Blogger Meltdown of the Week
Thu, Mar 1, 2007 at 6:05:49 pm PST
I don’t have much more to say about Dean Esmay, except that he’s finally managed to post something so ridiculous and intelligence-insulting that his co-bloggers are abandoning ship. (Except for the ones who have a vested interest in promoting his confused opinions.) Bryan Preston has the details on this unseemly meltdown: ...

UPDATE at 3/1/07 3:40:11 pm: NewsBuckit’s Google searches are ...

Video: Jihad
Thu, Mar 1, 2007 at 10:50:45 am PST
Even though this well-acted six-minute short film titled Jihad was made in 2004, somehow I missed it. It packs a lot of surprises into that 6 minutes. Allahpundit thinks it might be suggesting that money is the answer to jihad, but if the filmmakers really did have a coherent point (I’m ...

Thu, Mar 1, 2007 at 8:39:33 am PST
Arianna Huffington is desperately trying to distance herself from the flood of unbelievably vile comments about Dick Cheney that were posted at her site (she calls it “a minuscule portion” of her readers, which is, well, a blatant lie), and of course, she lashes out at LGF to do it: ...
