Why bother?

Posted by Jay Tea · Published: April 15, 2007 · Comments (24)

I haven't written too much this weekend. It's because I discovered that Bill Whittle has published again. And this time, he speaks truth to trooothers, going after the conspiracy nuts in a way that ought to leave serious scars.... [Full Story]

Waxing poetic over a waxed tyrant

Posted by Jay Tea · Published: December 30, 2006 · Comments (2)

"Serendipity" is the art of accidental luck, of unexpected and unpredictable good consequences of circumstances. I used it earlier this week to describe our "accidental president," who did a better job than expected. And now, the conversion of Saddam Hussein from ex-dictator to pinata has inspired Meryl Yourish and a... [Full Story]

How did this get past me?

Posted by Jay Tea · Published: November 9, 2006 · Comments (7)

Somehow, I neglected to perform my every-couple-of-days check of Bill Whittle's site, and he sneaked out yet another amazing essay. Once again, Bill captures the sort of thing I clumsily struggle to express. And the "pull quote" he singles out says in two elegant sentences something I've butchered countless virtual...

Profiles in scatterbrainedness

Posted by Jay Tea · Published: August 22, 2006 · Comments (0)

Over at Willisms today, I manage to confess to being a potential serial killer, ruthlessly interrogate piles of money, come to cocaine's defense, and roundly go after both political parties before I finally find my way into talking about the war on terror. I think it all hangs together in... [Full Story]

From jellybeans to jihad

Over at Willisms today, I take a look at a seldom-studied aspect of President Ronald Reagan's legacy, and how it's not that unfair to blame him for some of our worst problems today.... [Full Story]

"Hail Hydra!"

Today at Willisms, I connect modern Islamist terrorism to Greek mythology. And I think I managed to purge every single pun from the piece -- which, for me, is a Herculean effort.... [Full Story]

Two great fiskings

Posted by Jay Tea · Published: March 21, 2006 · Comments (7)

Fisking is a great art -- taking a piece and ripping it apart, line by line, exposing its frauds, its fallacies, its errors. I've done it myself a few times, but it's quite frankly more work than I often feel up to putting forth. But I have a tremendous respect... [Full Story]

Teaching the New York Times a little logic

Posted by Jay Tea · Published: January 7, 2006 · Comments (42)

Confederate Yankee has a rather good piece up that takes the New York Times to task for an article they published on body armor and the US Marines. CY points out that simply studying an object's failures paints an incomplete -- and, in this case, potentially life-threateningly so -- picture.... [Full Story]

Posted by Jay Tea · Published: November 23, 2005 · Comments (9)

I'm still a smidgen burned out from those two pieces about religion I tossed out on Monday, so I'm keeping it light for a little bit longer. I've said repeatedly that I think I'm a pretty good writer, and I'm proud of my work here. But in no way do... [Full Story]

Some troops in dire need of support from home

Posted by Jay Tea · Published: November 20, 2005 · Comments (17)

Last night, I received an e-mail notifying me of a despicable thing going on. A dedicated milblogger in Iraq, Grey Eagle, has been posting tributes to US soldiers in Iraq. I use "has been" because she has been bombarded by trolls and other vermin, posting insulting, degrading, and (dare I... [Full Story]

Or, perhaps, in spite of it. Jeff Harrell of The Shape Of Days has returned from his little-over-a-month hiatus with a whole new look, and maybe a bit of a new attitude, too. More importantly, he promises no more pictures of his genitalia, no matter how good the cause.... [Full Story]

Glorious defeat

Posted by Jay Tea · Published: October 28, 2005 · Comments (12)

Last week, I roused myself briefly from my sports apathy to support the White Sox in the World Series. I confessed at the time that my only motivation was Laurence Simon, die-hard and long-suffering Astros fan. The way I saw it, either my long-standing ability to pick losers would prevail...

In Wilma's wake, a call for help

While I always make a point of thanking Kevin for making my blogging career a reality, I don't as often give credit to my "blog-mother" -- the person whose blog inspired me to take up Kevin's "open-mike nights" and audition for my "guest posting" gig that's lasted over a year... [Full Story]

I'm moderately proud of my writing abilities, my skills as an "essayist" (as Kevin calls me). But every now and then, I find someone who is so much better at it than I am that I wonder why I ever thought I'd be any good at this gig. Bill Whittle... [Full Story]

Blogger Needs Help

Posted by Kevin · Published: August 3, 2005 · Comments (4)

I've always been amazed at the power of the blogosphere to pitch in when a blogger is in dire financial distress. Nearly two year ago one of the first people to come to my aid when I was downsized weeks before Christmas was Venomous Kate. She's been a long-time friend,... [Full Story]

Morning Notes

A UK Guardian reporter (Dilpazier Aslam) who reported on the London bombings is part of the Britain's most radical Islamist group Hizb Ut Tahrir. In an opinion piece Aslam chastises moderate Muslims who don't "rock the boat," and explains the London bombings as a "sassy" expression of opinion. The Guardian... [Full Story]
