Missing Grease Located

by Smitty The USNA Class of ’13 may have been a bit dismayed today to discover that, not unlike the American electorate, they got the obelisk without the grease. Yay, Metrosexuals! Your class is weak. It would be a gross breach of protocol not to heap abuse upon these lesser beings for their shortcomings, as […]

Which Fluid Is Scarier?

by Smitty (via American Digest) iOwnTheWorld’s Oil of Obama: or, Ace of Spades’ cocoa butter? Shameless bloviators who’re trying to score a top Memeorandum thread may consider mixing the two. This blog cannot be held responsible for the disastrous side effects of such experimentation, and renews its commitments to safety and vanilla pudding for all.

What Would Happen If The Supreme Court Upheld A Meaningful Interpretation Amendment X?

by Smitty Megan McArdle asks the negative question: what if SCOTUS strikes down ObamaCare? I like the more positive assertion in the post title. “Judicial restraint” for the last century has seen the SCOTUS asleep at the switch, while Federal over-reach has led to government run amok. Certainly, a few generations have benefited, but the […]

Governor Brewer Could Not Be
Reached For Comment
UPDATE: Bubba, Too?

by Smitty American Power reports on Mass. Rep. Michael Moran, rear-ended by an apparently illegal alien. Past the snarky title, let us: Not rejoice in anyone’s misfortune, and Note that drunk driving is a huge part of the case. That said, it will be interesting to watch this “unfortunately undocumented societal victim of Bush-era injustice” […]

Summarizing Morrissey’s
DNI Replacement Post

by Smitty Ed offers some fine detail on why Dennis Blair ejected: The problem stems from a poorly designed reform of the American intelligence community, provided by the 9/11 Commission and adopted by a too-credulous Congress under political pressure. Prior to that, the CIA director was the head of all non-military intelligence, both gathering and […]

Rule 5 Sunday

by Smitty The big news this week was that Miss America beauty pageant, and something that could be an escape from politics became, sadly, and exercise in politics. It recalls that SNL sketch from a few years back where they had an interview show talking to all of the people who had wrecked it for […]

The Difference Between Theory And Practice Is Greater In Practice Than In Theory

by Smitty Da Tech Guy asserts that Rand Paul failed to consider his audience when launching into a theoretical discussion on MSNBC: The basic issue isn’t so much with the theory, which I discuss in detail here; the problem is theory can be an excuse to do nothing. As Sen Pat McNamara once said to […]

Recent Offerings For The Younger Set

by Smitty Via the entire right-o-sphere, Governor Brewer seems deeply concerned at the appalling lack of literacy amongst political appointees: This is all the more worrisome considering the copycat States considering similar legislation. From Caroline Glick we have a Hebrew language satire show that, I daresay is as formidable as Colbert, only with a delightful […]
