Conrad Is A Knob, And We Need To Attack The Lousy Assertions Behind His Ideas

by Smitty Hot Air has a post on Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) idea of implementing a mileage tax. You can’t fault a Progressive, I suppose, for wanting to build on the resounding success that is ObamaCare. By ‘resounding’ I mean ‘utter’, and by ‘success’, I, of course, mean ‘debacle’. But it’s worse […]

Separated At Birth, Plus A Couple Of Generations?

by Smitty I saw this, courtesy of Design Milk: This prompts a bit of thinking about Teddy and The ‘Stache:

The Nyquil Worked

Just to update y’all on the illness I announced Wednesday: I took the NyQuil about 1 p.m. and by 3 p.m. was asleep. I woke up about 11 p.m. and took another dose of NyQuil. Some time Thursday afternoon, I woke up long enough to do one brief post, but was still feeling very woozy, […]

He’s Herman Cain …

. . . and he approved this message: Notice the reference to “Ellen” — that’s Ellen Carmichael, Cain’s communications director.

Three Cheers For Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen

by Smitty Via CNS News: The chair of the U.S House Foreign Affairs Committee said Monday she will introduce legislation that makes U.S. funding for the United Nations contingent on reform. It also calls for the U.S. to withdraw from the Human Rights Council. I understand what Humans are, and Rights. I also know what […]

Movement To Kill The VampireEnd The Federal Reserve Gaining Steam

by Smitty I liked Ron Paul’s book ending the Fed. Looking at the Constitutional notions of protecting liberty and private property, as well as the empirical results of the last century, the Federal Reserve seems to have been a slow motion disaster. Too much power in the hands of an unelected, opaque few, say I. […]

Media Decides to Be the Decider

So, after a couple hours offline, I return to the computer, check Memorandum, and see headlines like these: Palin trails Sheen with independents  Trump torches GOP presidential field  Pence: Boehner will ‘denounce’ Tea Party critics in GOP  What’s going on here is that (a) the liberal media are once again trying to tell the Republican […]
