Not To Go Blaming The Victims, But ‘Ezra Klein Urban Planning’ Is A Wash

by Smitty Have we pilloried Ezra Klein enough for his über-knob assertion that “it’s impossible to understand the US Constitution because it’s over 100 years old”? No. The notion that ‘wisdom is timeless’ is like Levis 501 blue jeans, only older. Old like an obelisk whose wisdom you ignore at your peril. “High dwellings are […]

One Does Hope This Is Pure Bluff

by Smitty CNS News reports “Soldiers Won’t Get Paid Under Government Shutdown, Medicare Payments Would Continue, Obama Administration Determines” Soldiers will continue to earn money but not be paid during a government shutdown, a senior Obama administration official said.  “Military will continue to work as I described earlier,” the official said. “They will continue to […]

Insty’s Sarcasm Exceeds Caustic Level

by Smitty Here: I can predict that President Obama will do something that his supporters used to think was stone-cold evil and unAmerican, and most of them will be fine with it. Oh, wait, that’s already happened? Never mind, then. I blame Fukushima radiation. Oh, and did I mention the #Obama2012Slogans hash on Twitter? Heh: […]

by Smitty The fedora. The cigarettes. The coffee. The lucid, well-organized prose that sucks the order out of the rest of his life. The laptop that has been beaten in the ‘rented mule’ fashion. Stacy McCain, whom I guess I’ve known about three years now, is a man so set in his ways that the […]

Trog Summarizes Ryan, And Had Me Until The Last Sentence

by Smitty TrogloPundit does a fine job of summarizing thoughts of Ace and Hot Air on the Ryan budget. He wonders what Ryan has to do to get past some of the underwhelmed response in the conservative blogs. I understand you’ve got to cheer for the Representative from your own state, but really, Trog: this […]

I Guess Katie Couric Turned It Down

by Smitty *cough* Debbie *heh* Wasserman-Schultz *snort* for DNC Chair? Replacing little ol’ Timmy “NOVA” Kaine? Really? Admit it, Debbie: dread of Allen West has driven you to seek a safer harbor. It’s all gonna be OK. More at Hot Air.

by Smitty Ace’s post “Boehner: I Will Not Perpetrate A Fraud On The American Public” prompts a reply in the form of a paraphrase of the good Representative Jessup (D-mented): Son, we live in a country that has social safety nets, and those nets have to be guarded by politicians with legislation. Who’s gonna do […]
