‘USA! USA! USA!’ (I’m Just Saying That Because It Bothers Liberals So Much)

It is unfortunately predictable that the success of the U.S. effort that killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan would result in finger-pointing, one-upsmanship and needless politicization. For example, Nate Silver at the New York Times: To state the obvious, this is good news for Barack Obama’s re-election campaign. I can’t imagine a single, atomized piece […]

Obligatory Osama Post

by Smitty Expressed in image form, I’m weighing in somewhere around here: One suspects that this is The Real Deal. The political cost of Type II error, which would come in the form of a valid “Neener, neener, neener” tape from bin Laden, would be in the catastrophic range. This is good news, obviously. Let […]

Birth Certificate Proves Ace of Spades Was Born on the Forest Moon of Endor

Some Birthers are stubbornly insisting that the birth certificate released this past week was a forgery. Ace slaps one around for our amusement: I have learned two uncontestable facts from the Birth Certificate Conspiracy Theory Saga: 1. There is a sucker born every minute. 2. Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August […]

Think Right-Wingers Started ‘Birther’ Rumors? Nope: Clinton Supporters!

Clay Waters at Newsbusters explains “the rumor that Obama was not a U.S. citizen was initially spread in April 2008 by a group of Hillary Clinton supporters,” which is something to keep in mind the next time someone claims “raaaaacism” is the besetting sin of Republicans. The media often promote all manner of myths that […]

George Soros: Forget About Adam Smith; My Invisible Pimp Hand Is Strong

by Smitty (via George Scoville) Via the BlogCon email list, Scoville pointed to a George Soros column Politico. First, it’s a brief article. At just under 1,500 words, there is no way to shoehorn complex ideas into a small space. Nevertheless, it is revealing, and you should read the whole thing. Soros gives us some […]

None Dare Call It ‘Stagflation’

Economic growth in the first quarter slowed to an anemic 1.8% annual rate, which isn’t the only bad news, as Larry Kudlow explained on Twitter: 1.8% growth, 8.8% unemployment,3.8% inflation spells stagflation. It’s as if we have taken a long round-trip back to 1979. We are not surprised that a Marist poll shows approval for […]

Obama: ‘Too Smart By Half’?

by Smitty Ace of Spades has already run roughshod over this, but I’ve got a point to add. Dana Milbank (“There’s too much going on in the poor guy’s head”) and David Brooks (“Obama’s just too complex a man with multiple identities, each true and real”) have beclowned themselves at length, and I suspect it’s […]
