Trump Certainly Heightens The
Dramatic Tension

by Smitty I, for one, am thankful that the birth certificate release proved to be pure anti-climax. Let this be a lesson to everyone to avoid investing energy in distractions. Try not to notice the amount of Obama Exceptionalism that was brought to bear. The blog seems to have its comb-over in place today. Professor […]

Ace of Spades and Bill Kristol

You’ve got to admit that’s a pretty cool mental image: Ace of Spades talking 2012 presidential politics with Bill Effing Kristol at the Breitbart book party. It’s probably just a mattter of time now before we see Kristol on TV telling Fred Barnes, “Well, I admit you’ve got a point there, Fred, but as Ace […]

‘His Typical Silly-Bitch Passive-Aggressive Gay-Gossip Insinuation Act’

Andrew Sullivan gets a memorable beatdown from Ace of Spades, after Sully returned to old habits in reaction to Justin Elliott’s debunking of Trig-Trutherism at Salon. A couple days ago, I was interviewed by a reporter who is working on a story about Trig-Trutherism and other anti-Palin memes that have circulated over the past two-and-half years.

Excellent Bits From Protein Wisdom And The Ace Of Spades

by Smitty Sophistry: . . .language divorced from its anchor (intent) and set to semiotic drift results, predictably, in cynical, self-serving, largely recursive narrative enclosures, with desire — a will to power — coming to stand in for meaning, creating illusory “truths” out of self-interested consensus. That is, mob rule. Or, as Ronnie James Dio […]

Obama’s Foreign Policy: America Could Lose a War That We’re Not Even Fighting

Ace of Spades describes the situation that St. Hopey has maneuvered us into with the Libyan rebels: Now, if Obama has in fact arrived far too late and backed a losing cause, he’s going to have to face a serious dilemma. 1. “Americanize” the war and win what the indigenous forces cannot. 2. Allow the rebels […]

Answer: Because I Really Do Not Need A Rocket Suppository

by Smitty Ace asks: “Why Is the Media Covering Up The Kill Team Story?“. It was quite wrong for the media to endanger troops in the W era over Abu Ghraib. If you’ve let your emotional horses out of the barn, and feel that news of what a handful of twistos have done should be […]

Ace Miffed At Portman For Doing What She Does?

by Smitty I’m afraid I don’t grasp the nature of the criticism of Natalie Portman, whose Black Swan flick I still haven’t seen. Come to think of it, my only knowledge of the lady is that the Slashdot crowd fantasizes about her petrified, naked, and covered in hot grits. So what if she was also […]

Helping Ace With His Joe Lieberman Blogging

by Smitty For Heaven’s sake, Ace: you can’t have a title like Joe Lieberman: “You Can’t Stay Out of These Things [Foreign Wars Like Libya]… You Have To Take Chances” without reaching for the ABBA: Sung from Momar’s vantage, the lyrics take on grotesque irony.
