The Other McCain

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

Beyond Passing Thoughts. . .

by Smitty Virginia Virtucon notes: David Jones of the UK Daily Mail wrote an article that shows how the combination of Mother Nature’s resiliency and BP’s strong clean-up efforts have almost completely mitigated what the White House, the mainstream media, and the environmental lobby would have you believe to be a horrible, generations-lasting disaster of […]

‘It’s a Death Trap, It’s a Suicide Rap, We Gotta Get Out While We’re Young . . .’

Mentoring the next generation of conservative leadership is a serious obligation, and we Jedi masters are thus occasionally called upon to instruct young padwans in the ways of the Force. Readers will recall that I spent Friday afternoon covering the National Conservative Student Conference hosted by the Young America’s Foundation. The conference was followed by a reception and […]

Marriage of Convenience? No, Rosie O’Donnell Had a Marriage of Vengeance

The most absurd episode of Blame Bush Syndrome evah! “George Bush, in the middle of a war, had an all-station news conference to announce how horrible it was for the safety of America that gay people were getting married in San Francisco, which pissed me off enough to get on a plane and go get […]

Da Tech Guy Visits A Mosque

by Smitty Long-time friend of this blog Da Tech Guy was in the neighborhood and discovered what quite a few say about Moslems. Individually, they’re the kind of social conservatives that a goodly chunk of the readers of this blog have no trouble getting along with. For example, at CPAC two years back, I spent […]

Foppish Munch-head’s Jacked-up Ruling: Annoying

by Smitty Sure, I’ve never paid that much attention to the judiciary, figuring that, well, they’re probably more erudite than I. Other than rejecting the DoJ’s motion to dismiss in the VA ObamaCare suit, the headline-making actions of our nation’s judges raise the question of whether a judge can be impeached upon the basis of […]

Some Salve For The Kagan Vote

by Smitty Gary Marx at TNR has a little picker-upper concerning Justice Kagan, the bullet points of which I’ll repeat, but RTWT: This 63–37 vote was a victory for judicial conservatives. The climate regarding judicial nominations has been radically altered. Major interest groups that traditionally have not played a role in Supreme Court battles are […]

Debt Slavery Is THE Issue

by Smitty (via Uncoverage) Uncoverage posts a startling article by ChuckDeVore.com that shows: According to Moody’s, the average state per capita debt of the 28 Obama states is $1,728 while the average debt in the 22 McCain states is less than half, at $749. This information alone says a lot about voters and their attitude […]

It’s Smaller If You Pound The Number Down To £250,000

by Smitty (h/t Drudge) She went to the Villa Padierna Hotel a for a chilla after she read Codevilla. Spare the outrage. Elections have consequences. Pretty much everyone, through omission or commission, supported the 2008 election outcome. So pony up, ye bizatchez, and consider what we’re doing about this in three months and 27 months.
