The Other McCain

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

TrogloPundit And His Automotivators

by Smitty A reliable dose of Heh.

Gillespie On Forgiving Student Loan Debt

by Smitty I like all three of Nick’s arguments, but he’s focusing on the Economics: Let me add three more: Student loans are not a federal task, and never were. The federal government should be forcibly precluded from queering the education market any further. If Virginians need student loans, we should be handling that in […]

‘Mitt Romney’ On SNL: Among The Stranger Campaign Ads Of All Time

by Smitty Last night’s SNL campaign ad is pure Mitt. Superficially, the ad is about how stiff and un-funny Mitt is. Jason Sudeikis doesn’t go far enough in capturing the slightly congested, Brokaw-esque diction that helps me understand why some people really don’t care for Sarah Palin’s accent, either (she bothers me not). So, I […]

If Kathleen Parker Was Just A Bit Less Masculine, She Might Be David Brooks

by Smitty Via Hot Air, we have Kathleen Parker going down a list of Paul Begala arguments regurgitated from Newsweek. She very vaguely seems to be trying to dispute Begala’s title “The Stupid Party” as a moniker for the GOP, but comes across more as: “Don’t. Stop. Don’t stop.” Yet another faux-conservative writer whose desire […]

New Metal Is 100 Times Lighter Than Styrofoam, But Still Shiny

by Smitty Mythusmage Opines has the story about “New metal 100 times lighter than Styrofoam” while there was some John Denver show on the telly. This led me to wonder aloud: what maximal mis-interpretation of that title would be most likely to make Stacy’s head ‘splode?

‘Gentleman’ Jim Moran, Civil Servant

by Smitty That is, for ‘Civil’ means ‘Selfish’, along with ‘Overlord’ values of ‘Servant’. Remember when your retirement investments did a face plant during the 2008 election season? Here is a brief tidbit from Throw Them All Out by Peter Schweizer. Chapter 2. Crisis For All, Opportunity For Some (emphasis original) On Tuesday, September 16, 2008, […]

A Quick Search On ‘Waxman’ In
‘Throw Them All Out’ Turned Up Nothing

by Smitty Still in the first chapter of Throw Them All Out on the Kindle. No mention of Waxman for a text search or in the index. Yet this piece in CNSNews makes you wonder if he’s scoring bank or just a kool-aid quaffer: Representative Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), the ranking Democrat on the House Energy […]

Muscular Statesman Harry Reid Drips Testosterone And Leadership Everywhere In Remarks On Stupor Committee

by Smitty Oh, who am I kidding? I’ve seen firmer lumps of bread dough. Like the Nobel Committee, one engages in wishful thinking in the hopes of altering the outcome. Unlike the Nobel Committee, one keeps one’s expectations of the American political class well below zero, for minimal surprise. The Stupor Committee was never anything […]
