Anyone Else Shocked That One Election Didn’t Magically Fix Everything?

by Smitty Insty links the Examiner about the Dems being Muhammed Ali, letting the GOP wear themselves out before delivering a knockout. I don’t think the analogy has much going for it. The Progressive position itself looks more like this old Harry Reid pose behind Rep. Sonny Bono (R-IP) The 2010 election has been called […]

Is Stacy McCain’s Fashion Sense Roughly Equivalent To His Skill At Arguing With Women?

by Smitty So Stacy has engaged in a lengthy dialogue with Little Miss Attila the last couple of days. In the asymmetric warfare between the sexes, whoever emits the most material is not necessarily the winner. In any case, he’s not managed to be on Twitter to chew the fat with me.

Of Pundits And Palin

by Smitty The men-striation of the pundits who, more or less monthly, have to remind us that Sarah Palin is horrible–but don’t call them misogynist–remains a source of amusement.
