Trog Summarizes Ryan, And Had Me Until The Last Sentence

by Smitty TrogloPundit does a fine job of summarizing thoughts of Ace and Hot Air on the Ryan budget. He wonders what Ryan has to do to get past some of the underwhelmed response in the conservative blogs. I understand you’ve got to cheer for the Representative from your own state, but really, Trog: this […]

Thugland, USA: Baseball Fan Brutally Attacked Outside Dodger Stadium

A 42-year-old paramedic is hospitalized with critical head injuries after he was savagely stomped in the parking lot while leaving a Dodgers-Giants game last week. The injured man, a father of two young children, is a Giants fan and the Los Angeles Times depicts this atrocity as a sports-rivalry-gone-wrong. But Southern California blogger Donald Douglas […]

In Defense of Conor Friedersdorf

by Smitty Let the Tweet tell the tale of his rebuttal of Stacy McCain: That Conor: His nouns are bold, his verbs uncanny. Admit he’s the king of prose, or he’ll whip your fanny!  At least Conor is using TweetDeck. Stacy. Now, since the lone novembered one (for you phonetic alphabet junkies) thinks that he’s […]

More On Lindsey Graham (Don’t Speak Those Four Words Too Quickly)

by Smitty Gateway Pundit stands at the brink of a pit and peers over at a US Senator ignoring the First Rule of Holes. It wouldn’t be so bad if Graham wasn’t in an elected office. Like a flag burner or torcher of anyone’s scripture, Graham should be allowed to make a colossal ass of […]

Are we ready for somebody with competence, experience and human warmth, without so much egomania? I’m willing to say yes. Tim Pawlenty 2012 […]

Cleanup Crew To Lindsay Graham’s Office. Or: With Senators Like That, Who Needs The Constitution?

by Smitty (via IowaHawk on Twitter) Blogprof has the clip: Mark Steyn is truly the human chainsaw of sarcasm, but his wrecking of Lindsay Graham is a wonder: I have no expectations of Harry Reid or the New York Times, but I have nothing but total contempt for the wretched buffoon Graham. A mob of […]

Sully: ‘We Are Damn Lucky to Have Him at This Fraught Moment in History’

“Him” of course being President Obama, who still moves Andrew Sullivan to paeans of gratitude, no matter how un-constitutionally Bush-like or wrong-headed Obama’s actual policies might be. Did you say “Battered Wife Syndrome“? Yeah. Everybody sees it, except the victim who refuses to take responsibility for enabling his own abuse. Meanwhile, with our brilliant European […]

Facts Are Stubborn Things

Following up on this morning’s radio debate with Little Miss Attila, I found myself interrogated in the comments by Attila’s ally, Darleen Click of Protein Wisdom, who now wants to debate women in the military. This endless appetite for argument — the women’s point being that any man who criticizes feminism qua feminism must be wrong […]
