The Other McCain

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

Rule 5 Sunday

by Smitty Rule 5 Sunday on Easter. The rising mood in the country is overshadowed by the rising of the ultimate truth of human life. So we rejoice in small relfections of loveliness where we see them as a tiny reminder. KURU Lounge announces a bit of Spring fever brought on by Imogen Lloyd Webber. […]

Liberal Fantasies vs. Economic Reality

Since 2008, I have consistently derogated prospects for a quick economic recovery. Americans lost an estimated $7 trillion in asset value in housing bubble collapse — a loss of approximately $54,000 per U.S. home — and whatever it takes to recover from that kind of loss, it certainly won’t be quick. Furthermore, I have consistently said that the […]

One of These Things Is Not Like the Other

Jim Hoft says it’s a “smear” for the New York Times to compare the Tea Party movement to the Weather Underground of the 1960s and ’70s. More to the point, the comparison is stupidly inaccurate. The Weathermen emerged after 1969 from Students for a Democratic Society — an organization, as it name says, composed primarily of college students. SDS […]

Two Portions Of Chicken Embracing Cheesy Pork

by Smitty (via Fausta) UPDATE (RSM): Allahpundit got video of the Double Down in action: We have been unable to confirm rumors that Michael Moore is now camping out in front of a KFC until April 12.

Respectfully Disagreeing With Andrew Breitbart Here

by Smitty In an otherwise splendid post on the Left’s deconstruction plans for our country, I submit that he may need to revisit an assertion: The Democrats need to kill the Tea Party movement. They need to marginalize and demonize those who would stand up to their hardball, toxic and anti-democratic tactics. Their strategy is […]

Few Mega-Joules Readily Arbitraged

by Smitty This week’s FMJRA salutes the Stupakian Bargain of BHO’s drilling policy. The energy output of the hydrocarbons could be measured in MJ, hence the title. POTUS: no one takes you seriously unless you’re seriously taking money. You just keep on pluckin’ that Presidential poultry, and we’ll keep on working to restore the country. […]
