Restoring Honor: Thank You, Warriors
by Smitty REFLECTING POOL, WASHINGTON, DC–It’s an hour into the Restoring Honor event. What a great undertaking. This is a great exercise in American Exceptionalism. Beck’s religiosity is right out front, but mostly ecumenical. While no mention is made of anyone in office, one wonders if the monitors carry the word ‘Faith’ to nearby residences, […]
Great Moments In Navigation: ‘Restoring Honor’ Edition
Smitty: Are you sure this is where the Restoring Honor event was supposed to be? Skippy: Well, it’s what I read in a comment on a post somewhere on the DailyKos. . . Guess it’s time to get moving if we’re to make the Mall.
Fantastic: Murkowski Judas-ery Roils Alaska
by Smitty This week’s FMJRA is in awe of Lisa Murkowsk’s commitment to career over service. FMJRA has obtained a slightly technical document from WikiIncontinence describing what looks to be her overall plan for victory in the primary and Alaska Senate race: Murkowski’s Inequality.

And at least one top national LP official isn’t afraid to […]
Grinder Reminder
by Smitty Via IsraellyCool, we have this gem: While most people know about the ‘farmer tan’ on the arm, many don’t know that the parade field at a Navy boot camp is called a ‘grinder’. You get shaved bald, and walk around in the sun a few hours, and the result, for those of European […]
Advice For The Rational Man
by Smitty How do I know that the World’s Only Rational Man is my junior? Look at him applying a logical methodology to a matter of political history. Of course FDR didn’t mean anything like the scientific method when he set about tinkering with the US Constitution and economy. Any superficial appearance of such was […]
EXCLUSIVE: Murkowski’s Libertarian Effort Is Led by Longtime Palin Enemy
Early Wednesday morning, Alaska Libertarian Party chairman Scott Kohlhaas got a call from ex-Republican Andrew Halcro, asking if Kohlhaas would be open to having Sen. Lisa Murkowski replace Dave Haase as the LP’s Senate candidate. Such a switch would be the only option for Murkowksi to be on the Nov. 2 ballot, should she and the National […]
