The Other McCain

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

Mark Levin vs. Glenn Beck (And Some Other CPAC-Related Musings)

My 17-year-old son Bob was driving home Monday evening after we’d picked up his twin brother James from work and we were listening to the Mark Levin’s opening monologue on 1490 AM here in Hagerstown when I said, “Uh-oh, he’s going after Glenn Beck.” I grabbed pen and a piece of paper and jotted down […]

VIDEO: CPAC Panel on ‘Saving Freedom from Fascism’

My friend (and sometimes antagonist) Quin Hillyer chaired this panel featuring Jonah Goldberg, Amity Schlaes and Herb London: People who know me as the CPAC Schmooze King — as William Upton of The American Conservative observes, I have a knack for being everywhere at CPAC — often ask me, “Stacy, why have you never been asked […]

The fire-code capacity crowd […]

CPAC: A Couple Of Good Signs

by Smitty Ace has a report on the “Anti-gay Speaker Booed Off the Stage at CPAC“. My take on a Federal level is highly libertarian: I don’t want DC fretting individual sexuality, reproduction, education, housing, health, or retirement. The other, less reported bit has to do with Philip J. Berg, of obamacrimes.com. The gentleman came […]

CPAC: The Sundries Shack Breitbart Review

by Smitty Jimmie at The Sundries Shack offers a great review/summary of Andrew Breitbart at CPAC. Andrew has already earned a Presidential Medal of Freedom, as far as this blog is concerned.
