The Other McCain

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

Front Page Flogs The Dead Horse Known As The Buffet Rule

by Smitty Well edited contempt for #OccupyResoluteDesk and his crap-tacular ideas. Was the AMT really intended to go after “certain taxpayers“, or is it intended as a bomb to go off and gradually screw increasing numbers of people as the Federal Reserve inflates more people into the crosshairs?

Scott Ott With The Dry Humor

by Smitty If Ott gets any drier, he’s going to wake up British:

Scott Ott Refuses To Cry Over Spilled Milk

by Smitty Not the powdered milk in the ship, not the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tough man. Bonus PJTV, with Stephen Green bringing Dare of the Hog: Epiphany: Bob Schieffer if Jane Curtin’s fraternal twin.

The Elephant In The Fail Room

by Smitty From Has the conservative elite really failed? Alan Greenspan, a free-market hero, blundered horribly in failing to regulate shadow banking, followed by another Republican appointee, Ben Bernanke. They forgot the old adage that the job of a central banker is to take away the punch-bowl just as the party is getting good. If [...]

Shorter Victor Davis Hanson: Postmodernism Sucks

by Smitty Read all of VDH’s America’s Two-Front War What we have, then, is a war on two ends: the better off are hesitant to work more, given their fears that additional profits will either be more difficult to come by or not remain their own; the poor are hesitant to work more, given their [...]

Whittle Speaks As The GOP Would, Had It Hair #1 Where Necessary

by Smitty Should we just draft Bill Whittle for POTUS? Update: Whittle/Gillespie 2012? I saw that NG clip while going back to YouTube to help float the question of whether the GOP is relatively more feckless than the Australian Greens: Update II: During his news conference, when asked if House Republicans “caved”, Boehner said, “Sometimes [...]

Why Can’t Obama?

by Smitty This. Must. Be. The. Question: Click the image to watch: If The Tea Party Can Balance Budget In Four Years, Why Can’t Obama? There are a couple of issues of equal weight today, and maybe the boom gets lowered after the GOP primaries, but, to paraphrase Da Tech Guy, every day the failure [...]

Scott Ott With The News

by Smitty I’m totally a fan of this mildly dry wit. The Aqua Buddha joke works the best on this clip:

Progressivism At Work: Put States In A Bad Way, Blame States For Being There

by Smitty Come on, Gandleman: I need to preface this post by saying that I am a HUGE fan of Texas. I love visiting Texas. I love Texans. And I think too many Texans have been burned by the false stereotype of the exaggerating, bloviating Texas politician in a state that has many fine elected [...]

Steven Crowder’s Latest, Plus The #Occupy Anthem: Anarchy Burger!

by Smitty Steven Crowder has what he thinks is the final #Occupy video: That’s un-possible. The final one will be the shot in 2013 when #OccupyResoluteDesk is relieved by ________. The other glitch with Steven’s video is the lack of a soundtrack. This old chestnut from a while back came to mind during the #OccupyBandNames [...]

Victor D. Hanson Offers Meanness And Mitt

by Smitty VDH is one of the few academics worthy of the respect formerly afforded the ivory tower. His analysis is pure gloomy realpolitik: only Romney has the chops to take on Barack. Where I badly want to disagree with Victor is that he seems not to hold out much hope for the American people. [...]

Victor Davis Hanson Thinks Than Romney Is The Only GOP Candidate Who Can Win

by Smitty Roger Simon of PJTV interviews the mighty Victor Davis Hanson. The post was linked by somebody, then dropped. Probably a simple rescheduling, though, I’ll not cite the blogger, on the off chance that the retraction has some other meaning. If you blog enough, these odd corner cases of etiquette will pop up, I [...]
