And what would a 9/11 anniversary be without mentioning celebrated British gay Catholic conservative liberal American male white adult pundit Andrew Sullivan! But this story has nothing to do with his particular archive of 2001 to 2003 insanity. It is about marijuana. He was caught smoking the marijuana by a Forest Ranger in Provincetown, Massachusetts [...]

What will “blogger” mean in five years? Will “blogger” still be synonymous with “unemployed,” or will it have other meanings, like “someone who enjoys sex with dead people” or “a derogatory term for homosexuals”? Or both? Find out! In five years. [Matt Yglesias] Jonah Goldberg rightly points out that the Secret Service is not at [...]

Still no word on whether or not that whole “OMG Sarah and Todd are getting divorced” thing is any more true than the whole “OMG Palin is resigning because she’s under federal investigation” thing. Will these sorts of rumors fall into the same bucket as “Dick Cheney resigning as VP due to Libby/war crimes/etc. and [...]

Are you FRIGHTENED yet, citizens? Abraham Lincoln would not have cared for this at all, these sinister libtards “working in the shadows” of the publicly available Internet. Abraham Lincoln would be crying like an eagle. [via Matt Yglesias]

Big news on the Internet! The anonymous PSEUDOnymous blogger “publius” of Obsidian Wings, who has been blogging under that name since forever, is, in real, human life, some law professor in South Texas named John Blevins.

In this snippetington, she interrupts a polite conversation between Mika and [...]

Michael Goldfarb likes to say swear words, and he was John McCain’s chief blogger for a while. Like every former campaign staffer, he believes “mistakes were made” during McCain’s 2008 presidential run, but can’t name any except the one where the candidate refused to talk about Reverend Wright for fear of looking like a racist. [...]

Terminally unemployed Meghan McCain made a name for herself by typing a very weird, very revealing warblog during her dad’s tragicomic campaign. The only real “news” she broke was by posting a home video of John McCain’s special BBQ love fest for his supporters, the national political press, at one of his estates in Arizona. [...]

You may all remember Robert Draper for his insanely long NYT article about the reverse-cowgirl firing squad that is the McCain campaign, or that book he wrote a couple years ago about George Bush being a turd. Whatever. There is news! He is a blogger now! And his blog has even more fantastical goodies about [...]

Our favorite blog about nothing that we never read written by a 23-year-old unemployed airhead, Meghan McCain’s “McCain Bloggette,” is now the author of a children’s book about John McCain dropping bombs on children in Vietnam. Meghan signed copies of this book at some event we were NOT invited to, yesterday, at the RNC, and [...]

Here is John McCain lamenting the Information Age in typical hilarious old-man fashion. First there are “the cables,” and then talk radio, and of course bloggers, whom he hates. Finally, something we can all agree on. [YouTube via BuzzFeed]

He’s [...]
