‘We May Be Incompetent, But We Are
All You Have Got’ Is An Increasingly Feckless Argument

by Smitty (h/t Insty) Conglomerate Blog has a doom-tastic post about how New Jersey is being sued by the SEC for creating a situation where bond investors were not provided adequate information to evaluate the state’s ability to fund the pensions or assess their impact on the state’s financial condition. How can this be a […]

Pamela Geller and the Scandalous
Bikini of Right-Wing Extremism

Evidently taking their cue from the Washington Post, now the British Guardian has decided that the most newsworthy thing about conservative blogger Pamela Geller is that she has been seen in public in a swimsuit: Pamela Geller is on a mission to save the free world and she’s doing it, on this occasion, in a […]

Unsure About Barney Frank’s Conversion

by Smitty Conservative Girl puts a religious spin on Frank’s awakening, but let’s not overplay this quotation: “I hope by next year we’ll have abolished Fannie and Freddie,….it was a great mistake to push lower-income people into housing they couldn’t afford and couldn’t really handle once they had it….I had been too sanguine about Fannie […]

That Long Roman Catholic Memory

by Smitty Your attention is drawn to Lisa Graas, over in News Reel Blog, who has a lengthy post concerning Roman Catholic records of that soft, fuzzy, warm Cordoba period in Spanish history currently peddled by GZM proponents: Is the imam telling the truth?

A Disturbance In The Farce

by Smitty How can RSM be*: while having sprung from origins this humble? Discuss. *It must be said that, while I have remorselessly criticized Stacy’s Luddite non-approach to technology adoption, comparing his methodology to cuniform work on a clay tablet with a reed stylus 5,000 years ago (before that new-fangled papyrus came in), while not […]

VIDEO: Democrat Jane Harman Admits, ‘Ahmadinejad Was . . . My Boyfriend!’

Profiting from the sale of dual-use technology to Iran? Rep. Jane Harman (D-Transylvania) might have gotten away with this monstrous scheme, had it not been for Young Mattie Fein: You knew when Ladd Ehlinger Jr. went to Hollywood, he’d produce something brilliant. Here’s the script: FRAU HARMAN: Ahmadinejad! Ahmadinejad! We have done it! I’m going to set […]

‘And the War, Tragically, Continues’

Frank Rich’s latest idiotic idea is that Fox News coverage of the Ground Zero Mosque controversy has thwarted U.S. anti-insurgency efforts in Afghanistan. No, seriously. He actually devoted 1,572 words to making that absurd argument. This inspired Rob Long to script a scenario: I can see it now: the flickering firelight in a dark cave […]

T-Mac On Miller

by Smitty Thad McCotter on Dennis Miller’s radio show. Six minutes on GZM. Thoughtful, dispassionate, sprinkled with good humor. Five minutes on offense against Pelosi & crew, with a swipe against Jimmy Carter. Nothing earth shattering, but I’m a T-Mac fan, so there. They take a question in the end, and McCotter exits by asking […]
