The Other McCain

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

Greetings From California!

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. — My host, Ladd Ehlinger Jr., tells me that this is known as the “Porn Capital of the World,” but that’s not why I’m here or why Ladd’s here.

Dear Mrs. Other McCain

As you know, I’m actually on a plane to California now, and this was written in advance for posting while I’m offline. The whole “traveling campaign correspondent” thing is kind of fun, but it’s tough being out on the road so much. Anyway, don’t forget I love you.

You don’t belong here!” Via Memeorandum and Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit, where the focus is on the racism of the Chicano militant group colloquially known as “The Klan With a Tan.” Allow me to suggest that let’s not […]

The De-Crackerization of California

Adios, gringos!
