Socialist Opiates Are Addictive Indeed

by Smitty The Tenth Amendment Center reprints a fine overview of the Social Security disaster: If the words “general welfare” and “United States” are put in their proper context, then the general welfare provision grants Congress the power “[t]o lay and collect Taxes… to provide for the… group well being of all the United States.” […]

Da Tech Guy Interviews Mattie Fein

The local newspaper can’t be bothered, but she scores big with New Media: “There are serious issues in the district and the voters deserve the issues on the table.” Read the whole thing. Remember it was Da Tech Guy who loaned me the Famous Fedora of Objectivity, which made another celebrity appearance today: Yeah, Mattie Fein has […]

Ron Miller Question And Answer Part 1

by Smitty Previously, we enjoyed Ron Miller’s prepared remarks. Fine stuff. However, in my opinion, Ron hits his stride as he fields questions from the audience. All of the questions and answers are great, but if you’ve time, the first one offers greater philosophical insight. The rest are also good but focus more on current […]

You Got Some Problem With An Ophthalmologist?

by Smitty Jimmie Bise links a Politico article that seems to find fault with the notion of an ophthalmologist serving in Congress. Maybe Rand Paul will be able to see past the garage in the cheek of a caterpillar’s bazooka, which is more than can be said of many in the current parade of clowns. […]

Greetings From California!

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. — My host, Ladd Ehlinger Jr., tells me that this is known as the “Porn Capital of the World,” but that’s not why I’m here or why Ladd’s here. He’s doing political ads, trying to bring to California some of the viral video magic he patented in Alabama. (See: The greatest political ad […]

Quiverin’ And Quakin’ And Quaverin’ At Quayle

by Smitty Drug cartels in Mexico vs. tax cartels in DC? Gateway Pundit (h/t) calls it the most honest ad of this political season. You mileage may vary. Equating DC and Mexican drug gangs may be good, solid, hyper-pragmatic politics, but AZ’s Senator McCain and Quayle’s own family have helped staunch the Progressive tide how, […]
