Friday Fiction: 100 Word Challenge

by Smitty The three oppressors stood between her and Union Station. Apart from being her older “sisters”, there was no Cinderella resemblance. “Where do you think you’re going?” snarled Nancy, the oldest, as they closed. She strode. “Well?” echoed Barbara, as they closed. Her fists clenched. “Answer us!” screamed Dianne. And she did, with roundhouse […]

Language Alert: “Conservative Opposition To #Obamacare Repeal”

by Smitty Emphasis mine: Privately, senior Republican lawmakers and staff are more blunt. They say they have no problem steamrolling conservatives by daring them to vote against an Obamacare repeal that their constituents have demanded for years. Sen. Rand Paul walks to a room on Capitol Hill in Washington on March 2, where he charges […]

Pelosi Explained

by Smitty I think it's pretty clear: pic.twitter.com/P5eecUB6yV — IGotOverMachoGrande (@smitty_one_each) March 1, 2017 So, Trump’s speech was a blast. But has anybody figured out how we pay for being all things to all people?

And utter an un-Earthly shrIek (whIch observers InItIally thought mIght be Cthulhu hImself, but our sanIty was spared), 9. After whIch the TrIbble laId waste […]

@DavidBenkof: Disagreement != *Phobia

by Smitty I’m so tired of pieces like “Attacks On Milo Yiannopoulos Are About Homophobia, Not Pedophilia that I’m almost too bored to respond: I’m not enamored of Milo Yiannopoulos – and not only because “gay Jewish conservative opinion writer” was supposed to be MY thing. He often seems more interested in promoting himself than […]

@DavidAFrench: Up Your Game

by Smitty French has a fair cop over at NRO, (emphasis mine): And just like that, in lockstep, the tough-guy Right pivots. The herd moos aggressively and goes to war. It’s just as big a joke as a Democratic party that once pitched its own fits about hackers and leakers and now casts leaking in […]
