The Tea Party Budget

by Smitty For a printout and a quick glance, The Tea Party Budget scoops Congress in general and the Stupor Committee in particular. Sure, #OccupyResoluteDesk, as well. To achieve these goals, our plan, among other things: Repeals ObamaCare in toto. Eliminates four Cabinet agencies — Energy, Education, Commerce, and HUD — and reduces or privatizes many […]

Is Mitt Getting A Media Pass?

by Smitty Legal Insurrection raises some excellent points: I also pointed to a Chicago Sun-Times article arguing that when Romney was at Bain he used a “plunder” strategy for a number of companies. This is a theme Ted Kennedy used against Romney quite successfully. While new-found Romney supporters like Ann Coulter claim Romney came close […]

Da Tech Guy Covering Herman Cain’s Appearance Today in Nashua, N.H.

The founder of the Axis of Fedora is on the scene and reports a discernible difference in the size and scale of the event compared to when he covered Herman Cain a couple of months ago. Pete promises updates and I’ll try to add more. UPDATE: Union-Leader columnist John Di Staso: Cain’s campaign told the New Hampshire Union […]

How Bad Is Newt Gingrich?

Bad enough that Ann Coulter would rather have Mitt Romney win: So now, apparently, we have to go through the cycle of the media pushing Newt Gingrich. This is going to be fantastic.

So … How Was Your Day?

Yid With Lid Reminisces About #BlogCon11

by Smitty I wish that I could have gone, rather than spending time in Philly, but such is life. The Lid (with some minor punctuation input from me): Over and over during the course of the weekend the Occupiers were like Charlie Brown and the BlogCon bloggers were like Lucy fooling him again by pulling […]

Unexpectedly, Puffington Host Editors Face Uncertainty About The Founders

by Smitty The Puffington Host editors offer this collection of GOP Congressmen using the word ‘uncertainty’. Props to Todd Young, USNA ’95, appearing at 0:55: The Puffington Host, normally such a bastion of wisdom and erudition, is unexpectedly daft here: With the economy in a slump for nearly four years, corporate executives and conservative politicians […]

#BlogCon11 Braced For The Charge Of The Intellectual Lightweight Brigade UPDATE: DaTechGuy Reports #OccupyDenver Is Weak Tea, No Party

by Smitty Pete Da Tech Guy just called. He reports that #OccupyDenver marches every Saturday around noon, when their number swells to as many as 1-to-3,000. The hotel hosting #BlogCon11 has said that any #BlogCon11 attendees who leave the hotel will not be allowed to re-enter during any march past the hotel that could potentially […]
