"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

‘Moral Fascists’?

That phrase is used by Dave Brockington of the liberal blog Lawyers, Guns & Money, to describe people offended by the behavior of Anthony Weiner. Brockington endeavors to dismiss the whole thing: I’m not going to elaborate on the irrelevance of his behavior beyond the effect on his relationship with his wife and family in […]

Minor Disagreement With VodkaPundit

by Smitty In an otherwise agreeable post on the possiblily of Texas Governor Perry running, Iron Liver remarks: . . .good candidates can be dismissed for trivial reasons. Ask Jeb Bush about that some time. Not to say that Jeb is a bad candidate in the slightest, but the anti-dynasty sentiment is non-trivial. As good […]

I Need People To Go Watch
‘The Undefeated’ For Me

by Smitty Based upon Dan Riehl’s review, The Undefeated may be bigger than the fattest documentary maker in Hollywood, which is to say: huge. As a personal favor, if you could all just go pack the theaters, and keep this flick showing until late July, when I get home on R&R, I would appreciate it.

Quantitative Easing Is Not Default!

Yeah, idiot: Tell that to the cops who just interviewed the teenage girl in Delaware! Maybe some of the numbskulls […]

A Special Kind of Stupid: Only ‘Culturally Backward’ People Find Weiner’s Conduct Objectionable, Chris Matthews Says

The Stupidest Man in TV News™ — the Ted Baxter of MSNBC — has perhaps outdone himself with his latest astonishing foray into the frontier of brain-addled commentary: This is, to me, the stakes here. If [Anthony Weiner] stays, [Democrats] never get the leadership back. They never get the Speakership back because the people in the rural […]

Arne Duncan: What?

by Smitty (via BlogProf) The BlogProf has video of the Secretary of Education saying “My Commitment To LGBT Students Is Unequivocal”. Really: Why does you commitment to ANY student, as an educator, require mention? What does sexuality have to do with education? Yet another creepshow aspect of this administration. I shall ensure that my offspring […]
