The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Fear and Loathing in Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Waiting on a plane, and the incredible freakout over the Delaware GOP Senate primary caught my attention, so I registered a mild complaint at the American Spectator blog: One of two outcomes is possible: Mike Castle wins on Sept. 14, in which case all this psychotic raving about Christine the Dangerous Right-Wing Catastrophe will […]

At The Patrick Murray Campaign Office Opener Part 3

by Smitty The previous Patrick Murray speech I had the privilege of enjoying was a solid outing, and this effort is better still. It takes significant courage to run against “Gentleman” Jim Moran in the first place, and I’m happy to report that Patrick Murray is packing the gear. One looks forward to attending a […]

Barny Frank And The Right Wing Effort

by Smitty (h/t Gateway Pundit) So what we have is this right wing effort to remove any constructive role for the public sector. If there is anyone who should be granted a doctorate in the PIT, the Progressive Inversion Tongue, it should be Barny Frank, and this phrase alone is an example of why. Let’s […]

How to Write an Anti-Palin Hit Piece

WASILLA, Alaska — I’m about to make the mad dash back to Anchorage, then will be making my way homeward for a couple days of rest before trying to explain to Mrs. Other McCain why I need to go to Delaware. But I thought I might share another point about those “impotent, limp and gutless” reporters: It’s […]

Why The Delaware Primary Is A Win/Win, Barring A Full Scozzafava

by Smitty Reading Dan’s latest thought, and considering Ace’s ideas, it seems that we should consider letting Delaware sort this out and keep in mind the following: Should Castle win the pirmary, he’ll be deeply aware of the Tea Part influence on his destiny. For at least a week. I submit that this may be […]

What Is The Take On The 02Oct ONWT Event? October Surprise Overture?

by Smitty (h/t Clifton at Another Black Conservative) After Beck’s “Restoring Honor” event on 8/28, we have a 9/12 March on DC to anticipate. Then, ye gluttons, there is the www.onenationworkingtogether.org event on 02Oct. Why no linky-love? Look at the top of their What We Stand For page: Yeah, Progressive Inversion Tongue: yeah! PUTTING AMERICA […]

At The Patrick Murray Campaign Office Opener Part 2

by Smitty A few more clips before delving into the Patrick Murray stump. Alexandria City Councilman Frank Fannon has a few remarks. Then I went back to Alicia Hughes to make sure I got the bling. Admittedly, I’m a fan of this lady. Then, since Tito “the Builder” Munoz was in attendance, I corralled him […]

Hey, Who’s the Man?

WASILLA, Alaska — No, not me. As much as I’d like you to think I’m The Man, I’m not The Man. I’m talking about this guy: In case you don’t recognize the boy sitting on his father’s lap, perhaps my latest American Spectator article will help: Rumor is that the Palins are out of town and hope of […]
