Santorum: The Fight and the Fighter

TROY, Michigan Last night, when I neared the Colonial Valley Suites in Davison, I immediately realized a huge crowd had turned out for Rick Santorum’s event at the Crystal Hall. Cars were parked alongside the road. Pulling over to park the rented Toyota by the roadside, I had to walk a few hundred yards to […]

Celebrating A CoMittMent To Rolling American Exceptionalism

by Smitty In a way, I admire Mitt’s politically incorrect willingness to own cars and homes. It’s not really conspicuous consumption, but it’s far more forthright than, say, a stealth trip to Aspen. On the one hand, I’m not too materialistic, and own a modest sedan. On the other, the notion of private property and […]

Geisterfahrer

by Smitty Literally, ‘ghost driver‘, this is a German word for ‘motorist driving against the traffic on motorways’.

Rick Santorum On Meet The Press

by Smitty Rick Santorum does a fine job standing up to the job the American media won’t do with respect to any public figures on the Left: Santorum is using more ‘Teatard’ phrasings like ‘equality of opportunity’. Will the hefty Catholic presence in Michigan make the difference for Santorum on Tuesday? I rather hope so. […]

Trifecta Trounces Turbo Tax Timmy’s Tomfoolery & Turpitude

by Smitty Whittle’s head is on the verge of ‘sploding here as he tries to get his mind around the blend of idiocy and the diabolical presented to the Congress in the form of this year’s White House budget input. The question of why we are incapable of coaxing someone like Paul Ryan to run […]
