The Other McCain

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

‘Same Old Place, Sweet Home Chicago’

Remember the bikini bombshell? Lots of laughs. Good times. But is it possible that a Democrat like Jesse Jackson Jr. could actually lose in Chicago? Never say never, as I point out in my latest American Spectator column: Isaac Hayes wasn’t always happy to share the same name as a singer famed for “Shaft” and other 1970s […]

Florida 20: Send Debbie Wasserman-Shultz To The Beach

by Smitty (via The Corner) The sanest wonk in Congress, Paul Ryan, attempts to speak sense. DWS replies with “fear Wall Street”. If anything, Ryan’s plan is too centrist, in my opinion. My opinion is probably not too politically tenable, either. This blog would like to commend Paul Ryan for extraordinary tact when faced with […]

Under-the-Bleachers Blogger Externalizes Rage, Demands to See Speedo Picture

Susie Madrak’s conference-call complaint that the Obama White House treats liberal bloggers like “the girl you’ll take under the bleachers but you won’t be seen with in the light of day,” has become the hottest topic on the ‘sphere. The premise of the conflict is itself a conundrum, as Allahpundit says: Mind you, the purpose of […]

Take Order Issued On 20 House Seats

by Smitty The FaceBook Page That Rocked America just celebrated 6 months of the ObamaCare sucking wallet wound with a post: “Lies, Damned Lies – Obamacare 6 Months Later; It’s Time to Take Back the 20!” No need to quote the litany of government prevarication outlined. This blog, ever concerned with safety, would like to […]

Oh, My: Liberal Bloggers Getting Tired of Putting Out (Propaganda) for Obama?

“We’re the girl you’ll take under the bleachers but you won’t be seen with in the light of day.” — Susan Madrak, Crooks and Liars Never mind exactly why Madrak went off on David Axelrod during a conference call today. The point is that she’s right. In order to win elections, Democrats have to pretend […]

This Is Not a Scandal!

Newsreal contributor Susannah Fleetwood attended BlogCon, where she was kind enough to pose with  sidekick Smitty: Earlier today, Smitty highlighted Mrs. Fleetwood’s latest column and, in an e-mail thanking us for the linkage, she mentioned remembering that someone had taken a photo like this.
