Welcome Empower Texans To The Blogroll

Thursday, September 8th, 2016

Here’s another link I’ve been meaning to add to the blogroll for a while: Empower Texans. Michael Quinn Sullivan’s group (a companion organization to Texans for Fiscal Responsibility) does a good job of covering Texas political news and drawing attention to government abuses.

Well worth checking out.

Saturday, March 28th, 2015

If you hadn’t heard, Mickey Kaus resigned from the Daily Caller over them spiking a piece that slammed Fox News for supporting illegal alien amnesty.

Kaus is now blogging at his own site http://kausfiles.com/.

Update your bookmarks accordingly.

Blogroll Addition: Social Justice Warriors: Do Not Engage

Tuesday, January 13th, 2015

Today’s blogroll addition is Will Shetterly’s Social Justice Warriors: Do Not Engage blog (or SJWar for short).

Will is fellow science fiction writer, and not only is he a leftist, he’s an actual socialist. But he’s done a fine job documenting and opposing the ant-free-speech agenda of the SJW set, especially in the realm of science fiction.

I kept meaning to add SJWar to the blogroll for a while, but every time I was about to, Will would go “That’s it, I quit, blog’s over!” only to start it up again a few days later to document the latest SJW offense logic or the principles of a free society. Here’s a bon mot on the Charlie Hebdo killings today: “Saying the speech of someone who was murdered went too far is like saying the clothes of a rape victim were too provocative.”

I’ve created a new Victimhood Identity Politics category to list SJWar under, and have moved The Other McCain (which has featured R. S. McCain’s masterful dissections of core feminist texts and dogmas for quite a while) there as well.

Having An Intermittant Database Connection Problem

Monday, December 29th, 2014

I seem to be having an intermittent database connection problem for old posts. Not seeing it right now, but if you see it crop up again, let me know.

Blogroll Addition: Pension Tsunami

Wednesday, October 15th, 2014

Since they linked to me yesterday, I’ve finally done what I’ve meant to do for a long time, namely get up off my ass and add Pension Tsunami to the Blogroll. They offer a great daily news roundup on the looming unionized public sector pension crisis that threatens to bankrupt cities and states across the country (especially California).

I’ve also added the new “California/Pensions/Unions/Etc.” link category and moved Kausfiles there as well.

Expect more additions to that blog category Real Soon Now.

Administrative Note: Amazon Widgets Temporarily Disabled

Wednesday, April 30th, 2014

I’ve temporarily disabled the Amazon widgets in the right sidebar since one was automatically redirecting the entire page to Amazon upon load. What the hell, Amazon?

My apologies if anyone ran into this problem.

This Day Eaten By Locusts BlueHost

Friday, August 2nd, 2013

BlueHost was down for most of the day, so no blogging.

Expect your normally scheduled political rants to resume on Monday.

Warning: Graphic Content

Saturday, November 10th, 2012

I know I’m lazy and all, but I’m beginning to think that I should change the look of this blog off the WordPress default. I’m been putting this off mainly because my skills lie in the realm of words rather than graphics, but I think I’m going to bite the bullet.

I’m going to experiment with a few themes to get started, so don’t be shocked if things look weird every now and then.

Updating the Blogroll

Wednesday, June 13th, 2012

For some reason, I feel a lot more braindead than usual after a one hour bike ride, so today seems like an excellent day to perform that long-contemplated update of the blogroll.

Today’s additions:

  • Rick Perry vs. the World: You might previously remember Evan from Texas Iconoclast, a local political aggregator until it went into hibernation earlier this year. Now he’s back blogging at this, his original blog. Well worth a look for Texas politics. And speaking of a local political aggregators:
  • Push Junction offers up a forest of Texas political links. Don’t know who runs it, but I’ve grabbed many a link from it.
  • More Lane: National blogger and indefatigable tweeter. He also turns out to share my affection for Peter Gabriel and Ogre (the board game), so he’s obviously a man of taste and discernment…
  • Ann Althouse: Another national blogger I’d frequently read when linked from Instapundit, but one who was absolutely essential for Wisconsin Recall coverage.
  • Michelle Malkin: Still another national blogger I’d read when linked by Instapundit, but more recently she’s not only been a driving force to expose convicted felon Brett Kimberlin, she’s also the Queen of the Conservative Twitterverse, which lead her to launch Twitchy, a Twitter roundup blog, which is also worth checking out.
  • Finally, please note that Blue Dot Blues has moved.
