The Other McCain

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

9th Circuit Court Of Appeals (Hello, S.F!) Denies Gov. Brewer

by Smitty (via Malkin) There just isn’t any way to avoid politicizing justice on this one. Bolton looked a tool for granting the injunction, the 9th Circuit looks a full-on toolbox. One hopes, for the sake of everyone, that the scofflaws take a break from scoffing at the law until after the election. It isn’t […]

One Approach Exceeds The Other

by Smitty Via No Quarter: Spoke with David Drucker, Roll Call, to learn that the Democratic leadership in the Senate openly describes its strategy for the mid-term election as a version of going negative early, late, and always. The Democratic campaign charge, according to Robert Menendez of New Jersey, is to paint the Republicans as […]

Al Gore Cleared Of Portland Harassment Charges

by Smitty (via HuffPo) While one has precious little respect for the gentleman, bogus accusations are unhelpful. It seems that the actual content of the Portland harassment charges clocked in somewhere between a Nobel Peace Prize and an Oscar for a propaganda documentary. The world is now a little less bogus. Yay.

What Doctor Zero Said

by Smitty Doctor Zero picks up directly and briefly after Prof. Angelo Codevilla, pointing out that the Federal government is not your friend and corruption is a function of time. It’s worth adding, as a result, that incumbency is a function of the structural factors encouraging it and the fact that DC is where the […]

A Fine Pawlenty Intro

by Smitty (h/t Political Byline) I’ve seen him live a couple of times, and he hasn’t disappointed. What’s intriguing about him is that he seems especially comfortable both in speech mode and, as far as I can tell, actually doing the job, as he has in Minnesota. My understanding is that he’s outmaneuvered an opposition […]

William Astore Makes Lindsey Graham Sound Macho

by Smitty Bio: William Astore teaches History at the Pennsylvania College of Technology. He retired from the Air Force as a lieutenant colonel in 2005, having taught at the Air Force Academy as well as the Naval Postgraduate School. He writes regularly for TomDispatch.com and History News Network. He has a post entitled “Our Military’s […]

That Would Be A Maybach, Gibbs

by Smitty (via Drudge) Purely Reprehensible Egotistical Slimy Sycophant (PRESS) Secretary Gibbs has nothing better to do than make personal attacks on citizens, e.g. Rush Limbaugh, who fail to agree with the atrocious policies his boss carries out and for which he gleefully carries water. In particular, attacks on the foul policy of bailing out […]

Laugh Your Head Off At Christianity

by Smitty Get a copy of the King James Translation of the Bible, and a friend. Turn to John 3. Read the dialog with Nicodemus aloud, as if the Carpenter and Nicodemus are from New York City. Loudly, accurately, with lots of body language. It’s an entirely new dimension. Here’s this bit about Islam, courtesy […]
