The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Rep. Ryan Pulls Weekly GOP Address Duty

by Smitty via (No Sheeples Here) Government has not been telling us the truth? Really? We need to get behind Paul Ryan and demand accountability, both from our government and ourselves. And when you’ve had your fill of sobriety, Iowahawk shreds Lindsey Graham. My experience has only served to underscore Miss Buelah’s perspicacity, for I […]

Allen West: A Firm ‘No’ on Budget Deal

by Smitty The Hill has it briefly, Liberty Pundits picked it up, and Cubachi elaborates with a Fox clip elaborating on his opposition: West is such a mensch he scared Debbie Wasserman-Schultz out of the Florida delegation. Given sufficient Allen West clones, I think the country’s problems are solveable. The question would move to where […]

Thad McCotter On The House Floor With A Rock Reference So Old, Even Stacy McCain Gets It

by Smitty (via Treacher on Twitter) So the post title is a trifle gratuitous. Sorry. Meanwhile, as seen on Breitbart TV: “The Democratic Party will shut down the government so they can spend more of your money.

REPORT: Deal Struck, Averts Shutdown (Insert ’30 Pieces of Silver’ Joke Here)

I’d been planning to go to bed early but stayed awake long enough to catch this: President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said tonight that lawmakers have agreed on a temporary extension of government funding, averting a government shutdown while Congress considers a longer-term budget agreement. Boehner made the same announcement during a […]

New Motherf–g Tone Update: Government Shutdown Edition

“We are heading to a shutdown not because of a debate over money, not because of a debate over cuts but because Republicans continue to push a radical agenda against women . . . throwing women and children under the bus.” — Sen. Barbara Mikulski, Maryland Democrat Ezra Klein of The Washington Post claims that a mere […]

I Dig Getting Paid, But Which Is Cheaper: Five Months Pay Lost, Or ObamaCare?

by Smitty Again cribbing the Mighty Instapundit, “I’ll believe it’s a crisis when the people telling me it’s a crisis start acting like it’s a crisis.” Up to the plate steps Michele Bachmann, and the baseball (not to mention the foppish excuse for a pitcher cluttering the mound) weeps in fear: “Because of this discrepancy […]

Pawlenty’s Drunk Campaign Staffer Arrested for Trespassing in Iowa

Ben Foster, 24, was arrested after he tried to break into a house in Ankeny, Iowa, at 3 a.m. A staffer for the Tim Pawlenty presidential exploratory campaign, Foster was evidently so drunk he mistook the house in Ankeny for the place he was staying — 10 miles away in Johnston, Iowa. Both towns are suburbs […]
