The Other McCain

Warning: No Betas Need Apply

At CPAC 2012, Gabby and Christine were digging the manly men. Is Gabby Hoffman the world’s hottest young blogger, or what? Her essay on manliness was not only linked here, but was also linked in the AOSHQ Overnight Thread and even got the coveted Instalanche. Bloggers young and old must envy such precocious success. How many college […]

He’s Not the Jack of Spades

Ace of Spades gets uncomfortable when I praise him too enthusiastically, or maybe he’s just doing that aw-shucks-’tweren’t-nuthin’ humble thing. Being a natural-born extrovert myself, I have no problem with praise, of which I think I get far too little, mainly because people don’t enjoy praising such an obvious egomaniacal showoff.

They have awakened to the hypocrisy of this administration.  But I plan to continue to stay focused on […]

Stephen Green’s Hair Of The Dog

by Smitty George Will owns it at the outset, but the closing Lincoln bit was a nice touch:

This Would Only Matter If It Was, Say, A Ron Paul Campaign Office

by Smitty I, for one, rejoice at the vast strides Barack Obama has made in reducing the number of bogus attacks on campaign offices for insufficient diversity: Original photo. If a GOP contender published that, the media would be on it like libelous edits on NBC. It’s just one more way BHO is winning the […]

Occupation: Blogger

We approach Tax Day, and you know that place on the 1040 form where you’re supposed to write your occupation? Dan Riehl will write “blogger.” Dan’s been full-time since 2007. Anyone who can do it full-time for five years probably deserves some kind of medal. Or hit Dan’s tip jar.
