Is Politico Trying To Build Support For Governor Sarah Palin?

by Smitty (h/t DaTechGuy) Really. What dreck. Politico begins an article with two lines of slander, and then walk it back with “Those are just some of the opinions about Sarah Palin held by members of a small but extremely active network of gadflies, bloggers and authors who have devoted much of the last 2½ […]

Death Panels May Work, If Christoph Waltz Is In Charge

by Smitty He was the Nazi in Inglourious Basterds who was so evil that he didn’t need a James Earl Jones voice, and could make ordering a glass of milk into a sinister act. Sure, we’re talking some garden variety mayhem here, but he brings such a flair to the task that I truly think […]

Actually, Sprinklerman Has A Straighforward Play
