I Wonder If Gergen Realizes That Was The Election

by Smitty (h/t American Glob) Brown was obviously laying in wait for Gergen to serve that up so he could crush it like so many dynastic dreams: Of course, we’re talking about Massachusetts, so they could still vote Democrat. Vote Brown, you chowderheads. For Sam Adams, and the thought of why this country was founded. […]

Republican John Colbert on ‘Congressional Terrorism’ in California

The GOP candidate challenging Rep. Adam Schiff in CA29 is profiled in my latest article for The American Spectator: “If it was politics as usual right now, Adam Schiff would be untouchable,” Colbert said in a brief interview after Saturday’s event. Schiff is vulnerable because of his unstinting support of the Democratic leadership’s policy agenda. […]

We Were Nearly Tied For Top Spot!

by Smitty Around these parts, when we talk about “the VP,” we don’t mean Joe Biden. We mean the Vodka Pundit. At his The Week in Blogs show on PJTV (which see, subscribe, enjoy) Stacy was featured in the number two slot. Green, wisely, kept my face out of the clip. Looking forward to seeing […]

Rule 5 Sunday

by Smitty So I’ve been slow in starting this post, and may run out of energy before the Rule 5 folder is fully exhausted. That may lead to a major update tomorrow afternoon/evening.

We Need a Word

by Smitty We need a word for that special sort of inspiration found when a blog that had seemingly fallen off the radar comes back with a pitch-perfect, palate cleansing blast of righteousness (potty mouth tidied): Did I tell you guys I had to switch jobs again? Yeah, the powers that be decided my career […]

Fabulous McCain Journalism Refreshes Alabama

by Smitty Stacy’s still off getting his Gonzo on. I’ve been minding the shop, in my Geekzo fashion. This involved raising Stacy’s blood pressure significantly on at least one occasion, but I think that the peace offerings that await his return may prove sufficient. Also, for the Paco’s and Belvederes who aren’t in this yet, […]

The View Out My Window

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. No, I’m not going the Sully route, and I’m too lazy to upload a photo, but the view out my window tonight is beautiful. It’s a clear night, about 70 degrees outside, and the lights of Los Angeles stretch off in the distance as far as the eye can see. Tuesday night, I crashed […]
