Should Any ‘Spooky Dude’ Be Allowed To Recast The Global Economy?

by Smitty (via Drudge) Liberty? Sovereignty? Are they quaint notions? The Business & Media Institute reports: Two years ago, George Soros said he wanted to reorganize the entire global economic system. In two short weeks, he is going to start – and no one seems to have noticed. On April 8, a group he’s funded […]

Helping Ace With His Joe Lieberman Blogging

by Smitty For Heaven’s sake, Ace: you can’t have a title like Joe Lieberman: “You Can’t Stay Out of These Things [Foreign Wars Like Libya]… You Have To Take Chances” without reaching for the ABBA: Sung from Momar’s vantage, the lyrics take on grotesque irony.

‘Derp’ Must Be The New
‘Shut Up, He Explained’

by Smitty There was a fun exchange on a recent post, Troubleshooting ‘Beyond the Welfare State’, with a certain Mork. Mork: People say they hate “welfare” until they are beneficiaries of it. Plenty of Tea Partiers show up to rallies riding their state-subsidized electric scooters. smitty: The fact that state welfare distorts behavior in anti-liberty […]

U.S. Policy On Libya Explained: It Was All An Esoteric Steven Wright Reference

by Smitty Looking at Gateway Pundit’s latest post on Libya, enlightenment struck: the whole apparent disaster is merely a reference to I Have A Pony. Hoft: “Obama Yesterday: Gaddafi Must Go… Obama Today: Gaddafi Can Stay (Video)” Now, quoting Wright from memory: I have a dog named Stay. When he was a puppy, I’d say […]

‘Not Only Wrong, But Dangerous’

Now I see where it started. In the process today of updating readers on his long-running feud with Patterico, Jeff Goldstein linked back to the Nov. 5, 2008, post that started it all. Goldstein linked and quoted Patterico’s post-election assertion that Barack Obama “is fundamentally a good man and a patriot who wants to make […]

Dale Peterson’s PAC

by Smitty This blog’s admiration of Ladd Ehlinger can only be described as shameless. Ladd came to national attention by elevating a minor Alabama race to viral YouTube stardom: Now Dale Peterson has a PAC, translating his serious-as-lung-cancer earnest into yet another voice for American recovery: America is at a crossroads. Criminals and thugs have […]

On ‘Economic Terrorism’: It Pays To Under-React

by Smitty The blogosphere seems to be catching fire concerning Stephen Lerner at Pace University. It sounds like really ‘spooky dude’ stuff. Combined with JounoList, it makes conspiracy theories about the 2008 economic cratering seem tempting. I’m wondering when the counter-sting will occur. With the Left reeling from Beck/Breitbart/O’Keefe, one of the things I’d expect, […]

When The Police Showed To Break Up The Party, Stacy McCain Personally Requested Some Brutality

by Smitty And I, for one, could sympathize: I am, of course, taking egregious liberties with facts in that title. Thanks to M. Joseph Sheppard for a link to a jolly good online album. And if that’s not enough reading for you, check out Sir Jimmie of Bise for his ‘Clearing the Browser Tabs‘ post.
