Stupid Is Seven Feet Tall

Yes, I’m talking about Troglopundit: In 1988, I voted for Sen. Paul Simon (D-Illinois) in the Democrats’ presidential primary. There are still a lot of dumb people in Wisconsin. But it was much worse before Sean Hackbarth moved to Washington, D.C.

Will No One Rid Us Of This Troglodyte And His Osama Theories?

by Smitty That didn’t take long. Sir Lance of the Boil is already out trolling for linkage, dragging foul ichor about the floors and generally stinking up the joint. Of course Osama is alive, Lance! He’s cruising with Elvis in Bigfoot’s UFO! (A reference only maybe Belvedere will catch.) Seriously, Trog: don’t you trust the […]

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. […]

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.

The gist is that if one of the four conservative judges on the court, Prosser, is lost on the 05Apr election, then the […]

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: […]

Not The Time To Go Wobbly In Wisconsin

by Smitty Lefty poll blog Swing State Project says that three Republican State Senators are in trouble against a generic Democrat. It would be great to have confidence that the blogging prowess of Ann Althouse, as well as the bloviations of the TrogloPundit and Grandpa John could be counted upon to avert disaster. But the […]

I Guess The Real Question Is: ‘Can An Amphibian Like Troglopundit Be Elected’?

by Smitty Hopes of a domestically boring time period while I’m over by the Hindu Kush have proven futile. One would not have picked Wisconsin as the epicenter of the meltdown, but there it is. The teachers jumped the shark, and the Democrats jumped the border. Chicago Boyz point out that, in addition to quirky […]
