The Other McCain

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

We’re All Inside Roy Edroso’s Head

It’s actually started to get a bit crowded inside the cranium of the Village Voice‘s designated monitor of the right-wing blogosphere. In writing about reaction to the Flotilla of Fools, Roy Edroso links me thus: “Obama vs. Israel,” headlined Robert Stacy McCain. He never explained this headline — except poetically, or psychedelically, with an unsupported […]

Black Monday?

Probably not. It would be foolish to think that Wall Street would repeat Friday’s performance when there were more bears than a birthday party for Andrew Sullivan and the Dow fell 324 points. The more likely scenario today would be for the Dow to regain a hundred or so points. On the other hand, Asian […]

Allahpundit Mentions Me By Name

OK, he didn’t actually link me, but the acknowledgement of my existence is not a trivial thing. On the 4 millionth hit post, Smitty’s buddy Jeff Weimer commented: Now if we can get Allahpundit to start linking you, we’ll get that slump licked. You may be getting close – he actually mentioned you by name […]

Perez Hilton Parody Shifts Away From Self; Now Parodying Man Of Principle

by Smitty Rush Limbaugh was married recently, as our readers well know. Via Orit Sklar on Twitter comes word of foppish buffoon Perez Hilton mocking Sir Elton John for playing the Limbaugh wedding. “$1 Million for my soul” says Elton in the photo. In the first place, Perez, it would be a drab world if […]

Interracial Marriage Rate Increase Meets Resistance

by Smitty The news that interracial marriage rates are increasing seems like a good thing. Family history and ethnic heritage, while excellent and worthy of all preservation, needs to be balanced with the fact that we’re all Americans and bleed one color when defending our Constitution. The news that the lines are blurring was met […]

South Carolina Sacred Honor Watch

Yeah, I stole the “sacred honor” thing from Ace. Crucify me. He’s taking the day off and missed the latest development, so I’m forced to imagine how Ace would headline it: Will Folks: Sacred Honor Compels Me to Drop More Hints That Might Look Like Threats But I’m a Southern Gentleman — and, Oh, By the Way, Nikki Haley […]

Obama vs. Israel

Professor William Jacobson asks a provocative question: Can Obama survive a second Obama term? Read the whole thing. One of the points I considered discussing in the “Rachel Corrie Death Cult” post was how, by showing “solidarity” with Hamas, liberals are guaranteeing a continuation of the horrific circumstances which are their primary grievance against Israel. […]

FOUR MILLION VISITORS!

Yes, it’s true, The Other McCain just passed the 4-million mark in total visits since the beginning of full-time blogging in March 2008. The first million was, of course, celebrated in February 2009 with the publication of “How to Get a Million Hits on Your Blog in Less Than a Year.” Smitty joined as co-blogger shortly thereafter […]
