Don’t Get Too Fixated On The Raaaaace Card, Jonah

by Smitty I tried out Ricochet, which gave a free login to Goldberg at the NRO: Just this week, in an essay for the New York Times, Adolph Reed attacked South Carolina governor Nikki Haley — the first female Indian-American governor in America — for appointing Representative Tim Scott to retiring senator Jim DeMint’s seat.

Leaders Are People With Followers

by Smitty So the House GOP broke on Plan B. This is telling, emphasis mine: Upstairs by the House floor, which was now closed after Boehner’s announcement, a handful of senior members discussed the whip count. They decided to go out for drinks near Union Station, in order to avoid their colleagues who’d be hanging […]

Again, Cassone, On Newtown

by Smitty We need a word for that awkward point, When one enounters art, And says, “Da best in da flippin’ joint! Tell, me: How’d it start?” The artist’s face, it then grows dark, And with a lowered eye, Replies, “Blood down in the park, That deserved not so to die.” Oh that we could […]

Viral Video Idea, Only Minor Damage To Robert Stacy McCain Required

by Smitty Via Slashdot, we have a review of the new Windows: Based upon that review (lengthy, but consistently good throughout), if we set up a camera, gave RSM a writing deadline, and a computer running Windows 8, my gut is that the resulting meltdown would be one for the ages. I guess if they wanted […]

I’d Always Taken ‘Valley of the Shadow’ As A Psalm 23 Reference

by Smitty Joe Fein has an important post up about dealing with existential issues. Go read/comment/link. Americans come in all manner of shades, sizes and ideals. One of the first lessons I learned in NYC was not to stereotype anyone. All I can hope for is that we are treated as individuals, not as a […]

Moe Lane Shocked By Incompetent Budgeting And Lightning Strike, But Mostly Incompetent Budgeting

by Smitty Moe Lane, quoting IBD: In the states with federally run exchanges, HHS will be tasked with hiring the people to run the exchanges, ensuring that insurance plans applying to be on the exchange are compliant with ObamaCare regulations, and setting up and running the websites for the exchanges.
