Pat Condell Offering Simple, Sad Truth

by Smitty A pitch-perfect delivery, via Da Tech Guy. UPDATE (RSM): The strongest sentence is when Condell says of the Palestinian leaders, “They don’t want peace, they want victory, and the won’t be happy until Israel is wiped from the map.” Palestinian nationalism is a toxic legacy of an era young people don’t remember and […]

Is #PerryFail the Hot New #tcot Hashtag?

Rick Perry is already in a hole over his immigration policy, but he keeps on digging: “Are we going to kick these children over to the curb and say you cannot have access to college? Because the fact of the matter is there’s no way they could pay the out-of-state tuition.” Once more, Allahpundit wields […]

BREAKING: AL-QAEDA LEADER ANWAR AL-AWLAKI KILLED IN YEMEN ‘FACEBOOK FRIEND FROM HELL’

Like Peaches & Herb

Smitty and I were re-united today at Baltimore-Washington International Airport when our hero returned from Afghanistan to buy me a beer. Well, he returned for other reasons, but buying me a beer was at the top of the to-do list. Of course, there were others there to greet the Conquerer of the Afghan Seas. Itty-Bitty […]

Arguably The Most Precision Bus Toss Since Bismarck

by Smitty I read Showalter’s tome The Wars of German Unification for a War College class: Taken together, three wars served to unify Germany and fundamentally altered the balance of power in 19th-century Europe: the Schleswig-Holstein conflict of 1864; the “Six Weeks’ War” of 1866; and the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71. They marked the establishment […]

Daniel Hannan, Doors Fan

by Smitty “This is the end,” says Hannan, in the face of a 98% likelihood of Greek default in the bong* markets. That calls for Morrison: And then, Ace thinks that America is going to bail out Europe? That had better occur before the end of this administration, then; the likelihood of an opportunity for […]

Goldman Sees The Image Of A Piece Of Toast In Egypt

by Smitty David P. Goldman looks at Egypt and has an ugly conclusion: The result, I predict, will be a humanitarian catastrophe that makes Somalia look like a picnic. It’s not surprising that the Egyptian mob might attack the Israeli embassy. The Egyptian street has nothing to do but rise up against perceived oppressors, because […]
