The Other McCain

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

Why Wait For Green Police: Fashion Police Already Here

by Smitty The wardrobe imbroglios of the 2008 campaign were insufficient. Now we must regulate all of Governor Palin’s body markings and accessories. Professor Jacobson points to some classless ponce, Yale Graduate School student Eric Robinson, an Iraq/Afghanistan veteran, and possible miniature John Kerry. Robinson: it’s her son, arm, and metal. For you to say […]

OK, I Found The Moderate Part

by Smitty There is moderation, and I’ve emphasized it.  However, using the word ‘unprecedented’ in the same participle made my shizzle fizzle.  But this is just one post; we should look at a substantial sample space, and let the conclusions form themselves.  This is part of the effort to help these poor folks recall what […]

Instapundit notes speculation about the hiring of Keith Olbermann as a replacement. It would be a case study in Comparative Contempt to have Press Secretary stints from the both.

by Smitty Halifax, Nova Scotia could need to rebuild the whole waterfront, if a new study floating the possibility of a 2 1/3 foot rise in ocean levels pans out. The really dreamy part was how the ocean picked up all the swelling in Eastern Canada only, while the rest of Mother Earth wobbled about […]

by Smitty The unflappable Ron Paul has been sporting camel hair and partaking of locusts and wild honey for nearly four decades now. Everyone ought to lay hands on End the Fed and see what dedication to a real cause looks like.
