Tactically Bad vs. Strategically Bad

by Smitty Instapundit points to the Las Vegas Sun with an article about the Tea Party movement going full-on third party. Insty: I think it’s smarter for Tea Party activists to target primary races, rather than starting their own party as seems to be happening in Nevada. Two words: “Ross Perot.” Two more: “Ralph Nader.” […]

The Protocols of the Elders of CTHULHU I. Might Makes Right

by Smitty (INTRODUCTION) A set of steps were the only available means to cover the last quarter mile of the climb to Schloss Braunschlag from Davos. The androgynous speaker began in sinuous tones. I’ll call him ‘he’ for convenience, though the small frame in the plain kimono, so light for a room this cold, lacked […]

SFW Video: Hookers In The Graveyard

by Smitty (h/t Digg) The video will not entomb in our page, but you can see it here. As technology improves, I foresee more of this sort of thing.

Troglopundit noted her 6th place finish back on 07Feb, staking his claim and claiming his steak. (Mistake?) Point of a Gun […]

‘Almost Never’ Is Once Too Often

“Certainly, there are lots of socialists on college faculties across the land. Happily, they almost never engage in killing sprees.” — James Joyner, Outside the Beltway UPDATE: The plot thickens: The professor who is accused of killing three colleagues at the University of Alabama on Friday was a suspect in the attempted mail bombing of […]

‘Trust Us, We’re Experts!’

Another triumph of expertise: The academic at the centre of the ‘Climategate’ affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble ‘keeping track’ of the information. Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually […]

Attention, Ugly Women: You Do Not
Have the Right to a Job as a Stripper

You might not need to be told this. Obviously, being a stripper is one of those jobs — like NASCAR driver — where good looks are very important. Most ugly women understand this concept, and therefore seek careers as tenured university professors, a field where looks are inconsequential. However, vocational guidance counselors forgot to explain […]
