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

GIVE US RYAN!

This is an emergency post. Driving back from the AFP Defending the Dream Summit in D.C., I pulled off the freeway and logged on at a Burger King to get this online as quickly as possible: Mitt Romney must choose Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his vice-presidential nominee, period. There is no time now to fully […]

‘Gentleman’ Jim Moran, VA-8, Clues The World In On A Point His Constituents Suspected, Yet Was Better Unstated

by Smitty No time for a transcript on this gem: What’s fascinating about Moran’s remark is that it means Moran is a co-member of the No-Junk Brotherhood with Harry Reid. Maybe Reid’s inability to secure an NRA endorsement in 2010 is why Moran is allowed to mumble against them in public. Patrick Murray for Congress […]

Mark Oxner Ad: Pure Awesome. Or Is That Orwellian Fright?

by Smitty This is both a political ad against Alan Grayson, and a sobering vignette that holds true for the whole country: Mark Oxner for Congress Alan Grayson’s reasonable future job is Barack Obama’s caddy

Really shameful. politi.co/OYZXzs — Lachlan Markay (@LachlanMarkay) July 11, […]

Separated At Birth: Beckel Boy / Tommy Boy Edition

by Smitty Oh, the vagaries of fate! How the one can grow up with at least a modicum of Falstaffian humor, whereas the other couldn’t crack a joke if it was written on an eggshell and he sat on it. Take a look, courtesy of AmericanInfidel on Twitter, at Beckel Boy trying to say something, […]

McCotter Is McGone?

by Smitty Whoa. The Blaze reports that one of the few semi-real people inside the beltway has ejected: After nearly 26 years in elected office, this past nightmarish month and a half have, for the first time, severed the necessary harmony between the needs of my constituency and of my family. As this harmony is […]

Baldwin Bird-Dogging Bloomberg?

by Smitty Noted Barack Obama sycophant Alec Baldwin has been the victim of rumor-mongering by his brother Billy concerning a possible NYC mayoral candidacy.
