If There Was Ever A Time To Avoid Triumphalism. . .

by Smitty Even Allahpundit sounds chipper about the polling. Look, people: The election is weeks away yet. The Tea Party is always in danger of being hoisted on its own retards* (the GOP). Even in the case of a GOP win, the prize is a stinking debt diaper. Expect Sir Golf-a-lot to do exactly that, […]

The Blogging Equivalent Of Being Whisked Off To The Cornfield

by Smitty #UPDATE `wp_comments` SET `comment_approved` = 0 WHERE comment_author=’gg’; #522 row(s) affected. ( Query took 0.1370 sec ) So, that was a trifle drastic. I had hoped an earlier comment hint I left about opening his own shop on Blogger would have been enough. Then there was this email from Stacy: GG has just […]

Congratulations, Pamela Geller!

The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War on America just went into its second printing, Pamela told me last night in a phone conversation.  Geller is in Los Angeles to speak tonight (7 p.m.) with Robert Spencer at the Skirball Cultural Center in an event co-sponsored by Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and the David Horowitz Freedom […]

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. There is something of an embargo about the exact nature of the production, and I’m on deadline for The American Spectator, so I can’t give you the full story now. However, […]

Piece Of Work In Progress Is On The
Road Again

by Smitty He’s collecting Road to Damascus moments, when people realized that all or, in my case, some, of their political naivete, and move over to pursuing liberty. The reference, of course is to Saul meeting the Christ while en route Damascus to persecute Christians. The sheer number of these Left=>Right conversions might be an […]

Had A Blast Out Knocking On Doors

by Smitty What a good time. Extroversion really isn’t a preferred mode for someone who’d rather sit around and blog. Nevertheless, supporting Patrick Murray, or whoever the local anti-fascist candidate in your district may be, is crucial. Thus, it’s hard to be happy with the Peter Schiff in the crowd: Connecticut Republican nominee for the […]
