  • Point/Counterpoint: Rumors Of Its Demise Are Exaggerated

    There are those who say that political blogging is dead – replaced by Twitter. To explore the issue, I present a Point/Counterpoint debate between myself and my evil twin brother Jed. MITCH:  Is political blogging dead?  Who cares?  As long as I enjoy doing it, it’s alive! JED: Solipsistic as always, Mitch.  The larger point is this;…

  • It’s Starting To Grow On Me

    My “evil” twin brother Jed sent me an email: Mitch, The overwhelming positive response I got from debuting “Planet Terry” yesterday on your blog really was the wind beneath my wings.  I think this might be my future, after all. I thought I’d share my latest work with your audience first. Many thanks to you…

  • My Evil Twin Jed Is Back

    Periodically, I feature work from my evil twin brother Jed.  Jed isn’t “evil”, per se.  It’s just that twins are just that much more dramatic when they are one’s diametric opposite.  And Jed loves drama. He also loves trying new things.  He’s changed careers.  Again.  After spending five years as a forensic intellectual property lawyer,…

  • Jed Liveblogs His Seance With Sigmund Freud

    (Note from Mitch:  I got this from my “evil” twin brother, Jed.  He believes in some funky stuff, including spiritualism and seances.  While I post his occasional pieces, I don’t necessarily endorse his views). “It’s come to my attention that certain local bloggers have been trying to invoke classical psychoanalysis in critiqueing blogs – namely,…

  • Bring Back The Goons!

    My little-known evil twin Jed writes: When Mitch and I were kids, our teachers used to tell us – threatening the President, even as a  joke, was a bad idea; the Secret Service was always watching for these things.  Our fourth grade teacher, Miss Walburn, told us the story about the kid who’d written a joking threat to President…

  • “Five”

    “Five Dollar.” “Five Dollar, Foot Looooooong”. “Five”. “Five Dollar.” “Five Dollar, Foot Looooooong”. “It’s ca-ca-catching on”. It’s been going through my head nearly every waking moment of the past ten days.

  • …To Just Plain Inexcusable

    The Minnesota Monitor – the region’s Soros-funded propaganda outlet – has been doing its best, it seems, to burnish its rep as a “news” outlet; hiring Steve “Mister Furious” Perry, getting its staff to write more like reporters and less like snot-nosed polemicists, the whole thing.  Is it too little, too late?  We’ll see… But…

  • Jed Speaks

    I got an email from my evil twin brother Jed: I read Robin Marty’s evasive, straw-addled non-review of Indoctrinate U, and had to comment when I read this bit here: As an English major, I picked electives that introduced me to many multi-cultural works. Yet my required classes instead embraced the “white, heterosexual males,” Norman…

  • The Imp Of The Perverse Speaks

    I figure – if Chad can have a “younger brother” who gets to say all the outrageous stuff over on Fraters, why shouldn’t I? Anyway, I got this email today from my evil twin, Jed.  I, like Mitch, am the foremost proponent of Free Speech you will ever meet (which makes sense, since – unlike…
