"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

I DENOUNCE THIS ATROCITY!

I’m not sure which is more profoundly offensive: The song itself, or Richard McEnroe posting it under the title, “A Ron Paul Christmas”: There are so many layers of sick humor atrociously bad taste hate crime involved, I’m not sure where to begin: Orthodox Jews will be horrified by this shiksa‘s expression of carnal lust for Jew-flesh; […]

Et Tu, Blackburn?

by Smitty Early last month I was singing the praises of Rep. Marsha Blackburn, who was taking a bold stand against Net Neutrality and FCC over-reach at the Defending the Dream summit. Via Instapundit, we discover that the legacy media are funding the Stop Online Piracy Act in a big way. The bill, known as […]

Behold, I Bring You Peace, Goodwill, and Also This Gratuitous Vintage Pinup Girl

There are exactly two kinds of ideas in the blogosphere: Bad ideas; and Ideas worth stealing. Therefore I’ll begin with a hat-tip to William Teach at Pirate’s Cove, from whom I swiped the idea of using vintage cheesecake to grab attention for an odds-and-ends aggregation — as Jimmie Bise of Sundries Shack calls it, “clearing the […]

War With Iran? Cue The Fear!

by Smitty Instapundit relays the Mead: In a recent interview with CBS news anchor Scott Pelley, Panetta said “the United States does not want Iran to develop a nuclear weapon.

Robert Reich: Tea Party Strawman Flaming, Not The Greenwich Village Way

by Smitty The right is currently in a struggle to determine whether it will nominate a Ruling Class Overlord who says sufficiently conservative sounding things to take the nomination, the veers to the center to win the election. Alternatively, somebody with both high moral and conservative track records, e.g. Perry, Santorum or Bachmann, could be […]

Because I’m Feeling Kinda Bad About Giving Ace of Spades Such a Hard Time …

. . . I guess it’s time to “pay tribute” by stealing more of his blog content. Like this psychological profile of Occupiers: [M]any of the rank-and-file occupiers feel isolated in their lives, and appear to lack basic community ties such as are provided by participation in clubs, churches, and strong families…. They thus attach […]

Faced With Maxed-Out Race Card, Can Eric Holder Get A Rep. Allen West Bailout? Why, No; No, He Cannot!

by Smitty The blogs have been on about Eric “The Bolder” Holder’s NYT interview, where he few a Hail Jerry* and said that: “This is a way to get at the president because of the way I can be identified with him,” he said, “both due to the nature of our relationship and, you know, […]

For Some Strange Reason, I Was Reminded of Lawrence v. Texas

Or more precisely, a certain dissenting opinion: “The Texas statute undeniably seeks to further the belief of its citizens that certain forms of sexual behavior are ‘immoral and unacceptable’ . . . the same interest furthered by criminal laws against fornication, bigamy, adultery, adult incest, bestiality, and obscenity. Bowers held that this was a legitimate […]
