I've done a courtesy search for the term the i word for you. See if you can find what you're looking for in the list below:

• Romney the Bully

  Ladies and gentlemen, your nontroversy of the week is the report that Mitt Romney bullied a kid in high school:

  There was no Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or sexting when several fellow students at a posh Detroit-area prep school say 18-year-old Romney led a boy posse to hold down one among them perceived as different and snip off his bleached blond hair.

  The victim, John Lauber, is dead now, but The Washington Post reported when it

• Why I am not a part of “popular movements” like OWS

  Best explenation I have seen yet of why we should fear these popular movements like OWS ever:

  History is replete with Peoples’ movements that, claiming weight of numbers and well-meaning intentions for others, have changed the course of society–but not necessarily for the better. In other words, pathologically altruistic movements.

  ….

  The Occupy movement seeks to make things fair for everyone, not by allowing people to flourish with their natural talents, but rather by focusing

• Out the Door, Line on the Left, One Cross Each

  Well, this resolved itself before I even had a chance to comment:

  The Obama administration’s top environmental official in the oil-rich South Central region has resigned after Republicans targeted him over remarks made two years ago when he used the word “crucify” to describe how he would go after companies violating environmental laws.

  …

  Republicans in Congress had called for Armendariz’ firing after Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe highlighted the May 2010 speech last week as

• Citizens Untied

  I’ve ever understood the hue and cry among the Left over Citizens United. It seem to me a lot of it is based on misinformation. They think that Citizens opened the door for big evil corporations to make massive policial campaign contributions. But that was already legal. Citizens was a very specific case where a non-profit political group made a movie about Hillary Clinton and were forbidden to show it 60 days before … Read more

• Columbian Hookers

  By now, you’ve heard all the salacious details of our Secret Service agents partying with some legal Columbian hookers. As expected, Maggie McNeill has a good round-up of both the pearl-clutching hysteria in the media and the more reasoned response from libertarian quarters.

  Suffice it to say, the idea that this was something unusual or particularly dangerous is a bit far-fetched. I really can’t see our Secret Service compromising the President’s safety rather than have … Read more

• A Wild Animal Problem

  Being a right thinker in the land of lunacy (California, and the Bay Area in particular) has taught me to be a good loser. Since there is precious few of us willing to push back against the perpetual drag towards becoming France or Sweden, all I can do is prepare myself financially,all the while unable to avert my eyes from the slow motion car wreck that will inevitably end tragically. But I can’t say I … Read more

• The Left Loses it on SCOTUS

  Imagine the most bizarre rant you’ve ever heard about “judicial activism”. Imagine it being delivered by Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly simultaneously while drunk. Imagine them delivering it in Esperanto, a language they don’t know. You will still not reach a thousandth of the anger and spittle and incoherence being spewed out by the Left Wing commentariat over the possibility that the Supreme Court will overturn Obamacare. And remember, this is just days after saying … Read more

• Blinded With Science

  It’s the study the Left is going batshit over:

  Just over 34 percent of conservatives had confidence in science as an institution in 2010, representing a long-term decline from 48 percent in 1974, according to a paper being published today in American Sociological Review.

  That represents a dramatic shift for conservatives, who in 1974 were more likely than liberals or moderates (all categories based on self-identification) to express confidence in science. While the confidence levels

• Pity the Poor Commenters

  Update: It would appear this is an April Fool’s joke. The thing is, it’s utterly believable. If it is a joke, I fell for it. I’ll refrain from flushing this post down the memory hole to spare my ego.

  Feel free to slam Lieberman in the comments anyway. He’s still a Nanny State fuckwad, even if this is a hoax.

  I’m just going to say what Alex and Jim already know: Joe Lieberman has … Read more

• Winding Us Up

  Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it’s he eeevil Bjorn Lomborg again, popping the balloons of those who think wind will be our energy future:

  A new report by University of Edinburgh professor Gordon Hughes for the Global Warming Policy Foundation estimates that 36 GW of new wind power [in the UK] would cost $190 billion for just 23 megatons of CO2 reduction per year. In other words, temperature rises would be postponed by a mere 66
