There’s been lots of smoke out in the blogosphere recently about Marc Dann. And while Dann’s performance hasn’t been quite at the level I might have hoped, that doesn’t really excuse the kind of personal mudslinging that’s been going on sans evidence. I don’t want to link to the RABid post in question, […]

I spent a good portion of my free time last week playing Assassin’s Creed on my Xbox 360. Fun game. Interestingly, you play as an Islamic assassin named Altair, and you assassinate Templars (and non-Christians working with Templars) in 1191AD (during the Third Crusade). Assassination targets include prominent historical figures that died […]

Obama is my top choice for our next president, and he’s also Lawrence Lessig’s choice.
Second, I believe in the policies. Clearly on the big issues — the war and corruption. Obama has made his career fighting both. But also on the issues closest to me. As the technology document released today reveals, to anyone who […]

I got an email today as fallout of an article by Patrick Poole claiming I’m some kind of CAIR/ODP operative which I’ve decided to reprint in full.
Americans are watching you and your behavior. The time will come when we
will no longer tolerate you and your allies - our otherwise declared
enemies.
You’re a detestable shitbag.
Yes, I’m […]

This Friday is my 5th wedding anniversary, so I’m going offline for a few days. See you next week.

The good work Jerid is doing documenting things in New Hampshire is being noticed. Andrew Sullivan used video captured by Jerid of Barack Obama contrasting Genarlow Wilson’s prison sentence to Libby’s commutation to underline the injustice in the justice system.

Read a summary of the tripe coming out of Wingnutistan about universal health care (and SiCKO) breeding terrorism.
UPDATE: Krazy Kenny gets on the “universal healthcare causes terrorism” train.

While I’ve been taking a long weekend (and taking advantage of the nice weather to get some woodworking done in the garage), Jerid has been filing a complaint with the Ohio Election Commission against the Bill Brownson for Council committee. Bill Brownson is running for Columbus City Council. See the details at BSB.
It’s […]

So, we here at PB have taken some heat for attacking Matt Naugle for his falsehoods and irrelevant personal attacks. I understand that some people think we are wasting our time, and to a certain extent, I understand that view.
But I also understand that the “most prominent right-wing blog in Ohio” has a responsibility […]

An at-times amusing white flag has been run up by a Trinidad and Tobago blogger.
You see, America, the Fox News Channel is up to it’s old war-baiting sensational tricks again. It’s reporting that Trinidad and Tobago is the “New Hotbed in the War on Terror”. Now hoooooooooooold on for a just a sec, America. Easy […]

This post is a Matty Special, just for our friends at RABid.
It turns out that Dr. Laura’s son, who is currently deployed in Afghanistan, had a MySpace page. And what a page it was.
The soldier son of talk radio relationship counselor Laura Schlessinger is under investigation for a graphic personal Web page that one […]

I guess since Bizzy takes a shot at me (ostensibly for something I didn’t write), and shuts down comments - I’ll comment here. First off, I asked Brian to blog here and I’m not in the habit of trying to police that. I don’t have to agree with him always or with Joe […]

I love me some Chris Baker. Dude is what got me blogging, so there’s a soft spot built in. He has a post up about Republican Auto-Erotic Cannibalism. Here is how to read it:
First: Let “Auto-Erotic Cannibalism” stew for a bit. I promise it’ll be like chilli - way better […]

Wired has the story:
The U.S. Army has ordered soldiers to stop posting to blogs or sending personal e-mail messages, without first clearing the content with a superior officer, Wired News has learned. The directive, issued April 19, is the sharpest restriction on troops’ online activities since the start of the Iraq war. And it could […]
