The Other McCain

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

Obligatory Charlie Crist TV Ad

Totally poached from Hot Air: “At the end of the day, there’s only one party I work for . . . Charlie Crist” — which pretty much sums up the selfishness of these unprincipled backstabbing closet-case RINO types. But why bring Mike Castle into this?

Because It’s Awesome, That’s Why

OK, I don’t have to give you a reason why I’m posting this video, but if you insist on asking . . . (Hat-tip: Quincy City Desk.)

Glenn Wilson vs. the Mob

I know nothing about Glenn Wilson, an independent candidate in Michigan’s 1st Congressional District, but he was certainly smart to get Ladd Ehlinger Jr. to produce this memorable campaign video: Update (Smitty): Stacy, either my head ‘sploded, or Don Dino, up whose nose the viewer nearly crawls, is Evan Sayet, after whose Heritage talk two years […]

When Mothers-In-Law Strike

by Smitty A re-enactment of my previous arrival, in 2008. There was some street work underway, requiring my wife, D., to park some blocks off. Mother-in-law was aware of a visit at some point from D., but no mention of me in tow. I walked up to the door alone. I buzzed, and she opened […]

ELO Laid Low

Is it ‘Electric Light’ Orchestra, or Electric ‘Light Orchestra’.” Piece of Work in Progress reports the sad demise of a former band cellist. My favorite ELO cut, though I guess the deceased didn’t play […]

Ladd Ehlinger WSJ Making-Of Clip

by Smitty Ladd Ehlinger tweets that the WSJ has finally posted the behind-the-scenes look at the filming of his now-viral Jane Harman ad: It appears that, for reasons of good taste, the Stacy McCain covered-in-pudding moment was edited out, leading to outbursts of hate in the Haight. Go, Mattie Fein! Also, watch carefully, as John […]

‘Recovery Summer’ Sure To Go Viral

by Smitty (via Insty) It just kept building, and the final graphic and background clip had me in a full-on guffaw: Would that the context wasn’t so serious.

Drinkers Outliving Non-Drinkers

by Smitty I’m cheerfully sober, though I’ve had my share of embarrassments. Anorak has a gallery of shame that is work-place safe. My favorite: Bottom line: Stay below the legal limit for drunkenness. Don’t become inebriated in unfamiliar locations. If your ‘friends’ have a penchant for lunatic stunts, volunteer for duty driver. Also, find better […]
