These days, a thing hasn't happened if it hasn't happened to the internet. If you don't read about a story online, does it exist? Here at RedState, we say absolutely not. So in order to make the first Thanksgiving more real, to bring it home for us all, we've compiled some screenshots that show HOW THE INTERNET WOULD HAVE COVERED THE FIRST THANKSGIVING A Compilation So Compelling You'll Swear You Were There

Is there a more dishonest person in America than the vile lie peddler Karoli Kuns? Certainly, we cannot rule this out, considering that 66 million people voted to re-elect President Obama. One might write an entire book about the perverse mind of Karoli Kuns, whose attitude toward Republicans can best be understood by studying Pol Pot’s attitude toward opponents of the Khmer Rouge. There is no standard of decency Karoli Kuns recognizes as limiting the falsehoods she writes about anyone who doesn’t vote Democrat. For her, the destruction of Republicans is an end that justifies any means. Karoli Kuns wakes...

OR IS THIS A POINTLESS DEBATE OVER A "SHIELD LAW?" Are we starting to get under the skin of U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (RINO-S.C.)? At first glance it would appear that way … Graham, a frequent target of this website’s criticism (due to his frequent awfulness), suggested this week that bloggers don’t deserve one of the most basic freedoms guaranteed to all Americans under the U.S. Bill of Rights. “Who is a journalist is a question we need to ask ourselves,” Graham said earlier this week. “Is any blogger out there saying anything – do they deserve First Amendment protection?...

An explosive, feature-length documentary hitting an expanded roster of theaters nationwide on May 17 offers a captivating look at the larger-than-life personality of the late Andrew Breitbart – a controversial new media pioneer whom the left vilified and the right hailed as an American hero. Coming more than a year after the sudden and mysterious death of the crusading 43-year-old journalist, the film Hating Breitbart was initially screened in a few theaters in October shortly before the presidential election, but is expanding to 10 markets nationwide on Wednesday, along with the film’s simultaneous release on DVD and video-on-demand.

(Associated Posers) – Richport, Maine – Although far outside of any danger zone from hurricane Sandy the incumbent mayor of Richport, Rodney Johnstone, is calling for elections to be post-poned for several weeks. “We will be getting heavy rains, possibly hail, for days. Roads will be flooded, trees will be down. People will not be able to reach polling locations”. The mayor is polling several points behind challenger Henry Morgan who is already confident of a victory. He says the mayor's call for delaying the election is “a ridiculous attempt to buy time”. Sandy, which is barely a hurricane won't...

I would encourage that each of us adopt a blog or two. Register, get in, and crush the opposition with facts, history, humor, and etiquette. Don't get into personal mud-slinging. Challenge opponents to cite factual sources, not feelings. Most local papers have an online edition, and most online editions have a blog or a forum. Pick one, get in, and dominate. The Truth is on your side. I'm having the time of my life. Remember, a lot more people view the forum than actually post. You are trying to sway the votes of the viewers. You will never convince the...

I've been here long enough to know that blogpimping is frowned up. But then I looks up after x number of years and see the 'Bloggers and Personal' section of FR. Is it ok to post self-blogged content to this area?

Ok, why should I care? I was notified a while back that I would be in the top 25 Circle of Moms Political Mommy Blogger race, where we are supposed to get people to vote for us to win...nothing. Big deal, right? However, my first inclination was to try to gather those whom I thought would vote for me and ask them to keep voting, (you can vote once a day,) until the competition ends at 4pm PT, 7pm ET on April 4th. So, like most things in my life I forgot about it, until a couple of days ago,...

Sometime this afternoon my blog at www.ourrvadventures.wordpress.com was archived or disabled for violation of their Terms of Service. This blog details my wife and my travels in our RV. I have no idea what I could have done to violate the Terms. I've had this blog for 3 years and never had a problem. I contacted Workpress earlier this afternoon, but still haven't heard back. Anyone have any ideas, or a better way to handle this, maybe the home phone number of the president of Wordpress?

I spent a good portion of today monitoring the positively horrible postings on various Leftist sites and on the Facebook accounts of proud adherents of “The Tolerant Left” — observing the absolute glee they’re taking in Andrew Breitbart’s sudden death yesterday. If you’re a regular reader here, you’ll know I trot out “the Death Star obliterating Alderaan” analogy quite frequently — because the scene resonates with me in especially trying times, as it’s one of the earliest memories I have of seeing something up on a movie screen (having most likely seen it for the first time during one of...

Indignant voices from the rightmost fringes of the Blogosphere... Toons/links at Reaganite Republican Have a great weekend, everybody~

Pundit Press is proud to present interview number 46 in our ongoing series. Our interviewee requires no introduction. One of the top bloggers on the net, Pamela Geller has been leading the fight against Islamofascism and runs Atlas Shrugs. We thank her for her time. 1. When and why did you start Atlas Shrugs? After 911 I felt guilty I did not know who had attacked this country. And when I found out, I felt guilty I didn't understand the ideology that would inspire such hate and mass murder. Increasingly I turned to the web because the media was derelict...

Pundit Press is proud to present interview number 45 in our ongoing series. Today, we're interviewing Tanni Haas, who authored Making it in the Political Blogoshphere. The book includes interviews with over twenty of the most influential political figures on the web. We thank Dr. Haas for taking part in this interview. 1. When and why did you decide to write Making it in the Political Blogosphere? I decided to write the book a couple of years go. It occurred to me that the insights and experiences of some of the world's most successful political bloggers would be of interest...

After years in the shadows of major media sites, blogs have come into their own. They now compete directly with the most well-funded online content sites, many of which are owned by the largest media companies. With the rise of several blogs, which are extremely successful both financially and editorially, the mainstream content corporations have tried to either flank or buy them. Many mainstream companies like The New York Times have started dozens of blogs of their own. Those who want evidence of the financial value of blogs need look no further than the buyout of The Huffington Post by...

Link only Notice is about Top of the Ticket blogger, Andrew Malcolm, moving on from LA Times. Look for him at Investor's Business Daily.

Some observers have noted that history doesn't always repeat itself, but that it does tend to rhyme. This was first alleged about geopolitics, but it appears to be true in many areas of life: the cycle of economic boom and bust, climactic cycles, from La Nina and El Nino to glaciations, and even management fads ("Empty what's full; fill what's empty; and scratch where it itches.") In particular, one can see such occurrences play out over time in the retail sector. When I was young, there were comparatively few chain stores, and most of those were regional, not national. (This...
