The Other McCain

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

Momma Grizzly-1, Terminator-0

by Smitty (via Twitter, source scrolled away) The Governator tried to talk Twitter trash about being unable to see Russia while flying over Alaska, and got beaten down. In other Sarah news, the Beck visit seems to be a pure 9/11 remembrance. But could Beck have some deeper, proselytizing plot? Will they both convert to […]

Sarah Palin’s Biggest Gamble

Following up on the earlier post about Sarah Palin’s endorsement of Christine O’Donnell, I have spoken to a few sources, one of whom described this as “the longest of long shots,” a decision based not on political calculation but as a matter of “pure principle.” Another source pointed out that Rush Limbaugh might have had an influence, […]

PALIN ENDORSES O’DONNELL!

MIRACLE! Dave Weigel reports that Sarah Palin just called into Sean Hannity‘s radio show to officially endorse Christine O’Donnell in the Delaware GOP Senate primary. Answered prayer! Is it too little, too late? UPDATE: From O’Donnell’s Twitter feed: UPDATE II: Matt Lewis notes: “So far, Palin has not commented on her Facebook page or Twitter […]

A Smear Too Far

Alyssa Milano Loves Her Dodgers

They’re having tough luck this season, playing .500 ball but still nine-and-a-half games behind the Padres in the NL West. Win or lose, our Alyssa remains loyal to Dodger Blue: (Hat-tip: Dan Collins at Piece of Work in Progress.)

‘I Couldn’t Resist the Opportunity to Experience Gillespie First-Hand’

So says Lisa DePasquale. IYKWIMAITYD. Really, I hate to be nitpicky, Lisa, but how can you interview Nick Gillespie and not ask about his leather jacket? Gillespie is the Fonz of libertarians. (Hat-tip: Instapundit.)

Mark Levin vs. Allahpundit (PLUS: How Many Pro-Lifer Voters in Delaware?)

Levin is rapidly becoming talk radio’s most Web 2.0-savvy host. He’s got nearly 40,000 Twitter followers and more than 200,000 fans on Facebook. And he’s not only reading blogs, he’s arguing with bloggers: Allahpundit over at Hotair, linking to like-minded bloggers here and there, argues, among other things, that he thought Beck was wrong when […]
