‘Knock Three Times On The Ceiling If You Want Woobie. . .’

by Smitty ‘. . .twice on the pipe, if the answer is bloh-owe.’ Mental Recession points to the story of the day, the new Richard Miniter book article in the DC Caller (Google malware alert?) about Verlerie Jarrett canceling the bin Laden raid in an elaborate Tony Orlando and Dawn reference that seems to be escaping a […]

Tax Cuts Are Not ‘Spending’

Another reminder that they don’t teach economics at Harvard Law: “Republicans in Congress and their nominee for President believe that the best way to create prosperity in America is to let it trickle down from the top,” said Obama. “They believe that if our country spends trillions more on tax cuts for the wealthy, we’ll […]

Mitt Reveals What ‘It’ Is

by Smitty I admit to having been confused by a certain cryptic utterance for the longest time. Here, for CNN, Mitt lays it out plainly: Success. Prior to this moment, we only had this to go on: If you have it, you don’t need it. If you need it, you don’t have it. If you […]

You didnt tweet that MT @smitty_one_each All conservative bloggers should treat themselves to a daily “You didn’t do that” post. — Jonah Goldberg […]

Is Barack’s “I Didn’t Do That” Reclama Of His 13 July Roanoke Speech Worthy?

by Smitty BHO in Roanoke delivered, after the opening rah-rah, about 5k words.
