The Other McCain

Freeberg Nears A Breakthrough

by Smitty M. K. Freeberg is one of the deeper thinkers in the blogosphere. Here he is dealing with some organizational behavior issues. RTWT, but let me focus early on. Yesterday was the first 20% of a work week. I clocked out on time, and returned home in the daylight to attend to the personal […]

Cut, Cap, And Balance

by Smitty My own thoughts on fixing the fiscal mess are probably too radical for reality. The Cut, Cap, and Balance pledge looks like a place to begin. Also important: trust building activities. Given that the government, as a whole, has completely expended all confidence in its veracity, the idea of a “Balanced Budget Amendment” […]

If We Outlaw Martian Voting, Then The 2012 Election Will Be Swarmed By Disenfrachised Martian ‘Voters’

by Smitty Does anybody understand the meaning of this buffoonery from E.J. Dionne, Junior? Emphasis mine throughout the post. Rigging the 2012 Election WASHINGTON — An attack on the right to vote is under way across the country through laws designed to make it more difficult to cast a ballot. If this were happening in […]

On The CC Line

by Smitty Check out the new collaboration of two of my favorite bloggers, Little Miss Attila and POWIP. They call it Conservative Commune. I admit the second word has more appeal as an imperative verb than as a noun, but I admire the two so much as writers that I’ll just blogroll them and subscribe […]

Gateway Pundit Calls It Like He Sees It About The Media Vs. Michele Bachmann

by Smitty Thanks, Jim Hoft: The media has yet to uncover Barack Obama’s college transcripts, but they are already questioning Michele Bachmann’s record as a foster parent. It’s all about speaking truth to power, where ‘truth’ is drivel and ‘power’ means whoever the owner of the media dogs has directed these rabid bitches to attack, […]

The Boundless Jealousies Of Deployment

by Smitty Not only can I not attend Right Online, I can’t even upload the picture of BlogProf looking like he’s about to pick up Stacy McCain and shotput him across a hotel lobby. Not that he would actually do that, mind you: I was merely engaging in a bit of hyperbole to tease you […]

Legal Insurrection Is So Good, One Is Nearly Tempted To Attend Law School

by Smitty The title of this post is absolutely not snark. If there is one unintended consequence of the blogosphere, it is to point out that there are a few lawyers: Professors Althouse, Volokh, Reynolds, and of course Jacobson at Legal Insurrection, who are worth their salt. The other 98%, perhaps not so much. Check […]

Walter Russel Mead On Hypothetically
Un-jumping A Shark

by Smitty From “Can This Presidency Be Saved?”, emphasis mine: President Obama still has a shot at convincing voters that the GOP would make things worse, but his administration has not just lost control over the direction of the economy. It has lost control of the discussion about the economy. With a maximally bloody-minded view, […]
