The Other McCain

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

OPRA: Only Problematic in
Republican Administrations

by Smitty We need a good tag for situations like the following, in which we have a DOE flunky getting to look like a organ grinder’s pet in front of a Congressman, confessing that, well, they just couldn’t manage the flood o’ cash adequately: A mere 300-350 investigations. So at least it’s not in the […]

The 1866 Civil Rights Act

by Smitty Thanks to Republicans beginning to appreciate the heritage of our Grand Old Party, it has become better known that Republicans in Congress supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act much more than did the Democrats. Indeed, the legislator most responsible for breaking the Democrat filibuster was a Republican senator, Everett Dirksen. And now, the […]

FaceBook Love: ‘Gentleman’ Jim Moran

by Smitty Moran is a tool, a tool’s tool, and a precision tool for the calibration of other tools. It was fun to see someone else share the love on FaceBook for his crotchetiness:

Don’t worry, Curmudgeon: […]

Head ‘Sploding Idiocy

by Smitty Wait, the oldest, least functional entitlement is now the arbiter for what counts as work? Flog me senseless and call me Jethro, that’s stupid! If Social Security is the measure of ‘work’. . . the Chevy Volt is the measure of vehicles! Wisconsin’s civil servants are the measure of civility and service! French […]

Right On, Michael Zak

by Smitty Zak continues to fight the good fight: Yesterday, I attended a 150th anniversary ceremony in honor of the DC Emancipation Act. The event was held at Abraham Lincoln’s summer cottage. The quartet Just Righteous inspired with A Change Is Gonna Come and other classic songs. Frank Williams discussed President Lincoln’s views on the […]

At Least Daily Pundit Gets It

by Smitty Quick shaves my point on racism a little more finely. I’m OK with that: Nobody actually cares about racism in America. As compared to much of the world, racism simply isn’t a major factor here. Cultural problems based on race and ethnicity do exist, but racism itself is not a real problem in […]
