Dodging Federalism

by Smitty I don’t dispute Andrew Ian Dodge’s point about fiscal vs. social conservatism here in the Examiner: In order to retain those in the middle, non-commital and of other parties that have become part of the tea party movement its essential to produce a spectacular event, or rather events, on 9/12 in DC, St […]

VRWC in the Last Frontier

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Politics up here seems to be a matter of constant intrigue, and if you think the shenanigans ended with Lisa Murkowski’s concession speech, you’re wrong. However, I can say no more about the behind-the-scenes maneuvering, as what happens at the Moose’s Tooth Pub stays at the Moose’s Tooth Pub: Anchorage talk-radio legend […]

Paco Enterprises Takes Us All To Task

by Smitty Paco eloquently makes the argument that BHO is our common cross: Permit me to anticipate a complaint: “Hold the phone, there, amigo! I didn’t vote for him! What do I have to repent of?” Let us be rigorously fair in the matter: we are all to blame. Who among us doesn’t have a […]

They said the hostages were safe. […]

The Night They Drove Old Murky Down

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Front page of the local paper: “Murkowski concedes” not “Miller wins.” It’s about her, you see? And notice how, by delaying her concession until the absentees were counted, Murkowski cheated Miller’s supporters out of their chance to celebrate together on Primary Night. A volunteer at Joe Miller campaign HQ checks Ace of Spades […]

SOS: Sissypuss, Obama, And Skippy

by Smitty Sissypuss was all set to review the POTUS prime-timer, and then Stacy blew town for Alaska. Fortunately, Stacy’s goth twin Skippy was in between rehearsals with “Lips Can’t Go”, his Alien Sex Fiend tribute band, and was thus available, and they got together in the basement, along with some catnip and pudding, and […]

Allahpundit, It Was Blatantly Obvious To Even The Most Casual Observer

by Smitty Allahpundit may be losing his touch, as he cannot come up with a metaphor for this: The helicopter represents the Ruling Class, leaving the man with the Sword of the Constitution and the hot chick on the ground to represent the Tea Party. The vehicle is the November elecion, the last chance to […]
