Flaming blasphemy — a Corvette body on a Fisker?

Posted by Leslie Eastman on January 16, 2013 6 Comments

I would like to introduce the "Shrine of Flaming Capitalism's Product of the Month": The Destino. And flaming is a worthy designation indeed. The Destino is essentially a Fisker body over a Corvette Engine. Legal Insurrection readers may recall Fisker is a company that produces plug-in hybrid...

“Journalism didn’t just die. It went to work for the enemy. “

What is wrong with this sentence? From The Daily News editorial cheering the draconian gun control law passed in NY State with no public discussion, no public debate, no normal waiting period, no time for Senators to read it, no likelihood of actually reducing crime, but great...

The financial pressures of the internet. We have touched on that from time to time, including with regard to Andrew Sullivan's modified-paywall, Blogonomics and independence. There is an urge to do what the "absolute worst" designed website on the internet does, and load up with pop-overs and...

Breaking the “Left-Right Paradigm” one living room at a time

Posted by Leslie Eastman on January 15, 2013 44 Comments

I am often asked why I remain a registered Democrat, despite my decidedly fiscal-sanity oriented independent streak. In part, it is how I can effectively fight the "left-right" political paradigm that is being used by the elite media and politicos to divide us, in order to...

More “Wise Latina” Drivel

Posted by 0387erp on January 15, 2013 16 Comments

A couple of days ago I charitably described Andrew Cohen's embarrassingly gushing celebration of Justice Sonia Sotomayor and her new book in The Atlantic as "treacly drool." It is not alone, accompanied now by a full court liberal press (NPR, CBS News, the New York...

My wife repeatedly promises to stop cursing at the television. Completely unrelated to that, we didn't watch the Obama press conference today.
