Propaganda Known Is Propaganda Failed

by Smitty Really, now: The casual browser, given only this image, is left to conclude that #OccupyResoluteDesk is a strong, statesmanlike fellow, who has become to the Democrats the giant that Reagan is to the Republicans. Mitt Romney, in contrast, is some tiny cartoon character whose identity is bound up in a church for which […]

“He’ll Nail Those Debates”

by Smitty Althouse channeling Melinda Henneberger trying to figure out how BHO would stage a 2016 comeback. Hahahahahahaha. The only sense in which BHO would nail a debate in some future election cycle would be if he was giving someone a manicure in the little beauty shop he works in while the debates are on […]

@hardball_chris ‘Pecksniff’ Matthews Goes After Welch’s Calling BS On BLS

by Smitty “It’s not funny, Jack.” Why, yes it is, Mr. Matthews. You act the peevish little schoolmarm here, attempting to beat up Jack Welch for daring to state something that is known in the Court of Public Opinion: the BLS is AFU. The last 64 revisions to initial jobless claims have been >= 0. […]

Epistemic Closure Redux: The Campaign, the Debate and the Jobs Report

The Left’s reaction to Wednesday’s debate and Friday’s job report illustrates why the political conversation in America has become so hopelessly discordant. We are not arguing about two candidates or two parties, but two worldviews. Bad news for President Obama challenges the belief system of the Left; it is not enough for them merely to dispute facts, […]

A Different Spin On Obama’s Denver Clock-Cleaning

by Smitty Daily Pundit links VDH in yet another rational review of What Went Wrong In Denver. Sure, as far as it goes. But if I may “. . .think of a man, and. . .take away reason and accountability“, maybe we need to recall that the Obama Administration is nothing if not the ultimate […]

Not Since Johannes Gutenberg …

. . . published the Bible has any book deserved more enthusiastic hype than does Evan Sayet’s new book The Kindergarten of Eden: How the Modern Liberal Thinks and Why He’s Convinced That Ignorance Is Bliss. You will click this link. You will buy this book. You will read it, and your mind will be enlightened […]

Is America Ready For A President Who Can Humbly Say I Was ‘Completely Wrong’?

by Smitty NRO hasn’t got any embed code I can find, but Mitt on Hannity definitely mowed on crow for his 47% remark. What a refreshing development, after four years of “There is no personality conflict: I’ve got the personality, you’ve got the conflict” from #OccupyResoluteDesk. The Romney campaign should find subtle ways to underscore […]

If An Authority On The Bigger Digger Rigger Trigger, Like Snoop Dogg, Says This, Then The Case Is Closed

by Smitty Source: The Blaze. If everyone can successfully be labeled using the adjectiveepithet ‘nigger’, then the word has achieved the innocuousness of a three-letter word for a young man. I am so fed up with those who pervert the language with follow-on, pejorative meaning the speaker never intended, I could just scream. It’s one […]
