Mataconis: Less Guano, Please

by Smitty Mataconis takes Podhoretz to task for asserting that the Chief Justice contradicted himself by discussing ObamaCare in terms of the Anti-Injunction Act for purposes of standing, and then turning around and finding ObamaCare Constitutional as an exercise of tax power. Clearly, Roberts is discussion two very distinct issues in these different section of […]

Save The ObamaCare Adrenalin For GOTV Efforts

by Smitty Surveying the blogs, there is as much certainty about how to interpret Chief Justice Roberts after the fact as there was about the ObamaCare decision prior to issue.

My Son’s Not Brain Dead; That’s His Obama Impression

by Smitty Via Daily Pundit and All American Blogger comes a creepy tale from Old Blighted of some ‘doctors’ who, for whatever reason, didn’t seem interested in doing their job: The Mail reports that Stephen Thorpe, then 17, was placed in a medically-induced coma following a multi-car pileup that had already taken the life of […]

Dean Clancy At FreedomWorks Didn’t Get The Memo

by Smitty And so here is Clancy, nattering on, in defiance of the Received Wisdom that the GOP has no ideas of how to improve health care in the United States. He even blasphemes the Holy Tax Code: The Republicans do have a bunch of ideas for fixing what ails our health care system. I’ll […]

The Cold Civil War

by Smitty My current commute is ~45 minutes. I like to use that time to check in with Stacy, and continue the attempts to guide him along paths of TweeDeck righteousness. We’ll get him there. I also like to chat up my dad, a retired Navy E-7 with a GED who may or may not […]
