The Other McCain

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

HOLY. FREAKING. CRAP.

Just now got in off the road, returning from Ohio where my wife’s parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. On the way — quite literally writing “on the road,” since the trip was seven hours — I composed a long post that I’ll put up later tonight. But that’s going to have to wait a […]

‘Systematically Ignored’!

A stunning allegation from Dan Collins at The Conservatory: Besides, it’s about me (although it penumbrates Joy, Bruce and Enoch). What I mean to say is, it’s time to expose the sinister cabal of new media people who have conspired to ignore Conservative Commune, among whom I name: VodkaPundit, PJM Chief Exclusionist; Jim Treacherous of […]

Republicans? In California?

For several weeks now, I’ve been hearing rumors that there was something in California called a “Republican Party” with elected officials and stuff. But I dismissed all those rumors as crazy talk, because it has been years and years since any actual Republican has won any important election in California. Somebody told me that Maria […]

‘This Crazy Blogger, Stacy McCain’

Crazy blogger at Baltimore-Washington International Airport, Sept. 13, 2011 Dave Weigel quotes Creepy Joe: Joe McGinniss is no longer surprised at the hate engendered by his new biography, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin. “Did you see this crazy blogger, Stacy McCain, saying he’s starting a legal fund for Todd Palin?” he asks. […]

‘This Neofascist Fantasy’

Dr. Andrew Sullivan, M.D. OB/GYN, esteemed director of the prestigious Tina Brown Center for Advanced Republican Obstetric Investigation, uses the title quote in reference to moi, a “deranged rightist.” My post evidently wasn’t good enough for a Malkin Award nomination, but his comment is at least a welcome reassurance of my sanity. Being called “deranged” […]

That Puts Stacy And Me At +7, Right?

by Smitty Volokh reproduces a study in institutions and public confidence by the AP-National Constitution Center poll, showing that the extreme/no-confidence value for blogs is –39, but the military is +46. I guess we just sum those figures for this blog, since I’m in the military and Stacy’s the marquee blogger. Yeah, new math: yeah.

Joe Fein, in a Fighting Mood

My L.A. friend Joe Fein has been trying for some time to get the California GOP to take online New Media seriously. He’s trying again with “Why 30 Bloggers are Worth More for the CAGOP then One MSNBC.” Joy McCann likes Joe’s message. Let’s hope California Republicans are paying attention. Otherwise, some day soon they […]

‘Move Over, Bloggers!’

One of the glorious triumphs of the blogosphere occurred on the night of Jan. 19, 2010, at the victory celebration in Boston for the Scott Brown campaign. History was being made — a Republican had won Ted Kennedy’s former Senate seat — and bloggers quite literally had front-row seats. Thanks to our friend Ali Akbar, who […]
