‘The Cetaceous-Like-Homunculus’

It’s been a while — too long, really — since we’ve made fun of James Wolcott. I stumbled across the picturesque phrasing of Dan Collins at Piece of Work in Progress (quoted in the title), describing the author of this infamous expression of environmentalist misanthropy: “I root for hurricanes. When, courtesy of the Weather Channel, […]

Birth Certificate Proves Ace of Spades Was Born on the Forest Moon of Endor

Some Birthers are stubbornly insisting that the birth certificate released this past week was a forgery. Ace slaps one around for our amusement: I have learned two uncontestable facts from the Birth Certificate Conspiracy Theory Saga: 1. There is a sucker born every minute. 2. Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August […]

Obama: ‘Too Smart By Half’?

by Smitty Ace of Spades has already run roughshod over this, but I’ve got a point to add. Dana Milbank (“There’s too much going on in the poor guy’s head”) and David Brooks (“Obama’s just too complex a man with multiple identities, each true and real”) have beclowned themselves at length, and I suspect it’s […]

Don’t Touch My Birth Certificate Junk

by Smitty Ann Althouse: You could criticize Obama for wasting our time by not just releasing the damned thing earlier. But he could have thought it was demeaning to have to do this, so I’m inclined to give him a pass. No, really: if we are truly an egalitarian society, then there is no pass […]

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 […]
