Reason TV At #OccupyWallStreet
by Smitty One is stunned, and left to wonder where these people [Update: yes, the #OWS weenies, not the ReasonTV folks, sorry for the ambiguous definite article] were for any Tea Parties? There may be some muscle and skeleton somewhere to support the concerns of some that that #OWS is supposed to provide shock troops […]
What Cynthia Said
by Smitty OK, I don’t necessarily agree with the presumption that BHO attains re-election: With regard to Gov. Palin, I do hope she sets her sights on running for president in 2016 to succeed Obama. When Gov. Palin spoke on Sept. 3 to a Tea Party audience in Indianola, Iowa, she laid out the most […]
Pat Condell Offering Simple, Sad Truth
by Smitty A pitch-perfect delivery, via Da Tech Guy. UPDATE (RSM): The strongest sentence is when Condell says of the Palestinian leaders, “They don’t want peace, they want victory, and the won’t be happy until Israel is wiped from the map.” Palestinian nationalism is a toxic legacy of an era young people don’t remember and […]
CPAC12: We’re So There
by Smitty For bloggers like us, CPAC is the thing that even CINCHOUSE knows we cannot miss. (Sorry about the Herman Cain event tomorrow in Arlington, VA, Stacy). This event could also be called #OccupyMarriottWardmanPark, except that, to paraphrase Ann Coulter, conservatives tend to have jobs, showers, and a point. This trailer makes CPAC look […]
#OccupyWallNuts Continue Their Epic Struggle Against That One Thing
by Smitty Trifecta is well worth your time. The rotating Kirk/Spock/McCoy chemistry of the three amigos plays well in serving up the abuse for the #OccupyWallNuts. I’m giving Whittle the Kirk role here, cheerfully telling the tools to get out of the toolbox and get a job. Green has the McCoy role, working hard, trying […]
Long Before The Infamous Speedo, There Was The Mullet
by Smitty It’s Stacy McCain’s birthday today. How about we break out some cheer. Consider: a snapshot from the early days of color photography, Stacy’s youth:Now, Stacy has not formally denied that this is him, clutching his Cuddlewhumpus County, Alabama Annual Noodling Contest and Catfish Fry, Third Place, Youth Division trophy, but that’s what I […]
Some Better Ideas For Primaries
by Smitty Noting the latest in the primary brinksmanship, maybe the parties could consider: All 50 states at once. No one gets a jump. Not a lot of news and vetting, but at least no one is pre-eminent. A purely random distribution. Have a meeting a year before commencement of hostilities, and treat it like […]
Phrases Without Intellectual Content
by Smitty Williamson at The Corner, emphasis original: Those who talk about the horror of putting profits over people make no sense at all. The phrase is without intellectual content. Perhaps you do not think that Apple, or Goldman Sachs, or a professional sports enterprise, or an internet pornographer actually creates much social value; but […]
