The Other McCain

Are We Really Just Too Stupid To Merit Free Elections Anymore?

by Smitty A Montana case on corporate spending on campaigns is exhuming the hoary specter of the Citizens United ruling: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, joined by Justice Stephen G. Breyer, also supported the delay, but said that the case “will give the Court an opportunity to consider whether, in light of the huge sums currently […]

Notes on an Unfinished Letter of Apology (Or, Does Ed Morrissey Torture Cats?)

“Television, naturally enough, is biased toward compelling visual imagery, and in almost all cases the charms of a human face take precedence over the capabilities of a human voice. It is not essential that a TV newsreader grasp the meaning of what is being reported . . . What is essential is that the viewers […]

Is Troglopundit A Stealth Kennedy?

by Smitty In a rare moment of unseriousness, I noted the resemblance between swamp-man Burri and Joe Kennedy III. Yet this Week in Automotivators features Lancelot du Bog seeming to hint at some deeper coincidence than the superficial. There might be time later to ponder the hidden message here, but right now the black helicopters […]

by Smitty So says Joe Kennedy III in a campaign video, opting to run for the seat vacated by the unlamented Barney Frank. It may be that the Kennedy brand has recovered from the passing of Ted.

See also: Meg Whitman, Carly Fiorina, and Linda McMahon. And that’s […]

Our Tolerant Liberal Overlords (Unexpectedly!) Mock Dancing Lesbian

She insists on being known as “A Conservative Lesbian, Cynthia Yockey,” because that gets her to the top of any alphabetically ordered blogroll, at least until I change the name of this blog to “AAA Homophobic Sexist Patriarchal Theocratic Right-Wing Swine.” But I digress . . . A video of Cynthia dancing to a rap […]

The New Media Proletariat

It is rather a painful thing to acknowledge that Joy McCann is onto something when she remarks about the advent of a two-tiered blogging hierarchy. And it is even more painful to see my friend Jerry Wilson’s expressions of resentment toward Ed Morrissey about this. In all honesty, despite what anyone may suspect from certain […]

Is Ian Masters Looking For A Job In, I Don’t Know, Say, Tennessee?

by Smitty Valley of the Shadow points out Ian Masters, an LA radio personality of some note, who really seems to dig him some anti-Semitism. Read all of Joe Fein’s debunking of a sad situation in LA.  It brings to mind Charlotte Bergmann, whom I saw cruise through the blogger lounge at CPAC, but had […]
