The Other McCain

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

Scott Ott And The #40Dollars

by Smitty Ott serves up the news on the #40Dollars hash tag, and Iowa, where he has a dry, dry, dry jape about idolatry. Also a great Perry riff. Nicely played. Look at this pathetic noise. The entire dextrosphere should post on what an outburst of non-thinking this is:

E-Mail From Debbie Wasserman-Schultz

Years ago, I clicked a box on some Democrat web site and they’re still sending me e-mails like this one: Friend: If you follow political news like I do, you may remember this year for its GOP horse race: who was up, who was down, who had an “oops” moment. But that’s not how I’ll […]

The Deadly Menace of Fake Boobs

Some critics have dismissed my oft-stated preference for natural breasts as mere ignorant bigotry against artficial enhancement, but now at last I’ve been vindicated by science: Thousands of women ‘should’ have breast implants removed Around 45,000 British women are known to have had Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) implants, which have since been found to have […]

The Weird Turn Pro

Alternatively, somebody with both high moral and conservative track records, e.g. Perry, Santorum or Bachmann, could be […]

Games People Play: You Take It Or You Leave It

by Smitty Via Proof Positive, we have the Alyssa Rosenberg at Squaking Points Memo giving a belly laugh over the new Rainbow Six game which apparently has the player ventilating #OccupyWallStreet protesters. I would love to see the mic check that goes into getting consensus for this kind of nonsense. But as much as I’d […]

#OccupyDC Nativity Scene

by Smitty I found the cluttered thinking of the woman who stated she’s Jewish to be most interesting. The notion that if you’re going to represent one religion, you should represent all religions is fantastically silly. If a religion is a spiritual course to steer, then you should drive all directions at once? That’s a […]

Britannia, Rule the Waves!

And damn the Argies! A South American trading bloc has agreed to close its ports to ships flying the Falkland Islands flag. Mercosur, which includes Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, came to the decision at a summit in the Uruguayan capital, Montevideo. But Uruguayan President Jose Mujica said British-flagged civilian ships that may supply the […]
