‘. . .He Leaves Very Big Shoes To Fill,’ Kennedy Said

by Smitty So says Joe Kennedy III in a campaign video, opting to run for the seat vacated by the unlamented Barney Frank. It may be that the Kennedy brand has recovered from the passing of Ted.

The Paradox Of Progressive Idiocy, Billy Bragg Edition

by Smitty via @s_dog on Twitter, via Tim Blair: Billy Bragg: “Jingoism is no answer to England’s ebbing power“: Unless and until we throw off our imperial pretensions and begin to relate to our neighbours as equals, joining with them in creating new networks of active devolution and shared sovereignty, we English are in danger […]

Is Dr. Melissa Going Just A Little Easy On The GOP?

by Smitty I submit that Dr. Melissa Clouthier is going a tad too easy on the GOP here: . . .I never see the GOP pondering their really bad choices in politicians that had money but had little charisma, political deftness or policy intelligence.

What the Liberal Media Don’t Want Americans to Know About Contraception

The debate over ObamaCare’s mandated coverage for contraception raged for days before I finally managed to weigh in Wednesday, pointing out the absurd distortions and disinformation being promoted by liberals.

Old, Odd Fuddy-Duddys And Anyone Else Who Digs Liberty: Hie Thee To The East Lawn At High Noon On 24 March

by Smitty Title alludes to Daily Pundit’s alternative suggestion for naming this blog. I like ‘The McCain Mutiny’, but once you’ve been indexed by Google, you don’t want to go making changes. By the same token, once you’ve been annexed by the Progressive Borg, for something like ObamaCare, it gets very hard to undo. Which […]

We Forgive You, Foster Friess

Ali Akbar, Foster Friess and Robert Stacy McCain at CPAC 2012 The joke about aspirin as a contraceptive — just hold it between your knees, ladies — was probably first told by Phyllis Diller on “The Tonight Show” back when Jack Paar was still hosting. Those of us old enough to remember it were surprised […]

Our Tolerant Liberal Overlords (Unexpectedly!) Mock Dancing Lesbian

She insists on being known as “A Conservative Lesbian, Cynthia Yockey,” because that gets her to the top of any alphabetically ordered blogroll, at least until I change the name of this blog to “AAA Homophobic Sexist Patriarchal Theocratic Right-Wing Swine.” But I digress . . . A video of Cynthia dancing to a rap […]
