The Other McCain

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

She Already Fled Communism Twice, and Now Clara Csiong Sees It Coming Again

When we were at the 9/12 rally, Da Tech Guy came up to the backstage area and said, “Stacy, you’ve got to come meet this woman I just interviewed. She’s amazing.” Smitty and I were busy trying to upload photos and video, so I couldn’t get there, but the video of Da Tech Guy’s interview […]

This Is Not a Scandal!

Newsreal contributor Susannah Fleetwood attended BlogCon, where she was kind enough to pose with  sidekick Smitty: Earlier today, Smitty highlighted Mrs. Fleetwood’s latest column and, in an e-mail thanking us for the linkage, she mentioned remembering that someone had taken a photo like this. However, concerned that perhaps Frau Smith might share Mrs. Other McCain’s (unjustified) suspicion that […]

A Short List . . .

. . . of Astoundingly Stupid Things No Conservative Blogger in His Right Mind Would Ever Even Think About Doing: Publish posts conflating “neocons” and “Jews” in such a way as to provoke accusations of anti-Semitism.

Frankly, I was planning to go later, but got an e-mail Sunday from a source who suggested I didn’t want to miss the action Tuesday and so I did something crazy: […]

Da Tech Guy Interviews Mattie Fein

The local newspaper can’t be bothered, but she scores big with New Media: “There are serious issues in the district and the voters deserve the issues on the table.” Read the whole thing. Remember it was Da Tech Guy who loaned me the Famous Fedora of Objectivity, which made another celebrity appearance today: Yeah, Mattie Fein has […]

‘Just One Tweet’: Conservative New Media Get Results in Georgia 4th District Story
