Steve @Lonegan Coming On Strong In New Jersey Special Senate Election

by Smitty I heard Steve Lonegan on the Mike Church show while I was going to work last week. He was expounding, as one does on Church’s show, on historical matters, pointing out that New Jersey saw more Revolutionary War action than any other state. Perhaps only a mildly interesting factoid, but one that’s crucial […]

Ken Cuccinelli Wins Virginia Debate

Speaking ex-officio in my role as The Decider, I declare Republican Ken Cuccinelli the winner of tonight’s gubernatorial debate in Fairfax. The main reason, of course, is that Cuccinelli is totally awesome, but there’s also the important fact that Terry McAuliffe sucks: McAuliffe has proposed all kinds of new spending, but can’t say how he […]

All ‘Bulls Hit’ VA Democrat Candidate

by Smitty Virginians weren’t supposed to glom onto the fact that Terry McAuliffe is a Tommy Boy candidate, hold the redemptive climax, until after the election: Could it be that Barack Obama has brought an end to the era of the political no-talent rodeo clown? McAuliffe seems to be giving the bulls a workout based […]

Who’s a ‘Bully,’ @GregFlynn? Democrat Operative Targets North Carolina Mom

North Carolina Democrats have apparently adopted the radical motto “By Any Means Necessary” in their war to destroy conservative opposition, as the intimidation tactics employed by Democrat operative Greg Flynn against a citizen-activist make clear: Lady Liberty is a blogger, but she is also a mother worried about her children. Greg Flynn (an editor at […]

Democrat Drano-Snorting Continues

by Smitty Fresh from either his triumphal partnership with–or, if you prefer, basketball-esque dribbling at the hands of–Vladimir Putin on the Syria red line topic, #OccupyResoluteDesk has re-discovered his swagger: I’m happy to have a conversation with him about how we can deal with this so-called sequester, making across-the-board cuts on things that we shouldn’t […]

Anna Shireman-Grabowski: Only Through Suicide Could She Ever Expiate Her Guilt

The very existence of this Middlebury College student is an act of historical oppression, exploitation and genocidal imperialism: My intention was not to cause pain but to visibilize the necessity of honoring all human life and to help a friend heal from the violence of genocide that she carries with her on a daily basis […]

Kentucky Atheist Teacher @ChrisRenfrow Wants to Repeal Statutory Rape Laws?

The statutory age of consent in Kentucky is 16, the same as in Florida, where accused sex offender Kaitlyn Hunt is in jail awaiting trial for her lesbian affair with a 14-year-old girl. The “Free Kate” online crusade that Hunt’s parents started in May argues that Hunt, who was an 18-year-old high school senior at […]

‘Your Behavior Is Deviant,’ Jewish Voter Tells Disgraced Anthony Weiner

The Yiddish phrase a shanda fur die goyim comes to mind in watching this yamulke-wearing Jewish man confront nationally famous pervert Anthony Weiner at a deli in Brooklyn: To disgrace the tribe, to bring shame on Israel, is not acceptable: “You talk to God and work out your problems, but stay out of the public […]
