The Other McCain

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

Your Monthly Sarah Palin Wink

by Smitty Time says: Palin: “It’s not too late for folks to jump in. Who knows what will happen in the future.” Interview airs Monday at 10 pm ET. This is via Ace, who posits: As far as I know FoxNews hasn’t had this talk with Palin, or, if they did, she clarified her intention […]

Shorter Ace: ‘Bitches Lie’

A grossly unfair oversimplification of Ace’s argument? Sure. But in a multi-candidate Republican primary campaign where everybody’s cutting each other to ribbons, who can complain — if anyone even notices — when I gratuitously play the sexism card? And isn’t Ace calling the lady a liar? Michele Bachmann lives in a strange world. People talk about “moral relativism.” […]

Funniest Thing on the ‘Net Today

And it’s not just this sentence: “Generally women recoil from the power of my Intense Drifter Staredown, but you held firm, unafraid. . . .” You’ve got to read the whole thing, honest.

Ace of Spades Really Hates Ron Paul, Endorses Re-Election of Barack Obama

#tcot @AceOfSpadesHQ So, You’re Still Kinda Butt-Hurt About Rick Perry, Huh?

Look, I’ve just endured my own Disastrous Month of Pain, OK? But I seriously doubt that 78 days from now I’m gonna be grousing bitterly about Gloria Allred and Ginger White.

#OccupyFail at #BlogCon11: What Fun!

For the second consecutive year, Tabitha Hale didn’t think I was important enough to be invited to participate on a panel at BlogCon. Or maybe Tabitha just hates my guts. Either way, she subsequently offered me a “scholarship” to attend BlogCon, a consolation prize I was too proud to accept. Pity is no substitute for respect, and if […]
