Mead’s Rose Colored Glasses: Still Fetching

by Smitty Part two of Mead’s geosynchronous review of the Progressive cratering is up. Read the whole series, if you’ve time: Right now the right has something of a monopoly on this thinking, but when and if the left begins to reconnect with the ideas of emancipation and empowerment that are part of its historical […]

Quin Hillyer Denounces Jeffrey Lord as a ‘Purveyor of Smear Jobs … Despicable’

The escalating craziness among Republicans — which I have already mentioned twice today — has now spilled over into a feud between two esteemed contributors to The American Spectator, and now the hot-blooded Southerner Quin Hillyer has called out his antagonist: Jeffrey Lord, who has intellectual integrity about equivalent to Bill Clinton’s, has become a […]

Florida Conservative to Limbaugh: ‘I Don’t Think That I’ve Ever Been Accused of Being an Establishment Republican!’

As I said this morning, everybody’s gone crazy, and it seems that even Rush Limbaugh drank the kooky Kool-Aid, inspiring a paranoid outburst that Florida state Rep. Scott Plakon felt obliged to correct: As a longtime fan and admirer of Rush Limbaugh, I was disappointed to hear his comments regarding the work of the Congressional […]

Troglopundit Is Not Only an Acromegalic Sideshow Freak, But Is Also Wrong

My friend Lance Burri was once famous as the second ugliest conservative blogger in Wisconsin. That was before Sean Hackbarth and his ludicrous hipster soul-patch moved to Washington, D.C., however, and the Towering Man-Mountain of Cheeseland has since ascended to the pinnacle. But I digress . . . Troglopundit has wasted several thousand pixels in defending the […]

Woo Hoo! The CPAC 2012 Schedule!

by Smitty I hope to see vast amounts of our readership there. The schedule is up, so we can start planning how to be in seven places simultaneously.

Will Donald Trump’s Hair Style Challenge That Of Willard Mitt?

by Smitty Oh, bring it, Donald; I, for one, contend there is insufficient buffoonery in American politics today. If any can mitigate the excess of ‘sobriety’, it’s you: I will be making a major announcement tomorrow (Thursday, February 2) at 12:30 pm at Trump International Hotel & Tower, Las Vegas, Nevada Actually, given that I’m […]

I’m 9.5 On Julie Borowski’s 10 Reasons To End The Fed

by Smitty I don’t fully agree with #8, “The Federal Reserve is Unconstitutional”. The Federal Reserve Act followed the usual course of legislation, and was signed into law by Woodrow “Effing” Wilson. In my opinion, the Federal Reserve urinates all over the spirit of the Constitution, for reasons Julie well and truly elaborates. However, just […]

While I Was on My Way Home, Apparently, Everybody Went Crazy

Wednesday was one of those Hell Days that remind me why people told me I was crazy for even trying to cover the presidential campaign in such an improvisational low-budget manner. The cheapest modes of transportation are seldom the most convenient. But I’ll spare you the nerve-wracking details of why I was in transit (and […]
