Let’s Cut Out The Buffett Blasphemy Right Now

by Smitty Update: I am rightfully taken to task by the Wondering Jew, in the comments, for my non-command of spelling in the title. I blame too much blood in my margarita system. This blog is witnessing some extremely un-mellow comments, as witnessed on the Insulted Again thread. The Wondering Jew offered this completely unacceptable […]

Smitty’s Three Word Immigration Bill

by Smitty “Enforce existing law” I’m not making it up. I’m married to an immigrant. There really is law on the books. People follow it. Bluegrass Pundit notes an AP article, which says: Latino leaders say they will work in coming months to pressure Republicans to give way and support an immigration bill – and […]

Rule Of Law Upheld In West Virginia

by Smitty (via Marc Ambinder) A legal precedent has been located that precludes a November vote for the final third of Senator Byrd’s term. From West Virginia’s Secretary of State, Natalie Tennant: Part of this same [relevant] section of code, requires the candidate to have filed during the filing period. That filing period has already […]

Krugman: If We Halt Policy That Causes Pain, The Situation Will Really Hurt

by Smitty (via Calculated Risk) I realize that Paul Krugman is to the Ivory Tower what my Congresstool is to the Administration: an unattractive cheerleader sans pom-poms.

Could Scott Brown Kill The Frank’n’Dodd Wall Street Reform?

by Smitty (via The Corner) Reuters reports: Brown’s possible defection from the bill increases the chance of a successful Republican filibuster this time unless Democratic leaders can find another vote. Democrats control 57 seats in the Senate and Republicans 41. Two independents usually vote with the Democrats. It takes 60 votes to end a filibuster. […]

Gentleman Jim Moran Proves Himself A Cosmic Winner On Hardball

by Smitty (h/t just a conservative girl) While I was in Manassas at the Celebrate the Constitution rally, I ran into some people complaining about what a tool Gerry Connolly is. I countered that I’m in VA-8, and, with the exception of Speaker Pelosi and maybe Steny Hoyer, nobody out-tools my tool. Judicial Watch added […]

Rule 5 Sunday

by Smitty Rule 5 enjoyed another active week. Thanks to all those sending in batch submissions as URLs. We may not be President, but, nevertheless, to the links! Fortune Rest Edith Shain Rule 5 salutes an icon of the day when “girls were girls and men were men” who has passed. There was a time […]
