I’m a bit busy today, me buckos. But let me refer you to a squabble you don’t want to miss (just in case you’re not an Eschaton reader).
It seems that the National Review Online’s Donald “The Bedwetter” Luskin is threatening to sue and ferret out the identity of Eschaton’s Atrios. Why? Well, […]

It used to be a “complex,” but the Bush administration has streamlined things a bit.
Taking a page from the book, “Momma Never Called It Socialism,” the administration’s making our economy a whole lot simpler than it’s been in years. Playing connect-the-dots is no great challenge when you’re served up only two gigantic dots:
First comes […]

No, I’m not talking about the Bush administration (though I could be), nor am I talking about Fox News (though I wish I was), not am I taking on the TV networks who once again guaranteed us an exciting autumn filled with amazing, new, quality programming (though there oughta be a law)…

Looks like Wes and Joe have decided to cut bait in Iowa. I can’t say I blame them. As my campaign gathers a head of steam, expect other candidates to make the prudent choice to step aside.
Their strategy is clear - let Felber sweep the polls in the early running and pray that […]

In just two days, Fox News’ house liberal Alan Colmes’ new book, “Red, White and Liberal” will be released. Fanatical Apathy got an advance look at this important tome…
