In Praise Of Gridlock

by Smitty Karl over at Hot Air links some Scalia goodness on C-SPAN on the Constitutional role of judges. It got me to thinking, though: if federal over-reach is the problem, gridlock may be a powerful tool to limiting government overreach. If it just hurts too bad to try to get the government federal government […]

. . .And The Government You Elected Is Occupying Your Bank. Go Figure.

by Smitty Furthermore, the tools of Wall Street are occupying your Government. Grok capitalism, and a coherent thought may occupy your noggin, ye Orange-Wreathed Sloth of #OccupyWallStreet. So, go protest a bank, why don’t you?

Dennis The Constitutional Peasant Lives! UPDATE: Ali Akbar Says ‘Rep. Lewis, Come On Down!’

by Smitty Via email from Warner Todd Huston, who introduces this video: A bunch of child-like protesters in Atlanta, Georgia refused left-wing Congressman John Lewis — a civil rights icon to many — to be allowed to address the crowd this weekend. The whole scene is reminiscent of the worst, hackneyed, new agie-styled preschool program […]

#OccupyIowahawk

During a long phone conversation with Dan Collins today, we talked about “Occupy Wall Street.” I mentioned that the only thing I’d written on the topic was a post praising the restraint of the NYPD in not opening fire on those useless motherf–king protesters.

by Smitty Allahpundit: The most ridiculous (and, if you’re sympathetic to them, tragic) thing about OWS is that they’re trying to mobilize the left against “the system” at the very moment the left is mobilizing to re-elect the guy who’s in charge of the system. The system is simply over-centralized. DC’s answer to the #OWS […]

Reason TV At #OccupyWallStreet

by Smitty One is stunned, and left to wonder where these people [Update: yes, the #OWS weenies, not the ReasonTV folks, sorry for the ambiguous definite article] were for any Tea Parties? There may be some muscle and skeleton somewhere to support the concerns of some that that #OWS is supposed to provide shock troops […]

#OccupyWallNuts Continue Their Epic Struggle Against That One Thing

by Smitty Trifecta is well worth your time. The rotating Kirk/Spock/McCoy chemistry of the three amigos plays well in serving up the abuse for the #OccupyWallNuts. I’m giving Whittle the Kirk role here, cheerfully telling the tools to get out of the toolbox and get a job. Green has the McCoy role, working hard, trying […]

Phrases Without Intellectual Content

by Smitty Williamson at The Corner, emphasis original: Those who talk about the horror of putting profits over people make no sense at all. The phrase is without intellectual content. Perhaps you do not think that Apple, or Goldman Sachs, or a professional sports enterprise, or an internet pornographer actually creates much social value; but […]
