DaTechGuy Double Dose

by Smitty This blog and DaTechGuy form something of a mutual admiration society. Besides being a thoroughgoing gentleman, he also was also kind enough to opine on Erik Erickson and Matt Kibbe, who opened the BlogCon thoughtful remarks. Erickson had offered an anecdote about a decent neighbor who had been neighborly until discovering that Erik […]

Exclusive Video: Pudding Presentation At BlogCon Humor Panel

by Smitty Guick grab on the phone, sorry about the sound quality. The panel, L-R, was Ace, Snark and Boobs, Iowahawk, and Caleb “FunnyNameGoesHere” Howe. Pudding is a running joke on Ace, which see.

Prelude To Remembrance

by Smitty The 10th of September is a suitable day to take the readers on a heavy journey. It’s not a cemetery, but, every time one goes into Memorial Hall at the US Naval Academy, one makes no effort whatsoever to hold back the tears. As you ascend the stairs, the words of Captain Lawrence, […]

Megan McArdle, Trapped By Quaint Terminology

by Smitty Insty links Megan using old, tired terms like “seignorage.” The new hotness, quantitative easing, readily obviates the difficulties by doubling the word and syllable count.

The Outrage Vacuum Over Hartford

by Smitty Aleister at American Glob wants to know where the liberals whining about Christianity in public are on the invitation to imams to pray at city council meetings.
