The Other McCain

Cenk Uygur Is A Tool, And Andrew Breitbart Is A Hero

by Smitty I still haven’t worked with the video from CPAC of Breitbart and Citizens United, but that video promises to more or less explode. The feisty Breitbart works on Cenk here, who seems to throw out the famous ObamaCare spitting incident merely to poke Andrew. I couldn’t make it more that a third of […]

Gabriella Hoffman Axis of Fedora Induction, Plus Odds And Ends

by Smitty The camera hated the guy on the right, especially in the second photo. Gabriella Hoffman more than makes up for me. You all can call me Quasimodo at your liesure:

An Idiot Obsessed With Commenters

What can we say about Charles Johnson’s increasingly desperate efforts to simulate relevance? We will now examine (a) what happened, (b) what Charles Johnson wants us to believe happened, and (c) what the discrepancy between (a) and (b) tells us about Charles Johnson’s pathetic idiocy. OK, what happened: Fox News posted a story on its Web […]

The Wireless Golgotha Of Stacy McCain

Chris Cassone At CPAC12 Discussing
Take Our Country Back

by Smitty The pro-Cassone bias of this blog is unavoidable. We go back several years with Chris, and present with pleasure a quick CPAC interview where he touts his new tome. We cover a variety of topics, including Chris’s support to me while I was on deployment to Afghanistan. Chris is truly a great patriot, […]

Mead Seems Unaware Of How Perverse Use Of Technology By Government Is Wrecking Liberty

by Smitty I’ve been mocking Walter Russell Mead’s series on what the next round of Liberalism will look like. Part IV could be summarized as “Ain’t technology swell?” An inevitable question as we look at the demise of the 20th century economy is how shall we live? As the manufacturing that remains to us becomes […]

Celebrating The Crowd At CPAC, i

by Smitty Gustav Le Bon’s 1895 book The Crowd heavily informed Ann Coulter’s book Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America. Thanks to Ann for the hat tip. Rather than take her route of showing the specific evil effects of the Democrat party, and then quoting Le Bon, it seems needful to go back […]

Quote of the Day

“There are a lot of yellow-stained drawers in Washington Cocktail Party haunts this morning.” — Bill Quick, Daily Pundit The Establishment is nothing if not confident and, although their confidence was surely shaken by Rick Santorum’s Tuesday sweep, Mitt Romney still has an overwhelming advantage in terms of money. The Mitt Machine is probably even […]
