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 […]
New York Times Sends an 11-Year-Old Girl to Interview the Jonas Brothers
Or the equivalent thereof: Shridar Pappu’s profile feature on “Washington’s New Brat Pack” pulses with so much fanzine breathlessness you might think it was February 1964 and the Beatles had just landed in New York: In only a few years, these young men and others like them have become part of the journalistic establishment in […]
05Apr: Walker’s Wisconsin Waterloo?

If they screwed up and left me in charge, I should like to see an open source map algorithm, as well as completely […]
Federal Reserve Offers Increased Kinetic Mumbojumbo Action (KMA)
by Smitty It’s almost as if (a) people are gaining the impression that central banking is the all-time winner in the Faustian bargain sweepstakes, and (b) the word about the peasants gathering pitchforks and torches is reaching fairly high places. The Wall Street Journal reports that quantitative easer-geezer Ben Bernanke in April will start holding […]
Why Does It Shock Us That GE Paid No Taxes For 2010?
by Smitty So GE paid not taxes last year, per Gateway Pundit quoting the NYT. This really is nothing new. As Ancient Commenter Jesus of Nazareth noted: of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? —Matthew 17:25 Really, this situation is problematic only if […]
