Andrew Sullivan with his take on the current Chicken Little strain on the right when discussing anti-terror policy:
To see political leaders in the West have such a low view of the American judicial system and such an elevated view of the world-historical significance of these pathetic, twisted, religious nutjobs … well, they look like [...]
Talking Points Memo has announced their Golden Duke Awards, named for former Congressman Randall “Duke” Cunningham. Our own Joe Arpaio got an award for Outstanding Achievement in Corruption Based Chutzpah. Here is the comment from one of the award judges, Jack Shafer:
There’s a thin line between chutzpah and villainy, and Sheriff Joe Arpaio erases it.

David Safier over at Blog for Arizona found out that a website called My Gay Phoenix was lifting his posts in their entirety with nary a link back to his blog. He did some digging and found out that it is par for the course for the guy running it, Eric Wood. Wood runs a [...]

Tonight, Rush is no longer ‘just’ a radio personality.
Tonight, Rush is no longer ‘just’ a NFL owner denied
Tonight, Rush is us. And we are [...]
More stuff I missed out on writing about last week after the jump.
