For ‘Debased’ Values Of ‘Self-Respecting’

by Smitty The rampant idiocy on display for even a short clip like this is astounding. “. . .Mitt Romney doesn’t even know if he’d sign a bill promising us equal pay for equal work. . .” Rarely does a bill focus on a single topic. To say you’d sign any bill, unread, is both […]

Eat Cat Too

by Smitty Just in case #OccupyResoluteDesk runs low on on his usual four-footed fare, this blog would like to offer a suggested backup plan, via Angus and the boys: The opening lines: “Dog eat dog / eat cat, too” are great.

Mitch Daniels Reacts To This Morning’s Comb-Over Post

by Smitty Indiana Governor and The Other McCain reader (?) Mitch Daniels used body language to emphasize the proper configuration of the comb-over, whether adorning a conservative or progressive noggin.
