The Other McCain

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

Nap-Time News

OK, this afternoon I had a 45-minute phone interview with Andrew Breitbart, for a long article I’m writing for an upcoming print edition of The American Spectator. This means it’s time to . . . procrastinate. And I just ate a foot-long turkey sub sandwich for lunch and now the tryptophan is kicking in, so I’m […]

Religiosity In POTUS Candidates

by Smitty In the midst of the political scrum, one behavior pattern exhibited on the left and the right is the exhuming of religious for use in finger pointing.

Panic at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

Steve Bartin at Newsalert tipped me to this Reuters story by economic analyst James Pethokoukis: Last night in a new report, Democrat-friendly Goldman Sachs dropped an economic bomb on President Obama’s chances for reelection . . . “Unexpectedly,” I’m sure.

Those Meddling Neo-Cons Again!

Because I voted for Libertarian Bob Barr in 2008, I can’t use Instapundit’s signature “They told me if I voted for John McCain” riff, but would someone please tell me how the U.S. stance toward the Libyan rebels is less meddlesome than the Bush-Cheney regime-change policy in Iraq? ISTANBUL — The United States formally recognized […]

Begala On CNN Debating Fleischer

by Smitty Apparently, Michelle Bachmann or her husband has deviated from Correct Thought in some way. I think it may have to do with whether it’s OK to put the pee-pee in the poo-poo, but I’m not sure. Begala has characterized the Bachmann’s ideas as a “crackpot, bigoted theory” more times than someone manning an […]

VIDEO: Teen Bride Courtney Stodden Says, ‘God Blessed Me With My Soulmate’

You are free to criticize the 16-year-old singer for her marriage to 51-year-old Doug Hutchison, but she says you need to take your argument to The Man Upstairs: ‘I was a virgin,’ said Courtney. ‘I knew that if I kept that, I would really be blessed with a beautiful gift. And God did. He blessed […]
