‘Gentleman’ Jim Moran: “Naaah, VA-8 Residents Don’t Need A Vote”
by Smitty
Via Patrick Murray, we have this tidbit about ‘Gentleman’ Jim, always looking out for Virginianshimself:
Jim Moran said Northern Virginia was more reflective of the D.C. metro area than the rest of the state.
“We’d all be better off if they took the Virginia and Maryland suburbs and made them part of the district,” he said. “But that’s not going to happen, so we’re dependent on what happens in Richmond.”
So, thanks, Jim. In a twisted sense, Moran is arguably correct: VA-8 residents could be better off grouped in a place entirely without Congressional representation than with Moran providing serial embarrassment. The ironic historical angle on this is that Alexandria, Virginia actually was a part of the District until 1847.
I’ve got a splendid idea: let’s give Jim Moran to the District, and remove a sad little stain from the fabric of Virginia.

Watching Navy ensure that Army’s timepiece has immaculate works with The World’s Youngest Blogger
(i.e. Army’s clock was cleaned, 27-21, for the 10th straight year, ouch), a few things stuck out:
- #OccupyResoluteDesk was there, in close proximity to a Navy Jack held by a couple of Mids. That’s likely closer than BHO has been to any Gadsden flag held by Tea Partiers. Yet the exceptional American spirit in the traditional Navy Jack is the very same. Own it!
- Ten years? Ouch! I thought it was going to be a big deal when Navy was the first to 50 victories in the series.
- This game in particular, and college sports in general, are more fun, due to the lack of financial incentives for the players. I can hardly bear watching the overpaid prima donnas of the NFL. Copious exceptions to that generalization exist, yet there it is.
- Sadly, Steve Burri’s PhotoShop skills don’t extend to pasting a winning team on the field for Army.
The World’s Youngest Blogger, at 4.5 months, is teaching me a lot about life. Also: teething, amidst loud, angry shrieks. Especially when he is feeding.
This struck me as a metaphor for the country. Hunger, for food or success, is a phenomenal motivator, no matter how old you are. Yet Progressivism has reduced Americans to an infantile state, via entitlements, that swaddle the teeth like gums in their hatred of competition and capitalism. The #Occupiers are probably the nadir of this devolution to infantilism. So you’re starving, and you really need to eat something, but restoring proper dental facilities means PAIN! Progressivism wants to weaken people to the point that the Nanny State feeding tube is all that will keep them ‘fairly’ alive.
Teething our way through the gummed up entitlement mess is going to hurt. We’re hungry, though. Hungry for liberty, for the chance to have effort receive just reward. And yet these Progressives are going to continue to fear-monger, demagogue the 1%, slaughter legions of strawmen, systemically queer the economic data, and drive generational warfare, rather than just let the country go through a natural process of teething, and move on to adult food.
The worst aspect of Progressivism is paying for the slippery slope to economic feebleness involves taking money from those not yet born. The American Revolution was, inter alia, driven by a hatred of taxation without representation. The 18th century case was more about the distance from London to North America. As our Federal government has taken on the odiousness of the 18th century English Parliament, DC has taken to stealing across time from persons unborn.
Just remember: such stunts are only bad when conservatives do it.
Q: Can You Tell The Difference Between The World’s Youngest Blogger And The U.S. Attorney General?
by Smitty
A: One of them lacks the maturity for public office; the other one is four months old.
Consider the WYB’s overly precise exposition of both this administration’s Fast & Furious operation, and Eric Holder’s non-approach to explaining to the American people just what these shenanigans mean:
Again, he’s four months old. We can expect, over time, that the WYB will do a better job of conveying the bigger picture of what is going on, without so slavishly reproducing the infantile mewlings of Eric Holder:
Embattled Attorney General Eric Holder today demanded The Daily Caller stop publishing articles about the growing calls in Congress for his resignation because of the failed Operation Fast and Furious gun-walking program.
As Holder’s aide was escorting the attorney general offstage following his remarks Tuesday afternoon at the White House, a Daily Caller reporter introduced himself and shook Holder’s hand. The reporter asked him for a response to the growing chorus of federal legislators demanding his resignation.
Holder stepped towards the exit, then turned around, stepped back toward the reporter, and sternly said, “You guys need to — you need to stop this. It’s not an organic thing that’s just happening. You guys are behind it.”
Holder then walked offstage without answering TheDC’s request for comment about calls for his resignation.

Boy, did I get beat with the Life Imitates Art stick. Standing there next to the telly, holding the World’s Youngest Blogger, when Up All Night comes on.
The two fellas are down at the playground, discussing how their sex lives are going. Will Forte, on the right, delivers the utterly devastating post title line. I will leave to your imagination what I happened to be wearing at the moment.
For his part though, Tim Pawlenty took it as gracefully as an Iowa straw poll. Glad his acting career picked up after dropping out of the Presidential race.
Three and a half months is not too young to start explaining these brutal facts of life to the World’s Youngest Blogger. He really likes standing at this young age. Life will beat him down: oh yes, it will.
