Obama Didn’t Raise Spending. In Other News, “Black” is Now Being Referred to as “White”

Rex Nutting, writing for Marketwatch, posits that the Emperor’s clothes are in fact Fabulous and we are only pretending not to see them: What people forget (or never knew) is that the first year of every presidential term starts with a budget approved by the previous administration and Congress. The president only begins to shape… Read More Obama Didn’t Raise Spending. In Other News, “Black” is Now Being Referred to as “White”

This Brett Kimberlin Guy Seems Not to Want to Be Disturbed

What was it, a week ago, that poor Stacy McCain started posting about Brett Kimberlin? And now he’s running from his home. I don’t pretend to understand what’s going on here, but if Kimberlin is on the up-and-up, a reformed terrorist, then McCain asking, “hey, what is this guy up to?” shouldn’t be cause for… Read More This Brett Kimberlin Guy Seems Not to Want to Be Disturbed

That Flushing Sound You Hear is the Government’s Legitimacy….

They are now offering plea deals for movie rights. This is what happens when he state has no limits on its sphere of action. It can and will do everything.

Lileks on Drugs

May be even funnier than normal Lileks, be such a thing concievable. You get the dryness with a hint of frenzy. Went downstairs and turned on the TV and was amused to see I’d left off watching “They Live,” which is The Matrix except with a wrestler. Heh. But that’s on OTC pain pills. Wait… Read More Lileks on Drugs

The Government Accouting Office: For When You Can’t Just Say “A Crap-Load”

GAO: Recoverable Oil in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming ‘About Equal to Entire World’s Proven Oil Reserves’ Could be worth $60 trillion. So much for “Peak Oil”. Eventually, someone’s going to start wondering why, if this is true, we’re still paying $3.50 a gallon.

Roxanne de Luca Explains That Whole “Sex Averse Succubus” Thing…

… to Stacy McCain’s complete satsifaction. As much fun as it is to fisk Traister over her use of “sex-averse succubus,” is that not a perfect description of lefty feminism? Traister brags about Sandra Fluke’s robust bedroom life – thus, “succubus” would be somewhat apt – but Traister also believes that Justice Clarence Thomas terrorised… Read More Roxanne de Luca Explains That Whole “Sex Averse Succubus” Thing…

Why Family Guy Sucks at Political Humor

Ladd Ehlinger does what many righties have done over the years with regards to Family Guy, which is get nice and pissed at it and then banish it from his DVR. Which is a perfectly sane and sensible thing to do. But Ladd seems to sound surprised at the crudity of McFarlane’s political satire (it… Read More Why Family Guy Sucks at Political Humor

Mitt Romney’s Bully Story Comes Apart Like Cheap Taffy

This is all over the place, but Other McCain has the best aggregation. And being an old newsman, he jumps all over the Dead Man’s Quote trick like a lion on a wildebeest: FIRING OFFENSE, period. By God, you can’t do that in journalism: You cannot base a key element of a story — in… Read More Mitt Romney’s Bully Story Comes Apart Like Cheap Taffy

Mitt Romney Bullied a Kid in High School. Proggies Rejoice.

Weak sauce, as my wife’s chef cousin would put it. And Mitt quickly offered a “I don’t recall but I’m sorry if anything I did went too far,” semi-apology. But that hasn’t stopped every Democrat from treating this as a sign of his total unfitness for public office. The “he’s still a bully — against… Read More Mitt Romney Bullied a Kid in High School.
