Trebling My Doubts On Elena Kagan

by Smitty I’ve been enjoined by the wonderful Cynthia to read Clark’s WSJ piece, as a Kagan apologist over the Solomon Act violation. Cynthia, via email, wishes to highlight that: It wasn’t a Sixties anti-war thing. It WAS an anti-discrimination thing over DADT, which, as you might expect, I think is completely legitimate. All through […]

So, How’s That Whole Party-Switching Thing Working Out for You, Mr. Specter?

“Specter will be less useful to the Democrats now than he ever was when he had an ‘R’ beside his name.” — Robert Stacy McCain, April 28, 2009 Arlen Specter’s belief that he would be welcomed warmly by Democrats was never realistic.

Stock Market Pussy Goes
Where Gravity Leads

by Smitty (h/t Instapundit, who likes him some cat bloggin’) Sissypuss the Bailout Kitty, willing to work that purr as required, landed a job on Wall Street, as a result of all the financial reform afoot. But trying to herd those stocks is just like herding kittens. Despite the best efforts, the only direction they […]

Get Stuffed, Alan Colmes

by Smitty The biggest problem with waxing poetic about our beloved founders and the great love of country that conservatives think is lost on “the liberals” is that they’re nostalgic for a myth. No, Alan, you’re the myth-head: there was indeed a time before the Progressives, when the country was not on a debt-slavery course. […]
