Open Thread: Internet trolls go outside
What happens when an Internet troll goes outside? Open Thread.
Good Morning Open Thread
A little Kirkean thought that came up in an email discussion: It’s important we remember the difference between a conservative, who has ideas, and a leftist who has an ideology. Ideas are flexible. ideology is not. Thinking men and women with ideas can disagree. Ideologues who disagree must shun and destroy each other. Open Thread.
Gallimaufry Open Thread
In honor of Fire Joe Morgan getting the band back together for a day, we bring you a gallimaufry Open Thread. Moe Lane was interviewed at Blogometer. Teaser: “Why, Moe? Why?” Google is not letting go of the Google Voice-to-iPhone Net Neutrality issue, having re-released an unredacted version of its letter to the FCC. It’s going to be delicious when T-Mobile USA bans Skype on | Read More »

Random Meanderings Open Thread
If President Obama drops another point in the Gallup poll tomorrow, then the only Presidents to have fallen faster and worse than he will have been a one-termer and a guy who got impeached. Not only that, but no President ever had a worse Dow Jones Industrial Average drop on Inauguration day than he had, and that was before Death Panels, Health Rationing, flag@whitehouse.gov, rendition, | Read More »
The Buying a Camera Open Thread
With all the talk lately that we should be ready to take pictures of Democrat wrongdoings, I’m wondering if I should get a camera myself. My Blackberry can take pictures, but the pictures it takes would be too blurry to be of much use in a political scrap. So, I put it to the crowd: What are the options? Is it possible to get sharp | Read More »
California Election Returns Open Thread
The Secretary of State has the returns as they come in, now that the polls are closed. In addition to the budget slate on the ballot we have US House district 32′s primary election to replace Hilda Solis, who was nominated by the President to be Secretary of Labor. There’s also the general election for State Senate district 26, to replace Mark Ridley-Thomas, a former | Read More »
“Truth to Power” Open Thread
Just a reminder to the left: You are no longer authorized to use the term ‘truth to power’ to refer to anything you say or do. You got your choice of President, your choice of House Speaker, and your party controls the Senate. You are the power now. It is especially forbidden to defend the President of the United States or his preferred policies with | Read More »
The Perfect Dunk Open Thread
Effective dunk? Check. He slammed it home with authority. Patriotic dunk? Check. He did it in the red, white, and blue. Mean dunk? Check. He put his hand on the head of the Australian center to vault over him, in Australia, in front of the home country crowd. Vince Carter might have made the perfect dunk that year. Open thread. Update: Oh yes, and he | Read More »
Software Update Open Thread [Updated]
Last night I pushed in a batch of changes to Red State. The most notable one is the partial rewrite of the Recommended Diaries feature, including assistance from regular reader George Claghorn. Let’s all recognize and thank him for his help in this. Expect the Rec ist to change in the coming days as the old recs flush out of the system. Open thread. [Update]: | Read More »

Member Diaries Open Thread
In case you didn’t notice, the Member Diaries box is back to its full 40 entries. While it was a good thing, in a sense, that yesterday the box went all the way to 11(!), I think 40 is better. I hope you agree. Open Thread.

AOL Open Thread
Did you know that last night we were getting more traffic at once than we ever had before? Ben Domenech was linked on the front page of AOL.com, and we were getting crazy numbers of hits for us. And yet we were still able to get in and comment quite a bit. This is before we were able to implement any kind of caching at | Read More »
Site status update and Open Thread
All the really bad problems should be resolved. Anything that’s critical and threatens to keep the site from running properly (Oh you wouldn’t believe it if I told you some of the things that weren’t working yet) is fixed and/or implemented. Sorry Becker, but the Recommended Diaries list is high on my list of features to work on now. Consider this an Open Thread for | Read More »
