This Reminds Me of Stalingrad
Earlier this afternoon, I remarked on Twitter how wonderful the Battle of Stalingrad was. Nazis killing Commies and Commies killing Nazis — killing each other by the thousands, day after day, week after week, for months on end. It was a win-win, and the only sad thing is that the battle ended before every last […]
Sputnik or Fort Sumter?
While I was busy commemorating today’s 150th anniversary of the bombardment that began the Civil War, it seems those commie comrades at Google decided to go with the “Bolsheviks in Space” motif: Bob Belvedere is suitably sarcastic: “Sure, why the Hell not.

I need a name that doesn’t suck. My father has suggested “Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus Smith” , which caused […]
I Dig Getting Paid, But Which Is Cheaper: Five Months Pay Lost, Or ObamaCare?
by Smitty Again cribbing the Mighty Instapundit, “I’ll believe it’s a crisis when the people telling me it’s a crisis start acting like it’s a crisis.” Up to the plate steps Michele Bachmann, and the baseball (not to mention the foppish excuse for a pitcher cluttering the mound) weeps in fear: “Because of this discrepancy […]
GOP Hopefuls Will Halt No Whine Before Its Time
by Smitty Alternate title: “GOP Hopefuls Note Budget Gallipoli, Neglect To Engage”. Via Protein Wisdom, we have Charles Gasparino in the New York Post: Sure, the candidates offered vague praise for Ryan after the plan’s release on Tuesday. Mitt Romney said Ryan is “setting the right tone for finally getting spending and entitlements under control.” […]
Climate Change Consenseless Goes Down In The House
by Smitty (h/t Pirate’s Cove) Lawmakers voted 184-240 against Rep. Henry Waxman’s (D-Calif.) amendment to a GOP-led bill that would strip the Environmental Protection Agency’s power to regulate greenhouse gases.
