The Other McCain

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

Let’s Talk About Sex, Professor

Professor Glenn Reynolds talks a lot about sex, but he’s actually thinking about politics: I’m not much of a Santorum fan — to me, he seems like Mike Huckabee without the charm or political talent — but it’s hard not to notice the narrative jiu-jitsu here. The “narrative jiu-jitsu” involves something I explained yesterday: It is actually […]

Got Your Back, Ali Akbar

Maybe you don’t know Ali Akbar, but he is one of the most effective New Media operatives in the conservative movement. Along with Melissa Clouthier, Ali was a driving force behind Blog Bash. Love him, hate him, it doesn’t matter. The guy makes things happen, and when there’s a fight online, you want him on […]

SooperMexican: Dana Milbank Apologist?

by Smitty Did I type apologist? I meant adversary. First day, new fingers. SooperMexican is having none of Milbank’s critique of the GOP’s ‘insufficient’ pandering of the Latino vote (emphasis original, epithets ironic, as only conservative white males are capable of raaaaacism): Today leftist halfwit and pasty white gringo Dana Milbank wrote a column decrying […]

Who Wants to See Tina Korbe’s Thighs?

Santorum Conquers the World?

When I wrote about “Santorum’s Second Surge” Monday, there were not yet any poll numbers available to substantiate my perception that he had scored a critical breakthrough with last Tuesday’s hat-trick triple win over Mitt Romney. Now, as Tina Korbe says, “Good news just keeps coming for former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum” — and not merely because […]

Obscure Musical Allusion Blog Post Title Sweepstakes: Joy Division, for the Win!

“It’s like being assigned to cover a psychotic breakdown, so that the challenge as a journalist is to report accurately all the paranoid gibberish, the bizarre hallucinations and delusions of grandeur.” — Robert Stacy McCain, Jan. 11, 2012 “But there is no point in haggling any longer with this. The time has come to get […]

They Told Me If I Voted McCain That Clueless Gits Would Run Amok, And They Were Right!

by Smitty Via The Blaze, #OccupyResoluteDesk is all about the excuses:Via The Lonely Conservative, after three years of this goat rope, Obama’s losers still mis-underestimated the deficit by 4/5 of a trillion dollars. Sure makes me glad that Barack successfully kept Sarah Palin away from levers of power.
