The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Neologism: Glenren

by Smitty I’d like to propose ‘glenren’, a contraction of ‘Glenn Reynolds’, as a special term for the blend of faux naïveté, weapons-grade sarcasm, and systematic understatement so brutally employed by The Blogfather: You know, I’m beginning to wonder if they tried to fake the numbers upward for the election or something. Usage: “That there […]

When Compromise Means ‘Damn Your Eyes’

by Smitty When compromise Means ‘Damn your eyes’, And honor is passé, And the ship’s port list, Has the crewmen pissed, For capsizing’s no’ so gay, Since Reason and Math, Have succumbed to the wrath, Of the hormone of the day: A rational one asks, While the media basks, In a General’s tawdry straying, Did […]

Twitter Tribute To Lennon

by Smitty .@kurtschlichter “Imagine there’s no Lennon. Simple historical fact. No more Utopian twaddle. From that sad commie hack.” @benshapiro — Preservative (@smitty_one_each) November 29, 2012

An Hour With Sandra Fluke

by Smitty Had I an hour with Sandra Fluke, I’d read to her from the Gospel of Luke, To watch the jeering Jezebel puke, And take some bets on the time it took, Though such mark me a Christian crook. These days we all need a little book, As the economy has us down on […]

Bush’s secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, an immensely […]

U.S. Senator Erick Erickson?

by Smitty I do like the cut of his jib. Seriously, patriots: if you thought unwinding a century of Progressive drift was going to be easy, re-calibrate. We’ve barely gotten into the Sinai, and the deadweight wants to get back to the government handouts in exchange for pyramid work. Stand by for two generations to […]

Not Sure About @rsmccain Whereabouts

by Smitty I had a good day at work, nerding about on this and that. The last week has been all about a fiction project of mine, as I’ve been re-writing a 30k word draft. 1/3 through my draft chapters, I’m up to 22k words, and liking my characters/plot even more. So there’s that. Meanwhile, […]

I Want To Agree With James Joyner, But I Fear He Shot Us Both Down

by Smitty Emphasis mine on James Joyner in The Atlantic: The Republican Party needs a new message on foreign policy that is true to the conservative principles of the base and yet has a broad appeal to the American public. It so happens that one already exists, has a proven track record of electoral success, […]
