I Guess The Real Question Is: ‘Can An Amphibian Like Troglopundit Be Elected’?

by Smitty Hopes of a domestically boring time period while I’m over by the Hindu Kush have proven futile. One would not have picked Wisconsin as the epicenter of the meltdown, but there it is. The teachers jumped the shark, and the Democrats jumped the border. Chicago Boyz point out that, in addition to quirky […]

She Went Down to the Demonstration …

. . . to get her fair share of abuse, but even Ann Althouse can’t always get what she wants. She found a woman holding a sign that said, “Please don’t teabag our children.” (Question: Did that woman have any children of her own? Or was the phrase “our children” employed in the progressive, collectivist […]
