Yid With Lid Reminisces About #BlogCon11

by Smitty I wish that I could have gone, rather than spending time in Philly, but such is life. The Lid (with some minor punctuation input from me): Over and over during the course of the weekend the Occupiers were like Charlie Brown and the BlogCon bloggers were like Lucy fooling him again by pulling […]

Why The Whining About Debates?

by Smitty Ann Althouse has a post that triggers the thought: Why are we whining about debates? There is substantial butt-hurt in the blogs about how how candidates X, Y, and Z are getting short shrift (is there any other kind?) in the debates. If we are capitalists, and presidential debates are a marketplace of […]

Unexpectedly, Puffington Host Editors Face Uncertainty About The Founders

by Smitty The Puffington Host editors offer this collection of GOP Congressmen using the word ‘uncertainty’. Props to Todd Young, USNA ’95, appearing at 0:55: The Puffington Host, normally such a bastion of wisdom and erudition, is unexpectedly daft here: With the economy in a slump for nearly four years, corporate executives and conservative politicians […]

An Aside On Safe Passage For Messengers

Well, allow me to retort. In the former case, I am to view Politico as some wholly innocent […]

Spartanburg Remainders: CBS Debate Inspires Media Fear and Loathing

SPARTANBURG, S.C. We had to leave Wofford College about an hour after last night’s Republican debate ended, because the Herman Cain campaign was having a private post-debate event at the Marriott Hotel. So I didn’t have time to upload many of my photos and video of the “spin room” activity, nor to register much of […]

Perry Aides Dissing Gingrich Campaign?

Interesting news: A new book claims Newt Gingrich spent $1 million on jewelry to “buy off” his reluctant wife and stop her objecting to his running for president. “Election 2012: The Battle Begins,” by reporters Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon, follows up on previous reports about Gingrich’s unpaid $500,000 charge account at Tiffany’s and his […]

An Opera Based Upon WikiLeaks?

by Smitty Opera is one of those forms of expression that I do not mind admitting is art, yet avoid to the fullest extent possible. Via Slashdot, one of the biggest cretins of recent vintage will be going to the opera house, emphasis mine: “Betrayal, lust, secrecy, power: there’s no shortage of dramatic intrigue in […]
