The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

I Would Just Like To Point Out. . .

by Smitty . . .that anybody who is surprised that a mortal man cannot magically fix the economy ought to have their head examined. Yeah, he was supposed to be all that and scoop of ice cream, the most over-sold thin since XML. Sure, it’s a bad thing that his ideas aren’t proving much. But […]

‘Awfully Nice For The Professors Who Don’t Have To Grade’

by Smitty Althouse points to Western Governor’s University, where there is a notion of hiring adjuncts to do the grading. Should we feel for the adjuncts who have a job consisting of the part of the job that the regular professors are freed from? The photo at the link depicts “Emily Child, an evaluator at […]

God Grant Joe Nocera A Moment Of Lucidity

by Smitty Via Memeorandum, this column in the Gray, Room-Temperature Lady is just a thing of beauty, if you find beauty staring down a port-a-john. Crescendo reached here: Then came the financial crisis. I like to joke that there’s nothing like a good financial crisis to turn you into a liberal. But it’s not really […]

As The Details Worsen, ‘Fast and Furious’ Becomes Dem. Party’s Trip To Jonestown

by Smitty Doug Ross offers an excellent summary of the whole fandango. I still maintain that, as this scandal is rolled out, either it or the threat of it running its course will be the real reason for Obama to resign. The Dems, especially Invertebrate Harry in the Senate, have got to see BHO as […]

And, if not for ObamaCare, and Government Motors, and offshore drilling, and the failed stimulus, I’d be tempted to […]

Your Motto Is ‘Forward’, Knucklehead

by Smitty Somebody tell this twerp on video over at Althouse’s site that Wisonsin’s motto is ‘Forward’. SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS is the motto of the Commonwealth of Virginia. One is tempted to say that the public sector unions are behaving tyrannically in Wisconsin, but that gives the unions too much credit. They’re behaving in an […]

Detective Paco On The Border

by Smitty A fine break from whatever you were doing: Psychologists will tell you that people, when faced with a threatening situation, react instinctively: either “fight or flight”. What they overlook is the not inconsiderable number of human beings who are occasionally overwhelmed with a desire to shrink to the size of a dime and […]

Hacking Our Way To Smaller Government

by Smitty Via Insty, MIT’s Technology Review points to a McAfee article about governments getting hacked. The attacks stretch back almost five years, and ranged in duration from one month to 28 months. They affected 32 types of organizations, including government agencies and defense, construction, information technology, and accounting firms. McAfee believes the attacks were […]
