The Other McCain

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

Peggy Noonan, Secret Motörhead Fan

by Smitty (via Insty) The president is starting to look snakebit. He’s starting to look unlucky, like Jimmy Carter. It wasn’t Mr. Carter’s fault that the American diplomats were taken hostage in Tehran, but he handled it badly, and suffered. He defied the rule of the King in “Pippin,” the Broadway show of Carter’s era, […]

Flailing Might Just Recover Additional Oil

by Smitty This week’s FMJRA salutes The One, who seems to do everything except that which would help the situation. It doesn’t really matter whether the motives are simple incompetence or something more diabolical. The recovery will be political chemotherapy for us all.

Will Fabius Maximus Offer A Thorough Analysis?

by Smitty Fabius puts up a post, “Will people on the right help cut Federal spending?“, that could have as easily been entitled “Will Lopping The Heads Off Of Dandelions Improve The Lawn?” Fabius, the debt and deficit we face are rooted in the Federal government undertaking non-Federal tasks.

We can retire it right now, in June.” I’ll concede that it was gratuitous, tin-eared, and inarticulate.  BigFurHat has educated me on the point.  But we have […]

Not Wanting To Take On The Big Fur Hat Here. . .

by Smitty BFH at iOwnTheWorld says: Everyone, by now, has heard that Representative Joe Barton, from Texas, apologized to BP’s Tony Hayward for the “shakedown” they received from the Obama administration. Geez. Talk about a tin ear. Barton, everyone but BP and their family wants BP to pay for the clean up, so, you lost […]

Get Some! Get Some!

by Smitty (h/t House of Eratosthenes) A fine campaign ad: Begs a Full Metal Jacket paraphrase: Private Joker: How can you eliminate Progressives? Door Gunner: Easy! Ya just don’t lead ’em so much! Ain’t Keynesian economics hell?

Where Is Your Gallows Humor? Alvin Greene For President In 2012!

by Smitty (h/t No Quarter) Stacy thought it may have been raaaaacism. Jon Stewart didn’t think so, as he sent up the Alvin Greene story: The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c
