The World’s Youngest Blogger Nearly Makes ‘Day By Day’

by Smitty Got an email from Muir the other day. Having supported Day By Day, it was time to suggest a strip theme involving Skye. So I suggested that Chris do something with this photo, and it provides the background for the first panel, where Kiko breaks a plate. Click the image to view the […]

Annapolis Immortality

by Smitty If you can’t be the first American Nobel laureate, then putting a lip lock on Katy Perry is another way to do it: I myself was almost nearly kind of a little bit famous for making the upper three-quarters of my class at Sing Sing on the Severn possible. via Breitbart

People Wonder Why I Call Obama ‘#OccupyResoluteDesk’

by Smitty Via the Tatler, we have the head #Occupier in Rolling Stone: OBAMA: You know, I think that Occupy Wall Street was just one vivid expression of a broader anxiety that has been around in the United States for at least a decade or more. People have a sense the game is rigged, so […]

Late Night Talk Show Clown Not Too Funny, Despite Help From Fallon

by Smitty This is truly terrible. The Office of the President should not be cheapened (a) by the appearance on such shows, and (b) by the shameless pandering for votes. One could appreciate the egalitarian approach of the President having town hall meetings with actual (not selected, or paying) citizens. As if that would happen […]
