Light My Fire, Or,
My Political Funeral Pyre

by Smitty You know that it would be untrue, You know that I would be a liar, If I was to say to you, I’ve only got 218 blatantly un-American pieces of work that I desperately need to retire. . . That last line seems to be just a bit short. Meanwhile, the OCTOPUS (Ol’ […]

Fred Thompson On Bart Stupak

by Smitty Fred Thompson has been making few noises of late, alas. But on the Stupak decision to retire, Fred’s take recalls an old Smith family saying: If you’re looking for sympathy, it’s in the dictionary between scatological and syphilis. I grew up in the Northwest, where nuance is when your uncles marry.

Sarah Palin’s Speech In New Orleans

by Smitty (h/t Gateway Pundit) Sarah’s speech is a point-for-point flogging of the Administration. The folksy delivery will cause lefty heads near you to ‘splode, to keep the volume low.
