William Jacobson digs into the background and finds weird and wonderful things. And Stacy has fun with initials.

And as it continues the Blogfather Glenn Reynolds in addition to scooping Little Miss Attila shows that like Pepperidge Farm, the internet remembers.

I haven’t heard anyone mimic my Air America take yet, but we could always make book on it. It all depends on how much money Soros and company want to spend to keep it alive.

On my flight down to CPAC I sat next to a nice gentleman who is a scientist with a fine wife and a young child. We talked about all kinds of things one being my blog.

Lo and behold I have received an e-mail from him saying that he enjoys the blog and has decided to go down that same path.

So let me introduce to you my very first (known) blogchild…

DaScienceGuy

All he needs is a Fedora to get into GQ.

Comedian Evan Sayet explains why you don’t see much conservative comedy out there.

Watch for him on your local college campus or even better request him.

Update: Smitty links, and for the record I had a total of 77 posts over the three days of CPAC most of the the short interviews.

Update 2: You can catch more Evan at Newsbusters today on their notable quotables show.

Jay Nordlinger in his Impromptus column deals with the island in some details and quotes Christopher Sabatini making a point I’ve been arguing myself:

In what other country in the hemisphere would it be considered a crime for a foreigner to give out a cell phone, laptop, or any other modern tool of communication? Brazil? Argentina? Mexico? Venezuela? Of course not. In fact, Americans passing out free cell phones and computers in those countries are called, appropriately, humanitarians. Let’s be clear: The Castro regime is isolating its citizens from not just news and information, but from modernity.

This is the reality, journalists ignoring this are disgracing their profession.

Or they might just be following the guidelines established by Atlanta progressive news.
