Ground Zero Mosque As An Election Issue

by Smitty (h/t Libertarian Republican) John Gomez floats the obvious question: He has Sarah Palin’s endorsement. I’m all for seeing ecumenical centers at all sorts of hallowed sites, like Mecca, Medina, and Ground Zero. Because if ‘tolerance’ and ‘sensitivity’ are not omni-directional, then they may just be cheap talking points proffered by the nefarious. On […]

Big Furt Hat Boils Keynesian Economics Down To A Graphic

by Smitty Simplicity is a treasure. Sure, you can trundle over to The Classic Liberal for a more full treatment, but BFH deploys Mr. BFD to devastating effect: While we need to have a detailed refutation on hand for serious discussion, the straight-ahead, crayon-level belly laugh is also crucial. Thanks, Big Fur Hat! Update, via […]

Fear and Loathing in Hollywood

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — I’m at a sound stage near Santa Monica Boulevard where Ladd Ehlinger Jr. is directing his latest series of political ads.

Da Tech Guy Interviews Mattie Fein

The local newspaper can’t be bothered, but she scores big with New Media: “There are serious issues in the district and the voters deserve the issues on the table.” Read the whole thing. Remember it was Da Tech Guy who loaned me the Famous Fedora of Objectivity, which made another celebrity appearance today: Yeah, Mattie Fein has […]

I Must Be Missing Something Here

by Smitty Political ByLine has a solid roundup on yet another classy outburst in the political discourse, this time from the Left, a T-shirt saying ‘[verb] tea’.
