Eating Crow About Sprinklerman

by Smitty Indeed, Boehner’s great big little cuts seem hardly a cause for capillary bleeding. The anti-Boehner chorus was a tad too shrill, in my estimate. Then again, I had relatively low expectations for the 112th Congress. You have to understand that our Ruling Class overlords still expect Americans to balk at the pain of […]

‘No Poor Man Ever Gave Me a Job’

As an impoverished American — hey, buddy, you wanna try raising six kids on a freelance journalist’s income? — I look on in amusement at the self-described “Patriotic Millionaires” who insist that they should pay more taxes. I agree with Moe Lane: “Raise Your Own Damned Taxes.” Contrary to all the class-warfare demagoguery pouring forth from […]

It’s Time Everyone Keep Their Naughty Bits Under Control

by Smitty This blog was relieved to hear that Girl On The Right’s cleavage is of the ‘First, do no harm’ variety. In fact, I like to think they improve any environment I happen to be in. Well, there you have it. Uplifting freshness for all. GOTR is responding to the The Carbon Trust Footprinting […]

A: Since Most Are Neither Productive, Nor Reproductive, Nor Paying Taxes

by Smitty “Since when is going to work and paying your taxes and raising your kids the alternate lifestyle in this country?” The blame for which, of course, must be laid at the feet of . . . wait for it . . . Boooooowsh. Ahhhh. Hadn’t had a Blame Bush moment in so long. […]

Conservatives: Relax About Boehner

by Smitty I’m totally with Red State on this one. No, they shouldn’t. I think John Boehner is more conservative than Eric Cantor, who’d most likely replace him, but Boehner’s leadership has been crap lately. This deal that got us $38.5 billion in cuts, turns out to not only have gotten us $14 billion in […]

Huffy Arianna And The Circling Sharks

by Smitty Morrissey and the dextrosphere are all enjoying a good chuckle at the expense of the Huffington Post lawsuit. Jonathan Tasini: We’re going to make it clear that, until you do justice here, your life is going to be a living hell. Justice? Really? How does Tasini’s notion of justice relate to things like […]

This Reminds Me of Stalingrad

Earlier this afternoon, I remarked on Twitter how wonderful the Battle of Stalingrad was. Nazis killing Commies and Commies killing Nazis — killing each other by the thousands, day after day, week after week, for months on end. It was a win-win, and the only sad thing is that the battle ended before every last […]

Sputnik or Fort Sumter?

While I was busy commemorating today’s 150th anniversary of the bombardment that began the Civil War, it seems those commie comrades at Google decided to go with the “Bolsheviks in Space” motif: Bob Belvedere is suitably sarcastic: “Sure, why the Hell not. The old Soviet Union was not so bad, you know . . .” We’ve come […]
