I’ll Bet Hinderaker His Beverage Of Choice That Biden Is Out

by Smitty Power Line: Is there any chance that President Obama will dump Biden from the ticket, as some are urging? I don’t think so. The Obama campaign, more than anything else, is feverishly trying to preserve the illusion that everything is going fine. Replacing Biden would be seen as an act of desperation and–even […]

Dishonorable Disclosures: “The Politicians Just Don’t Get It”

by Smitty About the only criticism I can offer of this video is that the production is kinda flashy. In other words, it’s spot-on, and I’m scraping about to try to find anything at all to say other than: ‘Yep’. This video is a must-see for everyone. #OccupyResoluteDesk, Uncle Choo-Choo, and the rest of the […]

#GuessBidensNextGaffe : Claims His Administration ‘Was Really Just A Gerald Ford Impression’

by Smitty Pressured on the fact that he was actually Vice President under someone named Barack Obama, Biden waxes surly: “So what if I was one heartbeat, a few brain cells, and a lot less plagiarism away.

It’s just that those pesky details, well, they kinda matter in a role as consequential as VP:Then again, maybe Biden is crazy like a fox, and prepping his decision to withdraw from politics to […]

‘Gentleman’ Jim Moran: Collectivist Way Ahead Of Warren And Obama

by Smitty Patrick Murray on FaceBook brings up an old chestnut, featuring my bloody-minded Congresstool in fine form. Here he anticipates the famous Elizabeth Warren diatribe, which also pre-figured #OccupyResoluteDesk’s “You didn’t build that” in Roanoke, VA. Virginia led this country to independence. Jim Moran, living in the shadow of Mount Vernon, would cheerfully lead […]

All Right, Everybody Quit Making Fun Of Matthew Yglesias

by Smitty via (JWF) Yglesias cannot be held to account for mistaking the Paul Ryan for the Congressman who engaged in insider trading after the 2008 housing meltdown: Public Servant Drool Bucket To the best of my knowledge, ‘Gentleman’ Jim Moran has offered no explanation, much less an apology, for the allegations of day trading […]
