The Other McCain

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

And Her Name Is ‘Quackenbush’

You need a laugh? I need a laugh. And we are therefore grateful to an erstwhile “rising star” in New York Democratic Party politics: Albany County District Attorney David Soares today acknowledged a longstanding intimate relationship with a junior female staffer whose siblings have been prosecuted on multiple occasions by his office. Soares, 42, said he […]

2012 Is About Barack Obama: This Cannot Be Over-Emphasized

by Smitty Power Line nails it, emphasis mine: What happened to Herman Cain is what the Democrats intend to do to whoever the Republican nominee turns out to be. They know they can’t win a debate on the economy or on President Obama’s record, so they will do everything they can to distract the voters’ […]

Why Can’t Obama?

by Smitty This. Must. Be. The. Question: Click the image to watch: If The Tea Party Can Balance Budget In Four Years, Why Can’t Obama? There are a couple of issues of equal weight today, and maybe the boom gets lowered after the GOP primaries, but, to paraphrase Da Tech Guy, every day the failure […]

Call It ‘DWaStic Measures’

by Smitty Having just completed a study in the corrosive effects of Postmodern thinking, I feel especially equipped to denounce Debbie Wasserman-Schultz as a completely useless sack of nonsense. DNC Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL) says the Republican party is trying to disenfranchise and “suppress” the votes of minorities and other groups in the […]

Q: Can You Tell The Difference Between The World’s Youngest Blogger And The U.S. Attorney General?

by Smitty A: One of them lacks the maturity for public office; the other one is four months old. Consider the WYB’s overly precise exposition of both this administration’s Fast & Furious operation, and Eric Holder’s non-approach to explaining to the American people just what these shenanigans mean: Again, he’s four months old. We can […]

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 […]

Was That Megan McArdle Or Meghan McCain?

by Smitty Nonetheless, I confess, I like Barney Frank. I also think that, whatever his mistakes, he’s pretty knowledgeable about finance. And you need only look at the committee list to see that it could have been so, so much worse. Well, garsh, guys: the leukemia death was way better than straight decapitation. Barney Frank; Maxine […]
