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

On Mr. Rumsfeld

by Smitty By the power of Kindle, I’m about 2/3 through Rumsfeld’s book, and I highly recommend it to all Americans. The initial chapters about the ’60s and ’70s alone are highly educational for the GenX and younger crowd. Jon Stewart tries to interview and dangles very close to an important point about the effort […]

Mutiny

by Smitty If a group of public servants under the UCMJ were to pull the sort of rolling stunt currently seen in Wisconsin, with support in various other states, no one would hesitate to call it precisely what it is. Private sector unions are one thing. Trumka is a genius, getting all of those people […]

Sissypuss The Blog Kitty Will Now Do A Performance Art Summary Of The Leftist Triumph In Wisconsin

by Smitty This is a little something mooched from Miss Cellania that summarizes the situation in cheeseland rather effectively. It’s below the fold so that Stacy doesn’t reach through the internet and slap me for slowing the page load.

I Guess The Real Question Is: ‘Can An Amphibian Like Troglopundit Be Elected’?

by Smitty Hopes of a domestically boring time period while I’m over by the Hindu Kush have proven futile. One would not have picked Wisconsin as the epicenter of the meltdown, but there it is. The teachers jumped the shark, and the Democrats jumped the border. Chicago Boyz point out that, in addition to quirky […]

Best VA Political Week Of The Year

by Smitty I know CPAC is at full roar, while I sit out in the cold, where I can catch enough bandwidth for a post. What a week in VA news. Cuccinelli tilting the SCOTUS windmill-style for the ObamaCare case. VMI looking really creepy over Islam. And then ol’ “Born Fightin’” Webb decides that fighting […]

Haiku Sonnet For Sarah Palin

by Smitty Given a challenge by Sheppard to write a poem for Sarah Palin, and a boring afternoon meeting, I should like to submit: Haiku Sonnet For Sarah Palin The Palin fascination  Infecting the news today   Really does boggle the mind. Is she Nemesis, some way  Causing POTUS frustration   The very First Teeth to grind? […]

A Reverse Piven Strategy?

by Smitty Tyler Cowen’s little book, “The Great Stagnation: How America Ate All The Low-Hanging Fruit of Modern History, Got Sick, and Will (Eventually) Feel Better” is interesting, but I’m nonplussed by this notion: Right-wing ideas, in their least viable forms, have become more popular in this political environment. From the American right, tax cuts […]

Get Pawlenty’s ‘Courage to Stand: An American Story’

by Smitty I didn’t write a novel, true, but I did just finished reading Tim Pawlenty’s book, and I must confess some mystification. The book is a great read. Pawlenty comes off as a seasoned, sharp, dedicated leader. He reveals a deep faith, for the social conservatives. Believers in the Progressive Faith will call him […]
