Yid With Lid Raises A Provocative Question On Senator Ted Stevens

by Smitty There are enough layers of indirection here that the Lid’s causal question is more than a little coy: “Did Justice Dept. Malpractice Kill Senator Ted Stevens?” But the WSJ says: . . .the blame for the 60th [ObamaCare] vote really belongs to the U.S. Justice Department. That’s the day a federal court has […]

Mike Malloy Progressively Throws Tornado Victims Under The Bus

by Smitty Hopefully the victims of the horrible, fluke, freak tornadoes will get a shout out from #OccupyResoluteDesk at his “squelch the Super Tuesday” news conference. May the Lord have mercy on Mike Malloy: I thought that one of the tenets of liberalism was sympathy for victims. Oh wait, there is some fine print: “Except […]

The Left’s Anti-Reproductive Bigotry

by Smitty Pundette links to Lisa Miller in the WaPoo making a typical post-Modern, anti-conservative play: There’s nothing wrong with big families, of course. But the smug fecundity of the Republican field this primary season has me worried. Thou bimbo: if there is nothing wrong, why the worry? Because you’re making a cheap anxiety play, […]

Flip This Question Around

by Smitty Should seniors have the freedom to opt out of Medicare? How about: why does the government get away with coercing anyone into any entitlement? We cannot overemphasize the point: Progressives are false.

Does Keith Olbermann Think It’s OK to Have ‘Consensual’ Sex with 14-Year-Olds?

At least if you’re part of “Occupy Wall Street”: This was just another gentle Occupier with a heart of gold enjoying some hot, consensual man-on-teen action. He totally tapped that 14-year-old ass. High fives all around! That’s actually Jenn Taylor’s summary of Olbermann’s evident attitude: In attempting to “debunk” reports of rapes at Occupy encampments, […]

The Paradox Of Progressive Idiocy, Billy Bragg Edition

by Smitty via @s_dog on Twitter, via Tim Blair: Billy Bragg: “Jingoism is no answer to England’s ebbing power“: Unless and until we throw off our imperial pretensions and begin to relate to our neighbours as equals, joining with them in creating new networks of active devolution and shared sovereignty, we English are in danger […]

Is Dr. Melissa Going Just A Little Easy On The GOP?

by Smitty I submit that Dr. Melissa Clouthier is going a tad too easy on the GOP here: . . .I never see the GOP pondering their really bad choices in politicians that had money but had little charisma, political deftness or policy intelligence. See also: Meg Whitman, Carly Fiorina, and Linda McMahon. And that’s […]

Today’s Metaphor For Progress

by Smitty McPherson Square Park, over at American Glob, has the before/after pictures that show us just how swell Progress can be. I’m looking at the Daily Presidential Tracking Poll, seeing that #OccupyOvalOffice has nearly clawed himself to a single-digit disapproval, and wondering if we’re losing sight of the prize. Between now and November, every […]
