Would that more people in leadership positions, especially political positions, would take Nathan Wurtzel’s Twitter advice by way of one of the best televisions shows ever to air, Sports Night. @RennaW If you’re dumb, surround yourself with smart people. If you’re smart, surround yourself with smart people who disagree with you.Tue May 17 18:36:52 via [...]
If you hear a deafening “BOI-OI-OING” coming from every point in the known universe at the same time, please don’t worry. It’s just our reality rebounding from the weight of the irony former President Bill Clinton dumped into it on Friday. Bill Clinton doesn’t like all the misinformation and rumors floating on the Internet. And [...]
I hope very much that Episode 93 ends up in the hands of a few highly-placed members of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy, because I said a few things they need to hear. The whole issue of political new media and its woeful lack of funding by folks who have no problems slinging money by the [...]
I’m going to nominate this Kurt Schlichter masterpiece as an early contender for Quote of the Week. You need to not only annoy stupid people, but to develop a taste for it. Otherwise, you’ll be roadkill. The “stupid people” of whom he speaks are the legion of addle-minded progressives who swarm the various social media [...]
All day I’ve had stories cross my RSS Reader about last night’s GOP candidates’ debate in South Carolina and just about every one of them could be headlined “Herman Cain Mysteriously Wins Debate With Mysterious Powers of Mystery. Also, He Can’t Win Anything.” With each story, I’ve gotten more and more irritated at how quickly [...]
If I hadn’t seen this at The Hill, I would have sworn it came straight from The Onion. The Obama administration has floated a transportation authorization bill that would require the study and implementation of a plan to tax automobile drivers based on how many miles they drive. The plan is a part of the [...]
Fox News is hosting a debate of erstwhile Republican candidates in South Carolina tomorrow and my favorite, Herman Cain, will be there. Joining him will be Tim Pawlenty, Ron Paul, Gary Johnson, and Rick Santorum — admittedly not the crop of front-runners Fox had anticipated when they scheduled this debate, but that’s what you get [...]
I’ve never heard of Rep. Mike Rogers, Republican Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, but I hope the next time I see his name in print it’s because he resigned his position. Obviously, he is not qualified to sit on any committee with the word “intelligence” anywhere in its title or mission. Republican House Intelligence [...]
I agree with Stephen Green’s assessment of Sunday night’s Abbottabad raid in every detail. His second point, especially, sums up my delighted surprise. The second surprise? That President Obama sent in SEAL Team Six instead of jets, a UAV, or a cruise missile. Obama usually prefers his wars a little more antiseptic, but he made [...]
Well, it certainly didn’t take long last night for a number of notable progressives to turn what should have been a moment of unifying national triumph into a left-wing partisan snark-off. I gleaned a few of the more egregious comments from some of the brighter lights of the left-wing commentariat as they posted them on [...]
