Thad McCotter On The House Floor With A Rock Reference So Old, Even Stacy McCain Gets It

by Smitty (via Treacher on Twitter) So the post title is a trifle gratuitous. Sorry. Meanwhile, as seen on Breitbart TV: “The Democratic Party will shut down the government so they can spend more of your money. The Republican Party is committed to keeping the government open and spending less of your money.” “The Song […]

World’s Youngest Blogger Needs Name

by Unborn Son of Smitty Checking in a little early with you readers. I’m not due for launch until July-ish, but already the dark clouds of crisis hang in my future, the way bricks don’t. I need a name that doesn’t suck. My father has suggested “Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus Smith” , which caused […]

Brilliant!

Last year, the National Organization for Marriage hired a 24-year-old kid who, as a high school senior in 2004, had gone door-to-door campaigning for John Edwards in the Iowa Democrat caucuses.

Boehner made the same announcement during a […]

Barbara Mikulski, Maryland Democrat Ezra Klein of The Washington Post claims that a mere […]

Oh, Those Dirty Corporations

by Smitty Judicial Watch notes that the Chicago based corporation called ACORN is on the carpet again: Facing more than a dozen felony charges in Nevada, ACORN pleaded guilty to one count this week for illegally paying canvassers to register voters during the 2008 presidential campaign. The deal means that ACORN will avoid going to […]

I’m In Favor Of A Constitutional Convention, In A Few Years

by Smitty (via Insty) The talk of a Convention is tempting. We had 126 years prior to Woodrow Wilson, who set us on course to become the Progressive State of America in 1913. Completely unfair to credit him with so many of the misdeeds, foreign and domestic, that occurred in the last century, and culminated […]
