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

A. Charles Johnson

Q. What’s more boring than soccer? We might assume, arguendo, that regular readers have been following The Other McCain’s relentless mockery of the 2010 World Cup.

Gen. McChrystal Relieved of Command

This was predictable: President Obama has relieved Gen. Stanley McChrystal of his command in Afghanistan, administration officials said. Obama will make the official announcement in a few minutes. UPDATE: Gen. Petraeus has been asked to take over in Afghanistan. UPDATE II: Sissy Willis on Twitter: The slur “General Betray Us” was coined by Keith Olbermann. And the […]

USA! USA! USA!

America was three minutes away from being eliminated from the World Cup when midfielder Landon Donovan scored in overtime to give the U.S. team a 1-0 victory over Algeria.
