McCotter Is McGone?

by Smitty Whoa. The Blaze reports that one of the few semi-real people inside the beltway has ejected: After nearly 26 years in elected office, this past nightmarish month and a half have, for the first time, severed the necessary harmony between the needs of my constituency and of my family. As this harmony is […]

Baldwin Bird-Dogging Bloomberg?

by Smitty Noted Barack Obama sycophant Alec Baldwin has been the victim of rumor-mongering by his brother Billy concerning a possible NYC mayoral candidacy. We’d like to take a moment to peek into a future speech, wherein Alec and his possible SuperPAC, Future American Guidance, take the helm of the Rotten Apple: By following the […]

The Vulgar Left’s ObamaCare Arguments

by Smitty <rant> Regulating commerce; the power to tax. Whatever. Somebody get ahold of Jake Tapper and have him ask that miserable twerp Carney: “How is it not fundamentally dishonest that the Administration cannot make a clear, simple, straightforward case for ObamaCare and just put it out there?” The administration has tacked and jibed over […]

by Smitty I was reminded on Twitter that Stephen Kruiser is The Man, and that prompted me to get this video posted from Saturday. If you only have time for one, take the second, where I give Stephen a pants check and he recognizes me from whenever in the past. The first part is Stephen […]

Progressivism is antithetical to liberty as we know it. The silver lining crew is attempting to find something good in the Thursday’s whuppin’. […]

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. Clearly, John Roberts is a strong contender for the All-Time Shrewdest Judas award. While we can all berate Roberts for not simply doing the minimal […]

Michele Bachmann ObamaCare Decision Response At The SCOTUS

by Smitty “. . .Justice Kennedy, who read from the dissent from [the majority] opinion, and he stated quite emphatically that what happened today is that the Supreme Court in effect re-wrote the ObamaCare legislation. In effect, with their opinion, being a legislative court, as opposed to allowing Congress to make that decision.” “One of […]
