Games As A Teaching Opportunity

by Smitty (via Paceset999) At the Chicago Toy and Game Fair: This year we picked up the new version of the old classic, Monopoly.  It’s pretty cool how the board is now round, they have replaced all the paper money (remember the pink 500’s?) with credit cards, the properties are (terribly realistically) priced in the […]

Best Wishes To Niall And Ayaan

by Smitty (via Libertarian Republican) Never usually one to do anything without great fanfare, Niall Ferguson, the bombastic television historian, has quietly married Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the former Dutch MP, who lives under a fatwa after writing the screenplay for Submission, a film critical of Islam. What a courageous lady. I read Nomad, which showed […]

I’ll Give You Three Reasons, Ann

by Smitty I’ve never understood why people who don’t trust convictions agonize over the death penalty but blandly accept life imprisonment. The bleeding hearts are compensating for their guilt over supporting the butchery of the unborn by piously bleating against the death penalty. The Iron Law is served by bloated legal bureaucracies surrounding the death […]

Schadenfreude At TNR

by Smitty Galston at TNR delivers an article moping that the Democrats are losing Independents. Granted, ideology isn’t everything. Political scientists have long observed that Americans are more liberal on particulars than they are in general—ideologically conservative but operationally liberal.

Cain Rebuts Freeman’s Raaaaacism

by Smitty (via Lucianne) The New York Daily News has the story: The Republican presidential candidate called the Oscar-winning actor’s eyebrow-raising remarks “short-sighted” on Friday. “Most of the people that are criticizing the Tea Partiers about having a racist element, they have never been to a Tea Party,” Cain told Fox News. Freeman, who endorsed […]

There Exist Things That Make The PuffingtonHost Look Sane

by Smitty Insty is off doing the Founders proud, and he links some ‘Political Eclownomist’ named Raymond Lotta who has apparently smoked a. . .no, too obvious. Under the rubric of dialogue and debate between the “Left” and Right about amending the U.S. constitution, this conference will further legitimate the reactionary Tea Party movement. The […]

Varying Alinsky: Sexualize Everything
UPDATED: Response To Daily Pundit

by Smitty Alinsky decreed: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. This is being carried out against our military. In a rare moment of disagreement, I think Daily Pundit may have become confused: There is no ban on heterosexual sex in the military, and never has been. I just want to kill […]

Can We Get ‘Zo To Do An Interview With Morgan Freeman?

by Smitty It is really, really tiring to hear the likes of Morgan Freeman trot out hackneyed tropes about Tea Parties and raaaaacism. “Their stated policy, publicly stated, is to do whatever it takes to see to it that Obama only serves one term,” the actor said. “What’s, what does that, what underlines that? ‘Screw […]
