The Other McCain

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

Is Charles Krauthammer Cynical Enough?

by Smitty Krauthammer’s take on the oil spill cleanup effort seems insufficiently curious to me: The fact that Salazar is sticking with this and that they’re going to appeal and they’re going to hang in there on this I think is a measure of how much this administration is in hock to its ecological left. […]

They Told Me If I Voted For John McCain, I Could Blame Instapundit Instead Of Bush. . .And They Were Right!

by Smitty This blog is proud to clock in at #3 on a roundup of usages of Insty’s arguably favorite trope. Quite a funny bit of photo work there, too, with balloons by SuperLame.com. We need more laughs these days.

Fact Checking Left Coast Rebel

by Smitty LCR and I are both Rush fans. I realize they are insufficiently bluesy for RSM (whatever!) but they express more raw talent on one track than the bulk of contemporary bands do on whole releases. As a result of the Rush fandom, I have to offer a poke at LCR for what amounts […]

Downsizing The Federal Government

by Smitty (h/t Left Coast Rebel) DTFG is a great new Cato site. The country’s problems boil down to the Federal government undertaking non-Federal tasks. Disabusing Congress that it should have any interactions with private citizens concerning housing, education, health care and retirement is key to preserving the country. The dirty work of cleaning up […]

Worthy Of Review In The Case Of General McChrystal

by Smitty There is precious little I have to add to the discussion. But I know someone who does: “Now, you sunsabitches: you know how I feel.”

Why Is It That Nothing Sounds Too Creepy For This Administration?

by Smitty Townhall links a letter from Sens. Grassley, Hatch (R-Utah), Vitter (R-La.), Bunning (R-Ky.), Chambliss (R-Ga.), Isakson (R-Ga.), Inhofe (R-Okla.), and Cochran (R-Miss.), saying: We understand that there’s a push for your Administration to develop a plan to unilaterally extend either deferred action or parole to millions of illegal aliens in the United States. […]

Cordoba Mosque Epiphany

by Smitty (h/t iOwnTheWorld) Opposing the 9/11 Mosque is, in some ways, the modern equivalent of the Siege of Vienna. Pamela mentions another gathering on Friday, 10 September, at the start of the clip. Make it bigger than the last protest. Weakness is an open invitation.

Orszag Yaz Moment?

by Smitty Hearing that Rahm is pondering greener pastures, Peter Orszag is apparently unwilling to hold down the fort solo. Or is it more than just Rahm? Is budgeting just too ‘last administration’ for this one? Seriously. Well past their April 15 deadline to pass a budget, congressional Democrats have yet to even introduce one. […]
