The Other McCain

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

Nefarious Or Stuck In A Kafka Machine, You Decide

by Smitty (h/t House of Eratosthenes) I’m going to risk irritating Andrew Cline at the American Spectator just a tad bit by rejecting this assertion: Campaigning in Des Moines, Iowa, yesterday, the President repeated his biggest health care reform whopper: You can keep your current health insurance. Here is what he said: “There’s nothing in […]

Does Daniel Hannan Support Stimulus Projects?

by Smitty Cubachi posted a Cato speech, 25 minutes of Hannan from 29 September, 2010, as he visits the Colonies in conjunction with the publication of The New Road to Serfdom, which, despite all initial title appearances, does not describe a shovel-ready Obama Administration project. Shameless Daniel Hannan fan that I am, I pre-ordered the […]

Be Sure To Applaud Stacy McCain For His Taste In Technology

by Smitty Longtime readers of this blog will recall that I’ve sort of been along for the ride since the Blogspot days. Stacy insisted that we should venture into the Wild Wild WordPress West, and there I was, in tow. Now, after some slight burps over the weekend, we’re bright-eyed, bushy tailed, and have not […]

Important Points About The ‘One Nation’ Rally Overlooked By Many

by Smitty The rally was a modern art statement in litter. Conservatives hate art, which is why they don’t understand the important expression on display. The rally was economic stimulus in litter.

SNL’s season opener with Katy Perry was mostly bad. Last night’s was an even worse mis-use of free speech. SNL: Kristen Wiig is […]

Finally Milano Justifies Retweet Abjurations

by Smitty Briefly: it looks as though, in trying to work on one issue, I may have caused others. The autopsy is still out, the lesion earnedlesson learned holds constant: there is no royal road to information technology. Kudos to Silver Logic for remarkable patience in the face of challenging customers. Certainly there are better […]

Moral Vacuum Strangely Empty Of Moral Understanding

by Smitty Ned Resnikoff at Salon trolls beautifully: “The non-existent moral case for tax cuts” Sure, the right will rend their garments over the Laffer curve and supply-side economics, but there’s a much simpler argument hiding behind the line graphs. It goes like this: We earned this money. We deserve it. It is therefore immoral […]

Noted Economist Rev. Jesse Jackson Declares Depression

by Smitty (h/t Lucianne) It’s hard to tell whether to be cheered or saddened. Rev. Jackson, at least as credible as Paul Krugman on economics, in Detroit declared depression: “The middle class is under attack,” Jackson told the Free Press on Wednesday. “Detroit, Michigan is ground zero.” Compared with unemployment and foreclosure rates nationwide, Detroit […]
