I just got done reading Mediaite’s rundown of the Mike Hendricks saga, and the material to which it links. I have to say, with the amount of virtual ink that has been spilled over this, everyone seems to have missed the most glaring issue. Mike Hendricks is a columnist for the Kansas City Star who [...]
Follow Friday Recs with Commentary and Urging for a Workgroup on Diminishing #ff Returns
I’m reprinting my #followfriday list below, which I do need to update soon. Perhaps I’ll do it this weekend for next week. First, though, I want to point out that #followFriday is losing much of its impact. At least, that’s how it seems. I don’t know if it’s because a saturation point has been reached, [...]
Extreme Pogo-ing a Very Bad Career Move
So, I’m reading this article about X-TREME POGO, and a few things strike me immediately. Like, why is the Wall Street Journal covering Extreme Pogo? Also, there’s something called Extreme Pogo?

The news of Ted Kennedy’s sad passing last night has been greeted with the expected wave of coverage, and coverage about the coverage. I’m going to ignore the trolls who emerge at times like this, and focus on 3 particular reactions from prominent conservatives online. First, there’s Ed Morrissey, who offers a clear-eyed summation of [...]
Bill O’Reilly Doesn’t Mention Stealing From Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher
My Mediaite colleague, Colby Hall, chronicles the current round of navel-gazing by Bill O’Reilly, Jon Stewart, Howard Kurtz, and Mediaite over at Mediaite. He fails, however, to point out how this story is actually all about me.
