Easter Joe: God Is Crying

by Smitty On Easter, one envisions God crying tears of joy at the completed redemption of creation. Suffering bites. When it produces something as joyous as the victory over sin and death we celebrate at Easter, well, that is the centerpiece of human history, no? Even the Common Era folks confess this, however grudgingly. A […]

I Must Be Missing Something

by Smitty The President can override Congress on having various staff Czars with a signing statement, but he can’t close Guantanamo Bay, in accordance with his campaign promises. What if BHO had had a Guantanamo Bay Czar? What would that guy do?

Noonan: Are You Feeling Sufficiently Guilty? If Not, I Can Aid

by Smitty Another Saturday, another Peggy Noonan column to fisk. In this episode, some hypothetical Afghan strawman shows up to judge America for its sins. For a far more hyperbolic take, see The Onion’s Election 2000 coverage.

by Smitty So, the Pentagon’s investigation seems to have cleared Gen. McChrystal. Now I get this email saying you want me to subscribe to your sad little excuse for a fishwrapper. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! No, no, no, a thousand times no, and again: may your demise come swiftly, you sorry Commie rag!

Apple Wanted Location Data To Make Its Products Even More Compelling

by Smitty In its way, the concern over Apple’s iPhone data collection is laughable. If people understood the half of the data that companies and governments collect, they would. . .do pretty much what they are doing. Turns out the answer is simpler than you think, and it doesn’t involve a conspiracy theory, the government […]
