The Other McCain

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

Civil Rights and ‘Elevator Eyes’

“Elevator Eyes: When someone looks another person up and down, giving their eyes the resemblance of elevators.” — Urban Dictionary Michael Barone explains that the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights sent a 19-page letter to colleges and universities in April: The OCR letter includes a requirement that universities adopt a “preponderance of the […]

Ladd’s Ad Gets Results

And by “results,” I don’t mean merely a cease-and-desist letter from a lawyer for the Los Angeles County Democratic Party. No, as I report at The American Spectator: Tuesday, the National Republican Congressional Committee debuted a new “Hahn Got Me Out” Web site telling 36th District voters: “Janice Hahn helped steer taxpayer money to support violent, […]

Film Noir and the Femme Fatale

For the second consecutive night, insomnia struck and I found myself watching the 1952 film noir classic Angel Face.

Science Gone Wrong

Instapundit’s enthusiasm for all things scientific leads him to write this headline: MORE WOMEN ARE freezing their eggs to make babies later. Makes sense. Well, excuse me for disagreeing. It is a preposterously stupid idea to encourage women deliberately to postpone first-time motherhood until they are middle-aged, without concern for the obvious arguments against such a decision. For […]

Bombshell Headlines With Jane Russell

After my wee-hours insomniac rendezvous with Anna Maria Alberghetti, I slept past noon and woke up to discover that Turner Classic Movies is having a Jane Russell marathon in recognition of the late bombshell’s birthday. The film was His Kind of Woman, a 1951 noir thriller that pairs Russell with Robert Mitchum and also features […]

Disorderly Conduct at Right Online?

Well, maybe we got a little rowdy at happy hour, but I didn’t think anyone did anything worth getting arrested for, so you can imagine my surprise at this headline today: GOP blogger arrested at Netroots Nation for allegedly harassing two female bloggers for wearing Muslim head scarves in public.
