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

From ‘Not Not Running’, To ‘Not Running Traditional Campaign’, To ‘Not Letting Americans Off The Hook’: Go, Palin!

by Smitty WAYTOOHOTABAD, KUWAIT. A few hours sleep, a bit of bandwidth, and a real sense that my R&R leave and meeting the World’s Youngest Blogger may not be the most important things going on, at least outside my immediate family. Via Instapundit, there is the Yahoo article about The Undefeated opening in some red […]

Steyn Sounds Less Than Confident On Debt Talks. Wonder Why.

by Smitty (via the WORM) Mark Steyn really tries to put a positive spin on the debt negotiations, but I think some of his private opinion may be creeping through his journalistic detachment: Nothing good is going to come from these ludicrously protracted negotiations over laughably meaningless accounting sleights-of-hand scheduled to kick in circa 2020. […]

Reference For Obama’s Financial Record

by Smitty Uncoverage posts a Paul Ryan article on the good President’s non-grasp of the totally unimportant topic of finance. Sure is a good thing money doesn’t matter, as the article chronologically notes the milestones and running debt total for the current administration. Fortunately, people remember nothing, and we can rely on an endless stream […]

Religiosity In POTUS Candidates

by Smitty In the midst of the political scrum, one behavior pattern exhibited on the left and the right is the exhuming of religious for use in finger pointing. For example, even the dead Robert Byrd will always be Senator KKK to conservatives. Also famously, Ronald Reagan was a lefty, and FDR admirer, before uncluttering his […]

Begala On CNN Debating Fleischer

by Smitty Apparently, Michelle Bachmann or her husband has deviated from Correct Thought in some way. I think it may have to do with whether it’s OK to put the pee-pee in the poo-poo, but I’m not sure. Begala has characterized the Bachmann’s ideas as a “crackpot, bigoted theory” more times than someone manning an […]

Wrecking-Ball Right Reaches Robert Reich, Frank Schaeffer

by Smitty Who is the audience for some of the vacuous noise one sees on the Puffington Host? Robert Reich whines almost cutely in The Rise of the Wrecking-Ball Right, but his title demands at least a rubber chicken to the head, if not something more violent. Recently I debated a conservative Republican who insisted […]

Chinese Animators Lampoon Debt Crisis

by Smitty (via Legal Insurrection) The absurdity of it all is underscored by a bear with a Mao cap, an elephant standing on a money hose, and a ‘backdoor plan’. The fact that these guys are Taiwanese means that they don’t reveal Jim Morrison when they open the back door, but I think we can […]

Renowned ‘Heh-ologian’ Nancy Pelosi Explains What BHO Means By ‘Job’

by Smitty Thanks to The Blog Prof for the clip tip. The context was the debt limit negotiations. I disagree with Blog Prof’s assessment that “this comparison [of BHO to Job] is nothing short of INSANE”. In fact, this is one of the more accurate statements Princess Pelosi has drooled since she became a load […]
