The Other McCain

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

Congrats To Another Black Conservative

by Smitty ABC is celebrating his sweet tooth anniversary. I note with some shame that we’ve not been among his top referrers. We need to be linking the chap more.

Weiner Schnitzeled?

by Smitty Trying to go for a slightly less gruesome title than The Lonely Conservative. I can’t think of too many people I’d rather see squeezed out of Congress due to gerrymandering. If they screwed up and left me in charge, I should like to see an open source map algorithm, as well as completely […]

Federal Reserve Offers Increased Kinetic Mumbojumbo Action (KMA)

by Smitty It’s almost as if (a) people are gaining the impression that central banking is the all-time winner in the Faustian bargain sweepstakes, and (b) the word about the peasants gathering pitchforks and torches is reaching fairly high places.

Why Does It Shock Us That GE Paid No Taxes For 2010?

He Who Hates Attractive GOP Women

No, not Sully — I mean the other creep: Excuse me for reminding you that Charles Johnson is still on the Internet. He hasn’t done anything useful in so long, you might not realize he used to be somebody important.

New Motherf–ing Tone 2.0

Because liberals hold a patent on Civility™ they are the sole arbiters of who is or is not in violation: Andrew Brietbart’s ad hominem attack on Van Jones in The Daily Caller — right down to calling him a “commie punk” and “a cop killer-supporting, racist, demagogic freak” — violates the tenets of debate and […]

What A Condescending Pile Of Hooey

by Smitty Troglopundit links an article in the National Journal making the claim that a solid majority of political operatives — 59 percent — said the public didn’t “know enough about the issues facing Washington to form wise opinions about what should be done.” Political positions are about leadership. I’ll cite the Stockdale Leadership Model: […]
