Don’t Tell Tabitha Hale . . .

. . . but despite her efforts to exclude me from Blog Con, I managed to find a way down here with Chris Renner. Here are a few photos of Thursday evening’s reception: Important blogger Stephen Kruiser and Amy Miller of Red State. All the BlogCon ladies love Steve Eggleston of No Runny Eggs. BTW, […]

Megan McArdle, Trapped By Quaint Terminology

by Smitty Insty links Megan using old, tired terms like “seignorage.” The new hotness, quantitative easing, readily obviates the difficulties by doubling the word and syllable count. Also, an opaque and unaccountable Federal Reserve is a handy source of shenanigans to keep that stock market bubble inflated. Let our economy be a triumph of style […]

What Tabitha Hale Said

I had called the Interactive Media Coordinator for FreedomWorks to explain why I wouldn’t be able to attend BlogCon — Where All the Important  Bloggers Will Be — and, although I wasn’t taking notes, the conversation went something like this: TABITHA: Hi, Stacy! I’m sitting here having lunch with some friends of yours. We’re laughing behind your back. ME: Of course you […]

Oddly Satisfied-Looking Jackalope Spotted In Reagan Airport Vicinity

by Smitty Also, DaTechGuy loses some fresh cannoli. Coincidence? Abso-tively not!

Your All-Dan-Riehl Daily Delaware Republican Senate Primary Update

Defenestrating NRO’s Jim Geraghty. And finally, Dan links Tammy […]

Will One In Four Go To One In Five?

by Smitty (the Corner) The notion of ‘tax cuts’ seems worth revisiting. The idea that the Federal government has eminent domain over all US wallets, while enshrined in the 16th Amendment, is increasingly repugnant. Now we have a President, of whom roughly one in four strongly approve, talking about even further wrong-headed action against the […]

The Delivery, With Claire Berlinski

by Smitty Jimmie Bise’s The Sundries Shack gives us The Delivery, featuring Margaret Thatcher biographer Claire Berlinski. There Is No Alternative sounds like a great read (I wish list everything, then go on a spree later). The chat interface for the podcast probably makes sense to whoever wrote it. I waded through the login and […]

ELO Laid Low

by Smitty ELO is the source of my favorite St00p3d Qustion: “In the name, is ‘Light’ an adjective or a noun? Is it ‘Electric Light’ Orchestra, or Electric ‘Light Orchestra’.” Piece of Work in Progress reports the sad demise of a former band cellist. My favorite ELO cut, though I guess the deceased didn’t play […]
