The Other McCain

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

Bad Food As A Legislative Metaphor

by Smitty It always starts rather innocently, doesn’t it? Somewhere around “There oughta be a law” or “I have a cunning plan”. And then what happens? Some jacknut sees that mitigated disaster of an idea and says “What the world needs right now is an unmitigated disaster” Now, while it’s a good thing that the […]

Democratic Wreckage Report: Blanche Lincoln

by Smitty Liberty Pundits bring the schadenfreude for the Senator from Arkansas. Out on the left coast, where redeeming the Congress will require perhaps greater effort, Valley of the Shadow is attending a Republican debate, and plans to report tomorrow on who is packin’ the gear in the effort to oust Waxman. Also your attention […]

Janet Napolitano Channels Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore

by Smitty Dell over at Uncoverage quotes Janet: “I know that border I think as well as anyone, and I will tell you it is as secure now as it has ever been,” Napolitano said. Equally demented:

Einstein Was A Physicist. Repeating Others’ Economic Failures, Hoping For Success, Is Sane.

by Smitty The Federal Reserve holds interest rates where they are for an ‘Extended Period‘, and the Dow holds itself above 11k. One person in three thinks the country is one the right track, which may or may not be related to Fed policy. Across the pond, Spain joined Portugal and Greece in the downgrade […]

And Democrats have the nerve, in this debate, to say that we’re the ones who are being dishonest.” What would it take to […]

Pink Elephant Pundit Requests The Attention Of Keith Olbermann

by Smitty Here is the evidence: In light of GeicoGate and the recent accusations from the media regarding the violent rhetoric of the conservative movement, I’ve taken the liberty of editing together the voicemails and emails we’ve received as a result of DC Douglas’ call to contact FreedomWorks. Here’s the result. I listened to about […]

They Told Me If I Voted For McCain That Wall Street Would Ply The Party In Power With Loot

by Smitty (h/t Gateway Pundit) . . .and they were right! I, for one, rejoice that our current POTUS has rhetorically held out his hand, palm directed at these miscreants, at least momentarily facing down these corrupting influences. . . . . .even if the palm immediately returned to its traditional skyward orientation.

Paul Ryan Is Great, Even If His Ideas Need Work

by Smitty Rep. Paul Ryan is that absolutely rare political animal who manages to be at once wonkish and likeable. In a system geared by election frequency toward myopia, he has had the unmitigated gall to offer something like a tangible plan to work on the most pressing fiscal problems besetting the country. Note that […]
