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

Flaky Markup: Javelins Revealing Animosity?

by Smitty So, if there are no accidents in Chicago politics, are the peek-a-boo revelations in the Blagojevich investigation pointing at the POTUS An unprecedented screw-up of beyond ‘blame Bush’ badness? A means of controlling the news cycle away, a re-directing attention away from even stupider activities? An indication that internal discipline is rapidly eroding […]

Fabulous Massachusetts Juggernaut Rides Again

by Smitty Fishersville Mike suggests we honor of Da Tech Guy, whose irrepressible enthusiasm found him making a rather unplanned conquest of the South. He hasn’t yet blogged about the response from Da Tech Wife, but the fact he’s still capable of blogging is, itself, encouraging. The Lads Doth Not Protest Enough, Methinks How Stacy […]

If You’ve Linked Us The Last Couple Of Days. . .

Frantic Medical Jujitsu Reinforces Asshattery

by Smitty This week’s FMJRA salutes the healthcare summit. One could call BHO’s efforts Quixotic, except that Don Quixote was sort of a good guy, and doesn’t deserve the abuse. We still have some FMJRA echos from CPAC to cover, so, without further distraction…
