The Riot Ideology in Ferguson

Ginning up racial strife is bad for business: Fusion, a Website that’s an, err fusion between Univision and ABC/Disney is shocked that Ferguson real estate prices are “Down nearly 50 percent since Michael Brown’s death.” There’s more than a hint of bias in that subhead, as the cause wasn’t Brown’s death after he slugged a […]

The Obama Age: ‘That ’70s Show’

In last night’s traditional Christmas round-up — genius! — I began by quoting Rob Long’s doom-and-gloom comments from a New York magazine feature about the post-election National Review Caribbean cruise, an article you should read in its entirety, if you want to be thoroughly depressed about the uselessness of our conservative elite: Wonks, pundits, pollsters […]

The Democrat Graveyard Whistling Choir Ignores ‘Preference Cascade’ Scenario

– Ed Driscoll points out that the “War on Women” hero/martyr Sandra Fluke drew a much smaller crowd than did the actual victims of the “War on Coal” in Grundy, Virginia. As they say, the plural of “anecdote” is data, and these are just a couple of points on the scatter-chart which are beginning to form into […]

If We Had an Actual Press Corps, They Would Be Asking …

by Smitty Driscoll links Harsanyi, “Obama supports same-sex marriage, cites states’ rights”: Which begs an obvious question: If Obama has endorsed federalism and believes that states have the right to define marriage, then why doesn’t he support the ability of states to extricate themselves from Obamacare? Why don’t states have the right to dictate their […]

Ed Driscoll Missed One: Introducing The New Lefty Craze ‘M-bowing’

by Smitty First, there was Obama’s bowing, and then Tebowing, and now M-bowing (Mao-bowing?), with the arms forming the outsides of the character, with the middle V described by the outline of the leg. The left leg. This new body language is suitable for an #Occupy mike check near you. Try not to bite your […]

A Little Schadenfreude From Ed Driscoll

by Smitty Because Mrs. The Other Smitty loves it when I abuse her tongue. Ed Driscoll rolls out the hot shadow laughter for BHO-One Quixote*: Incidentally, it’s got to be quite a comedown from having a rare combination of enough chutzpah and imaginary messianic power to say with a straight face, “This was the moment […]
