The Other McCain

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

Candidate Cain Said “I’m Not Supposed To Know Anything About Foreign Policy”, Whereas President Obama Lives It

by Smitty In case the president is unaware, England forms part of Great Britain, which also includes Scotland and Wales, though not Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. There is no such thing as an “English” embassy anywhere in the world, and there hasn’t been one for several centuries. This blog doubles […]

Another Under-Bus-Toss For The DOD?

by Smitty Apparently the ACLU is feeling stretched by the Defense Authorization Bill, emphasis original: The Defense Authorization bill is now on the Senate floor with troubling provisions that would give the President — and all future presidents — the authority to indefinitely imprison people, without charge or trial, both abroad and inside the United […]

Obama Flunks History, Mischaracterizes Herbert Hoover’s Economic Policy

Ed Driscoll called this to my attention: “This competition for new jobs and businesses and middle-class security, that’s the race I know we can win. But you don’t win it by saying every American is on their own. We’re not going to win it if we just hand out more tax cuts to people who […]

Stupor Committee A Study In Farce.
Yet Mitt’s Ad ‘A Deceitful And Dishonest Attack’? Maybe Santorum Can Help

by Smitty Hensarling: Ultimately, the committee did not succeed because we could not bridge the gap between two dramatically competing visions of the role government should play in a free society, the proper purpose and design of the social safety net, and the fundamentals of job creation and economic growth. Well, that is about as […]

President Obama Sends Me E-Mail

Maybe it’s because I’m so influential in the blogosphere (no matter what Tabitha Hale says). Or maybe it’s because I signed up for an e-mail news alert while I was covering the 2008 campaign. Either way, I think you’ll agree that it’s pretty nice of President Obama to take time from his busy schedule to […]

VIDEO: Rep. Allen West Serves Up The Red Meat Clip Of The Year

by Smitty Rep. Allen West summarizes “Bag” Holder’s ignoble career, and politely suggests that even #OccupyResoluteDesk may be complicit in Fast & Furious. Wow. To be a fly on the wall when Barack saw that one. . . via Nice Deb, who has a whole lot more. Update: Daily Pundit is less impressed. In response […]

That’s What I’m Talking About

by Smitty San Diego is an island of American sanity in a sea of blue state idiocy: I’m sure that you don’t get anywhere near the airspace when the POTUS himself is present, but broadcasting just how fed up the American people are with #OccupyResoluteDesk is pure chewing satisfaction. No, there isn’t any way an […]

One Can Nearly Admire The Unmitigated Sack On Display

by Smitty #OccupyResoluteDesk: Congress. . .“must not shirk its responsibilities,” according to a White House readout of the conversation. Seriously. If the intent all along was to punish the Administration’s political foes in particular, and America in general, then the Administration’s actions make sense: Play the brinksmanship game in the Spring of 2011, load the […]
