Trump’s Candidacy Snuffed In One Line

by Smitty (h/t Corner) Chris Rock on Donald Trump: “I won’t vote for him. I’m afraid he’ll leave us for a younger, prettier country.” And when you recall Ivana, it’s clear that no amount of stimulus projects will do. A buddy of mine chips in: “But I guess as long as he pays off our […]

Once in a Lifetime: Military Policy Edition

by Smitty Just a few days ago, I sketched what I think are the major points in the last century that have marked our national course to ruin. Among the major inputs to the whole dog’s breakfast we face is military policy. Now, I grew up a Navy brat, enlisted in the Navy, took a […]

Preview of Our Sound After Stacy, Wombat and I Drop Out of Blogging and Form a Band

by Smitty We might even have to steal the name, too. I thought these guys had had a Wikipedia page, telling you that they’re a bunch of Aussie surf bums who drag in to play from time to time. Now they’ve dwindled to a mere mention here. Saw them about 13 years ago at a […]

John Ensign (R-Nev.) announced Thursday he will resign his seat effective May 3. “It is with tremendous sadness that I officially hand over the Senate seat that I have held for eleven years,” he said in a statement. “The turbulence of these last few years […]

How To Read LGF Without Getting So Much Funk In The Browser

by Smitty I haven’t actually navigated to Little Foot Greenballs since the last time Instapundit linked Chuckles, which has been forever in Internet time. This post showed up in the Google Reader’s Recommendations section, which was worth a screencap and a post. Sorry, no link. I neither subscribe to the guy nor recommend reading him […]

Excellent Bits From Protein Wisdom And The Ace Of Spades

by Smitty Sophistry: . . .language divorced from its anchor (intent) and set to semiotic drift results, predictably, in cynical, self-serving, largely recursive narrative enclosures, with desire — a will to power — coming to stand in for meaning, creating illusory “truths” out of self-interested consensus. That is, mob rule. Or, as Ronnie James Dio […]

Why Rove Is a Trifle Overrated

by Smitty Karl Rove enjoys sounding like the big insider, and maybe he is, emphasis mine: The GOP needs to push back now—thoughtfully and aggressively. Yet in conversations with Senate and House Republicans, I was amazed to find they weren’t talking to each other. Though the Senate and House GOP leadership may be, congressional Republicans […]

Unborn, Businesses: Is There Anything The Nihilistic Left Will Not Abort?

by Smitty Stacy mentioned the myopia of the Left with respect to providing future voters earlier today. Down in the land of Nikki Haley, there is a similar outburst of nihilism afoot, attempting to abort Boeing’s efforts to build planes. Karl Marx famously said “From each according to his ability, to each according to his […]
