Santelli To Liesman: You Can’t Drink Yourself To Sobriety

by Smitty The title is a summary of Santelli’s point here: Santelli points out that there is no way to keep Zimbabwe Ben from quaffing away at his bottle of Jethro’s 120 Proof Market Fixer-Upper And Hinge Lubricant. Liesman asks, metaphorically, what else Zimbabwe Ben should drink, and Santelli repeats that the market is going […]

He’s Not the Jack of Spades

Ace of Spades gets uncomfortable when I praise him too enthusiastically, or maybe he’s just doing that aw-shucks-’tweren’t-nuthin’ humble thing. Being a natural-born extrovert myself, I have no problem with praise, of which I think I get far too little, mainly because people don’t enjoy praising such an obvious egomaniacal showoff. A deficit of praise, […]

The Brilliance Of DC’s Metro Cannot Be Grasped By Reason

by Smitty Jobs, man: jobs. As the video states, DC’s Metro is a magnet for escalator mechanics. The Metro is working hard, trying to maximize the number of people taking home a paycheck, and these unreasonable Reasoners are. . .throwing a wrench in the gears. The other interesting point about Metro is one that you […]

Misandry, Misogyny and Mrs. Romney

Whatever You Do, Don’t Tell Canada: Muslim Women Have Boobies!

Before blogging about this, I first checked Five Feet of Fury to see if the One Good Canadian, Kathy Shaidle, had weighed in. Because she obviously should, and if she had, I would have been obliged to link and quote her. How she could have missed this one, I don’t know. Canadians are in an […]

Barack Obama Deploys The ‘F’ Word

by Smitty Transcript comes from here. #OccupyResoluteDesk Smitty One of the fundamental challenges of our time is building an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules. How do you propose to judge, much less build, ‘fairness’, sir? And as many Americans rush to […]

Helping Instapundit See The Sense In What We’re Doing Right Now

by Smitty Current U.S. policy comes into sharp focus if you presume that the intent is economic slavery for all. Instapundit points to the WaPoo, where Sheila Bair is on about loaning $10 Million to everybody as a means of ‘fixing’ income inequality. Sweet, sweet fascism: taking your Creator-granted liberty, packaging it, and returning it […]

It Could Conceivably Be Worse

My post-primary depression has been hard to shake. Not even dancing up and down on Hilary Rosen cheered me up much. But it could be worse. I could a North Korean rocket scientist. I mean, think about that: You’re a freaking rocket scientist. But you’re in North Korea, arguably the worst totalitarian nightmare since the […]
