Thomas Sowell Drops The ‘F’ Bomb

by Smitty Right there in Real Clear Politics: Some years ago, for example, there was a big outcry that various mental tests used for college admissions or for employment were biased and “unfair” to many individuals or groups. Fortunately there was one voice of sanity– David Riesman, I believe– who said: “The tests are not […]

Ron Reagan Jr. Acts Like A Colossal Goon

by Smitty (h/t Gateway Pundit) My hat is off to Pamela, again, this time for tolerating the insufferable Ron Reagan, Jr. What a Solomon to Rehoboam transition for that family. Nancy, you love your son, I’m sure, but the same mouth that knows Governor Palin “hasn’t got a thought in her head” is entirely too […]

Fallout From Sarah Palin’s Kentucky Senate Endorsement of Rand Paul

For several weeks, I’ve been in communication with Lisa Graas, a Kentucky conservative who operated the PalinTwibe feed on Twitter, with nearly 4,000 followers.

In April, I’ll be in Boston for a Tea Party gathering there. Across the country, tea-partiers will be sharing our vision for America’s future, […]

I thought it a solid effort. The critics are going to be all over the shrill voice, in their own shrill tones.

The Olbermann Rule

“Anything done by any Republican is a scandal, if I decide it is, because being a Republican is such an inherently shady choice to begin with, you just know they must be up to shenanigans.” Lefty journalists have operated by this principle for years now: “Hey, look, Joe Congressman (R-Somewhere) is on the banking committee and […]

Oh. My. God.

Just when you think Andrew Sullivan can’t possibly go further off the deep end, he manages to surprise you. When someone put this on Twitter — “Andrew Sullivan hits new low in attacking Palin” — I thought they were joking. Surely his new low couldn’t actually be lower than his old low? Foolish naivete! At […]
