The Other McCain

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

Obama Supports Dog-Killer Vick, Jinxes Philadelphia Eagles vs. Minnesota Vikings

Exactly why the president of the United States felt the need to phone the Eagles’ coach to praise him for giving Michael Vick a second chance, I don’t know. What I do know is that it didn’t help the Eagles: The NFL’s first Tuesday game in 64 years produced a fittingly unusual result as Minnesota […]

Cousins for Cain?

Who is that muscular giant with tattooed arms shaking hands with Herman Cain? That’s my cousin Brian Buchanan, who lives near Atlanta and — last time I talked to him — was working as a nightclub bouncer.

When she asked him if he […]

If the American middle-class adopts more and more the radical-egalitarian worldview of the Left, this cannot be sold as […]
