Allow Valley Of The Shadow To Retort

by Smitty We’ve heard enough Lefty sob stories, with occasional factual basis, to last a lifetime. VotS has a multi-part, personal series. Peering into the future, my guess is that we will discover that socialized medicine is the ecological fallacy writ large. What do I mean? That humans ultimately remain individuals, and the one-size-fits-all approach, […]

Goldberg And Instapundit

by Smitty Two of your favorite heads heading down the byways of favorite topics together. Jonah was most interesting in discussing the reluctance of the establishment, mostly media (but I’ll venture that his point extends to the GOP proper) to get overly attached to the Tea Parties.

Younger brother […]

Second-Best Blog Headline of the Day

SEC Employees Were Masturbating to Kiddie Porn While Your Economy Tanked And the sad thing is, it’s not a joke: Two video files found on [a gay SEC employee’s] computer were referred to the FBI because investigators suspected that the men depicted having sex in them were underage.

Nancy And The Nancy

by Smitty In response to the exit question on Sunday’s post, the wonderful Sheer Politics provides clarification.
