Oh, My Goodness: Jesse Jackson Accused of Sexually Harassing Gay Staffer?

Well, well, well — what have we here? The Rev. Jesse Jackson is vehemently denying allegations from a member of President Obama’s gay rights issues panel, who claims he was fired from the civil rights leader’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition because he is openly gay. Tommy Bennett, who worked for the organization for more than two […]

Shouldn’t A Renowned Constitutional Scholar Know That?

by Smitty Bernstein at Volkh raises the ugly point, emphasis mine: Remember Iran-Contra? The problem for the Reagan Administration there was that Congress banned the president from allocating money to the Contras. The Administration, quite illegally in my view, tried to get around that ban by using funds from arm sales to Iran to subvert […]

Sissypuss Has An Industrial Strength Tinfoil Hat Competition Entry

by The Blog Kitty It all clicked. I get it. The point of the Obama/Trump birther conspiracy. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Hawaii’s most famous son. Jon Meacham, useful idiot par dreck-sellance gives us the clue here: But that’s another story. Little is known of the story of the native-born clause. As reconstructed […]

The Ryan Budget

I’m tempted to call it “The Savage Young Ryan Budget,” but seriously, folks: House Republicans did the smart thing yesterday, and don’t let worry-wart Allahpundit tell you any different. Not a single Democrat voted for it, and DCCC Chairman Steve Israel’s boast that this will help Democrats recapture the House is nonsense. Let the Democrats […]

Vodka Pundit Grievously Insults Famed Omega Theta Pi Bluto Blutarsky

by Smitty Things have gone way too far in the dextrosphere when the POTUS is compared to John Blutarsky: Remember in Animal House, when John Belushi’s character yelled “Food fight!” in the cafeteria, got a good one going, then made himself a quick escape from the ensuing chaos? That’s right — we have John Blutarsky […]

SCOTUS To Decide To Hear VA ObamaCare Suit Today?

by Smitty (h/t Theo Spark) Read the whole thing at the American Spectator: . . .occasionally the justices receive a “petition for certiorari before judgment” asking them to consider the decision of some District Court before it has been reviewed by a Court of Appeals. Friday’s conference schedule includes consideration of one such petition, filed […]

Usefully Dealing With Birtherism

by Smitty It’s really cool of The Donald to go all high dudgeon about the birther nonsense this late in the presidential term. Dealing with it in a useful way, in contrast, is Arizona, whose ‘fool us once’ measure goes to the Senate. As with checking for valid ID at a polling place, checking for […]

The President’s Speech: OK With Pepper

by Smitty There were about five references to sharing in the speech, as I read it on the WSJ. The whole sharing concept, and the generally surreal approach to governance evidenced by the administration, brings to mind none other than Pepper, by the Butthole Surfers: Marky got with Sharon And Sharon got Sharice She was […]
