Scott Ott With A News Shot

by Smitty While it’s still barely Wednesday, here is one of Pennsylvania’s finest sons: Ott is a wonderful Christian fellow with a delightfully dry twist on the humor. He may not beat Jodi Miller over on NewsBusted in a beauty contest, but that’s a state with which I can empathize.

You Can’t Have Your Cow And Milk It, Too

by Smitty (via Protein Wisdom) The bog-like decay of a legal system run amok produces another horrible result in Wisconsin: On September 9, Judge Fiedler issued his decision on the motion, stating that the court’s August 12 denial of plaintiffs’ motion for judgment meant the following: Plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to own […]

Hicks: BHO’s Class Warrior Schtick

by Smitty Hicks offers a crisp summary of the class warfare nonsense spewing from the White House. Share this with the 20% of the population still, somehow, strongly approving of the fellow: Bonus Ray Stevens, via Gerard): A catchy little tune from an American treasure.

Gingrich Uses ‘Accountable’ In The Context Of The Obama Administration

Despite the howling from the commentariat about “opening the floodgates” […]

by Smitty (via SWAC Girl) I’m a fairly huge Bob McDonnell fan, but Deval Patrick affords some amusement: 01:06 Patrick: “Do we want a government that is on the side of helping people help themselves?” 01:18 Patrick: “The American people are going to choose a partnership with leadership, in the form of President Obama, which […]

Not A Failure Of Imagination

by Smitty Pardon my under-whelmed response to Neal Stephenson’s Innovation Starvation. Neal comes near a breakthrough here, emphasis mine: Researchers and engineers have found themselves concentrating on more and more narrowly focused topics as science and technology have become more complex. A large technology company or lab might employ hundreds or thousands of persons, each […]

“He’s Not The King. He’s The President. He’s Elected Just Like The Rest Of Us”

by Smitty Peter Robinson interviews Rep. Paul Ryan in an excellent palate-cleanser. It’s 17 kinds of awesome to be home, with bandwidth, and have a chance to enjoy this. It’s also fantastic that a state which could produce a bloggerwho posts a picture of a ballerina sitting in a tree, wearing galoshes and a stormtrooper […]
