Sitemeter Profiles Robert Stacy McCain

by Smitty Sitemeter caught Stacy McCain after a recent Insta-lanche for the Krauthammer for President post, and profiled Stacy as he lay on the couch…pontificating: Go, Stacy!

Will ObamaCare Lead To Increase Or Decrease For Butt Drugs?

by Smitty (via Ukulele & ATJ via The Agitator) One one level, the whole notion of ObamaCare could make it the most expensive suppository in human history. On the other hand, the pros from Dover, who couldn’t lead two nuns in one minute of silent prayer, are guaranteed to accidentally wreck any sort of local […]

In Case You Missed the Oscars

Thanks to Michael Tunison at the New Ledger for this: It was for many years my duty, as Sunday night editor on the national desk at the Washington Times, to compile and update our “from combined dispatches” stories about the Oscars, Grammys and Emmys — through three editions. I don’t miss that at all. Awards […]

Things About The Left That Mystify

by Smitty American Power has a post on radicals abandoning BHO over foreign policy.

Krauthammer for President?

Bloggers aren’t supposed to call attention to their advertisements (i.e., gaming the click-throughs) but the AdSense rotation just featured an ad for a product clever enough to be legitimately newsworthy:  OK, who wants to organize the “Draft Krauthammer Committee”?

The New York Times admits to acting as a “fence” for a word thief: Zachery Kouwe, a Times business reporter for a little over a year, resigned last month after he was accused of plagiarizing from The Wall Street Journal. . . .
