REPUBLICAN PRIMARY RESULTS HQ: Michigan and Arizona Vote Tonight

by Smitty 2251 EST: A Memeorandum scan: HotAir has Allahpundit needing to get him some rest: Romney’s doing so well [in Michigan] tonight, in fact, that he might end up with a bonus talking point tomorrow. In 2008, he won the state with 338,000 votes. Tonight, with a little more than 70 percent reporting, he’s […]

The Chevy Volt Was A Positive Experience That Enhanced My Self-Esteem

by Smitty I, for one, rejoice at the emotional lift derived by our good POTUS thanks to the Chevy Volt. Not everyone can experience the joy of being a corporate executive; fewer still, the historical immortality of being POTUS. Don’t they just go together like peanut butter and chocolate? And now, #OccupyResoluteDesk must get back […]

You Can’t Stand For Much Without Implicitly Rejecting Something

by Smitty Eric S. Raymond faced some well-reasoned blowback for asserting an anti-SOPA/PIPA position from someone saying ESR overplayed his hand: The best any of our public faces can hope for is to represent us to 95% confidence and speak up knowing that some 5% are going to be disgruntled about it. I know that […]

The Ad Is Just Fantastic, That Is Really What I Think. Oh, By The Way:
Which One’s Pink?

by Smitty (via American Power) The non-snobby one with the Santorum sign at the end, of course: Maybe I’m the only one who immediately thought of. . . but Santorum’s ad is dated 18 January, more than a month before Rick pointed out the Orwellian snobbery of #OccupyResoluteDesk saying everyone should go to college. I’ll […]

Is #OccupyResoluteDesk Starting To, You Know, Sweat It?

by Smitty “‘Useless by myself.’” “How about we go the other way with ‘Greater together.’” –Obama slogan brainstorm Kevin Jackson “10 Signs Obama Is Panicking” Obama has feigned shifting right. When a bona fide socialist begins talk of shifting right, you know he’s panicked. Obama no more believes in the private sector solutions to the […]

Celebrating A CoMittMent To Rolling American Exceptionalism

by Smitty In a way, I admire Mitt’s politically incorrect willingness to own cars and homes. It’s not really conspicuous consumption, but it’s far more forthright than, say, a stealth trip to Aspen. On the one hand, I’m not too materialistic, and own a modest sedan. On the other, the notion of private property and […]

Geisterfahrer

by Smitty Literally, ‘ghost driver‘, this is a German word for ‘motorist driving against the traffic on motorways’. Preston at The Tatler makes a crucial point about maturity in our society, and how #OccupyResoluteDesk is not only failing, but actively retarding the overall maturation of society’s members: A president that embraces the tantrums of the […]

Hillary Offers TMI On Internals

by Smitty Paraphrasing, Hillary was on record the other day saying to a Tunisian audience: “Pay the GOP no mind, they’re off their meds.” Today, via The Blaze, she doubled down: “Probably my enthusiasm for the president got a little out of hand,” Clinton said, adding that she only wants what’s best for the country.
