If There Was Ever A Time To Avoid Triumphalism. . .

by Smitty Even Allahpundit sounds chipper about the polling. Look, people: The election is weeks away yet. The Tea Party is always in danger of being hoisted on its own retards* (the GOP). Even in the case of a GOP win, the prize is a stinking debt diaper. Expect Sir Golf-a-lot to do exactly that, […]

Ron Miller Question And Answer Part 2

by Smitty Last Wednesday, I took in the Ron Miller party for “Sellout”. The man has a great, pro-American story, and now we’re enjoying the Q&A portion of the evening. The last clip is going to hurt a few people in their business model. Growing up in an apolitical family An interestig Condi Rice fact. […]

Toomey GOP Weekly Address: C+

by Smitty Toomey speaks clearly and plainly. As a relative new guy, he’s beholden to the party line: Democrats are irresponsible. The complaint seems more one of style than substance, however. I can’t foresee any long-term improvement until a more Tea Party attitude of limited, Constitutional, Federalist government takes hold. This Democrat-lite talk is rather […]

California Reporter to Republican Candidate: ‘We’re Not Interested’

A reporter for the Torrance (Calif.) Daily Breeze sent an e-mail to a political consultant saying the newspaper is “not interested” in covering Republican candidate Mattie Fein, who is challenging Democratic Rep. Jane Harman in California’s 36th District. In the e-mail sent Wednesday (see text below), Daily Breeze reporter Nick Green told consultant John S. […]

Ron Miller Question And Answer Part 1

by Smitty Previously, we enjoyed Ron Miller’s prepared remarks. Fine stuff. However, in my opinion, Ron hits his stride as he fields questions from the audience. All of the questions and answers are great, but if you’ve time, the first one offers greater philosophical insight. The rest are also good but focus more on current […]

The Ron Miller Book Party For ‘Sellout’

by Smitty This is the first of several posts in support of Ron Miller’s book, Sellout. These are the prepared remarks, which reveal the kind of man you want for a neighbor: positive, patriotic, and Godly. The initial clip, featuring thank yous and credits is here, but let me start you a minute into Ron’s […]

Boy Quayle, Republican Party Animal?

TheDirty.com says the Arizona congressional candidate wrote for the site under the porn-star name “Brock Landers” and adds: We met in Tahoe at a CBS celebrity golf tournament where we partied until 6 AM. How could you forget the crazy hooker? Here’s video of a local TV news report on the story: Quayle at first denied to […]

It’s Time To Call The Bluff On Progressivism

by Smitty Megan McArdle offers an outstanding play-by-play of the dust-up between Wisconsin’s Wonkish Wunderkind and Krugman. Krugman is “that fool on television getting payed to play the fool”, and we all get that, including Krugman. The economic models are slightly better than global warming models, I can opine with as much legitimacy as anyone […]
