The Other McCain

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

Bolsheviks for Monarchy

Matthew Yglesias hates greedy rich people and “corporate America” and — of course — despises all racism, sexism, homophobia and every other form of prejudice or intolerance you could imagine. Somehow, these leftist commitments do not stop Yglesias from fawning over British royalty. All politics is local, I suppose. And any hypocrisy is acceptable, so long as it is […]

‘As I Am Big-Busted and Like to Have Fun, Guys Are Instantly Interested in Me’

Clan Cameron Triumphs

David Cameron just became Prime Minister of Great Britain, a Tory triumph that we conservatives here on the far side of the pond can cheerfully celebrate.
