Women: Can’t Live With Them, Can’t Live With ‘Em

by Smitty The title is about as negative as I ever get about women while having a conversation. It’s symmetric about the gender line, and I hope the ladies appropriate it as well. It relieves the very real tension about the gender divide in a joking way that doesn’t widen the gap. All that is […]

Rising GOP Rock Star Alert:
Susan Stimpson Brings It

by Smitty Virginia is for lovers. . .of elections. There is a state convention in Richmond in May, to select the GOP slate for this November’s races for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General. The shy, retiring Ken Cuccinelli managed to overcome his introversion and clear the decks for the Gubernatorial race. Attorney General has […]

David Weigel Just Doesn’t Get That There ‘Leadership’ Thingy

At the same time, though, it’s true that the negotiations that led to the sequester would not have been necessary if Republicans had not insisted in the […]

Miserable Joke Of A Senate That Can’t Pass A Budget Can Pass A Tax Increase

by Smitty The U.S. Chamber of Commerce strongly opposes the motion to proceed to S. 388, the “American Family Economic Protection Act.” This legislation would fail to address the federal government’s spending problems and would, instead, replace spending cuts with tax increases. The Chamber has long stated that the sequester is bad public policy and […]

by Smitty What should Republicans be saying, more or less daily? Things like this: During my remarks today I have exhaustively documented the case against the confirmation of Mr. Lew. I have detailed his disastrous budget plans, rebuked by editorial boards across the country and unanimously rejected by Congress. I have discussed his repeated, knowing, […]

Campaigner In Chief Visits Newport News Naval Shipyard

by Smitty One of the big constituencies that has not yet been turned into a Democrat victim constituency is the military. There are a few reasons for this: The military is still sworn to support and defend the that 100+ year old document called ‘The Constitution’, as though the Dead White Dudes somehow knew that […]
