Paul And McCotter Grill Bernanke On Inflation, Which Is Unexpectedly Higher Than Bernanke Will Admit

by Smitty It is blatantly obvious to the most casual observer that Ron Paul’s insistence on honest, tangible cash removes him from consideration for President as much as his foreign policy. Paul is trying to make a serious legal tender argument, and Bernanke glibly deflects the question: The wild, irrationally exuberant Thaddeus McCotter ejaculates almost […]

Sick Of Stimulus

by Smitty Update: the clip was worth the wait: Stacy is in transit to come home as I write this. He mentioned a conference call with Herman Cain this morning, wherein a new project, Sick of Stimulus was touted. In a recent blog post, “Stimulus is killing us” the Herminator said: Why doesn’t economic stimulus […]

$5 Fuel By Mid-March?

by Smitty My per-gallon prices for diesel: Date $/Gal 2/14/12 3.899 2/23/12 4.294 A dumb linear regression shows that I’ll break $5/gallon by mid-March. The good news for #OccupyResoluteDesk is that high energy costs are only the President’s fault in a Republican administration. And why is that evil raaaaacist zombie George Bush doing this to […]

Separated At Birth, Robert Reich Edition

by Smitty It takes a special kind of gasbag to arrive at the conclusion that “Obama Has Handed The Election Over To The Super Rich” What, did #OccupyResoluteDesk somehow disenfranchise us all by playing along with the SuperPAC game? “Good ends don’t justify corrupt means,” whines Reich. Which of Obama’s ends was the good one? […]

Meanwhile, Down At The Intersection Of Orwell And Kabuki. . .

by Smitty Last night I went to a new ‘salon’ (I think it may be a snooty bar or something) called Empire Unplugged, for their inaugural talking head fest on the Federal Reserve. The video is kind of lousy, and still pulling in to Final Cut Pro X for what I hope will be a […]

Ruling Class Overlords Repair To Davos For Cthulhu Worship

by Smitty Protein Wisdom links Breitbart in celebrating the World Economic Forum in Davos. It sounds as though the Commies are realizing that if you subvert capitalism to the point that you destroy it utterly, you’re going to have to come up with a new source of crap with which to flood the world. But […]

Insanity

by Smitty If insanity is when perception does not correlate with reality, then maybe hitting black ice while driving resembles that state. You’re driving along, you see the road, and then, unexpectedly, your tires just quit gripping thereon. Our federal government seems similar, a sad pack of crapflooders alternating between denial and blame, spinning randomly, […]

Rick Santorum Distances Himself From Newt’s Lefty ‘Hit Job’ on Mitt Romney

Newt Gingrich’s “super PAC” has unleashed its 27-minute documentary about Bain Capital, When Mitt Romney Came to Town, which a Daily Kos blogger calls a “hit job” that “you’d expect from a lefty operation.” It’s as if Newt hired Michael Moore. Avowed lefty Steve Benen calls it “devastating”: Desperate to gain some traction in South Carolina, Rick Perry has […]
