The Other McCain

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

One Of The Best Pages On The Net

by Smitty The topic of deconstruction came up last night. Deconstruction is to art what Postmodernism is to Philosophy, and Progressivism is to our politics: a nihilistic effort to destroy reason, the Enlightenment, and our Constitution. Hence the record here on the blog that I regularly pump as many metaphorical shotgun shells into the whole […]

Fear & Loathing: Breakfast of Champions UPDATE: Rick Santorum Wins Iowa; Perry Will Quit and Endorse Gingrich

The National Affairs Desk at McDonald’s in Greenville, S.C., 11:10 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2012 NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. My 13-year-old son Jefferson and I got back here at 2:30 a.m, and woke up Ali Akbar, in whose hotel room we’re crashing through Saturday.

Couple Of Points On The Race Card

by Smitty Da Tech Guy wonders why the race card went unplayed in the case of Herman Cain. If you flip it over, the Race Card says “Property of the National Socialist Democrat Workers Party”.

by Smitty via email: Dear [American], In just one week, President Obama will deliver his State of the Union speech to a joint session of Congress and the nation. The President always seems to conveniently forget in his speeches that he has been president for the past three years. We can expect him to refuse […]

Newt Gingrich Mysteriously Cancels Press Conference at S.C. State Capitol

COLUMBIA, S.C. This morning’s schedule showed that Newt Gingrich would have an 11:30 a.m. press conference here at the Statehouse, and I drove nearly 100 miles from Charleston to cover it but Newt was a no-show, and no one seems to know why. I’ll add more information as soon as I can find out what […]

To Expand on What Smitty Said

Finding political symbolism in the latest headlines can be a silly game. It may be that the Costa Concordia should teach no lesson other than to remind us why the phrase “Italian navy” never struck terror in anyone’s heart. Nevertheless, Vox Day ventured the opinion that feminism was somehow implicated in the disaster, an opinion which […]

Part Of Recovering Western Civilization Is Just Saying “No” To Feminist Tripe

by Smitty The Last Tradition links to Lowry in the NY Post contrasting the Titanic with Costa Concordia, but I think this analysis overplays the hand by a long shot: I’m not trying to single out Italian men because the same crisis exists in the United States.
