Celebrating The Crowd At CPAC, i

by Smitty Gustav Le Bon’s 1895 book The Crowd heavily informed Ann Coulter’s book Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America. Thanks to Ann for the hat tip. Rather than take her route of showing the specific evil effects of the Democrat party, and then quoting Le Bon, it seems needful to go back [...]

Quote of the Day

“There are a lot of yellow-stained drawers in Washington Cocktail Party haunts this morning.” – Bill Quick, Daily Pundit The Establishment is nothing if not confident and, although their confidence was surely shaken by Rick Santorum’s Tuesday sweep, Mitt Romney still has an overwhelming advantage in terms of money. The Mitt Machine is probably even [...]

Saint Charles, Martyr of LGF

Because there are so many important things to blog about — hey, CPAC starts Thursday — I seldom take notice of Charles Johnson’s idiocy anymore, but His Weirdness has once again been pursuing his sick obsession with Pamela Geller. And when Donald Douglas of American Power called him out for it, Charles predictably played the [...]

VIDEO: Was Ann Coulter Right?

A year ago, at CPAC 2011, Ann Coulter was asked what she thought about the 2012 Republican presidential field: “Well, I’ll put it in a nutsell: If we don’t run Chris Christie, Romney will be the nominee and will lose.” Although I never shared Chairman Ann’s enthusiasm for Christie as a presidential candidate, the second [...]

Laughing In The Face Of Pessimism

by Smitty The Camp of the Saints sure had a case of the Mondays yesterday: We have, indeed, gone mad [I like to use the term 'A World Turned Upside Down']. What once was considered perverse is now considered normal. Ideas are now accepted as reasonable that, had we expressed them to our ancestors, they [...]

‘It Looks Like I’m in the Process
of Getting Completely Boned’

No, that’s not a quote from the memoirs of JFK’s teenage mistress, who performed oral sex on a Secret Service agent at the president’s request. Instead, it’s Little Miss Attila describing her situation: It looks like I’m in the process of getting completely boned by a well-known right-wing activist organization, which contracted me to work [...]

Zilla On A Stand-Alone Site

by Smitty Out of the Blogger ghetto, and onto the web proper. Go, Zilla!

A Fine Week In Blogs

by Smitty Stephen Green does what he does so well: I hope the overall silliness will hits its crescendo in November, and we can opt for something more rational down the road. Optimistic, I know.

I Present To The Instapundit The Following Dilemma: Zeeba, Or Roseanne?

by Smitty In case you can’t tell them apart, there are no known recordings of Zeeba trashing the National Anthem. But Roseanne Barr is running for POTUS. Three cheers for democracy and hearing protection. More at American Glob.

Little Miss Attila Resurfaced

by Smitty Yay! It sounds like she may not make CPAC, though. Bummer.

Mead’s Rose Colored Glasses: Still Fetching

by Smitty Part two of Mead’s geosynchronous review of the Progressive cratering is up. Read the whole series, if you’ve time: Right now the right has something of a monopoly on this thinking, but when and if the left begins to reconnect with the ideas of emancipation and empowerment that are part of its historical [...]

Florida Conservative to Limbaugh: ‘I Don’t Think That I’ve Ever Been Accused of Being an Establishment Republican!’

As I said this morning, everybody’s gone crazy, and it seems that even Rush Limbaugh drank the kooky Kool-Aid, inspiring a paranoid outburst that Florida state Rep. Scott Plakon felt obliged to correct: As a longtime fan and admirer of Rush Limbaugh, I was disappointed to hear his comments regarding the work of the Congressional [...]
