Anthony Weiner to Start Regular Column for Business Insider, Titled "Weiner!"
— Ace

Meanwhile, a group of conservative and libertarian writers and editors have founded a start-up they call "Liberty Island," a forum featuring fiction (mostly of the pulp variety) with a right-leaning sensibility.

Sarah Hoyt interviews one of the founders, Adam Bellow, at PJ Media.

SH: Who is the audience for Liberty Island? What is Â“conservative fictionÂ”? ShouldnÂ’t good stories just stand on their own?
AB: Great literature stands on its own, but the productions of popular culture often carry a hidden freight of ideology that reflects its authorsÂ’ biases. Sometimes not so hidden Â— the evil conservative businessman is essentially the default villain in Hollywood these days. But think about what happens when great stories are told from a conservative perspective: you get Tom Clancy, or Brad Thor, or James Patterson, or Vince Flynn. Mega-bestselling authors with a huge following. Our audience is anyone who loves great pulp writers like those guys. At Liberty Island you will find dozens of stories like these, in genres ranging from humor to thriller to SciFi. These writers arenÂ’t heavy handed in the least Â– their conservative outlook is sometimes explicit but just as often merely implied or completely submerged. Besides, a case can be made that traditional pulp genres are inherently conservative.
...
SH: What made you think of the project Â– and commit to it and work so hard for it?
AB: Two things: first, an impulse to carry the culture war into the field of popular culture. And second, the writers themselves. In 25 years as an editor of nonfiction books IÂ’ve watched the conservative intellectual project thrive and flourish. But like others on the right IÂ’ve been dismayed by the slowness of conservatives to challenge the liberal dominance of popular culture. ItÂ’s not enough to carp and criticize the frequently substandard and offensive crap that liberals produce. As Andrew Breitbart used to say, we have to make our ownÂ—and it has to be good. But recently we began to notice an exciting development: hundreds, indeed thousands of conservative and libertarian writers were seizing the opportunity afforded by new digital technologies to produce and publish original works of fiction. Others were making music, video, graphics, and other forms of entertainment right on their laptops at home. These were ordinary men and women all over the country, working in isolation, doing their best to hone their art and find an audience. Yet no one seemed to know that they existed. So we started talking about what we could do to help them. Liberty Island grew out of those discussions.

They take submissions. They don't actually pay for those submissions, though they do encourage satisfied readers to hit the tip-jar of any author whose work they like.

1 IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE WEINER REFERS TO PENIS, WHICH HE EXPOSED ON THE INTERNET.

2 Florida State Professor Thomas Albrecht-Schmitt calls Â“californium,Â” or Cf on the Periodic Table of Elements, Â“wicked stuffÂ” because of its incredible ability to bond and separate other materials along with its resistance to radiation damage.

Albrecht-SchmittÂ’s research could lead to new types of storage containers for radioactive waste and separate radioactive fuel Â— meaning fuel could be recycled.

Â“ItÂ’s almost like snake oil,Â” Albrecht-Schmitt, who led a team of researchers that made the discovery, told Phys.org. Â“It sounds almost too good to be true.Â”

20 Not to jump OT to quickly, but since everyone's going after Obama's Hellfire Missile cut, I'd note that from what I'm reading this is just in his proposed budget for 2015. Further proof that Obama's budgets are not serious proposals, they're merely political documents designed to get pretty top line numbers for the MSM/Democrat Machine. Frankly I wouldn't bother attacking Bamby for wanting to cut those missiles, because I suspect he actually has no intention of doing that, I'd attack him for releasing a budget that he knows is inoperable as a way of trying to make a political point.

36 I think Business Inside-her was also the virtual rag that had the leader of the Filipino Communist Party write an editorial defending Venezuela socialism and blaming the trouble on US meddling. She started it off by quoting Mao, the greatest mass murderer in human history, as some sort of moral authority.

Business Insider just appears to be another leftist front operation pumping out propaganda. I guess that is not surprising since propaganda is the only industry that prospers more as every other industry fails.

106 We believe the unique combination of brashness and wonkiness that made Weiner one of last year's most memorable candidates

...Yeah. His "brashness" and "wonkiness" are what made him a memorable candidate. If by brashness and wonkiness you mean, "Tweeting pictures of his junk."

I still don't get the basis of "wonk," btw. When I hear that something is "wonky," it means it's wobbly and off-kilter. I do not understand why someone who's (allegedly) all about the facts and data of a situation would want to be called something as stupid as a "wonk." It sounds like baby talk.

Anyway, he came home from work and was obviously agitated when he saw what I'd done. He hasn't approached me since, so maybe he's not too upset, but I'm not sure what to do about it. Should I Tweet him a picture of my junk before I drop a note in his mailbox or after?

177 I frequently get tagged as a "cultural rejectionist" by ace (and other terms all vaguely reminiscent of Chinese Cultural Revolution verbiage) because I scoff when I hear conservatives and/or libertarians talking about how imperative it is to crack into Hollyweird with a consistent right-wing message.

I don't think that is ever going to happen, and I think it's a complete waste of time and resources, hence my overt and vocal skepticism.

However, that said, let us draw a key distinction.

The institutional left developed a death grip on all of the key positions of power in Hollyweird starting in the early 1970s, they've had it ever since, and they are perfectly aware it is a key redoubt for their movement. They will _ruthlessly_ quash any attempt to take it back. There aren't going to be any more Reagans emerging from the movie industry, thank you very much. That's why you see conservatives having to meet in high secrecy in L.A., to avoid career ruination.

But, it may still be possible, thanks to the Internet's diversification of distribution, for conservatives/libertarians to create new parallel systems of content creation and delivery. And this may be a step in that direction, and the attempt at least is to be applauded.

197 Ah, now, see, here's a question. One of the headlines at Drudge RE: the Ebola outbreak in Africa is:

'High level of concern'...

Where does "High level of concern" rank in the "Levels of Concern" scale of severity? I think it's slightly below "Grave concern," but well above "Strong concern."

Dear Mr. Weiner,

How do I nicely tell my boyfriend that he is too small for me "down there?" I figured I'd ask you since you seem nice and mature and well experienced in handling such matters. He's a great guy otherwise and I don't want to hurt his feelings, but I so wish to move on to greener pastures, IYKWIMAITTYD.

Signed,

202 Dear Weiner I have a 1978 Chevy Impala with 135,000 miles on it, that I still drive on weekends, vacations, etc. The mileage is terrible, but you can't beat that big engine, am I right? Well, as of about two weeks ago, whenever I turn left I hear a sort of screeching sound and a chug-chug-chug like vibration in the steering wheel. I've taken good care of it over the years but I really can't spend a lot on repairs right now, hoping it's not serious. So my question is, what's the best angle to take a cock-selfie from?

203 From the OFA site, re Biden: "Drawing on his years of foreign policy experience, the Vice President advises the President on a range of international issues. In 2010, he worked with Senate leaders to secure their approval of the New START nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia." See? Obama depends on Biden for advice on foreign policy. What could go wrong? "Reset"?, "Flexibility"?, Kerry as Secretary?

You sound like you might be a plus sized lady "down there".

Try this:
Ask him to rub one side and maybe the other will get jealous and move over.

205 In the interview, published in MondayÂ’s edition of de Volkskrant, Obama said, Â“The United States does not view Europe as a battleground between East and West, nor do we see the situation in Ukraine as a zero-sum game. ThatÂ’s the kind of thinking that should have ended with the Cold War.Â” The president went on to say, Â“The Ukrainian people do not have to choose between East and West. On the contrary, itÂ’s important that Ukraine have good relations with the United States, Russia, and Europe. As IÂ’ve said, the future of Ukraine ought to be decided by the people of Ukraine.Â” Weasel Zippers: It's stupid to think that is accurate, but you have to be a blithering Idiot to say it out loud especially as what used to the Leader of the FREE WORLD. Sigh

209 "Drawing on his years of foreign policy experience, the Vice President..." Joe Biden has foreign policy experience in the way the Washington Generals have basketball experience.

210 The Evil Koch Brothers (tm) should immediately purchase Business Insider, rename the column "KOCH!!!" and make Wiener such a lucrative offer to stay and write pro-business articles that he can't refuse.

Hilarity is bound to ensue.

213 US Secretary of State John Kerry expressed "strong concern" on Monday about the massing of Russian forces on the Ukrainian border and urged Moscow to pursue dialogue, a senior State Department official said. Is that more than Grave Concern? Posted by: Nevergiveup at March 24, 2014 03:00 PM (t3UFN) ________________________ Nope. This is State Department talk. The escalation process is: "strong concern" > deep concern" > "disturbed" > "deeply disturbed" (after which shit just can't get any deeper)

216 I took German in college, so my default is to pronounce Weiner as "Whiner". Which is just as apropos as the other way for this guy and might some the column up better.
