Victimhood as Merit: Wendy Davis Claimed ‘Mental Health’ Issues in Lawsuit

Glenn Close in ‘Fatal Attraction’: Crazier than Wendy Davis? Perhaps. In 1996, Wendy Davis lost a city council election in Fort Worth, Texas, and filed an utterly ridiculous lawsuit claiming she had been defamed by the local newspaper. (Trust me on this: I’ve recently become an expert on utterly ridiculous defamation lawsuits.) One of the […]

Dougherty’s Law and the Blame Game: The Truth About Cuccinelli’s Loss

In 2006, Michael Brendan Dougherty described the habitual lament of digruntled Republicans: “If it were more like me, the Republican Party would be better off. It’s failing because it’s like you.” Whenever Republicans lose, we are forced to witness the ugly spectacle of this sectarian internecine blame game re-enacted, a tradition that dates back at […]

When Virginia Rubs The Lotion On Its Skin, The Victim Can Blame Itself

by Smitty UPDATE: Mis-attribution fixed. Sorry, Adjoran. Blame Robert Sarvis. 🙂 Stacy put about the best possible spin on matters last night.

Vichy GOP Irritates Dan Riehl. Unwise.

by Smitty Over at Breitbart, “Did the NRSC’s Josh Holmes Just Cost Mitch McConnell His Primary?” Sorry, Mitch. I honestly had considered using my little platform here to try and encourage friends and fans to give you a pass, while shifting more time and money over to taking out Landrieu in LA. Thanks to your […]

@TedCruz At Heritage On Bond v. U.S.; Slate‘s Eric Posner Hardest Hit

by Smitty Ted buzzes Heritage to talk about Bond v. United States, and manages to piledrive Eric Posner’s shrill objections: Cruz is a treasure. He offers simple, lucid arguments. Cruz says more cogent, intellectually stimulating things in 43 minutes of video than #OccupyResoluteDesk has offered in 5 miserable years. I want to see Ted Cruz […]

Texas Appeals Court: It’s OK to Talk Dirty to Kids, Because … Shakespeare!

Apparently, the Court sees no distinction between Shakespeare, a Miley Cyrus video and obscene text messages: Talking dirty to minors, just like Miley Cyrus “twerking” on MTV or Janet Jackson having a “wardrobe malfunction” during prime time, is constitutionally protected free speech, the highest criminal court in Texas ruled Wednesday.
