Dan Riehl Has His Own ‘Ilk’?

According to Stephen Bainbridge: By letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, Riehl and his ilk are ensuring themselves of a pure minority. The rest of us in the blogosphere are now jealous of Dan. What do we have to do to get our own ilks? Is supporting Christine O’Donnell sufficient to qualify […]

Baldilocks Misunderstands The Narrative

by Smitty Here she is again, arguing in favor of some historically accurate view of the scourge of the slave trade. Historical ignorance is a key tool of the Raaaaacism Industrial Complex. A handy airbrushing of the facts supports important Guilt Distribution Policies that are used to control vast swaths of people and influence events, […]

Flying Miles Journeyed Render Awesomeness

by Smitty Nothing like the joy of answering the critics in a positive way, like Stacy scoring an exclusive with Todd Palin during the recent Alaska trip. Tip jar hitters are welcome to bask in the glow. If this blog’s tip jar excites you not, *sniff*, then do consider this week’s Ten Buck Fridays winner, […]

Never Question The Magnitude Of The Patriotism Of Howard Dean

by Smitty (h/t The Lonely Conservative) This is nine months old, but the most important thing to do is savor the matchless patriotism on display: International greetings : Greetings from Howard Dean from PES_Party of European Socialists on Vimeo.

At The Patrick Murray Campaign Office Opener Part 3

by Smitty The previous Patrick Murray speech I had the privilege of enjoying was a solid outing, and this effort is better still. It takes significant courage to run against “Gentleman” Jim Moran in the first place, and I’m happy to report that Patrick Murray is packing the gear. One looks forward to attending a […]

Barny Frank And The Right Wing Effort

by Smitty (h/t Gateway Pundit) So what we have is this right wing effort to remove any constructive role for the public sector. If there is anyone who should be granted a doctorate in the PIT, the Progressive Inversion Tongue, it should be Barny Frank, and this phrase alone is an example of why. Let’s […]

How to Write an Anti-Palin Hit Piece

WASILLA, Alaska — I’m about to make the mad dash back to Anchorage, then will be making my way homeward for a couple days of rest before trying to explain to Mrs. Other McCain why I need to go to Delaware. But I thought I might share another point about those “impotent, limp and gutless” reporters: It’s […]
