The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Professor William Jacobson Given the Treatment by Fecal Matters

by Smitty Media Matters went after Legal Insurrection, reports Prof. Jacobson: Doesn’t Media Matters, with all its new Soros money, have anything better to do than take my posts out of context? That is who they are; that is what they do. The crucial point that all moderate and conservative Americans need to realize is […]

Do Not Succumb To Eric S. Raymond’s Despair

by Smitty ESR seems correct in asserting the apocalypse is nigh. But even if they immanentize the escargot, we can’t fold, as he advocates. If half the battle is showing up, then going radio silent ensures you have not input after the come-to-Beavis moment. For all the US has gone way off course the next […]

Repeat After Me: Raaaaacism Is DNA-Based Decision Making

by Smitty I’m shocked, shocked! when I look at the latest doings of Holder’s DOJ while sticking a fork in an electric outlet.
