...] Rule 1 in “Roadhouse” Stacy McCain’s guide on “How to get a million hits on your blog in less than a year” is Shameless Blogwhoring, which he introduces thus: As if we needed one to know where she stands. But it’s always nice to have solid evidence. From ignorant slut to magnificent bastard in less than three days! The promotion comes entirely by accident.
