‘The Power To Tax Is The Power To Destroy’

by Smitty (via Insty) Kansas City.com quotes Prof. Reynolds: Everyone should pay at least some income tax. And everyone’s tax bill should go up or down whenever federal spending does. KC.com then asks: Is there a way to more closely align politicians’ incentives with the nation’s long-term financial interest? It’s a lot tougher than it […]

Exclusive Video: Andrew Breitbart Responding To Joan Walsh

by Smitty Previously in this blog, in the “Joan Walsh: The Smoker She Drinks, The Player She Gets” episode, we explored Joan’s ludicrous assertion of earlier, pre-racial epithet video from March 20th at the Capitol Building being used in place of some hypothetical footage that would substantiate the false claims. Walsh: As a friend notes, […]

Tea Party Express III: Tax Day Rally
at Freedom Plaza

11 a.m. ET — “People’s Tax Revolt” in downtown Washington, D.C. Smitty is already on the scene. Barbara Espinosa and Pete Da Tech Guy (“Have Fedora, Will Travel“) and I are running late. UPDATE 11:20 a.m. ET — Michelle Malkin tells how to spot a Tea Party infiltrator. More from Jimmie Bise at The Sundries Shack, […]

Smittypalooza III Was Jolly Good Fun

by Smitty The guests, the venue, and the food were splendid. Chris Cassone and I bonded instantly. At the next table, I overheard him sing “I wanna be a lifeguard. . .” and I yelled “Blotto!” and he was shocked “You’ve heard of Blotto?” The little Dell Inspiron Mini is mostly a good gadget. The […]

Joan Walsh: The Smoker She Drinks, The Player She Gets

by Smitty Joan Walsh has posted the most risible dismissal of Andrew Breitbart imaginable. Emphasis mine: Andrew Breitbart isn’t fit to spit-shine the shoes of civil rights hero and Congressman John Lewis. It’s ludicrous to think that the right-wing bully believed he had the moral or political standing to call Lewis a liar, after Lewis […]

Breitbart Party Voodoo

“Best photo ever!” Lyndsey Fifield exclaimed after seeing this photo of a conversation at Friday’s New Orleans blogger bash off Chartres Street near the levee: Lyndsey reacts to Breitbart’s remark — a Tulane alumnus, Breitbart was confirming that New Orleans voodoo is a reality — as Dave Weigel of the Washington Post and political operative Zach […]

His Fedora Still Travels

NEW ORLEANS — As Smitty noted yesterday, Da Tech Guy continues his standing offer to travel anywhere to cover a story for $1,000 a week plus expenses. He was kind enough to extend the loan of his casual fedora — my favorite from the Scott Brown campaign we covered together — which has made several guest […]
