Conspicuously Absent Words

by Smitty Reading Lefties can be a source of sad amusement. Curtis Valentine at PuffHo has a piece trying to find the ointment on the economic fly.

Her Wonderful Career

OK, so I was sitting in my home office this afternoon and, as usual, CNBC was on the office TV. When I sit at my desk typing, the TV is behind me and off to the right side. It’s usually tuned to CNBC during the day so that by swiveling my chair slightly, I can glance over and catch the […]

Sex, Science, Monogamy and Survival

While checking in to see what Dave Weigel was doing at Andrew Sullivan’s “Daily Dish” — addressing the Trig Truther problem, among other things — I came across Chris Bodener’s latest post in a series, “The Evolutionary Case Against Monogamy,” which is every bit the bass-ackward exercise in Darwinian pretzel-logic that you might imagine.

Declaration Entertainment: Putting A Scowl On A Commie Near You

by Smitty If you had to think of an image that summarizes Hollywood, yet is still mostly safe for work, I should think that ‘The Worst Toilet In Scotland’ might suffice.

Miley Cyrus Shows Her Underwear

The 17-year-old’s post-Disney sluttification continues: Miley Cyrus put on a display of sheer daring while shooting a video clip in LA yesterday. The 17-year-old star was spotted running barefoot around a car park in a transparent sundress that revealed her cream bra and knickers.  . . . In a scene that might make her Australian […]
