Romney Displaying A Barackian Level Of Contempt For The American People

by Smitty “Pious Baloney”, indeed. Newt speaks truth to wax figure:Really, Mitt: if there’s one thing that the American people appreciate, it is candor. Barack did a fantastic job of feigning it it ’08. The respect for American authenticity allowed John McCain to drop his war record on a bus for a tour of America […]

You Say ‘Ignoring’, I Say ‘Fomenting’

by Smitty This was the reply of the evening: Part of the awakening that must continue in the U.S. is the realization that anti-Christian bigotry is exceeded only by anti-Semitic bigotry (my opinion). You can find a distinction, in that anti-Christian bigotry denigrates a religion, whereas anti-Semitic bigotry is more ethnic in nature. Whatever. My point is […]

Bitter Fruits of a Bitter Seed: Envy, Feminism, Maureen and Meghan

HOLLIS, N.H. Time constraints have improved my ability to ignore Maureen Dowd. Many months now often elapse between my ever bothering to notice anything she’s written. Today, however, Pete Da Tech Guy called my attention to Ms. Dowd’s unseemly assault on Rick Santorum’s family. And then Pete sat down and wrote a rather stunning contrast […]

These Two Scots Are In An Elevator, Trying To See If This One Goes To 11. . .

by Smitty You make the call if the building represents the GOP, and the two Scots symbolize Tea Partiers trying to figure out the lack of motion, for all the talk.

Sunday Morning Coming Down in New Hampshire ‘Meet the Depressed’ Debate

HOLLIS, N.H. After my late night guzzling beer consulting with key sources at the Radisson Hotel bar last night, I slept in this morning at the home of Mike Rogers of Granite Grok, missing the “Meet the Press” debate. Mike’s got it TiVo’d for my later examination, but initial accounts indicate it was far more […]

POST-DEBATE SPIN ROOM

MANCHESTER, N.H. The Triumphant Victory of Rick Santorum™ was not acknowledged here at RINOCon — as I’ve dubbed the National Review Romney GroupHugFest — and that’s OK. We don’t expect these elite snobs to recognize such things. Think about this: Santorum is the hot new “Not Romney” candidate and yet he was not attacked during […]

ABC NEW HAMPSHIRE DEBATE

22:40 EST Perry: if not here, I’d be at a shooting range. Newt, Rick, Mitt: watching football. Paul: I’d put the family to bed and study an economic textbook. Huntsman: talking to my two sons in the Navy. Thus far: The two Texans are not looking strong. Huntsman looks comfortable, but Mitt, Newt, and Santorum […]

Got To Curb This Recognition, Lest One Acquire Delusions Of Social Acceptability

by Smitty Thanks to Zilla, for graciously acknowledging this blog’s efforts at universal conquest. Nevertheless, it’s a big universe, and so we’ve got to work hard to maintain our counter-cultural affectations and keep the focus on the output. Stay righteous, Zilla!
