Parenthood Is Noble

by Smitty (via Insty) Of all the lies of the modern Progressive movement, an overarching falsehood is that fatherhood and motherhood are not good. This is implicit in things like the Overpopulation Myth and the Gender/Sexuality Are Socially Constructed Myths. It’s been explicit in the feminist assault on motherhood. The result? Virginia Postrel can meaningfully […]

‘My Little Realm …’

New York Times editor Bill Keller damns his own soul to hell with a column attempting his own justification: Back in 2004, Daniel Okrent, the first ombudsman at The Times, wrote a column under the headline, “Is The New York Times a Liberal Newspaper?” The sly first sentence of his essay was: “Of course it […]

Props to NewsBusters for staring into that abdominal wound Maher calls a show: MAHER: Their confidence is off the chart. If I had […]

Congrats To Another Black Conservative

by Smitty ABC is celebrating his sweet tooth anniversary. I note with some shame that we’ve not been among his top referrers. We need to be linking the chap more.

Nina Totenberg, You Ignorant [SNL Reference]

by Smitty If you need any reminder of the contempt with which our Ruling Class elites hold the average American, check this Totenberg/Krauthammer transcript over at NewsBusters. What really frosts my cake is that I really don’t think these people who are so quick to tell me how much smarter they are actually possess significantly […]

Weiner Schnitzeled?

by Smitty Trying to go for a slightly less gruesome title than The Lonely Conservative. I can’t think of too many people I’d rather see squeezed out of Congress due to gerrymandering. If they screwed up and left me in charge, I should like to see an open source map algorithm, as well as completely […]
