Will The Next Smitty Chariot Be A Ford?

by Smitty (h/t Power and Control) Before deploying, I went to CarMax and bid farewell to the ’02 PT Cruiser that, for all the 110K+ good miles, had taken on annoying habits, like snapping a timing belt while on I-64 just east of Lewisburg, WV. Mrs. Other Smitty wants us to get another car. I’m […]

What’s Luck Got To Do With It?

by Smitty Lifehacker has an article referencing a study about luck that raises a hackle. “Good luck,” people say, even Christians, and I wonder why. What is this ‘luck’? If one professes Christianity, and I do, then doesn’t Destiny have a bit more appeal than this ‘luck’ stuff? In other words, in mentioning ‘luck’, are […]

The World’s Youngest Blogger Salutes Silas Paul Lester

by The World’s Youngest Blogger You haven’t exactly posted yet, Silas. So maybe I keep my title. Though my natal adventures may not be toppled by anyone younger soon. There is sort of a lower limit, no? I hope you’re planning on making CPAC12. It promises to be exciting. Lots of women there, whom we […]

Solyndra: Feel The Brutality

Has Walter Russell Mead Figured A Way Around The Iron Law?

by Smitty Maybe he’s explained a way around Pournelle somewhere. I should like to see such an explanation in the context of this: Ultimately we must either ration health care (death panels and all) or restructure it top to bottom so that it is able to deliver the same or, preferably, much higher levels of […]

Ruth Marcus, That Is Some Highly Ignorant Noise You’re Emitting

by Smitty Daily Pundit saw it, and zeroed in on the same section I did, but let me slice it differently, emphasis mine: It is, at bottom, an argument against the 20th century — specifically against the notion that the Constitution envisions and empowers a muscular federal government able to ensure that its citizens have […]

Daniel Hannan, Doors Fan

by Smitty “This is the end,” says Hannan, in the face of a 98% likelihood of Greek default in the bong* markets. That calls for Morrison: And then, Ace thinks that America is going to bail out Europe? That had better occur before the end of this administration, then; the likelihood of an opportunity for […]
