An Opera Based Upon WikiLeaks?

by Smitty Opera is one of those forms of expression that I do not mind admitting is art, yet avoid to the fullest extent possible. Via Slashdot, one of the biggest cretins of recent vintage will be going to the opera house, emphasis mine: “Betrayal, lust, secrecy, power: there’s no shortage of dramatic intrigue in […]

Moving Closer To Taking The Correct Lesson From Fannie/Freddie?

by Smitty Via Instapundit, we see that Michael Bloomberg has not: “We look forward to the rapid fulfillment of this commitment so that Countrywide can sign another record-breaking agreement with Fannie Mae,” Mozilo finished. Mozilo’s almost 20-year-old quote is relevant again thanks to the uproar New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg caused last week when he […]

On Cue, Some #Occupy People Came By

by Smitty I’ve been in Philadelphia since Wednesday, while Mrs. Other Smitty attends a conference. My main job, other than blogging, has been to watch The World’s Youngest Blogger. We’re across the street from City Hall in Philly: That statue of William Penn atop the building had its peace disturbed this afternoon by what may […]

Palate Cleanser: Nigel Farage Lets Loose The Barrage

by Smitty Nigel Farage is slightly less refined that Daniel Hannan, but that’s no complaint: sometimes you feel like a mallet, sometimes a scalpel. Farage goes all Donald Trump and starts telling the Eurocrats that they should be fired. We have legions of civil servants in need of the same words here. via HillBuzz, who […]

One Can Nearly Admire The Unmitigated Sack On Display

by Smitty #OccupyResoluteDesk: Congress. . .“must not shirk its responsibilities,” according to a White House readout of the conversation. Seriously. If the intent all along was to punish the Administration’s political foes in particular, and America in general, then the Administration’s actions make sense: Play the brinksmanship game in the Spring of 2011, load the […]

Victor D. Hanson Offers Meanness And Mitt

by Smitty VDH is one of the few academics worthy of the respect formerly afforded the ivory tower. His analysis is pure gloomy realpolitik: only Romney has the chops to take on Barack. Where I badly want to disagree with Victor is that he seems not to hold out much hope for the American people. […]
