The Other McCain

GOP Swears Balanced Budget Amend. Will Make Congress Serious About The Job They’ve Blown Off For Decades

by Smitty One of the challenges in Afghanistan is that there just isn’t a competent workforce to do, for example, wire a building. You’ve just had a building built. Your likelihood in the winter of turning on the heat and not having your new building, itself, become the heat source is just not where most […]

7,000,000 Hits, 7-Minute Blogs

by Smitty MAZAR-I-SHARIF, AFGHANISTAN — Fourth of July. My seventh wedding anniversary. Seven mega-hits on the blog. They managed to figure out the proxy settings so that I can put up a proper post. Woo hoo! In this recent mobile planning meeting, we see Stacy McCain, the passenger, discuss the importance of the number seven […]

Gwick Nip

by Smitty If we believe the Progressive swindle that the General Welfare + Interstate Commerce + Necessary and Proper = the Constitution, then we can boil down the next Constitutional Convention to a single Tweet. I’m so glad that these Progressives are the smart ones, and I am the knuckle-dragger forced to rely on them […]

Letter To An Anonymous Blogger

by Smitty The shiny new blog Political Clown Parade is a welcome addition to the dextrosphere. Check this excellent bit of Thaddeus McCotter juxtaposed with The Gipper: Blogging is a rush, but you can’t have peaks without valleys. We are all members of the chorus of self-government. We succeed or fail insofar as we show […]

Better A Bald Head Than A Cheese Head

by Smitty Yet another scurrilous cheap shot from the Trog bog over my enthusiasm for a Thaddeus McCotter candidacy. For such abuse to be unexpected, there would have to have been some element of surprise. The Troglopundit never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity to comport himself in a civilized fashion. How could the […]

Necessary But Not Sufficient

by Smitty (h/t Insty) I don’t disagree with the mighty Scott Ott’s practical approach to a deficit deal, insofar as reality affects the thinking of the current POTUS, which is somewhere around ‘not at all’. Framing the discussion in terms of increasing revenue is both valid, and in keeping with Ott’s gentle humor. Past the friendly […]

Is Equal Protection Unconstitutional?

by Smitty (via Drudge) Among the greater Progressive farces is the notion that raaaaacism is acceptable when carried out by the goverment. A federal appeals court has struck down Michigan’s ban on the consideration of race and gender when enrolling students at public colleges and universities. In a 2-1 decision Friday, the court said Michigan’s […]

Nothing Jeopardizes My Pawlenty Support Like The Thought Of McCotter Running For POTUS

by Smitty Hot damn!, via Hot Air. I’m totally a fan of this guy: a wonkish chap who serves up a pure stream of liberty-oriented thinking with dry, understated humor. Probably there would be some of the usual politician ego (UPE) in him somewhere, but one suspects you’d have to look harder than in most […]
