How Robert Stacy McCain First Got to Know “Big Sexy.”

March 20, 2009

[Yes; it's another "inside blogball" post, as Iowahawk would put it. But the funny video links are to die for!]

What Stacy McCain doesn’t tell in you in that post is that he once spent a weekend in Santa Barbara with young Jason Mattera circa November of 2007. The crack reporters from Team Attila have uncovered photographic evidence:

Young Jason Matt, by day.

Mattera. Jason Mattera. Jason undercover, but without his trademark two-day beard growth and trusty bandana.

Youngster Jason even put Mr. McCain—who was said to be travelling without his bride—up in a luxurious hotel there, right on the ocean. I mean, I don’t want to spread rumors, but the public has a right to know.*

Thanks to some excellent reportage by Ed Morrissey, we now also know that Jason Matt doesn’t have a passive bone in his body, by the lad’s own admission. Interestingly, the pix of him above were numbered “0027″ and “0007″ by the brownies of Canon.

Stacy, having thoroughly investigated the talented youngster’s background, tells this reporter that Mattera is “25, and legal.” Now, how would he know that? Was he legal in the autumn of 2007? You do the math.

Meanwhile, Cynthia Yockey has offered to be the impartial judge of the upcoming jello-wrestling grudge match between Monique Stuart, aka HotMES, and Suzanne Logan (”Clever Slogan”), over Young Mr. Matt. Just give me enough notice on that wrestling match to find a cheap red-eye to the East Coast, folks! I’m already missing too many parties!

Oh, and of course people love Jason’s undercover work among hard-core leftists; I’ll bet even my liberal Democratic friends will giggle at them. For instance, there’s this one at the DNC, eclipsed only by the classic “What Are We Protesting?” installment. Or perhaps by the “Waterboarding” episode.

Then there is, of course, the Mattera “Awkward Questions” series, starring Charlie Rangel,” Jack Murtha, and William Jefferson. (Also, check out the Ted Kennedy one, and the John Kerry installment.)

Finally, here’s Big Sexy on Fox & Friends, talking about Barack Obama’s impending Epic Fail among the nation’s youth. He also broke the story of ACORN’s sister organization, WALNUT. (And here’s more on WALNUT.)

And, yes: I will be providing more content soon on the YAF, Reagan Ranch, and the Reagan Ranch Center in downtown Santa Barbara, along with the ties between YAF and California’s bitchin’ history.

Unfortunately, I’ll probably have to bundle my next trip to the Reagan Center in with my next “oil-production field trip,” and research two issues at the same time. I might be a dyed-in-the-wool Californian, but I’m also a working woman. Feel free to subsidize my energy-blogging and my research into Golden State history; I gotcha a PalPal button and everything. Here you go:

See? You can support Big (Young) Sexy by sending money to Little (Middle-Aged) Sexy! Or maybe you’re supporting independent journalism, or something. You tell me. After all, you’re the customer. And you’re always right.

But Momma needs a new gun. Bad. A rifle, this time: mild recoil, iron sights, somewhere north of a .22. Or maybe a rimfire with fancier optics. Or a coach-style scattergun, though I don’t know if I can justify that since I already have the Franchi 20-gauge.

* Okay. Maybe it wasn’t so much Jason, as the YAF. And perhaps in addition to R. Stacy McCain, Young America’s also hosted Jeff Goldstein and his wife; the Ace of Spades; Rusty Shackleford; and some other minor-league bloggers and center-right reporters of no particular interest or import, but of absolute integrity and unimpeachable objectivity.
