So, wait: Reproductive rights are solely discussed by guys. Houston and O’Donnell are discussing reproductive […]

Spring Break

Smitty and his family have gone sight-seeing in D.C. I am being kidnapped by my family for an outing to Antietam National Battlefield Park. Rick Santorum is somewhere in Missouri, campaigning for votes in todays’s Republican caucuses, but we must rely on commenters to link the latest news of that and other Important Breaking News […]

Sarah Palin’s Secret Plot To Capture The White House In 2012?

by Smitty One is tempted to wonder if the Left wasn’t more disappointed than the Right by Sarah Palin’s demurring from diving into the nomination meat grinder.

‘Jailbird’ Jim Moran

by Smitty His Paco-ness points to a DC Caller article I hadn’t bothered with due to the presence of Clooney. Now, George Clooney is at least watchable in the “Ocean’s xx” franchise. Off camera, the difference between Clooney and Sean Penn is that Clooney is the crypto-Fascist who was never married to Madonna, as far […]
