The Other McCain

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

REPUBLICAN DEBATE IN MICHIGAN

The Lonely Conservative has all the essentials about tonight’s debate — 8 p.m. ET — to be broadcast on CNBC. Rather than live-blogging, I’ll be updating periodically with links and comments. BTW, Ann Coulter’s latest column is a must-read, if only for the quote about “idiot Republicans (who should be tracked down and shot).” UPDATE: […]

First, They Came for Mel Bradford

Karen Kraushaar made this horse ‘very uncomfortable,’ according to friends of the horse, who requested anonymity “I love Cain’s story. He’s a guy who came from nowhere and did well, obviously against heavy odds. He’s a doer and a straight-talker, which I don’t see enough of from either party.” — Clint Eastwood “On his radio […]

Herman Cain Under the Bus? ‘No Wonder We’re So Well and Truly F–ked’

“I write for money. And so far, nobody’s offered to pay me to save the world.” — Robert Stacy McCain, May 5, 2008 Mike Hendrix at Cold Fury has an excellent round-up about the argument among conservatives about how we should react to the accusations against Herman Cain.

Tarkenton: Government Intervention Is A Blitzing 300lb Linebacker Coming To Sack An Economy Near You

Public Sector Unions: Conflict Of Interest?

by Smitty A couple of WSJ articles of note today on one of those no-brainer questions: Ohio Voters Reject Public-Union Limits The law would have stripped the state’s 350,000 public employees of most of their collective-bargaining rights and forced workers to pay at least 15% of their health-care costs. With 97% of precincts reporting, 61% […]

Karen Kraushaar, Serial Victim

One of Herman Cain’s accusers, who left the National Restaurant Association with $45,000 in “go away” money, then got a government job, where she filed a complaint demanding money and a promotion: Karen Kraushaar, 55, filed the complaint while working as a spokeswoman at the Immigration and Naturalization Service in the Justice Department in late […]

Hard To Tell If The Tom Brokaw Diction Will Save Mitt Romney

by Smitty What struck me about Mitt at the Defending the American Dream Summit was how Romney will hang onto a consonant when giving a speech.
