The Camp of the Saints Shows a Sad Non-Grasp of Nuance

by Smitty So, my cover is blown. Fine. You attempt to sew confusion in the opposition camp by propping up a non-contender, and what does Belvedere do? Call attention to the effort. At least Bob still thinks I’m a real person. If he figures out that I’m really an alpaca, I’ll be in deep guano.

Three in a Row

[Story motivated by a colleague who was on the receiving end of this scenario, but all details are original with me.]

*Da duh da duh* went the cel phone, wishing it could be the guitar in Satriani’s Chords of Life.

Rule 5 Sunday

Rule 5 Sunday, and a chance to accentuate the positive. The weather yesterday was frightful, but today is sunny, and we’ve a pleasant, relaxing show to lift the spirits

Bagman is a Hoot

The POTUS can stand there and say “We may be incompetent, but we’re all you’ve got” only as far as the […]

An Impromptu Interview With LCR

The Center Can Be No-Man’s Land

by Smitty Libertas et Memoria captures succinctly the tactical problem for the POTUS: the irresistible force of the Left, verses the immovable object of the Right, coming together as gently as a tsunami and a city for the administration. However, the real feeling of doom in the air, in my opinion, has more to do […]
