Why Don’t We Just Give In To Low Self-Esteem And Re-Elect Barack?

by Smitty Building on the theme of this Power Line post, let’s just admit that: We can’t have nice things. Our ancestors were bad. Taking our turn at the bottom of the global gutter is the only way we can hope to be shriven of the defects that Barack has identified in our national character. […]

Jeremiah Wright Rates A Second Look In The Light Of D’Souza’s 2016

by Smitty Red State serves the mix: If we’re subscribing to the 2016 thesis that BHO Junior is informed by Senior’s anti-colonial politics, then Jeremiah Wright’s black liberation theology dovetails nicely with the anti-Colonialism to demonize the United States and offer the country up as a target for punishment. That’s a fairly crude and simplistic connection […]

Consider the case of Columbia University journalism student Jade Bonacolta, who decided that a great way to write a story would be to plagiarize a New York Times article published two days earlier. This […]

Mitt Romney Spars With David Gregory On Meet The Press

by Smitty Highly recommended: Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Romney seemed completely controlled, not engaging where and when and to his desired degree on every point. Can anyone think of a time #OccupyResoluteDesk has faced an interview of even half this rigor? Via Althouse, the transcript.

@hicaliber75 — Who Knew Conservative Rap Existed?

by Smitty I really don’t get much out of hip-hop. But even the non-aficionado can appreciate this, and you may know some hipsters who are best reached through material like this: The artist has apparently fallen on harder times than most, via email from Chris Cassone: Hi Caliber (Cal) needs a lift.

A Blog Post That @SoledadOBrien Will Certainly Never Read On-Air at CNN

You recall the Aug. 13 incident in which the CNN anchor was caught reading from the liberal Talking Points Memo — which had been e-mailed to her by persons unknown — in an interview with Romney campaign surrogate Barbara Comstock.
