The Other McCain

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

Another Kooky Conspiracy Theorist

Glenn Beck won’t back down. On second thought, Bill Kristol’s right. Mark Levin’s wrong. We’ve got to purge these hysterical extremist wackos or else they might take over the entire Republican Party! “The communist plan for Hollywood was remarkably simple. It was merely to take over the motion picture business . . . [as] a […]

Hey, Remember That Crazy Conspiracy Theory Glenn Beck Was Talking About?

According to every Serious Foreign Policy Pundit, it’s absolutely insane for Beck to assert that the Left and the Islamists are in alliance to bring revolution to the Middle East. However, as Donald Douglas points out, that’s what the Left is telling us: The neo-Stalinist ANSWER homepage has the announcement, “Emergency demonstrations: Stop all U.S. […]

Glenn Beck Wants You to Threaten Violence Against Harmless Academics

That’s what liberals have been claiming. The Nation published several nasty e-mails professor Frances Fox Piven received because she has become “the target of a relentless campaign to demonize her.” This accusation got repeated in a New York Times story with a scary headline: Spotlight From Glenn Beck Brings a CUNY Professor Threats And that leads […]

Did somebody say “surprise”? Yes! Which can […]

Malkin and Coulter Underrated?

Conservative Home, a new Web site run by people you never heard of, has published the results of a survey of “1,152 Republican activists” identifying their favorite pundits. The top five are Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Charles Krauthammer, Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity — i.e., the top talk-radio star, three Fox News hosts and and […]

Wait Until Glenn Beck Sees This!

“Spooky Dude” by Chris Cassone. Video by Mr. Pinko of IOwnTheWorld.com. UPDATE: Dude! Re-Tweeted by Glenn Beck! How does this compare to getting Tweeted by Alyssa Milano? Don’t be divisive!

Buying Gold? Caveat Emptor

On previous occasions, I’ve made the point that gold prices are going up and that, in times of uncertainty — as, for example, when the Federal Reserve is pursuing a clearly inflationary policy — gold is a good investment.
