Important Points About The ‘One Nation’ Rally Overlooked By Many

by Smitty The rally was a modern art statement in litter. Conservatives hate art, which is why they don’t understand the important expression on display. The rally was economic stimulus in litter. It was crucial that the attendees generate work for other people. Found in the clutter: a handmade sign “Bite Us, Frédéric Bastiat” (I […]

Al Gore Answers Victor Davis Hanson

by Smitty Yes! The toil of making a transcript of Gore’s remarks last weekend in support of “Gentleman” Jim Moran pays off. Victor Davis Hanson has one of his excellent ruminations (RTWT) over at Pajamas Media, and poses a question: 4. The Plutocratic Party? I cannot fathom how the Democratic Party became run by those […]

VIDEO: A Short Tea Party Overview

by Smitty “The Tea Party: Brewing up a movement” features none other than the Instapundit, especially on the origins of the Tea Party, and other good speakers, like Dr. Bruce Wheeler, an historian.

October Surprise?

by Smitty Insty is fishing. But BlogProf brings the bait. Go hard or go home, say I: WASHINGTON, DC, 2x October, 2010: An unusually wooden President Barack Obama announced his immediate resignation in the Rose Garden today, citing medical concerns. In a un-presidented move, Joe Biden declined to take the oath, allowing House Speaker Nancy […]

A Short List . . .

. . . of Astoundingly Stupid Things No Conservative Blogger in His Right Mind Would Ever Even Think About Doing: Publish posts conflating “neocons” and “Jews” in such a way as to provoke accusations of anti-Semitism. Respond to such accusations by publishing deranged rants against Jews. Get into hateful public pissing matches with Ace of […]

Megan McArdle, Trapped By Quaint Terminology

by Smitty Insty links Megan using old, tired terms like “seignorage.” The new hotness, quantitative easing, readily obviates the difficulties by doubling the word and syllable count. Also, an opaque and unaccountable Federal Reserve is a handy source of shenanigans to keep that stock market bubble inflated. Let our economy be a triumph of style […]
