Got Milk?

by Smitty Aye, and he’s a hardy lad, the World’s Youngest Blogger.

Even Peggy Has Him Pegged. Finally.

by Smitty Joining the Formidable Ann Althouse in the self-identifying rube chorus is Peggy Noonan. Sort of. The [Republican] establishment was being conservative in the Burkean sense: acknowledge reality, respect it, and make the most progress possible within it. This has not always been true of them. They spent the first decade of this century […]

Go For The Trifecta

by Smitty Volokh has links to a debate on the repeal of the 17th Amendment. Let me take a broad, general swipe at lawyers and say that they often stand too close to the problem. If you consider the 16th & 17th Amendments, plus the Federal Reserve act in isolation, you can come up with […]

Not Saying That Stacy’s Slipping, But He Missed A Really Groovy Garcia Riff

Then I told him that, as a result of government irresponsibility, he was starting out in the hole […]

Going-In Position: The Opposite Of Jim Moran’s Ideas Are Good Ones

by Smitty (via Lee Hernly) VA-8’s Clown Prince of Goofballs, “Gentleman” Jim Moran, can be relied upon to touch his forehead to the deck whenever required for the President: Rep. Jim Moran sounded a similar warning Friday. The Virginia Democrat said the McConnell proposal “is not about what’s in the best interest of the country” […]

Pig Skin In The Game

by Smitty The Blaze notes that even the overpaid prima donnas of the NFL managed to get their act together and finish negotiations.
