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

Arizona über alles!

The “Fourth Reich” meme has caught on, as predicted, with a Colorado Democrat invoking the Nazi specter: “It is absolutely reminiscent of second class status of Jews in Germany prior to World War II when they had to have their papers with them at all times and were subject to routine inspections at the suspicion of […]

Allen West Must Win

Citing a new poll about Allen West’s campaign in FL22, Dave Weigel says: [T]his should be one of the 40 seats Republicans win if they take control of the House in November. Exactly. A lot of pundits are sitting around predicting a 40+ pickup for the GOP, but those kind of big numbers overlook the […]

Mitch McConnell Mildly Miffed, But In A Good Way

by Smitty The Senate Minority Leader was nearly moved to passion: “Whether it’s the Stimulus, the debt, health care, bailouts — you name it — the concerns Republicans raised are being validated. And Democrats have the nerve, in this debate, to say that we’re the ones who are being dishonest.” What would it take to […]
