The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

2012 The Best Year Ever?

by Smitty A fine Trifecta outing: It’s useless to judge the quality of the year as it ends. We’re too close to the details. We know that all of the numbers get adjusted down later. And the Big Doom will like arrive in 2013, though it will be labelled as ‘reform’, one predicts. Merry Christmas!

A Holiday Tradition Continues

“We lost. We are losers. . . . Our operatives are incompetent and we live in a dream world.” — Rob Long of National Review, in an interview with Joe Hagan of New York magazine during a Caribbean cruise in November Readers expect “Christmas Cheesecake” from us this time year and what kind of conservative […]

Occupy Althouse? (The Zero-Sum Error)

There are times when you must choose between gratitude and resentment and, considering how rarely this blog gets linked by Ann Althouse, I’ve decided to be grateful that my thoughts on Professor Erik Loomis provided her and Meade with some laughs.

The kids woke up at 7 a.m. to […]

I DENOUNCE THIS ATROCITY!

I’m not sure which is more profoundly offensive: The song itself, or Richard McEnroe posting it under the title, “A Ron Paul Christmas”: There are so many layers of sick humor atrociously bad taste hate crime involved, I’m not sure where to begin: Orthodox Jews will be horrified by this shiksa‘s expression of carnal lust for Jew-flesh; […]

Yeah, That Was Pretty Quoteworthy

“Ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good.” — Genesis 50:20 (KJV) It’s strange sometimes how you find stuff to blog about. Some people are systematic — Smitty’s always sending me stuff he finds with a newfangled doohickey called a “feedreader” — but I’m kind of random myself. Last night a reader […]

VIDEO: How Obama Stole Christmas

This video is destined to go viral: Hat-tip to Alyssa Farah, who sent me the press release: COLLEGE REPUBLICANS: OBAMA HAS PUT SANTA OUT OF WORK Washington, DC, December 5, 2011 — The College Republican National Committee has released a new Christmas-themed campaign video depicting your favorite Christmas characters checking into the unemployment line.
