Baldwin Bird-Dogging Bloomberg?

Posted on | July 4, 2012 | 12 Comments

by Smitty

Noted Barack Obama sycophant Alec Baldwin has been the victim of rumor-mongering by his brother Billy concerning a possible NYC mayoral candidacy.

We’d like to take a moment to peek into a future speech, wherein Alec and his possible SuperPAC, Future American Guidance, take the helm of the Rotten Apple:

By following the rules of Future American Guidance, the world can become a better place; that handles dangerous people with talk, and reasoning; that, is the FAG way. One day you’ll all look at the world us actors created and say, “Wow! Good going, FAG. You really made the world a better place, didn’tcha, FAG?”

N.B.: No cigarettes were harmed in the production of this post.

Update: Twitchy collects some helpy-helper Tweeps. Workin’ hard, tryin’ to put out that smokin’ FAG.

World’s Youngest Blogger: Make 04 July 2013 Even Better

Posted on | July 4, 2012 | 11 Comments

This is my first Fourth of July. I’m too young to vote, so I can’t really do much about he current crisis this November.
Thus, I must wield my power as the Secretary of Cute to influence patriotic Americans to give the country a chance to recover, starting in November. It’s not just the White House, but the Senate, the House, and every State office. My generation needs voters to push back the forces of Progressive, statist slavery and restore liberty.
As that famous political philosopher, Robin Williams, said:

“Politicians are a lot like diapers; they should be changed frequently, and for the same reason.”

Reminder: VA Must Elect George Allen

Via Sissy Willis on Twitter, Quinn Hillyer points out at AmSpec just how wretched an abortion is ObamaDon’tCare. In particular, the roots of the the Senate circumstances go back to 2006:

. . .the Washington Post had to succeed in its unprecedentedly and viciously unfair coverage of the U.S. Senate race in Virginia, both capitalizing on Sen. George Allen’s missteps (he ran a terrible campaign) and skewing the “news” relentlessly against him even when he didn’t make mistakes. Had he not lost by a tiny 8,805-vote margin, there is no way he would have voted for Obamacare, which therefore — cue the refrain — would have failed by one vote. . .even if none of the other, subsequent abominations (as we will discuss) were forestalled.

Read the whole thing, and bookmark it for reference.

Conversely, Kate Obenshain details what a disaster Tim Kaine would prove, if elected:

George Allen for Senate

Tim Kaine is just Barack Obama’s meat puppet. Let Obama and Kaine take their Wayland and Madame act to Vegas, or something.

Good News: Butt-Hurt Is Not Fatal

Posted on | July 4, 2012 | 68 Comments

FROM AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION
You may remember that on June 25 I published a post called “Healing Butt-Hurt: Theory and Practice,” in which I mentioned “the storm of infighting and recriminations among bloggers over the Kimberlin saga, an unfortunate development that has been a distraction and an emotional drain for the past several weeks.”

One of the things I’d done on June 24 — the day before I published that post — was to send an e-mail to Seth “Socrates” Allen, the first guy to get sued by Brett Kimberlin. Some of the people involved in trying to fight back against Kimberlin said they’d been getting nothing but hostility from Seth, which made no sense to me at all.

So I sent Seth an e-mail explaining that his attitude seemed to me a bad idea, and said that I had discarded (at least for the duration of this fight) my own personal grudges:

Let me stress an important point here: Until I got into this thing a month ago, I had been at odds with Patterico going back to 2009, for reasons it is not necessary to describe now. I had also experienced a conflict with Aaron, and furthermore had not been much of a fan of Lee Stranahan. (I had some quarrel with Lee’s blogging about WeinerGate.)
Given the gravity of the situation — the importance of this story — I have nonetheless resolved to put aside all personal considerations, welcoming every ally without regard to any previous disagreement. In fact, I’ve repeatedly found myself compelled to referee disputes among some of these allies who seem more eager to settle grudges between themselves than to keep up the fight against Kimberlin & Co.
In light of my own experiences, then, I am mystified to see you publicly quarreling with potential allies. Whatever wrongs you have previously suffered from these would-be allies, or whatever criticisms you have of other people’s involvement in this matter, by any measure would seem minor and irrelevant, in comparison to the great good that could be achieved if we were all cooperating.

So anyway, Seth decided Tuesday it would be a good idea to publish that e-mail with the title, “Robert Stacy McCain Exposed as Card Carrying Member of the Breitbart Cult.” Exactly how offering friendly advice qualifes as something that must be “exposed,” I don’t know.

But there are a lot of things I don’t know, and it’s late at night, so I’m too tired to explain everything I meant to explain here. The “storm of infighting and recriminations” continues unabated, and earlier this week I accidentally contributed to it myself. Mea culpa.

I’ll try to rectify my errors tomorrow or maybe Thursday, if I live that long. I just got word tonight that Ray Minner died.

You probably didn’t know Ray Minner, but he was a good man, and his daughter taught high school English to two of my children. Death has a way of putting other bummers in perspective.

Soldier’s Angels: Anybody Want To Get Wrecked In A Game Of Cribbage?

Posted on | July 3, 2012 | 10 Comments

by Smitty

Soldier’s Angels is a fine charity. Since I’m not traipsing about the Hindu Kush, dressed like a modern centurion, sweating my hoo-hah off this year, it seems like time to get with the program.

This blog would like to do something outlandish, unusual, and totally Navy. I will crush all comers with a ferocity that would make Conan the Barbarian look like he’s gearing up for Bronycon by comparison. Here’s how the challenge works:

Stand by to get beat. In particular, I’d like to call out that noxious knuckle-dragger, The Troglopundit. That guy just ain’t packin’ the gear.
