Join Ricochet; Appear as Guest on Fox News
Maybe you’ve heard Rob Long or Peter Robinson, our illustrious founders, say that “Ricochet is read in the corridors of power,” but thought it sounded like a sales pitch. I’ll believe it when I see it, you said.
Don’t believe us? Ask Shawn Buell, aka Majestyk, whose Main Feed post yesterday, “Actual Analysis Indicates We Aren’t Doomed,” so interested Fox News that they asked him to come on The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson this afternoon.

Very Cool
Really cool, Majestyk!
Majestyk, you went to Mines? My little girl is there now, and loving it!
I’ll have to show her this!
Nice Job, congrats, I’d be afraid of coming off like Ralph Kramden. Is that a Starship Enterprise Pin?
I think they should have flashed his avatar image at the end of the clip. You know to give him real cred with the party animal demographic
Way back in the early days of the internet, I wrote an article against polygamy. Soon after, I was contacted by a producer asking me if I wanted to appear on the Queen Latifah show to defend monogamy.
I wrote back: “Who is Queen Latifah?”
I never heard from them again. I don’t know why.
Still. It counts as another piece of evidence that you never know where your postings might take you, doesn’t it?
1/2 portion….
Congratulations Shawn Buell!
The very word. I thought when I read it that Majestyk’s analysis was the best I’d seen–and this during several days in Washington, where everyone’s a commentator. Couldn’t be prouder!
Majestyk is the king of all media, for a day. Nice job man.
Nice work Shawn. Those tiny pinpoint cameras in little dark rooms are never easy. Well done indeed!
Majestyk for president!!
Super job!
Well done! Not everybody can produce a position that’s both intelligent and original.
Next time, wear the batsuit.
Have you been on live TV before? You sure have good composure.
My insides felt like they’d been infested with writhing snakes.
Negative – that’s a School of Mines Alumni Association pin.
Nicely done, Shawn, or whatever your real name really is!
Peter, I have a whole new-found respect for people in the television business after today. When I went back to the office and the inevitable high-fives were being passed around, I have never been more glad to start working on an engineering specification than I was this afternoon!
Thank you for making what you do on Uncommon Knowledge look so graceful.
Let’s give credit where credit is due…. Yer Parents knew how to spell Shawn.
The suit and tie were different – black as opposed to charcoal. Shirt is the same. :)
Sorry, the tape begs to differ. Kudos
Good for Ricochet! I’d love to see a bigger R> presence on Fox and other right-leaning media outlets.
Great job M! Congrats!
Did any of that Green Room stuff rub of on you? Smashing job.
Great job! This is really awesome.
But be careful, the next thing you know it will be invitations to cocktail parties in Georgetown and Manhattan and then you’ll be an establishment squish.
Obviously it’s Claire.
Congratulations, Majestyk!
And, now that they know it’s not just us bums reading their posts, other Ricochet members can share the feeling!
This is so freaking cool! Nice job, Majestyk!
