The Other McCain

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

Charlie Sheen Agrees With Smitty

“I would disband the Fed, like now. Shut that motherf****r down now, and send the I.R.S. to prison.” — Charlie Sheen, in his “Violent Torpedo of Truth” show Tuesday in Washington, D.C. While I’d have a hard time picturing Smitty banging seven-gram rocks of cocaine and cohabiting with two porn “goddesses,” when it comes to […]

Erickson Must Be Relatively Less Cynical Than Me

by Smitty Erick Erickson seems shocked, SHOCKED! that that GOP is ceding the tempo on the debt ceiling: Now the Democrats want to increase the limit on the national credit card instead of paying down the bill. They want a free pass to more spending. Instead, the Republicans should accept the fact that no matter […]

VIDEO CLASSIC: ‘Pure Bias, Which You Demonstrate With Every Breath You Take’

Even while defending our country over in Afghanistan, he still finds time to read my blog and link to me from time […]

But the remarkable fact is that most of the Americans obsessed by the royal wedding (and the […]

Colmes Interviews Breitbart

by Smitty I discovered that Andrew Breitbart is one part Abbie Hoffman, one part performance artist, one part indignant former liberal and, well, see for yourself. The comments are mildly amusing. More Breitbart goodness at American Power.

Biden Commission

by Smitty Really? How will Slow Joe possibly help in any way that Bowles-Simpson did not? The assignment says more about giving the VP some LEGOs to play with than it says about serious analysis of the crisis. In his “excessively partisan” speech last week at George Washington University, Obama announced the creation of a […]
