The Other McCain

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

Toomey GOP Weekly Address: C+

by Smitty Toomey speaks clearly and plainly. As a relative new guy, he’s beholden to the party line: Democrats are irresponsible. The complaint seems more one of style than substance, however. I can’t foresee any long-term improvement until a more Tea Party attitude of limited, Constitutional, Federalist government takes hold. This Democrat-lite talk is rather […]

Big Furt Hat Boils Keynesian Economics Down To A Graphic

by Smitty Simplicity is a treasure. Sure, you can trundle over to The Classic Liberal for a more full treatment, but BFH deploys Mr. BFD to devastating effect: While we need to have a detailed refutation on hand for serious discussion, the straight-ahead, crayon-level belly laugh is also crucial. Thanks, Big Fur Hat! Update, via […]

Fear and Loathing in Hollywood

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — I’m at a sound stage near Santa Monica Boulevard where Ladd Ehlinger Jr. is directing his latest series of political ads. There is something of an embargo about the exact nature of the production, and I’m on deadline for The American Spectator, so I can’t give you the full story now. However, […]

Piece Of Work In Progress Is On The
Road Again

by Smitty He’s collecting Road to Damascus moments, when people realized that all or, in my case, some, of their political naivete, and move over to pursuing liberty. The reference, of course is to Saul meeting the Christ while en route Damascus to persecute Christians. The sheer number of these Left=>Right conversions might be an […]

Rule 5 Sunday

by Smitty A bumper crop of Rule 5 links, and some time for a pleasant write-up. Enjoy. Dalhalla’s mom as Rule 5 from the Summer of ’65? You be the judge. Serr8d attempts to pose a question, “Marilyn or Gaga?”, answers self in a way you’ll likely support. iOwnTheWorld has some clips featuring hot chick […]

Give Nancy A ‘Palomino’, And For CA-8, John Dennis

by Smitty The Vodkapundit provides your title imagery, as the 111th Congress heads into the slumpstretch, and we get down to the grunt work of electing a Congress that isn’t a pile of road apples. Birch, at Right-O-Sphere, points to a crucial race: John Dennis, going against the woman who, in a sense, represents all […]

Figures: Muslim-ophile Jovially Riles America

by Smitty Rather than fulminate too greatly, though, consider: this is the Age of Alinsky. The choice of irritating the American people over the Ground Zero Mosque probably has as much to do with controlling the topic of conversation as it does sucking up to fellow travellers.

Had A Blast Out Knocking On Doors

by Smitty What a good time. Extroversion really isn’t a preferred mode for someone who’d rather sit around and blog. Nevertheless, supporting Patrick Murray, or whoever the local anti-fascist candidate in your district may be, is crucial. Thus, it’s hard to be happy with the Peter Schiff in the crowd: Connecticut Republican nominee for the […]
