The Other McCain

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

‘How Dare You Quote Me, Haters?!’

There is a phenomenon on the Left — especially among academics and other “intellectual” types, including feminists — where they become so used to living within cocoons of like-minded sympathizers that they don’t realize how weird their ideas seem to normal people. And so, when somebody outside the cocoon takes notice and quotes their deranged […]

The Drunk Sluts Rights Movement

Back in August, when I covered “SlutWalk DC,” I observed: Date rape is an apparently common campus crime that usually involves two drunk young people, one of whom has an erect penis, and the other of whom is unable to avert what the erect penis typically does. Of course, feminists would denounce such a statement […]

Joan Walsh Thinks It’s All About Her

“Bitter partisanship has left this woman a hulking, steaming pile of radioactive filth. She just hates. No amount of Obama/Democrat failure will shake her from what is, for all intents and purposes, a psychotic obsession with the ‘evil’ right.” — Donald Douglas, American Power Sometimes it’s just your turn as scapegoat, and the best you […]

Liberals Use Counter-Factual Arguments to Defend Academic Anti-Gun Mania

University of Rhode Island Professor Erik Loomis Glenn Reynolds notices a Salon columnist falsely accusing him of trying to get Erik Loomis fired over last year’s Newtown controversy. Whether or not Loomis should have been fired, the fact that he made his unhinged comments while an untenured assistant professor at the University of Rhode Island […]
