Anthropogenic Global Warming
Climate Change Myth Threatens
Noble Savage Myth

by Smitty (h/t InstaPundit) Faced with more and more people asking really hard questions about the second most expensive hoax in human history (what can top Marxism?) the Anthropogenic Global WarmingClimate Change community has been forced to explore new means of re-inflating the guilt-bubble: IT’S not just for the last century that humans have been […]

Self-Portrait Of A Blog Writing Its
Own Post

by Smitty In the attempt to be cool like the Instapundit, I was off to see the vampire today for my octofortnightly* donation on the apherisis machine. The Inspiron Mini proves its worth yet again. With the 6-cell battery pack, it represents a great tradeoff between form factor, horsepower, and endurance. The trackpad exhibits some […]

Death by Consultantitis?

Instapundit links some interesting discussion on Republicans and the blogosphere by Dan Riehl at Riehl World View, and Melissa Clouthier weighs in at Liberty Pundits. Once you’ve read all of that, come back and let’s talk. UPDATE: OK, so now that you’ve had time to read Dan and Melissa’s critiques of how the GOP deals with […]

‘The Power To Tax Is The Power To Destroy’

by Smitty (via Insty) Kansas City.com quotes Prof. Reynolds: Everyone should pay at least some income tax. And everyone’s tax bill should go up or down whenever federal spending does. KC.com then asks: Is there a way to more closely align politicians’ incentives with the nation’s long-term financial interest? It’s a lot tougher than it […]

Important Video: InstaVision With Randy Barnett

by Smitty Avail yourself of this breath of mental fresh air. Two serious legal heads not talking over our heads. Rather, a layman’s look at the situation from two gentlemen who really Get It. Included segments, with my informal comments, are: The Constitutionality of ObamaCare: Commerce clause, not so much. As a tax, still reaching. […]

Goldberg And Instapundit

by Smitty Two of your favorite heads heading down the byways of favorite topics together. Jonah was most interesting in discussing the reluctance of the establishment, mostly media (but I’ll venture that his point extends to the GOP proper) to get overly attached to the Tea Parties. Goldberg doesn’t put it this way, but it’s […]
