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

So, ‘Words Matter’ Does Not Mean
‘Words Affect Matter’?

by Smitty (h/t Weasel Zippers via American Glob) Liz Cheney is clearly the new hotness: Barack Obama epitomizes the challenge of homo bureaucratus. While management skills are indeed skills in their own right (not to accuse BHO of possessing such), they are of the necessary but not sufficient variety. True, leaders delegate to subordinates. Leaders […]

Obama: If You Think I Screwed Up On
the BP Disaster, You’re Just Ignorant

He went to Columbia University and Harvard Law, which means he’s umpteen zillion times smarter than you are: “Those who think that we were either slow in our responses or lacked urgency don’t know the facts. This has been our highest priority since this crisis occurred,” Obama said during a rare news conference in the […]

If You Were Floating In The
Abstract Symbol Space Surrounding
His Head, You Would Know

by Smitty John at Power Line asks “Why Bother?” to the 1,200 National Guard troops deployed to Arizona. These troops will, apparently, filter out all of the drugs and guns coming across the border. Lawyers and money, apparently, not so much. The point of all of this is not to do anything effective. (The deployment, […]

Barney Frank Twofer: AZ Support And Bias Against Djou-ish People

by Smitty (via Lucianne) Barney Frank, in an overt display of pre-djou-dice, put on the following display: Frank walked the hallway of the Speaker’s Lobby off the House floor calling on the media to “do your job” and review Djou’s papers. It was a small bit of payback for the enormous amount of attention some […]

In The Mail: My ‘Retire Jim Moran’ Bumper Sticker

by Smitty Even the Instapundit had to have a ‘first swag’ item. Mine came Tuesday, a righteous little piece of bumper goodness: And retire Jim Moran we must. While I’m 99% proud of my country, one legitimate cause for guilt is the way that Progressive tools like Moran have quite literally pillaged the rest of […]

VIDEO: Les Phillip Swore to Defend Against ‘Enemies, Foreign and Domestic’

Wonder who he has in mind on the domestic front? Here’s the Republican candidate for Congress in Alabama’s Fifth District: Marc Ambinder predicts that this will be the political ad everyone will be talking about this week. The transcript: This is the story of two young men. One fell in with left wing radicals. The […]

Governor Brewer Could Not Be
Reached For Comment
UPDATE: Bubba, Too?

by Smitty American Power reports on Mass. Rep. Michael Moran, rear-ended by an apparently illegal alien. Past the snarky title, let us: Not rejoice in anyone’s misfortune, and Note that drunk driving is a huge part of the case. That said, it will be interesting to watch this “unfortunately undocumented societal victim of Bush-era injustice” […]

Does Alcee Hastings Have A Point?

by Smitty (h/t The Corner) It is an endless source of startlement when listening to the Left, how words suddenly don’t mean what you think they do. Call it linguistic Progress. One example is how the word ‘illegal’ ceased to mean ‘not legal’ in an immigration context. Another is how the ‘Cut’ in YouCut moved […]
