Is Fabius Maximus a Congressman?

by Smitty Fabius Maximus has always been a blog to trigger thought. I suspect it’s a gang blog, with a group of academics driving the posting. The blog has been an equal opportunity offender, handing out well-researched drubbings in every direction. This post raises a speculation about the author, emphasis mine: So the recovery must […]

Alan Colmes Asks After The Sugar

by Smitty Alan Colmes points out that the POTUS has a 53% approval rating in the latest polls. Colmes has a non-cranial point here: the Right-o-sphere should demonstrate more grace than the Left ever did for BHO’s predecessor. “Where is the sugar?” asks Alan. Def Leppard has it: Actually, this post is merely an excuse […]

Hear, Hear

by Smitty Patrick at Political Byline on the narrative shaping surrounding the University of Alabama tragedy. Specifically, he took umbrage with the Boston Herald for this quote: “‘She was an oddball – just not very sociable,’ said Sylvia Fluckiger, a former lab technician who worked with Bishop in 1993.” What bothers me is this; there […]

Michael Walsh at Big Journalism takes on MSNBC’s bizarre claim that the D.C. blizzard proves that climate-change skeptics are wrong: MSNBC apparently borrowed their talking points from the New York Times which, as Walsh notes, invoked the authority of “most climate scientists” for the assertion that climate change caused the massive snowstorm.

It’s Who You Know

Alexandra Penney calls herself an artist:  I take pictures of blowup dolls, and I use them as ciphers to comment on society, about sex and consumerism, to comment about artifice and superficiality.
