The Other McCain

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

Married at 10? Divorced at 12? Hey, Who Wants to Play ‘Guess Which Religion’?

If you guessed “Lutheran,” try again: Nujood is a Yemeni girl . . .  (Doggone, I was going to guess “Belgian.”) . . . and it’s no coincidence that Yemen abounds both in child brides and in terrorists . . .  (Beware of the Utah Liberation Front!) For Nujood, the nightmare began at age 10 when her […]

MSM Promoting Parasite Annabel Park

A former New York Times “strategy analyst” attempts to create a left-wing clone of the Tea Party movement and — surprise! — gets gushy write-ups from both the New York Times and the Washington Post.

No conservative blogger has ever written about these subjects, you see, and Ross Douthat has never linked a conservative blogger.

Scott Brown: Taking Sexy Back — The Other McCain, Jan. 13 Bringing Sexy Back — Maureen Dowd, Jan. 26 OK, so we’re both cribbing from the same pool of pop-culture phrases. She does get in one good line: The only question left is: Why isn’t Scott Brown delivering the State of the Union? Maureen Dowd […]

Are Vampire Masks Racist? Also: How Bad Does David Brooks Suck?

Of course, I don’t think vampire masks are racist, but expect the Left to make that accusation against Michelle Malkin. Speaking of vampires and other things that suck worse than Avatar, David Brooks’ column yesterday was a backhanded putdown of the Tea Party movement, as Malkin notes. I bought the New York Times yesterday in the San Francisco airport […]
