Andrew Breitbart — my dear wild friend, who died yesterday at the heartbreakingly young age of 43 — could have become a mainstream media mogul, perhaps the first true mogul of the Internet era. There was a moment, a few years ago, when the size of his role in the Great Media Disruption that was the Internet suddenly came clear to the world, and every magazine of note and every newspaper of importance was chronicling him. If he’d been a man of conventional ambitions, he would’ve taken up the offers to introduce him to hedge-fund guys, raise a pile of...

At issue is not whether the wood in question was endangered, but whether the wood was the correct level...

AND NOW . . . amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first- and second-hand premium cigar smoke. . . it is time for . . . that harmless, lovable little fuzz ball, the highly-trained broadcast specialist, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, from behind the golden EIB microphone, firmly ensconced in the prestigious Attila-the-Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, serving humanity simply by showing up, and he’s not retiring until every American agrees with him, do NOT doubt him, with shrieks of joy at the mere mention of his name...

"I've got videos. This election we're going to vet him" "To show why racial division and class warfare are central to what hope and change was sold in 2008." "The videos are going to come out; the narrative is going to come out that Barack Obama met a bunch of silver ponytails back in the 1980s like Bill and Bernadine Dohrn, equally radical, who said one day we're going to have the presidency. And the rest of us slept while they plotted...."

Daily Caller founder Tucker Carlson “mischievously” bid on a dinner with none other than the “Bonnie and Clyde of the radical left,” Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. And, of course, he invited pal Andrew Breitbart to come along. “It was Look Who’s Coming to Dinner, Part II,” Breitbart joked.

Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles. We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.

I love reporting stories that the Complex...

Conservative Filmmaker Stephen K. Bannon's Victory Session radio show caught up with Big Government's Andrew Breitbart at Chicago's Drake Hotel bar last Sunday. Bannon interviewed a euphoric Breitbart just moments after his Super Bowl Sunday dinner with Bill "What a country. It makes me want to puke" Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn.
